If you really wish to understand what Far Cry 2 is about then you probably want to read the novels. They couldn't make some random people betray you, only the ones who you 'trusted'.

If you get the point, what the writers of the game wanted to make with the final mission, then you can see that really there are no alternatives. This actually is valuable knowledge in real life. So you would understand how your best buds can betray you for the right rewards. The writers probably wanted you to feel the TIA effect. Thirdly, why have they come back from the dead just to screw me over? You were literally on your own, and it was up to you to figure things out. It was unapologetic in how it handled everything from mission objectives to the menu system. This is one notoriously brutal game, from start to finish. The plot problems, referring to the final mission, has been mentioned in most of the Far Cry 2 reviews. Far Cry 2 bears the distinction of being one of the most challenging games in the entire series. I agree with you that this part was extremely weird. Secondly, how come all my buddies from Act 1 have come back from the dead?

'This is Africa', - meaning go with the flow/don't expect anything to run on schedule/enjoy life.

Meaning that they will betray anybody for the right amount of money. Firstly, why do all my buddies suddenly betray me?
