[edit] Vehicle: blow up doll ?

I don't recall this one! Vandalism?

[edit] Film

A film that is based on the movie has been announced and I think it ought to be mentioned in the article, but which section should it be put in? Create a new section for it? Here's the IMDb info: [1] - Quirk 19:17, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Pistol Identity. Desert Eagle?

The picture caption states, "Standing on a beach area with a Desert Eagle". Im not certain but I think the pistol is called something else. Falcon something I think. Does anyone else know for sure?

There is a chance that the pistol in diferent versions (Far Cry, Far Cry: Instincts, etc) may be different, I know some weapons are.

Also I belive Rythie (bellow) is right. The original 'Far Cry' is PC only, 'Far Cry: Instincts' is X-Box exclusive. There is also another called 'Far Cry: Evoulution' which is out for X-Box and X-Box 360, and possibly PC. Im not quite sure; all the different versions are a little confusing.

Guest, The-Edge.

In the PC version, the pistol is named the "Jungle Falcon", apparently a play on the title "Desert Eagle" Far Cry: Instincts is different from the PC version in that it appears that you gain abilities similar to the Trigens. Delta 19:23, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

In the manual included with the PC version of the game and in the game itself the pistol is called the Falcon 357 but I have no idea about console versions of the game. You could ask the guy who submitted it to say what console the screenshot is from to clear up the problem. Hydraton31 15:38, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Surely there can be at least one decent screen shot!!! (Lachlan, Far Cry gamer, 15/12/2006).

[edit] This was never released on Consoles

I do not believe this game was released on consoles. I do not know for sure, but I believe that to be true. However, Farcry Instincts is an Xbox Exclusive. Mrja84 24:09 EDST

I think the text could be slightly clearer, from what I can tell, 'Far Cry' is the original game for the PC and 'Far Cry Instincts' is the port to the Xbox, it's not clear what the differences between the version are. User:Rythie

The Xbox version is a whole different game, only shares the engine, universe and character name really...

All the sequences and story line are the same. Other then the resolution was 800x600, uses the controller S made simular, having all the multiplayer maps coming with v1.0, it is the same exact game. User:Renegadeviking

[edit] M4?

Might I ask what an m727 is? It looks very, very much like an M4 to me. Delta 20:18, 6 April 2006 (UTC)


[edit] No plot summary

The instincts article has one, but this one does not. :/

- I just added one, although it has been a while since I played the game. It should all be correct though. --Tenkosaurus 18:14, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

I've played it through 3 times, and added details to it including quotes from Doyle and Kriegger. You did pretty well though, good job. -psych787

How do you get God mode? It doesn't work for me!

[edit] Saving

The article claims a quick saving feature was added in a later patch. It must be well hidden, as I've never noticed it yet.

The current version allows players to manually save and load via console commands. Not much, but it beats relying on the checkpoints. BobBQ 08:53, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removal of the HDR section

I removed the HDR section because that information should be in the HDR article, not in the Far Cry one. ~Uniclyclopedia

[edit] Patch 1.4 multiplayer changes

i added the minor changes in player classes section, much more info is outdated since 1.4 (HntrXXL 00:03, 4 November 2006 (UTC))

[edit] 1.4 patch

Why is the 1.4 patch not available on the official web site? This is why I tried to change this article to reflect the fact that 1.33 is the latest officially available, but someone changed it back :-(. Krymzn.

Krymzn, Patch 1.4 is available from the UBI Patch downloads page... http://www.ubi.com/US/Downloads/Info.aspx?dlId=691
