awesome game, now all we need is for halo 3 to have a farcry map editor

I can't get into the game. Original i bought it for it's map editor, i may give it a shot sometime. Right not i just feel it's pointless in creating maps for a mp game, when Halo still is a superior mp game.

The campaign don't apeal to me, to be honest i liked the old one better.

have not played the campaign but iv enjoyed all of them thus far, the crisis engine that they use for far cry and its map maker is sweet, i wish h3 was like h2 vista. But we can only dream, and use forge in absurd ways to make it do our bidding

The campaign is really cool and a lot better the Far Cry: Instincts Predator.

As for the game engine it isn't the same as Cryrsis

Far Cry 2 uses the Dunia Engine

yea pretty much. lol

So far the only thing I don't like in this game is you have to save at safe houses

but it isn't that big of a problem.

I ACCIDENTALLY THE WHOLE FARCRY.

I am playing as a ghost in FarCry 2.

I was in the water, swimming and dodging bullets. I left the water, and got shoft as I left the water. I'm dead, but still in control. I have no health, and I just swim along the land. Yes, I swim.

I cannot shoot, get my map out, enter vehicles or interact with anything. I just keep swimming. Bad guys don't shoot me, they tell me to "watch it" if I bump into them.

I'm so confused.

I am the ghost of FarCry.

I wasn't impressed with it. It got boring after about 2 hours. Making maps is fun and all but that's not the reason I play a game.

Just unlocked the Southern Territory in campaign.
I also finished making my 1st map...I think.

This game is awesome so far.

I was on an assassination mission and the person I was suppose to kill was near the airport. So I thought I could just simply snipe the guy and be done with that mission but, once I got into a good position (a couple hundred feet away) I heard\felt someone shooting at me so I looked around for a bit and saw that the target (the guy I was suppose to kill) was shooting at me but everyone else was just walking like nothing was happening.

It took me a while... but I think I finally got the hang of the stealth system

I can say this cause when I figured it out... I tested my theory in broad daylight. Wow...I am ninja. I came in...I assassinated with my silenced pistol... Then I left no guard the wiser. (It was beyond words...I kinda wish a recorded it so I could show you all. It was quite cool.)

I'm pretty sure... no... I Know there has been alot of trouble with this system so I think I shall post my "findings" here

The absolute main thing is to not have a guard scream. I also listen to the music as my "Splinter cell" cue to give me an Idea of the situation. When you shoot your gun the music will play its usual beat. Usually if you did alright it will fade away quickly...awaiting your next move. The next thing to keep in mind is to shoot them when they are not looking in your direction. If you shoot someone and a Guard sees someone fall they trace the general direction. Camouflage suit seems to only work in tall grass and "In" bushes and only when crouched and stationary. After all if I thought I saw some shrubbery move instead of just sway I would probably start shooting too.

All this means nothing, of course, unless you use a silent weapon ( Dart gun , Silenced Makarov 6P9 Pistol , and Silent MP-5 (, and Silenced Shotgun for those who have the Fortune's Pack DLC))

The A550 ( .50 Caliber Sniper rifle) is not silenced hence no silencer at the Business end... and the loud sound it makes. Blah.

Hopefully this will help those of you here at Halomods... and the individuals who found this post VIA Google. Hi. I think that's all next to "Dark improves your ability to be stealthy". So yea...there ya are.

I just got this game for the PC. Mainly for modding/skins/ect.

I can run everything maxed, including anti-aliasing, at 1280x1024 getting around 70fps.

The game is fun so far, but I kind of liked the original Far Cry better.
the character never talks in this game.
Also why do all new games have to have that stupid washed out look, or that crappy gold filter =[

I'm looking forward to skinning/modding it to bring back the brighter more colorful surreal look of the original Far Cry.

It's Africa... a desert. It's not going to be a tropical, colourful paradise.

I didn't even know it was possible to mod it?!

I completed it yesterday. Bit disappointed how you can't carry on roaming with your character after completion. =/

And Insane... a silenced shotgun? Whaaaaa?

I know it's Africa, but still it's way to washed out.

There were a ton of good mods for Crysis and Far Cry 1 =]
That's why I'm hoping for some good mods for this one. Like a better night mod. The night time look was too bright in this game. When I roam around the jungle at night, I want it to be dark, like need a flashlight dark.

Also I haven't finished the game yet, that sucks that you can't roam around at the end =[

Geo · Post by **Geo** » Sun Dec 21, 2008 3:35 am

It must be your set up, the game looks very vivid and colourful on my TV, during the day at least. About the night time, you don't have a flashlight, so making it that dark would make it near impossible to play. Adjust the brightness in the options to make it darker if you like

I might be getting this for Christmas, but I'd rather have Half-Life 2 for the PC (Gmod looks awesome).
