** The AK-47, as well as many other guns in the game, have left-facing ejection ports, [[strike:which in RealLife would cause the shooter to take hot shell casings [[NotInTheFace to the face.]]]]No it doesn't.[[hottip:*:Down the sleeve maybe, but not into the face. Most firearms are designed to throw ejecting brass away from the shooter, which usually means off to one side and slightly forward. If you're getting hit in the face with your own brass, you're not holding it right.]]

After publisher Ubisoft and developer Crytek parted ways, Crytek went on to create ''{{Crysis}}'', while Ubisoft retained the name rights and went on to develop ''Far Cry 2'', a sequel InNameOnly that has the player take the role of one of a dozen mercenaries working in a war-torn African nation, playing both sides while hunting a notorious arms dealer known as the Jackal. The game lacks the mutants and sci-fi aspects of the original ''Far Cry'', instead opting for a darker, morally ambiguous story inspired by the Joseph Conrad novel ''The HeartOfDarkness''. ''Far Cry 2'' features a completely WideOpenSandbox game structure. There are no levels, and the game takes place in a 20 square mile area that the player can explore freely, traveling on foot, via vehicles, or by riding buses from station to station.

* EliteMooks: The gasmask-wearing Elite Mercenaries in ''Far Cry'', armed with the best weapons and armor and possessing superior tactics and thermal-vision goggles. These guys can take about half a mag of assault rifle fire to kill, compared to just a few shots for the standard enemy {{Mooks}}. Both of these enemy types also have a 40% damage bonus to their bullets, which means they can kill you much faster than you can kill them.
** They appear in the last 2 levels of ''Far Cry Instincts'', too. There's also the Alpha Trigen Soldiers; you fight a few dozen of them just before the final boss fight.

** Also, your character seems to have an unlimited supply of matches with which to cauterize wounds, but when your out of Molotovs and flamethrower gas, can you use those matches to start fires? Of course not!

* [[BlackHelicopter]]s: Well, Ospreys.

* FridgeLogic: The diamonds are referred to as being "rough" diamonds, and while they certainly have the foggy, milky appearance of an unpolished stone, their shape still resembles one of the typical diamond cuts (sort of like a chaos emerald, you know). CoconutEffect, most likely.

There was also a [[TheMovie movie]] made of ''Far Cry'' made by...yeah, [[UweBoll take a wild guess]]. Most notable in that Stuttering Craig and Handsome Tom of ''ScrewAttack'' are in it, and so are [[InglouriousBasterds Hugo Stiglitz]] and [[NoReservations Anthony Bourdain]], oddly enough.

* VideogameFlamethrowersSuck: Except this one.

* EmergencyWeapon: The machete.

** And also, of course, the IEDs (hence the name), which appear to be made out of frisbees and other toys.

**This troper got a sick, sweet charge from systematically hunting a group down in the manner of ''[[Predator]]'' whereby they were looking for him and one by one they would abruptly be ripped under the grass. It reached a crescendo when he got to a small raised hill, stalking the last one (who was panicking and desperately calling for him to reveal himself) and LEAPING ONTO HIM WITH HIS MACHETE CARVING CHUNKS. Or letting a group of marauders draw up close in their jeep, thinking they were about to run him down and gun his corpse, but whipping out his ''[[OhCrap Grenade Crossbow]]'' at the last moment. That felt like ''[[Carrie]]''! Finally, unloading a sawnoff at point blank range on an injured [[Mook]] who thinks he has the drop on you.
