Also, PC cheats can be fun once you've completed the game. I wouldn't mind infinite flamethrower ammo. I wonder how much of the world I could set on fire at the same time

Ever consider taking up a career as a evil overlord. I think you have the aptitude for it.

Did anybody get this briefcase ? how did you do it ?

Hop onto the railing, sprint-jump.

Although jeep alongside also works for a fair few of them.

There's one

in the lake where you have to blow up the fuel supply, think it's at the NE corner. It in a partly submerged building. It's either underwater or on the roof, but either way

can't work out how to get it.

You have to swim down and through the submerged doorway.

Had one noodler there last night that I must of spent an hour trying to get at. It was on a ledge on the other side of a river with a little embankment beside it. I assumed they wanted you to drive a boat up onto the embankment and then jump up on the ledge from the roof of the boat. I was at it for ages trying to ram a fishing boat (the big ones, not the swamp boats) up onto the ledge but it was never high enough. Eventually I gave up and went to unlock a safehouse nearby. What do I find when I get there... a hanglider so I use it, swerve my way through a canyon, fly over a checkpoint and then land on the ledge to get the diamond.

I like that they have put some thought into the placing of some of the diamonds. They make you think laterally and non-conventionally. Most games would never require you to have a car on hand to get up to somewhere.

Also, as a side in regards to the malaria, I think it's set to how much you run or walk. I found when I was traveling mostly by car I didn't get hit with malaria for a good while. But now that I'm using stealth and running/walking to a lot of locations I'm getting hit with malaria a lot more frequently.

Decided to play through the next few missions and see how well the stealth works

I've bought the camo and equipped the Silent Makarov 6P9, Silent MP-5 AK-47 and the Dart Rifle.

I'm actually amazed how different using stealth makes the game feel. Before I would just roll right into an area, get on the mounted gun and just take out everyone in a matter of seconds.

With stealth you have to plan out your route and watch the patrolling patterns of the guards. The camo suit at night is good but it only perfectly conceals you if you are crouched and not moving in the grass, so you still have to watch which ways the guards are looking. The weapons also are absolutely rubbish if you get spotted, I've found its better to just throw down a wall of molotovs and high tail it to a safe distance and pick the rest off with the dart gun.

Currently this game is up to about an 8 in my books. Are many of yous bothering with the side missions or are yous just completeing the main storyline and doing the optional friend missions?

I thought I'd cleared a camp but then some dude starts taking pot shots at me, I checked everywhere but couldn't find him but he kept hitting me, anyway eventually tracked him down - he was inside a mountain lol

i have noticed a few strange things like this happening. one time i was standing on top of a petrol tank (the big cyinders with the stairs on top) and someone was shooting me through the tank. they were on the ground and their shots were passing through the wall and roof of the tank and coming out at my feet..and leaving marks.....nad no, there was no one above me shooting down.

lots of times i have been shot by guards looking the other way. the bullets a just come out sideways.

anyone else have this happen?

Tbh I wnet ninja one one or two assassination missions and it was a good laugh.

I snuk into an enemy airfield, popped the target with a single silenced pistol shot to the head, got delayed by a jeep patrol, hid, the guards spotted the corpse so I ran out to the airfield, sniped the driver and gunner in the patrol jeep with the pipe rifle and high tailed it under heavy fire out into the dessert. Good fun and much better than simply killing all the retard AI guards.

I honestly think if they made the game a tiny bit more realistic i.e. inaccurate enemies, much higher damage on the weapons when shooting the AI, location specific damage to the AI like Golden eye, less enemies but better scripted I think the game would have been much much better.

Technology wise its an 8.5/10 or 9/10 Gfx are good, weapons sound meaty, the tactical use of fire is amazing and you get nade launchers!

But the game is a 7/10 gameplay wise for me. No real soul to the game, stupid respawn, enemies take too many bullets to die and are thick as a brick. Far too repetitive, but then again Ubisoft Montreal did do Assassins Creed so I guess they have a well established history of taking good game ideas, putting good tech behind them but fogetting to actually make a proper game :rolleyes:.

Also where was base rapping the enemy from a Hind hele gun ship in the game? Its Africa, seriously we should have had at least one Blood Diamond-esque mission of total pwnage from the air! Boo hiss. All we get are crashed helecopters!

Really wierd, I can't get pass this mission. I hope someone can help....

South Park classic!

I have this for the PS3, i got it delivered on release day but i've played very little of it. Its just not grabbing hold of me or something. I find the AI very off putting. I want to get into it but just can't for some reason.

just got the game but it only opens in window mode. i checked all the settings but can't seem to change this. any ideas how to resolve this?
