Hey guys. Someone posted a HUGE (7941 x 10497) version of the cover art that is chock full of details. Here's the link: aww.moe/8elgm9.jpgSome things that are a bit clearer in the background - 1) A radio or cell tower. Though not the kind that seems like you would climb... 2) A water tower with something other than Hope County on (Falls - something). Likely the county is made up of several different townships we must clear out. 3) That does indeed look like the kind of Cessna that Willis flies (being chased by a P40 or some other WWII fighter prop driven plane no less!?!) BUT the plane in the foreground has pontoons, some kind of machine guns AND BOMBS!? WTF? Does this mean another return of Willis? We know he is a super patriot. 4) The road in the background is being blocked by a pile of cars and semi trucks driven across it. Looks like these doomsday cultists aren't fond of visitors. Nobody gets in or out? 5) Besides the assault rifles, pistols and RPGs seen strewn about - that bow has a very weird attachment on it. Of course Far Cry is no stranger to explosive and fire arrows.

I wonder if there's going to be an aerial "driving" component to this Far Cry?
What's on the poster truly gets into the realm of Ubisoft "over-the-top" story ideas. That's a "looks-like" P-51 that's been re-militarized ... give me a break for crying out loud!

Thx JRavens, the pistol is not a 1911, is a sort of Beretta and S&W fusion.

I can see filter of color will be blue and yellow (3 was blue and green, BD was blue and purple, 4 was purple and orange, primal orange and yellow)

If you zoom out and look at the picture overall it becomes apparent that the flag is not an American Flag (well the flag on the table*) and the cross is not a cross. These guys clearly have their own "sovereign nation" thing going on. *dollars to donuts they swap the flag in the background from an American Flag to this cult flag... maybe not but the press is already having a field day with this. If they were looking for controversy to get attention to the game they certainly are getting it

More musings -
Guy in the center and guy to his left look like brothers. In fact all 3 pairs of the men (left, right and center) look like they might be brothers.
Guy to the center left has the whole "right hand man / enforcer" vibe. Someone said all the tats on his hands are the seven deadly sins. Also on his chest is a partial visible tattoo that says Bros & Sis and something death with crossed muskets or muskets and saber? Very civil war looking and has tick marks (kill marks?) that tally 7.
"Sinner" (presumably the protagonist) has some unusual tattoos on his arms and wrists. The one on his left arm in script says something Ghost. I almost thought it said Force Ghost, but it's not. I can't make out what the top word is.
EDIT - actually I take it back Far Cry 3 and 4 do NOT feature the protagonist, but instead victims from the local populace so "sinner" is unlikely to be us.
A pair of hands to the far right are reaching onto the shot. Wonder if the original art is wider ala the actual Last Supper?

I think it says Forever Ghost Good catch Jimbo! I think you are right. After you wrote that now I can see another e in the shadow of his arm and the ending r must be wrapped around where we can't see it. Interesting. Anybody got any thoughts on the bizarre stingray/broken heart/spin coming on out/whatever the hell it is tattoo on his other arm? And there's a wolf of eskimo or something on his wrist obscured by the ropes. Freaking weird stuff
