Farcry..."what the firefox" is up with the lighting?

[steve threlfall]

lol i always saw the rocket lauchers on the boat and jeep but never thought that you could use them... guessing if you just hit your change fire type button (default x?) it swaps?

you can use most yes

and the elusive alternate fire button x is used to change

i'm going to genetically enhance myself to grow another hand so I can use all these flipping keys at once...i looked on the menu where some keys are and they're all the way over the other side of the keyboard!!

[turkster]

You can change the keyboard controls you know .

[shiato storm]

yes. i am aware of that

[steve threlfall]

I find the main control issues to be cycling grenade types and actually chucking them in the midst of a firefight.

[Dooms]

lol havnt used any grenades yet- just forget about them majourity of the time.

[shiato storm]

yeah, i always find I lob a rock, rush in, realise - too late - and get nobbled cause everyone is still alive-alive-o...!
or I blind myself and get a good shooting...

[Tumble]

IL2 is good practice for multiple key presses whilst fighting for life... I have found tho that Farcry royally screws my surround sound up on exiting have to restart...

[shiato storm]

yes it does have its quirks...if you're going to play it thats all you are going to do with your computer during that session.

[steve threlfall]

I have the same quirks and surround sound issue guys stability is a problem though at least with farcry its when your out of the game unlike hl2. I have honestly never experienced so many bs problems with a game that im having with hl2. It wouldnt be so bad but my first install of it worked flawlessly (when it was released) what a joke

Ah well farcry is great

[shiato storm]

anyone noticed the similarity between Farcry and the novel 'The Island of Dr Moreau' by H G Wells? the book is about a guy who gets stranded at sea and then ends up on an island where crazy experiments are taking place thanks to an 'inventive' Dr Moreau and as a consequence strange animals are running free ... anyone read it?

[Dooms]

no but im temped now

[turkster]

Wasnt there also a film made based on that?

[shiato storm]

read books. they are good for you.

[turkster]

read books. they are good for you.

What makes you think I dont read books . In fact Ive been reading lots of early science fiction recently, stuff by Edgar Rice Burroughs and HG Wells etc . (a lot of these can be got as free ebooks from places such as manybooks.net)

[shiato storm]

hmm...
