I really liked FC2. My biggest problem was the respawning constantly. The stty weapons and the fires were great.
Weapons are fine - quite enjoy them.
Fires - also not bad.

BUT, the map is s**t. The "can they see me" or not is s**t. The lack of spotting is s**t. The graphics are s**t. The fact that a jeep can come over a hill shooting at you in a nano-second before they even ID if you are friend or foe is s**t, the vehicle gets damaged before you can even change seats.
Furry muff. I guess I had my rose coloured memory glasses on. I do recall being pissed off when I heard the same engine rev noise.

How do you get to the bloody chopper??????

banghead
Struggling with this one myself, very frustrating, my plan which seems to be working if I stop rushing and getting seen is:

Take down the 3 guys outside the waterfall, go to the cliff ledge and spot all the enemies, sneak down to the nearest one on the left and either take down from below or climb up when he's not looking and knife him.

Grab his sniper rifle, use the ammo crate to reload, then take out all the guard posts and shoot the alarm box, then move forward and mop up the rest, keep getting seen when I get near the chopper though and all hell breaks loose! frown

That's basically what I've been doing. I can get to the RPG guy and on occasion, as far as the mounted machine gun bloke on the far side of the river. But, I can't wipe out the rest of them before getting mullered.

It's doing my head in!!!!

You can do it all by stealth and knife attacks.

One thing that is mega frustrating though is there are no checkpoints for the entire mission; I stealthed it all the way to the point where I only had to take down the final heavy, and accidentally walked too near the tail rotor of the chopper and got sliced and diced, and had to do the entire thing all over again. Annoying.

Add me on Uplay and come do some co-op if you wish. Rebuildax.
As to the chopper issue above, The heavies go down pretty quick with fire arrows, normally a single shot and they burn really well evil
If you can get a bow before that level try it, extra xp for stealth kills too.
I did mine by taking out all those in the main compound with normal arrows then moving down the left wall until you reach the water where the jetski is, cross the water and use crouch to get as close as possible. each time one comes in sight, take him out. It takes time and patience with a bow and arrow, you will have to go back to the hut with the ammo on top at least once for a refill but you can get under that hut and take a few out from there. throwing stones is also good. Then you can shoot them in the back.
Planting C4 by the red drums causes massive distractions when you blow them and will bring some of the guys from the top compound down to the lower level, just pick em off.

That's a different chopper scenario. But thanks anyway.

I think you are talking about taking the airport.

We're all talking about the bit where Vaas has kicked you into the water with a concrete block tied round your feet, and you emerge with no weapons and have to make your way to the chopper, using whatever weapons you can pick up along the way, none of which are a bow.

Has anyone got Blood Dragon yet? I seem to have a night on my own tonight, with nothing but a PS3 and a pizza. I might even pop home at lunch to start the download off paperbag

Thanks, if it's half as daft as it sounds, it should be brilliant.

£11.99 on PSN. £9.59 to PSN+ members. Under a £10 has me tempted somewhat!
Definitely going home at lunch then!

Oddly it wasn't available for download this morning before I left for work.

Do they run on US time? I was actually suprised it wasn't available for pre-download.
