_http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/6/ubb.x?a=tpc&s=400102&f=452106891&m=540100183
Below is some infromation about the next Far Cry patch, which you all have been very patiently waiting for.
Before I list the changes, I wanted to include a few caveats. For one, please keep in mind that the following list of changes is subject to change. This is not necessarily the final list -- some new fixes may end up being included, and some changes listed may not end up in the patch. However, since I believe you all would prefer *some* information to *none*, I am posting this tentative list. The second caveat is that the release date is not final. The patch is going into testing now, and if all goes well, it will be released soon. As soon as I get more infromation, I'll be sure to post it.
That said, here is the list of changes in Patch v1.2!
Patch 2 (v1.2) change log
Gameplay changes
Made the run speed about 15% faster

Made sprint last 30% longer

Adjusted damage to vehicles

Vehicles now survive longer in multiplayer and behave consistently between weapon damage types

Bullet damage can be disabled by "g_vehicleBulletDamage" cvar: 0 = no bullet damage (default), 1 = bullet damage; this works only in MP.

MP vehicles can get the same damage from every kind of bullet (no distinction between sniper rifle and the deagle), this value is set by 'dmgBulletMP' variable inside 'DamageParams' table of the vehicle.

Buggy, humvee and gunboat can be destroyed with one rocket.

Bigtruck can be destroyed with three rockets.

Buggy and gunboat can be destroyed with 100 bullets (if g_vehicleBulletDamage = 1)

Humvee can be destroyed with 150 bullets (if g_vehicleBulletDamage = 1)

Bigtruck can be destroyed with 500 bullets (if g_vehicleBulletDamage = 1)
