Far Cry 2 (commonly abbreviated as “FC2 or “fc2″) is an open-ended first-person shooter developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. It was released on October 21, 2008 in North America and on October 23, 2008 in Europe and Australia. It was made available on Steam on October 22, 2008. Crytek, the developers of the original game, were not involved in the development of Far Cry 2.
Ubisoft has marketed Far Cry 2 as the true sequel to Far Cry, though the sequel has very few noticeable similarities to the original game. Instead, it features completely new characters and setting, as well as a new style of gameplay that allows the player greater freedom to explore different African landscapes such as deserts, jungles, and savannas. The game takes place in a modern-day East African nation in a state of anarchy and civil war. The player takes control of a mercenary on a lengthy journey to locate and assassinate “The Jackal,” a notorious arms dealer.
Far Cry 2 is still a popular game and the open world environment can be taxing on even the latest hardware available today.

mega stuff. thanks!
I have a view on this which might not prove popular.
I think this motherboard is very expensive for Z77. Reason? Its fine with X79 or Xeon motherboards with quad channel etc, but this is £250 for a mainstream platform? great product as always from ASUS, but I wouldnt pay this for Z77 motherboard. £200 would be my limit.
This is their X79 Rampage Extreme IV for the Z77 platform, right?
What a stunning board, great review too. Love it! ive an asus mobo and i love it to bits. so easy to work inside.
Lovely motherboard, I was tempted to buy this a week ago and bought an MSI one at the same time. Quite happy with my decision, im using a 3570K @ 4.6ghz
This is perfect for a typical system with a 2500k/3570k + 7850 or 650 ti. Would actually be better than using a higher wattage psu as it would peak at around 50 percent load when gaming.
