Lovely game. The driving isnt boring.

Tip : go offroad

Missions wise, yeah its boring in some ways and what pissed me off is the outpost the needed to be cleared out each time i passby. Sometimes i ended up doing a hit and run, throw a few grenade on some explosive spots like vehicles or barrels or gas tanks and drive off

The AI is rather natural and funny. If you purchased a camo suit and hide in a high bush, a patrol stood in front of you and say "i think i see something"..pause... "look around, stay on high grounds" ..pause... "i think i missed him".. happened to me a couple of times.

Another scene is when you throw a nade to them, the militia will just shout "watch out! Grenade!" and instead of running far, he crouch a few feet away from the nade for "hiding"

Hahaha! Yeah, i do face the same problem but only at the undertaker undergound hideout. Took me 5 mins plus to "lure" him out from his hiding spot.

Anyway, more funny moments to share. Those jeep patrol is another fun thing to kill. Last night in my gameplay, i roll into one of them so i jump off my precious Jeep Wrangler to avoid it being shot and i hide behind this big tree and maneuver according to the charging jeep patrol.

The gunner got off the jeep flanking from the right so i killed him and left the driver. He was reversing and ramming onto the tree until the jeep explodes I laugh non-stop while looking how stupid he is.

Another jeep related joke, I was scouting this new outpost and accidentally shot my sniper rifle. So the militias go scattering around to find and while some jump into the jeep. Thanks to the driver of the jeep, he reversed, killed 2 mate hiding behind the jeep while killing another one who was looking for cover while accelerating. Only left is him, the jeep gunner and a sniper uphill

But my theory goes here, i realized that some militias have certain attitude. Those with vest die trying while those half naked with bandolier seem to be abit timid and love to hide till the all clear confirmation by their mate. If you listen to their conversation during on alert the best speech for me is this :

"its only one, i can do it, i can do it. Go out and kill that mf, GO GO GO"

Tried MP for Far Cry 2 earlier yesterday. It is not worth the gameplay. Only mode that is catchy is Capture the Diamond. IMO, the SP is more engaging than the MP itself.

Far Cry 2 vs. Fallout 3, well from my view, Far Cry 2 suits those who love exploring while doing recon work against environment while Fallout 3 couldnt content most of the Fallout fans, it lacks some "ommpph". Though its humor is just as good as its previous release.

Far Cry 2 leans more towards the cinematic quality instead of engaging gameplay where the environment "interacts" with the player. Conclusion, Far Cry 2 is only worth on the story mode. If you have seizure or dizziness, do not PLAY THIS GAME. My gf got dizzy, puke, faint after just looking at me driving at the desert for a few seconds.

Dude, you want me to take pictures during such situation? Frankly no offense taken from the reply above yours and yours as well but my gf and her family have history of not able to go on extreme rides, looking at shaky videos.

Not to spice things up as i didnt know she was looking at me playing until she kept patting my shoulder. Advice is if you cannot believe what i say, dont believe, assume that my statement is exaggerated and move along.

Oh do try to google far cry 2, motion blur, motion sickness. There is quite a few of complains about it as well due to its FOV problem in-game

Hehe, am not serious but just to clarify some stuff

True, Got into Act 2 now and slowed down my progress. Switched my weapon config to maximum explosive.

Grenade Launcher / Draganov SVD / Rocket Launcher .. primary targets will be explosives stuffs like vehicles, red / yellow barrels, ammo / flammable caches.
Molotov is fun too

What OS are you using? Vista 32-bit have no problem running but Vista 64-bit have issues, same goes to Windows XP 64-bit. Set the compatibility mode to Windows XP should fix the problem

linkinstreet, ever encounter medics that carry their injured comrade? Its more fun doing sniping on them

Tone down the physics, fire and real time tree to low and try again. These 3 option usually bog down the FPS and cause shuttering.

You have to unlock more Underground hideout for the pills. It will be shown on your journal log when there is an underground trade for travel papers for pills mission.

Only way is to use the NO-DVD crack. I am currently having one applied to prevent unwanted damage to the DVD

Seeing that you have pass through that stage, no matter which side you help, the church or your buddies, they will ended up dead. Miss them lots

Download the FOV hack. It fixed the vertical view. Warning, do not use that in Multiplaying as PB detects it and permban accordingly.
