Excerpts from Videogamer article:

Now malfunctions are only likely if you've been alive for quite some time, so dodgy hardware will only be a major consideration for the best players.

Indeed, you'll soon discover that death is easy to find in a Far Cry 2 deathmatch. Two or three rounds will be enough to put you on the ground - combat is certainly closer to the deadly firefights of COD4 or Counterstrike than it is to the Halo series, where a brief retreat will give you enough time to recharge your shield.

All the same, you'll want to give it a go because a) you'll feel like a champion if you pull it off and b) saving a friend means their kill isn't counted on the other side's score.

Interesting excerpts from lazy gamer review:

A bus service also becomes available and allows you to quick travel to certain locations.

Due to the fact that consoles have limited memory compared to that of a PC, the developers came up with a very clever scoring system for objects and the amount of memory that they use. In the top left corner there is a bar showing the total amount of memory available for the map. Each object uses a certain amount of memory and is given a score accordingly. This is the only limitation to the editor but from what I have seen from the creations made so far, there is plenty of memory going around. A performance bar is also available, turning red to warn you that something is too complex to run at a decent framerate.
