well.... on my short sabbatical from GT4, I’ve been playing Farcry and well what can i say......awesome. Being a massive CS & HL fan for years and having grown up playing the doom series... i gotta say that for an FPS, this has blown me away.

I gotta admit that well having finished all the dooms (including 3) as well as HL & HL2 on difficult settings(and countless other FPS like MOH etc).... well i'm kinda struggling pretty badly even on medium setting for Farcry. Buts its so addictive.

The grafix simply put HL2 and Doom3 to shame, and the rambo/james bond (tropical island jungle) atmosphere is brilliant.

My main problem is being a CS player at hart, that i storm into base camps with grenades and a MP-4, but i'm sure that a bit of finesse would get me further....

is anyone else playing this...... and what are your thoughts......& well tactics.

I loved playing FarCry. It had me stopping and just gawking at the amazing realism of the outdoor levels. Yes the AI is super tuff eh ?

Tip: Use the binoculars - lots, I mean all the time. They'll show enemies on your radar from a loong distance. Target the baddies with your binoculars on full zoom, keyboard switch to the M4 (don't move the mouse !), fire a short burst, back to the binoculars & repeat. You can take out enemies this way from beyond the M4's effective range & they have no idea of your location

I can't wait for more CryEngine games, I also reckon it's light years beyond other PC game engines.

Have fun !

far cry is all about being stealthy and silent. If they cant see you but more especially if they cant hear you, your all good.

Have you ever used that gun with the silencer ?

I have taken out entire groups of guys without them even firing a shot at me cos they never knew where i was.

finished that game....aggges ago on pc.....

my tactic wen vsing crowe as he is in the helicopter is after the bomb detonates....jump off the boat, swim to the shore, there will be a palm tree....just stay behind it and shoot at the helicopter from there...i dont know if its a glitch or not, but it sure made it easier on me...cos the boat was sinking, could never defeat the helicopter like that

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
