Although new cool stuff today were:
1> temporary sunblindness out on the sand near the Oasis.
2> repairing my truck, another truck is rolling at me, firing; I quickly run up a rock mound, not wanting to go splat when struck by a truck, to see another truck coming at an angle to the first. They would meet right where I'm standing...If I weren't on this rock, and didn't have an M-79 (it was like "Pod Intersection in 0:03) !BLOOP! The explosion flips the two vehicles across each others path.
3> Right before I quit for the night, I was on foot and dropped by a safehouse to grab a new truck. I ran past a checkpoint and they must've seen me, because I heard an engine start. I hop up in the truck at the safehouse and wait for the enemy to show. When they do, and I start firing, I suddenly realize this is not my beautiful M-249! This is my beautiful Browning M-2 Air-Cooled .50 HMG! So I saved it there.
tl;dr unmount bind still broken; sandglare, cars flipping, 50cal MG.
(For the record, I am in fact using an actual purchased copy of the game not a pirated one.)

I also don't like how you have to shoot someone with at least a half a clip just to kill them. Especially when you can only carry one automatic with limited ammo.
Far Cry 2 turned out to be rather disappointing imo. Thought it would be a 9.5, ends up being more like 7.5

1. It's nice that they show the IP of the server in the lobby but I want an easier way to join a friend in a game ESPECIALLY on a ranked server!!!
2. Why can't you join a ranked server while the match is in progress. This is ridiculous. It's not the fucking GPL!
