Thread: Far Cry 2 makes me mad

My graphics card is an Nvidia - it could definitely be upgraded. Oddly enough now its loading fast, so I don't know o_0.

But you made me not really want to play through or give it any effort, although I must admit for the few hours I've played I've only done a few missions and the rest of the time I goof around

What I do not understand is how to clear enemy checkpoints. I've killed everyone at a ton of them, but only 3 of them are officially cleared. And it seems so random when the game decides I cleared it.

Clearing a checkpoint, weirdly enough, means not necessarily to kill everyone there, but to discover the main ammo/health/explosive pickup in that location. So it's not even really cleared, because everyone will re-spawn in 3 minutes.

The game could have been quite a great game and I still had my fair share of fun, I played for about 40 hours or so and that's also why I know it's downfalls so well.

Ah okay that makes sense. Checkpoints are annoying though, because when I am given a missions I have to offroad to avoid checkpoints. If I go the main roads I will, a) run into an enemy vehicle patrolling or b) run into a checkpoint and use ammo and such that I need for the missions.

I can understand going back to my gun cache thingy to get a new PKM and such but its so far away half the time from where I am, so I end up using enemy weapons until they jam constantly and or blow up.

Have you figured out how to fast travel using the bus stations? Makes getting to a weapons dealer easier. And use jeeps to travel with a mounted gun. Quickly press "C" while driving to mount the gunner's seat. Saves some ammo. You could also just race right through those checkpoints, enemies might give chase in a vehicle, so again, mount the gunner's seat, take out the other vehicle and then keep going if you don't want to lose time and ammo.

I went to a bus station and was hoping I could drive one of those buses but no I didn't know I could ride the bus to get places?

At the bus stations there should be 4 individual maps on wooden boards. They will show you the locations that you can fast travel to. There is no actual bus ride though, you hear the sound of a bus and bam, loading.

Hmm okay I'll have to try that

So far the most fun thing in the game is roundin up Zebras with a 4 wheeler... And then... thump!

lol - Far Cry 2 - Animal Genocide - YouTube

Omg that video was hilarious

Okay so I'm 6 or so hours in and maybe the game isn't ALL bad. I got a flamethrower, and its quite fun, regardless of other issues the game has

I've found something fun to do is do missions to get diamonds, then just buy new guns

I really want the mortar though.
