I'm on the fence really. Great game engine, beautiful and authentic visual/map design etc. but flawed game design. It looks like they ran out of time trying to put some meaningful and engaging content and filled in the holes with stupidly fast respawning guard posts (yes let them respawn but not within 2 minutes ffs, give us some reason to be glad we took the time to clean house). I just hit Act 2 and it's getting a lot more challenging which is good so I'll give it a bit more time but right now I'm playing it for the scenery/game-tourism as much as anything.
Just in reply to some previous posts, and this is based on the PC version (I NEVER play FPS on a console, just seems wrong
). One head shot will kill and enemy, even from a silenced pistol, it's just very hard to get that shot. One shot from the Dragunov (which isn't even the best rifle) to anywhere on the body will kill outright 90% of the time. As for the amount of bullets it takes to kill enemies otherwise, well it's a game....what about the fact you can be riddled to swiss cheese and save yourself with a handy injection? 
. The basic vehicle mounted gun is a lot like the machine guns you can get yourself, i.e. very inaccurate, fire in short bursts and 50 yards is really pushing it. it doesn't have the fire rate to make up for it's lack of accuracy at those kind of ranges and doesn't pretend to either, just adapt your tactics to suit the weapon - also don't even think of firing it without iron sights. The upgraded cannon now is a whole different ballgame, very accurate and does a lot of damage, if you get it before the end of Act 1 (from Buddy missions) you're set, but a lot of the enemy vehicles have them on Act 2

Finished it last night.
The ending was as expected pants.
A very cold, unemotional ending. For a game about civil war and mass numbers of people becoming refuges and having to leave their homes or get killed etc they really fail to make it actualy hit home with the player. (the game in general)
I could have been playing space invaders as far as I was concerned: may as well have been with the amount of retard AI enemies that I killed over the course of the game.
Personally I think they should have pulled a condemned 1 on this: much less enemies, more random when they attack. And when you see you its a case oh shi..t. Seriously you can barely walk a mile in the game without coming across 3 check points at being attacked by two random jeep patrols. Takes all suspense out of the game: you expect there to be a base around the corner, oh wait there is just, just like I expected.
Also having an AI that actually has some tactics other than charging at you.
(hhmmm man have jeep with mounted grenade launcher, me charge down straight road directly in front of man so he can blow me up)
Not that I am saying AI is very easy to program, but they could have at least scripted a few things to make to AI a little more human like and a bit less retarded. Also an AI that is a little less aim bot would be nice.
To be fair they did get the fire right. Only game I have really played where petrol bombs are done proper. Who doesn't like setting things on fire?

Yeah its the one thing that keeps impressing me. You have to look at the situation and see if fire will be an asset or not (i.e In sandy areas it won't spread and in concealed areas there won't be enough wind to spread it fast)
You can also look at which way the trees are blowing and judge where would be the best point to set a fire so that it will spread through a checkpoint.
I'm onto the second map now and the sheer number of checkpoints and patrols is getting increasingly annoying. I only recently unlocked the mounted weapon upgrade and now everyone has it... what was the point?
Also, I can understand 20 diamonds for a sniper rifle, or 10 diamonds for a SMG... but 45 FREAKIN DIAMONDS for a CAMO SUIT??? This suit better be equivalent to the suit you get in Crysis. What the hell would make someone hand over 45 diamonds for a set of overalls?0 -

Anyone else not realize you can get a bus straight from/to Pala? I only realised right before I unlocked the second map that I could do it :mad:
Why the hell isn't there a bus symbol at Pala on the map? I only realized purely by chance as I was at the bus station wanting to go somewhere else and seen you could go straight to Pala

There's a bus symbol on the smaller map of Pala itself, on the street running southwest out of the town. It's very handy!0 -
Thought you couldn't care less about it?Bought it, beat it, couldn't care less about it.
Where are the helicopters?
Why does it take 15 rounds to drop a NPC?
Why do I have to travel so much?
Why is the hit detection completely off?
Come on UBI soft where are your standards going these days?

Yeah I see that now. Don't know why I didn't notice it before. I guess I was always looking at the larger map which doesn't have a bus symbol on it for pala
Anyway, some more screenshots. Taking screenshots in game is fairly handy, you just press "¬" then type screenshot (or type "sc" then hit tab). You can also press "esc" if you are in the middle of a firefight and bring up the console. It will take a screenshot of your game and not the menu.

I'm sure he's got a console Cheats aren't really a pc thing, are they? Console gamers have been complaining that this games too hard, I'm finding it easy enough on hardcore on pc 0 -

Yup...Although burst/full automatic would be the options I'd look for. Safe not so much 0 -

yeah, I think the difficulty in this game was tailored for the console. When you have the accuracy of the mouse it really makes the game very easy. I mean I can usually clear out a checkpoint with my semi-auto sniper rifle before the first NPC has reacted to the shot.
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 0 -
