There are features in Far Cry 2 like the wind-based fire-spreading tech that still is nowhere to be seen in any other game to date.
The industry really did top off by 2010, tech-wise it was mostly downhill from there (though I will say that I wish someone would steal and adopt Assassin's Creed 3's procedural blending tech for combat into another game, there still isn't another game that has that feature and it's angering Ubisoft is sitting on so much cool tech that is being used for nothing).
They used to make fun games until it got corporatized to death. People still speak fondly of FarCry 1 and 2.
They peaked with Black Flag. It's been diminishing returns ever since
