    Yea the point of the flare is to launch one and confuse the hell out of the enemy -- aka draw them to a spot. Then when they get there it's sniping time. It's a pure joy.

        OK now this game is really starting to grow on me. I love taking the boats up and down the river. Do you unlock weapons by doing jobs for the guys in the weapons store or just by doing jobs in general?

          Once in a while you find a cool gun while doing a main mission job, but to get guns you can buy and keep in your warehouses you have to do the weapons store missions.

            I've been kind of hesitant to pick up weapons that my dead adversaries leave on the ground because I don't want those rusty weapons that jam up. Maybe I should give it a try though. I don't think i've come across any AK47's or anything though. Seems like all i've come across so far is one of the shotguns, the default pistol you start with, and the AK04(?). Maybe i'm not far enough into the game yet.

              I'm over 31% done now. Am I seeing a different map? Just went to a new safe city and there appears to be a job going to an island and the map looks different.

                Yep, another entire map. Man, that makes this game even more huge. I'm sure that at the 2/3rds mark I'll see another one, but this was a nice surprise.

                  Yea I was at about 40% when I got moved to the next map. It's pretty awesome that they spring that on you, and then you see all those fresh things to do and you get re-overwhelmed basically.

                  A cool feeling.

                    This game has really hooked me. I love that one mission early in the game where you take out the two guys who are making drugs to hook kids and the one guy is hiding out at the airstrip.......just standing on that high platform sniping everybody from a distance is way fun.

                    And they got the light and shading for the different times of day absolutely perfect. My wife wandered into the room last night and was captivated for a few minutes. She was like "wow, that looks amazing".

                    I think a cool thing to add would've been crocs in the rivers. Not all over the place but just here and there. Shoot a guy on the dock or boat deck so he falls into the water and then a croc grabs him and drags the corps away.

                      I was thinking the same thing, even out in the plains have a pride of lions appear that you had to stay away from. You do see lots of wild life, but this would have been a nice touch.

                        Yes, it's like another new game.

                          Whoa! This map is intense, rocket launchers being fired at you, mortar rounds, seems like more rebel soldiers, too.

                            Yea the second map is definitely harder to deal with.

                                Ubisoft announces Fortune's Pack DLC

                                If you haven't had enough of malaria and the hot, African sun, Ubisoft's got you covered.

                                The publisher has announced today that it will be releasing a downloadable content package for Far Cry 2 by the end of November. Called "The Fortune's Pack," it will add two new vehicles (the Unimog and the Quad), along with three new weapons (silenced shotgun, sawed-off shotgun, and crossbow). All of the vehicles and weapons will be accessible in both single-player and multiplayer modes.

                                Speaking of multiplayer, the DLC also adds four new maps -- "Cheap Labor," "Last Resort," "Lake Smear," and "Fort Fury."

                                The pack will be available for both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and will cost $9.99 or 800 MS Points, respectively.
