Far Cry 2 Multiplayer Details Given, No Demo Coming

There’s both good news and bad news for those looking forward to Far Cry 2.

First, the good news: Ubisoft Montreal has detailed the various multiplayer modes that will be present in the game. They include Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture the Diamond and Uprising. CtD, as the name suggests, is the CTF format reworked into the game to work in its African setting. Uprising is a modified version of a VIP mode.

Now the bad news: there won’t be a playable demo for the game. Apparently, even if they do try to make a demo, it’d be too complex due to the nature of open-world games.

Far Cry 2 comes out on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 on October 21 in North America.
