Tall grass gently swaying in the wind, tranquil watering holes, groves of short trees: no, this isn’t the opening to some sort of tourism commercial, it’s a video showing various areas of the African wilderness that the Jackal might be hiding in. The Jackal is the mysterious BBEG (Big Bad Evil Guy) that you’re trying to hunt down throughout the storyline in Far Cry 2 -- lest he continue his arms peddling ways.

I’ve gotta say, Far Cry 2 is looking better every time I see it. The large, realistic environments really give the game a one man stranded in an unknown and hostile wilderness sort of feel. Plus, you can set almost everything on fire, and who doesn’t enjoy setting large swaths of vegetation ablaze? I know I'll definetely be picking up a copy when Far Cry 2 releases this fall on the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.

To get a better idea of all the features Far Cry 2 will contain, check out Hamza’s hands-on from back in May.

Looking sweet, I had almost forgot about it entirely with all of the other games I'm looking to get this fall/holliday season. I wish my PC could handle this but I'll definatly have to give it a look for PS3 closer to launch.

Why that Islamic tune?

Muslims in Africa in the storyline or something that I am missing(I only could see black and white people in the trailer)?


P.S. I actualy recognaise that tune but for the sake of me can't remember its proper name. I do know however that it has been used on some videos for Jihadies showing off there road side bombing skills, which kinda spoils it for me and makes me wonder why on earth they used it for this.

@xe-cute: Barra Barra, written by Hans Zimmer (German composer), performed by Rachid Taha (French African artist), in the style of Raï, which originated in Africa (Oran, Algeria).

That was a pretty excellent trailer. I'm quite pumped for the game. Nice song choice too.

Found a translation now too....

BARRA BARRA:
barra = out side
....sadness and dislike
....sadness sadness there is no safe
....thirst and the people runlucky
....forbiddingness and unfair and servitude
....the valleyes have been dry and the seas have been finished
....stars have been switched off ,and the sun finished
....there is no fine ,happy,and flowers
....there is no birds sound ,the birds pause in singing
....there is no light just the dark
....obyes there is no nice
....the time go on ,and there is nothing forbiddend
....sadness and right and the blood flew
....just the walls are standing up
....the scare and the people are silent
.........the same repite again in the song.
