OT: Far Cry (Game)

When I am able to play it, it reminds me very much of Half-life. One part especially scared me, when you find the lead scientist dead and then the mutated ape thing jumps out at you. Very scary indeed.

The really scary part about it is that the game autosaved right there, about 2 milaseconds before that thing jumps in on you and kills you.

I had to replace the who level because of that. And I tell you if this game has any draw backs the Auto Save system, or lack of quck save is one, and the fact that the AI seems to always spot me no matter the fact that they shouldn't be able too.

Still the game is great fun and I am enjoying it far more that I should.

(I spent the better part of six hours taking my time taking out the four jaming towers. Ohhhhhh how I enjoyed sniping those SOB's.

More ammo please....

My grenades just dissapear. I mean, I throw them, they fly, they land, they stop, they wait a couple seconds, they dissapear.

Your throwing rocks Narf.

Press the H key to cycle through the garnades you have. On the health, ammo, armo thingly to the very right you will notice it changing.

I have had many accidents with this and you will never forget the first time you blind yourself with a flash bang garnade or throw a rock instead of a shrapnel garnade.

Go for the Head shot if at all possible. Sometimes you get full armor from the bad dudes you kill.

Well. At least it wasn't names.

The only thing I wish this game had was a silencer for my pistol. the fact that you only get a silenced rifle later in the game sucks. I would have liked to find a sliencer in the first few shacks I searched.

Other than that it's a great game. I had a bLast going through it. Sadly it's replay value is not very good. So it makes the value a bit high when you consider the number of hours involved in completing the game.

nuf said, Cheers!

Have you played with the Cry Engine yet? I have read that it is actually very good.

I tried the game on line and found only about 30 servers, and I kept dying for mysterious reasone or was kicked by PunkBuster for cheating. Well I guess PB is broken.
