Sandbox Shooter

I'm looking for a decent sandbox first person shooter.  Anyone have an idea of what I should get?
I'm tempted to just put my sig as "God dammit Gculk!", and just point an arrow down after every post you make.

Far Cry 2 should be out at the end of the month, and it's almost pure sandbox. PCG were rather impressed with it - http://www.farcry2world.com/farcry-2-news_186_Exclusive-PCGamer-Article.html

This, if you have a ps2 or Xbox.
I'm so fat and disgusting, even my teachers laugh when I waddle into class.

I want to end my pathetic, sedentary life with a shard of glass.

What's the difference between this and the second?

Boiling Point. Buggier than a harbor-whore's pubes, but pretty decent at times.

I'm with Worbah here, especially being that I believe we're the only people in the world to play the game and like it.
Nice FPS in South America, with factions like Government, Rebels, Mafia, Indians etc with massive quest trees building your way up their chain but in a much more complex way than "I DUNT TRUST U NEWBE, WAIT, NOW I LIKE YOU!"
I remember the mission where you have to gain the Governments trust to steal the plans from the base for the rebels, but the Government wanted me to wipe out a Indian camp nearby, who I liked and had recently hunted down a man eating panther in the jungle for so I wasn't going to do that.
I entered the base fine, they weren't so bothered unless I tried to go near a restricted area, which I promptly burst into, stabbing the guard, grabbing the plans and shooting my way out. Driving like the wind they were unleashing a hail of bullets at me and burst all my tires and I swerved into a tree, stumbling out the car I ran into the forest, I saw the headlights of Humvees zoom past and voices shouting getting nearer so I legged it all the way back to the Rebel base on ******** foot, took me forever.
But boy, what a memory.
Love forever, love is free.

They're making a sequel that's supposed to be released this fall.

SMOD: Tactical, sort of like Operation Flashpoint or Red Orchestra in Source.  You can download weapon models (Usually from FPS Banana under CSS models) and put them in.  Comes with a "MapAdd" program that'll add enemies and other NPCs to a map, can set them to either respawn after being killed or stay dead.

Oh, you do need HL2 and Counter Strike:Source to play it.

It was the bugs that made Boiling Point. Nothing better than seeing a panther flying around the jungle, or getting into a car and suddenly accelerating to somewhere just below the speed of light.

 NPC combats were my favourite though. Some of the bugs that hit them were hilarious (such as seeing two guys shooting at each other suddenly put the guns away and stroll on like nothing happened).

The patches pretty much fixed most of the major ones though, best bugfix ever has to be "shooting the police station with a crossbow no longer causes it to explode."

Seriously!? That's hilarious.
