I rented Far Cry 2 to take a break of R2 non-stop for over a week. It's a fairly good game.

However, the map is too freaking HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously, I was initially thinking of getting all singleplayer trophies, but I have given up on that.
It's hard to find vehicles sometimes and even on them, it takes forever to get to where you need to be.
I am on the west part of the map and I get a mission that is on the other freaking side. So I learned the hard way that when you get close to it, save in a safehouse, cause if you die, you have to do it all over again.
Now, seriously, why make a map so huge? And I read that I am just on the noth part. There is a south part which is just as big.
Another thing: Man, there is so much forest that I lose the bad guys in it. I know that there is a guy shooting me, but it takes me a while to find him.
I get that they were trying for more realism (including the map that you cant pause the game to see), but it shouldnt be too real.
So, I guess I am just going to do the main missions and maybe the cell tower and arms dealer missions. Forget the freaking diamonds.
