Far Cry Lesson Learned today :-)

[steve threlfall]

Zak, hows the farcry going?

[Zak33]

slowly mate..slowly

Been busy at work then knackered at night...and IL2 is taking my life which is good..shall play Far Cry on my next day off dude...about..err....October

[r1zeek]

Yeah, those first few levels can be quite hard, especially the deck of the carrier.
I'm stuck on the part just after you destroy the regualtor, those troops who drop in from the Osprey, I'm playing it on Challenging and Balance AI, and i'm thinking it aint balancing because I keep getting owned!

[Stewart]

Those elite geezers with top weapons, armour, shields and gasmasks? That bit took me about 15 re-tries to get through.

I had to lie down, and sneak forward a millimeter at a time, taking them out one by one. Then run for cover, and get lucky.

Well 'ard that bit.

[turkster]

Yeah just finished that level and tht bit just after you kill the computer is lethal. I think 15 tries would be about correct for how llong it took me to get through it all. I decided in the end that the best way to do it was to stay calm, throw a few flahbang grenades out the door of the computer room and get everyone with headshots. The damn elite guys keep moving around though

I found the next level very scary with b***dy trigens jumping at you from nowhere in all those dark passage ways. I kept jumping out of my skin playing it late at night in a dark room with the earphones turned up loud.

Zak - have you made it to the Tree House level yet?
My first meeting with trigens - and I just wish the lights would stay on instead of flickering.......
This game is turning me into a girlie !!

I'm abt 1/2 way thro the tree top labs level on Veteran & the muscles on the back of my neck/shoulders are so sore from the tension. Trigens make it well intense fantastic game, not been this obsessed by a game since HL.

Roll on HL2/Doom3/Unreal3

Wait untill you meet the mutated trigens . They are lethal.

Yeah I get pains in the back of the neck/shoulders while playing it too.

Howard you have it on easy right

one hand behind the back...

Im playing it for the second time now, on rebellion . To be fair i wouldnt dare play it on anything but easy

[paradidle]

heheh, u think these levels r hard.......*spoiler*

U will soon find urself on a level with just 1 gun with 10 bullets, on a island full of trigens. No joke.

Just whats going to happen!?

[Applecrusher]

ARRRRGGGGHHH!!

I just saw a HUGE tridgen with a rocket launcher!!!

IT TOOK ABOUT 20 SECONDS WITH THE CHAINGUN TO KILL HIM!!1

/me cowers into a hole... never to play farcry again...

[turkster]

OMG those big mutated trigens are s**t scary and hard to kill.

Just spent the last hour jumping out of my skin and getting killed by just a few well aimed shots from some b*****d that jumps out at you

This game just seems to be getting harder.

[steve threlfall]

The big mutated trigens called fatboys by the marines are easy to kill. Run right up to them and let them have it in the face with a shotgun- about five shells will silence them. Dont bother with anything explosive because they are not affected- headshots with shotgun or and assult rifle are the name of the game here.

Catacombs is one of my favourite levels, i found it very easy. Its not a problem as long as you have the weapons you should have picked up from the elites at the start.

After killing the computer and theres an osprey and a load of elite guys to be killed, just before the crwaling in the vent...

I shot down the osprey with a rocket launcher and still struggled at that section- talk about tension

It gets easier as you learn how to play the game- there stuff i just didnt do right the first time that i do now without thinking.

The problem with your idea is that he usually has his little tridgen buddies around him... you cant get to him...

What weapons are they. I find it is slightly limiting only being able to keep 4 weapons although more realistic of course. At the mo I have the P90 SMG, M4 Assualt rifle, Sniper Rifle and the rocket launcher. I have tried the jackhammer shotgun but I didnt know what to drop in its place
