#Far cry 2 multiplayer upgrade
But in one-off custom matches, you'll be able to earn diamonds fast enough to upgrade multiple classes in one match or one session. In ranked matches, you'll have a persistent account where your classes' upgrade levels are carried from one game to the next, and the experience-point curve for gaining diamonds here will be steep. You can then cash in a diamond to raise one of the classes up one level, which will unlock alternate primary and secondary weapons and things like that. You earn experience points mid-match by pulling off specific tasks, like flag captures or kill streaks, and those points translate into diamonds.
That would be a decent amount of variety already, but in this post-Call of Duty 4 world, you can't really make a multiplayer shooter without some kind of character-progression system, so each of these classes can be upgraded up to three times. It's probably closer to Halo in terms of basic movement and so on. All of the classes seem to control basically the same the game has a more slowly paced, deliberate feel than what you'd be used to from Call of Duty. The rebel uses a flamethrower, while the gunner carries a heavy machine gun. The guerrilla has a combat shotgun, Molotov cocktail, and other close-quarters attacks. The sharpshooter starts with a sniper rifle. The six classes are guerrilla, gunner, commando, sharpshooter, rebel, and saboteur, and each one of them has a specific focus. Hey, I didn't get to do any hang gliding! Your choice of class only seems to determine your weapon loadout. The match I played ended up in a back-and-forth stalemate until time ran out, so you'll need real team coordination to hold all your captured points and kill the opposing team's leader. But, of course, he can keep retaking the points you've already gotten if he's crafty enough. Once you've got all three points, your team has to take out the other commander to win. That guy's the only one who can capture each of the points, by hanging around them for 20 seconds each. It sticks you in a map with three control points and randomly nominates one player on each team as the commander. If you've ever even caught a whiff of a multiplayer shooter before, Uprising is the only one of those I'll need to explain.
There are three modes in Far Cry 2 multiplayer: Deathmatch (in delicious flavors like team and free-for-all), Capture the Diamond, and Uprising. Though since you're playing as a bunch of mercenaries, the action and equipment have a slightly dirtier, seat-of-the-pants feel to them. I got to try out all the game's online modes at an Ubi event in San Francisco, and found the gameplay sticks close to what you've come to expect in those sorts of games. The online action here is more traditional map-by-map, class-based action, somewhere between Call of Duty 4 and Battlefield. Mmm, explosions.Far Cry 2 also has a multiplayer mode which utilizes the technical aspects of the single-player but not the campaign-specific gameplay mechanics. The game's campaign is seriously ambitious, but if Ubisoft Montreal can pull it all off, I'm expecting it to be something special. You've heard plenty by now about what's unique in Far Cry 2: its open-world gameplay set in a massive section of the African savanna its dynamic social hierarchy of warring mercenary factions allying and reorganizing themselves based on who you befriend and who you kill its advanced physics and weather systems that allow you to destroy small buildings, watch the resulting fire spread across the dry plain grass, then see a storm come in and quash the flames.
