From joystiq.com:

We didn’t know anyone wandered into Far Cry 2’s expansive, hojillion-hour-long single-player campaign and somehow managed to make time to check out the game’s multiplayer offerings, but apparently there’s a sizable community of online FC2 players out there. This group has been calling for more realistic match settings for quite some time — players can apparently catch more lead than Sonny Corleone and walk away with little more than a scratch and an interesting story.

Their pleas have been answered — in a recent post on the FC2 community blog, the game’s developers [Ubisoft Montreal] announced a patch which will, in addition to rebalancing the weapons in all multiplayer modes, add a more realistic “hardcore setting” to all match types. This mode will boost the damage for all weapons (ensuring speedier demises) and will let players tweak the “spawn times” (but not the “spawn rates”, whatever that means).
