When it rains it pours :)
First one from our friends at www.gamersdepot.com With some very nice screenies!

The multiplayer action we saw on Far Cry is looking fast and furious, too. With both Deathmatch and Far Cry’s “Assault Mode” available, the shootin’ started in a hurry and stayed fast-paced throughout the evening. With an extremely interactive environment, lots of vehicles and weapons to play with, and an eye-popping graphics engine, the levels we saw reminded us of Jurassic Park—subtract the dinosaurs, and add a ton of gunshots and badguys, and you’ll get the picture.

The editor also lets you adjust the starting time of day in the map, as well as wind speed and direction (which governs the extent to which foliage will sway), and it lets you drag and drop plenty of different objects into a map, including trees, enemy soldiers, and vehicles. The current version of the editor contains hundreds of different such assets, and it lets you make maps that are at least two square kilometers in size, though that number may change. The editor also lets you string together different maps to make your own minicampaign, and it even allows for cinematic sequences. Devoted fans who want to make sure their cutscenes and dramatic set pieces are perfect will appreciate the ability to jump into the map from a first-person view and play it while editing it so that they can tweak every last little detail by continuously jumping into the map to see how their latest additions will look in the game.
