An additional two games are joining the ranks other ancient games on Microsoft’s console-side digital download platform, according to Xbox LIVE man Major Nelson.
The first of which is EA DICE’s Battlefield 2: Modern Combat -- the only game we know of where you can plant a C-4 charge on a helicopter and blow up your teammates while they’re attempting to parachute behind the enemy front. It’s priced at a reasonable $19.99 and weights in at a whopping 6 GB.
The other hitting Games on Demand is Far Cry 2 -- the only game we know of that forces people to check their position on a real-time paper map while driving. The zebra-slaughtering title isn’t hitting North America as a full game download so it looks like we’ve finally got the bone. At least for now.
So, what the fug are you guys going to do download?

...what?
Also Far Cry 2 has nothing to do with Far Cry 1, but that isn't a bad thing. Ultimately, the game had some great ideas but I don't suggest you pick it up without renting or borrowing it first -- or play a demo, if one exists.
You might say.. it is.. a .. FAR CRY BETTER THAN THE SEQUEL! MWAHAHAHA!
Sounds like we had similar experiences. The game certainly had its issues (even ignoring all the bugs), but it was very enjoyable and unique. Like you, I also became a pro at driving with my map open (all the while watching for diamonds and tapes in the area), and enjoyed the incredibly open-ended mission design. I never played it through all the way (save game issues about halfway through caused me to stop), but I still own it and definitely plan on going back to it someday.
Far Cry 2, however, is a good game at $20.
