I returned to the FC2 again after a couple of years during this summer. Now I’m replaying it with some mods (Dylan’s FC2 mod, sproyd’s FC2 SweetFX) that finally manage to bring it closer to what I guess it really should have been…
IMO this game had the very best potential among any other in the series as far as its setting and concept goes (the only exception might become the new Primeval, high hopes for that one!) and sadly went somewhat unrealized and half-baked, which made it a pain to play… but it’s great and worth coming back to anyway.
Today there seem to be several gameplay mods available that tweak the gameplay extensively in various, but mostly pretty good ways and make it considerably more engaging and fun. If you love FC2, definitely check some of them out!
