Ubisoft announces that Far Cry 2 has sold a million copies worldwide less than three weeks after release...
French publisher Ubisoft has announced that its open world FPS Far Cry 2 has sold 1 million copies worldwide across Xbox 360, PS3, and PC platforms. The genre re-defining shooter has reached this landmark less than three weeks after the game's release.
This news comes (perhaps with slightly unfortunate timing) on the same day that Microsoft has announced 2 million Gears of War 2 unit sales in a matter of days. To find out why Far Cry 2 is a bit of a grower rather than the instantly gratifying hit of Microsoft's powerhouse shooter, mosey on down to our review.
"The holiday quarter is off to a solid start with the successful launch of Far Cry 2," said Yves Guillemot, Chief Executive Officer at Ubisoft. "The game is well on track to achieve our expectations for the year."
With one million sales at this early point in the holiday rush, Far Cry 2 has enjoyed a more fruitful beginning than its arch rival Crysis (which eventually rested on around 1.5 million unit sales months after release). However, it's worth remembering that these latest figures are across three platforms rather than the single platform that Crysis was released on.
Having entered the UK charts at Number 2, Ubisoft Montreal's sequel has since quickly dropped to 6 and then 14 in its following two weeks on the charts.

Of course you can't play multiplayer without Xbox Live - or are you referring to splitscreen?

pay for an xbox live gold membership might work also once you connoect to xbox live download a few maps to see whats possible on the 360 as the pc version can handle the game better especially with lots of items on screen (explosiv boxes ect)

I suspect he is if he's only got one more diamond to find. I guess you'd be pretty lucky to get that many just by stumbling acrosthem :)

Are you using the diamond detector, which is the light on your GPS that starts blinking green when you're near a diamond. The more it blinks, the closer you are, and the green light is continuous if you're directly facing the diamond's position?

from post 111 (forgot to login) lol i chose to defend mikes bar suprisingly the buddy diddnt turn round and start shooting me, anyway now on the second act i just need 1 more diamond and ill have all the cases though now its like looking for a needle in a hay stack.

That buddy bug is weird. I guess I know what plot choice you'll be making at the end of the first map.

from post 111 im playing the 360 version which to be honest is quite a let down especially as it has frmae rate issues and pop up (objects in the game suddenly appear when your close to them and vanish just as quickly) to be honest i diddnt notice the frame rate dropping till recently.
lol and finding all the diamonds on the 360 only gets you 10g but ive already completed it so now im looking for the diamonds and safe houses, lol a bit like looking for pidgons in gta (takes a while but adds a bit of fun to the game)
