    Idle Thumbs were right:

    Far Cry 2 is excellent: Africa, the maps, the UI, the setting, vehicles, graphics, characters, animations, guns, animals, night-day cycle, I have malaria LOL OMG I'm in a game where I have malaria!

    The disposable militia and the characters are movie-like but believable, I like my buddies, the situation is FUBAR and I have a sniper rifle and it 0wns.

    Sometimes it reminds me of Jagged Alliance, but most the time I'm just amazed at everything and how long has been since a SP game had me this immersed.

    This is how I like my SP FPS experience, thanks shack that's all.
