Far Cry 2: Frustration Simulator?
Duckmeister:
Rookie, this game is awesome, you just can't handle it. Seriously. I, one who can barely get through games on Easy, had no problem with this game.
Faction buildings are accessed by walking up to the guy at the door and pressing "use", he'll pat you down and take away your guns so you can walk in.
There's a diamond indicator on your car's GPS, too, that's the main way I found diamonds, by driving to the mission and seeing it start blinking. The best way to find the diamonds is to turn around very slowly, in a full circle, and when the light stops blinking and is permanently lit, that's the exact direction the diamond case is in. Don't try playing "warmer, colder", it doesn't work.
Don't worry about the effing arms dealer, he's only there so you can do missions for him. Use the computer to buy the guns. Look at a wiki to find out what things do, sometimes the titles are ambiguous and you'll waste your money. Best thing to do is save before you buy, and then if you don't like it, reload. I used a unlock all weapons cheat because I think it's ridiculous to have to get the diamonds and THEN unlock the guns.

I hated FC2. Enemy vehicles have rubber band drivers, the sounds are broken (enter tiny shack - totally deaf to outside world), and half the game is spent driving from point A to point B in totally bland vehicles.
The one good thing about FC2 is that the enemy combat AI seems more lifelike, with them screaming in fear if they can't find you and stuff.
