If your Recon'ing a Camp for a take over, Look for the Animal Cage that Basically All Camp's have, Take a Sniper Rifle, and Shoot the Front Door of the Cage. (Careful NOT to Shoot the animal). If you use silenced(or Not) , the Pirates, Get a NICE surprise, and you Get an easy take over. Work's Great for Me.

Doesn't work as good when you get to the second island where the Heavies are more prominent. If stealth fails, either explosives or an LMG will be needed to take the bastards out.

I found that the flamethrower excels at taking them down but I am struggling a bit against the Heavy Flamers. My current tactic when spotted is to run into some thick foilage and use a molotov cocktail when they follow me.

You can lay some C4 next to a landmark before you start on taking an outpost, if it goes haywire you can detonate it when they follow. Go back and pick it up if successful (also makes a nice diversion should you need one, i.e. infiltrating the outpost from the other side to go in and smash the alarms)

Edit: I ran into an outpost once that was guarded by no less than 5 heavies. Took down two of them but was too hasty and got spotted, and of course I hadn't made my way to shut off the alarms yet. The alarm pulled in not two but three full cars of baddies, in addition to the 3 Heavies pounding away with machine guns. Eventually I won but about $900 in ammunition was needed.

Tigers can wipe out a camp full of regular troops, but if there's a sniper or heavy there, the tiger is going to die.

Just had the boss fight against
the giant. His minions are going to be tough on the hardest difficulty level unless I crank up the brightness a bit.
There's one thing I find odd about the graphics in low light conditions. Although reducing color to black and white is realistic, it tends to look too shimmery. Hard to describe, kinda like a negative of a photo where the details of the objects become shimmering white for faint light reflections, with black outlines. This is most noticeable in dark areas of caves that have sculptured stone.

I had trouble deploying
the parachute when using the wing suit, I actually had to land in the water close enough to the objective to avoid failing mission.
I chalk it up to the game's buggy key mapping. Early on in the game I had trouble not being able to get out of the vehicle that Dennis drives you in. I had to rebind Interact to E. I have yet to solve this one though. It's bound to L Shift btw.

Yeah , that's True. I got Pretty Grumpy with FC3 today When I Realized that Killing 3 Civilians Concurrently Get's you Killed by the Damn Game.:mad:

Also you Get More $$ and loot if you let them Trigger the alarm, So I just Let them, and reap the reward. Plus I like Killing juggernauts.As for the Heavies, One shot to the Chest With the Special Sniper Rifle in the Store, (the Red one) , and they're DEAD.

I figured since I beat the Damn Game , I could do what I wanted. Oh-Well.

Hahaha I was just about to start ninja-clearing an outpost when I suddenly heard a ton of shouting and gunfire. Some rebels had decided to take for a drive in a technical. They just parked a few 30 metres or so from the location and completely obliterated EVERYTHING that moved, even the two tigers in the cage. Because it wasn't *me*; nobody activated the alarm :laugh:

+1500XP for hiding in a bush.

After everything was dead they just drove off, didn't say a word. Then another car showed up to occupy the place complimenting me on a job well done but worrying about a counterattack. If anyone in this unorganized rabble would have shown a single speck of leadership or coordination they could easily win the conflict outright.

Just be glad the AI don't have a hive mind. For instance there's a part later on in the game where you obtain a disguise of a certain non native troop type. I ran into one of them by mistake driving up to one of the towers as I was unlocking the last of them.

The few that were there all opened fire on me and after I killed them a few more came. I was worried I'd blown my cover and rep with them, but the ones that came investigating were just looking for who did it and after I killed them and encountered more such troops elsewhere, they were none the wiser.

AI wise, a pretty good game, it's the weird story and characters I have issues with.

I like the game so far and it plays really good on my laptop too. Toned it down to medium graphics , but it still looks great. I do see it'll have a bit of a learning curve, but so did FC2. Multiplayer is better then I expected, but I just bought Warfighter a month ago and was totally disappointed. It is a bit CODish , but I can live with that. If I want BF3ish , Aftermath just got released.

Is there anyway to hack and give the far distance landscape more definition? It is quite a contrast to the higly detailed closer distance, sometimes it looks cartoonish.

thx

I've almost finished the game, its pretty good but its annoying when my wallet fills up all the time when I'm collecting loot.

I have unlocked the bigger wallets so I can carry 10 grand, but it still fills up all the time. The other problem is I have bought every single gun, every single attachment like scopes and magazines etc for every gun. The only way left to spend money is on paintjobs, so I have to buy 6 paintjobs for every gun just to get rid of cash.

Anyone found another way to spend money? Oh I just thought of something I could play poker but with my luck I would win and my wallets full again lol. Either I'm missing something or its a flaw in the game. I'm the kind of guy that collects all the loot and hidden items so its a bit annoying.

Being the game in a 3rd world area, the option to get rid of money by donating to a NGO is imperious! Or support the building of hospitals and schools in those villages! ;)

Bought all the maps? They can get pretty pricey.

Well I think I have the spotty performance licked. Was a combination of FordGT90's LAA(The game is not Large Address Aware) and disabling the uPlay Overlay. With that it never dropped below 55 if ever. I re-enabled the Overlay as a first test and right way it was doing the weird dips again.
I will flip LAA off again just for confirmation but the Overlay is definitely causing problems.

Okay this is something that has been bothering me for the past week or so. There is like this invisible mirror-ish outline of my gun in some of the cut away scenes (even on the Radio Tower cutaways), but it doesn't happen all the time. Is this a glitch within the game or an issue with my card improperly performing with the video settings? See pics below:

Do you see my ak47?


How about now? :p

Yeah and I was bit hasty with my solution. While it's a bit more consistent it's still doing those weird random dips...

Have you tried forcing AF to 16x in your GPU control panel?

You mean Ansiotropic Filtering right?, 'cos AA 16X (over in-game max 8x) makes it looking yet nicer, but not better in the distances. :)

Ok tested AF and the distance is still washed out. Will look for a tweak ...

Found a list of tweaks and no, nothing makes this better.

Saw this solution on another site - hope this works

Go to your file where the game is saved, example Computer/C; program files (x86)/ Ubisoft/ Farcry3/ bin and find the file FC3Updater, right click it and go to properties>Compatibility tab and towards the bottom you will see a check box for run this program as administrator (Check the box and hit apply) do the same for the farcry3 exe(application) file as well and you should be good to go

Well I played some Co-op today(Actually I played alot of it) It's a completely different story with different characters(There's an Intro Film you can watch to get the plot) It's really quite fun. But of course between the P2P hosting and the inconsistent performance it can get pretty frustrating too. It would be pretty much awesome if it wasn't "hiccuping" all the time.

anyone know a fix to the problem where far cry 3 eats your save games? (or more accurately, they're still there but the game doesnt see them to load them)

Sorry for the double post but I feel bad for Mussels. I found THIS over on the Steam forums and it does make sense seeing as uPlay uses Cloud Saves. Certainly worth a try anyway

I can't seem to get FRAPS to work with this game, any ideas? Or maybe use a different program? I decided to max all settings to see how my Asus DCII 570 would handle everything, so far feels very smooth but I am curious what my frame rates are.

I use Dxtory and it works great. Shows FPS and all and barely impacts my game FPS, if you are curious on the results then link to my vids is in my signature. I also use the Lagarith Codec.
