Hate the blissful feeling that accompanies plucking a brand new game from the patch on launch day? Think digital distribution is just too convenient? Well then, you'll be one of the backward-thinking few who actually appreciate Ubisoft's Far Cry 2 pre-order deal. Simply stroll over to your nearest participating game store, place a few dollars in the cash register, and unlock "hours" worth of crucial gameplay! Have a looksie at what's on the other side of the hoops you'll soon be jumping through:

  • The Georgian: The Georgian informant has gone into hiding at the Fuel Depot in UFLL territory, find him and discover what your predecessor learned from him about the Jackal’s location.
  • The Bolivian: The Bolivian informant is on the run, trying to escape the country by stealing a plane from a small airfield in APR territory. Try to get to him before your predecessor does.
  • Special Delivery: Your employers have more information for you about your predecessor – learn the location of his new dead drop and raid it to find information about his secret meetings.
  • Le Francais: A French smuggler and arms dealer who may have been providing arms to the Jackal has been tipped off, and your predecessor is trying to stop him from crossing the border. Find out what Frenchman’s price is.

For those of you who don't pre-order, or who plan to (legally) download the title, we don't really know what to tell you. So far, the "bonus" seems to be limited to retail channels, but we'll contact Ubisoft for more info.

In the meantime, however, don't worry too much. We already pre-ordered the game months ago.

Any idea if this applies to Steam preorders?  Old or new?  I was thinking of preording from steam...  should I just get the box copy now? or do steam users get the new content too?

Just buy the game and install it from the DVD or CD's and then update the game and then goto Gamecopyworld.com and get the NOCD/DVD crack or EXEFix. Or just get it off of Steam and you wont have to every worry about a stinking dvd or cd again. Whenever I upgrade or build a new system I just download the games that I have available and that I feel like playing from my Steam account. It's freaking awsome.

So does this mean that all the people who pre-ordered the game weeks ago with Steam's FarCry combo pack (myself included) won't get Crytek's 'special' update?

Also if FarCry2 has SecureRom I might just download and run a pirated copy -even though I bought the game- just to avoid it!

For those that are wondering, here's the FC2 DRM info straight from Ubi's website:

"This video game is protected by the digital rights management software SecuROM which installs additional components required for copy protection on the user's computer and limits the number of installations of the game. During the installation and/or the first launch, an online connection is required to unlock the game."
