Yes, 2 GB limit if not using BLOB offloading for SharePoint 2010. This is a SQL limitation, not SharePoint. What the gentleman posted above will not apply to an on premises SharePoint 2010 farm. Please reference: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262787(v=office.14).aspx#ListLibrary
It is also a SharePoint limit. So in answer to the question, there is "still" a file size limit of 2GB per file, if you are running SP 2013 or below.
SharePoint 2016 and SharePoint Online now supports 10GB file sizes. This is due to SharePoint now using BITS rather than Cobalt Protocol (FSS HTTP) which was limited to 2GB. Ref: https://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Ignite/2015/BRK2188

It is a Sharepoint limit because it is a SQL limitation. This is why offloading BLOBs can get around it as you take SQL limitation away.
