In 2019, we informed you about Far Cry 2 Redux. And today, modder ‘PuppyUnicorn’ released a reworked version of it. This is a mod for those that want to replay this classic FC game, and we highly recommend downloading it.
Far Cry 2: Modernized is essentially a game overhaul; prioritizing graphical fidelity, realism, and consistency. Far Cry 2 Modernized brings bug fixes, extra content, a custom HDR and sharpness-based ReShade, upscaled and improved textures.
As said, this mod uses Far Cry 2 Redux as a base. Therefore, all the improvements that this mod features are already included. The modder has also managed to further increase shadows, LOD, terrain, and render distance.
Moreover, this mod includes some other FC2 mods too. For instance, it includes the AI upscaled textures from Boggalog’s ‘Enhanced Texture Pack‘ mod, his ‘Actual Syrette Icon‘ mod, and the colorful weapon icons from his ‘Detailed and Colourful Weapon Icons‘ mod. Additionally, it includes Daniel Pistelli’s old 4GB executable patcher. This allows ‘FarCry2.exe’ to use 4GB of memory instead of only 2GB (because it’s a 32-bit executable).
You can download the mod from here. Below you can also find some screenshots from it.
Have fun!

Does it fix the outposts?
If you fix the outposts, you create another problem, the game becomes boring without any soldiers to trade shoots at after you clear the outposts…
it cant, the issue you talking about is how the game engine works, it doesnt save any interactions in the map apart from picking up diamond caches. So all those areas are set to unload from memory when you leave them and load all assets when you get there, this is how assasin creed worked as well.
You mean the Enemy re-spawning issue at each checkpoint/outpost (or some other issue) ? Don’t think so, but if they can fix this issue, then it would make the game more addictive.
Sometimes the re-spawning of enemies can get pretty annoying, if we pass through the same area/location in the map.
Looks good, haven’t played through this since the x360 version. Tried Redux and just couldn’t get into it again.
Shame this will never get a proper remake given the drastically slower gameplay that wouldn’t appeal to the modern Far Cry audience. Maybe that’s for the best given its under Ubisoft.
Far Cry 2 and what could have been for the series if the player base where not ADD ridden.
Looks great… sadly the gameplay hasn’t aged well.
It’s the same as any fps minus the loot boxes and such.
Its kinda clunky compared to modern games. Not just slower paced, but unintuitive. At least that’s what I remember from when I tried the redux mod last year. The ADS stood out as feeling dated.
What’s ADS?
Aim down sights. Its been awhile though so I could be wrong.
Huh… Not bad!
Far Cry 1 is also a pretty good FPS. After FC2 the whole franchise went downhill. The same can be said for other franchises as well, like Wolfenstein, Doom, AC, and many other.
i like fc4 more than 3 but other than that yes fc1 and 2 are the best.
Yeah, even I liked and enjoyed playing FC4 more than FC3.
Me too. My personal favorite.
of course you do, that’s because you’re a pinoy.
no
you’re either indian or cambodian or some shet like that. I can sniff it.
nope
I’d say the Heart of Darkness inspired story of FC2 was better than FC1’s, but FC1 was much was revolutionary and creative at the time.
AC Unity was fine.
Hello JPG compression xD What a way to show off a HD mod lol
Reshade was never good just like ENB.
