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

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
