It's turning out to be a total conversion mod meaning new levels, new story, new weapons, and new everything.

It will then open up a report for you indicating if your computer can play Far Cry 2. I accidentally tried this on my laptop, and I thought I would definitely receive an epic fail from the report (Which I did). Surprisingly I received a pass in every area except for the graphic card where my tablet Dell Latitude XI did not have 3.0 shaders.
