“Far Cry 2’s success is a combination of a devoted following of viewers and a high-quality franchise that delivered engaging gameplay, breathtaking graphics, and vast open-world environments that made for compelling videos, hooking viewers into the world of Far Cry 2,” said Tony Key, senior vice president of sales and marketing, for Ubisoft.”Ubisoft and the Far Cry 2 development team are thrilled to be honored with GameTrailers.com‘s coveted Diamond Award. 10 million video views is a major achievement – we couldn’t have reached this amazing goal without the continual support of the viewers and fans who have made Far Cry 2 not only a big hit, but a video game sensation.”
