Far Cry 2 has odd timing, bumps up to 1.03

...and now for something completely different - a patch release! Apparently, the three games developers who are actually working this week are in France, where Ubisoft are proving to be hard taskmasters.

Far Cry 2 has been updated, and you can grab the v1.03 patch from our File Library, if you can grab it amongst the flood of E3 trailers! It fixes a whole bunch of stuff, with updates for single-player, multiplayer, and the dedicated servers themselves.

But wait - there's more! The patch also introduces a new 'hardcore' mode, which provides a new damage model: all weapons will now do "much more damage" in an attempt to increase realism!
