What is with everyone saying it takes 1000 shots to kill enemies? You guys must have the worst ****ing aim of all time, headshots are one shot kills, aim at the chest and it takes six shots, the legs take over 10 for obvious reasons. Shotguns are one-two shot kills depending on range, so I don't see how this game is any different to most games out now. The only thing that ****es me off is that I don't have enough diamonds for more syrette spots and I keep running out.

Just want to ask what range do you shoot at? I play plenty of FPS games so trust me, my aiming is fine. The muzzle rise is so great in most guns, which is probably where most of the complaints originate from. The excessive muzzle rise can cause people to miss more than they are used too.

look what you just said, most of these enemies do not even have armor. SIX SHOTS TO THE CHEST! (WIth a ****ing heavy machine gun) And head shots are relatively difficult especially in the middle of a crazy firefight. Snipers are the best solution, mostly one hit kill. That said I still really like the game but they need to fix the damage.

Ironically I NEVER run out of Sarettes

Nah I'm not kidding :p World in Conflict run like crap on my PC :( but Crysis runs fine (on low) :/ go figure.

Hmm sounds like you need a fairly beefy GPU to run this game, most of the people reporting the game running well have fairly high end cards...I don't think my lowly 8600GTS would cope with this game, guess I'm skipping it after all :p

no this game is pretty optimized, my 9600gt runs ultra settings, you could run high probably with that (depending on res) btw the 8600gts is the recommended requirement for this game.

Yeah I noticed that, for some reason I wrote that off as a typo :p (as I would of expected a 8800GTS to be the recommended card). Well I might get it now.

EDIT: Scatch that, I will get it :) I've decided to just upgrade my graphics card in the next month or so (planning on getting a GTX 260, as I've heard others with the same PC as me run it no worries, I was hesitant about it for a while but decided in the end sometimes you just gotta do it rather then spend an eternity thinking too much about it :laugh:)

Having problems running this properly, but its not the video, its the sound.

I cant hear any reload animations, phone conversations (the phone ringing either) and other sound anomalies. Also, if an NPC is talking, I can only hear them in either the right or the left channel only (depending where my crosshair is).

I'm using it with an Audigy SE on vista x32. Any thoughts?

It really takes the fun out and has made it unplayable for me.

Noone?

About the game, I'm bored already. They try to up the realism yet in certain areas all realism goes out the window. Go into a cease fire area and sneak up an enemy on his own and knife him. The whole town comes after you. Must be some physic ability I don't know about.

And I echo the thoughts about an enemy taking too long to kill. 2/3 shots to the head and nearly a whole clip to the torso.

Doubt I will be playing this game for much longer, mainly due to the above mentioned sound issue.

Multiplayer definitely takes some getting used to but I can really see myself getting into it :woot:

Awesome game!

Me too as there is effectively loads of maps, due to map editor, I just hope custom made levels get popular to play, and not just between friends.

I'm struggling to understand why this game is getting such great reviews. The repetition is awful (driving through the same goddamn checkpoints at every intersection with the same jeep ramming me from behind), the AI is bad, the story is nonexistent (I thought I was supposed to be looking for this Jackal guy), I have to trample all over the place for 1 piddly diamond at a time, and I spend the vast majority of the game driving through the above frustrations. Plus the previously-mentioned problems with the cease-fire area and the confusing directional sounds.

Hopefully they'll fix these issues in the next game, which would make this a great FPS. But for now, they obviously made a deal with PC Gamer for those wonderful pre-release reviews.

Rust bucket with weeds and a plastic ant? Awesome (N)

And you are right, you'd have to be a mental to have that sitting in your room and actually enjoy having it.

Yet it's awesome for people who play games out doors in their back garden :p

Just got the game an hour or so ago, anyone having problems playing it? I get ill and feel claustrophic after playing for a while. After a bit of searching I found that it was down to a fudge the devs made in order to play in Widescreen and as such the FOV is too low, probably what is making me feel ill :(

Other sites are now posting this news too, so why wasn't it mentioned in any of the reviews as its pretty obvious when playing :(

Just alliveated a lot of my driving issues. I take the bus all the time now. It is so useful you just have to remember to use it. :p

boogerjones, not sure why you are complaining so much. In GTA you have to drive everywhere (especially IV) halfway across the map or use taxis, same principle here (just a bus). I'm glad in Far Cry 2 we have an indicator for diamonds instead of NOTHING in GTA IV for finding pigeons. Yes the diamonds give you money per say while the pigeons give you nothing, but I'm sure you could still get through the game without when missions give 10 or 10+ usually.

    • Classic 7 is Windows 10 LTSC cosplaying as Windows 7

      Given only Volume license customers and specific resellers can obtain the LTSC versions legitimately it seems likely that this has been tinkered with quite a lot!
    • Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Memory and chip shortages have led to significant price increases for electronics over the past year, and it seems that more hikes are on the way for upcoming smartphones and computers. Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that the company is planning to increase the prices of some of its products due to the ongoing memory and storage shortages. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Cook confirmed the looming price hikes for Apple’s future products, adding that “Unfortunately, price increases are unavoidable.” He also said the company is doing its best to “mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable.” The Apple CEO also noted that the allocation of a large portion of memory chips to AI companies has contributed to shortages in the market, resulting in lower supply at a time when demand for devices remains high. “We definitely need memory pricing and supply to return to reasonable levels for consumer products. That’s the bottom line,” Cook said. Cook also added that Apple is ready to use its vast cash reserves to help boost supply in the market because additional production capacity is needed. While he declined to specify how Apple plans to do that, he said the company will not build its own memory and storage factories despite its financial resources and silicon expertise. Cook did not provide further details on the scale of the price increases or which Apple products would be affected, though iPads and Macs could see higher prices sooner than other products. Apple’s next product launch event is scheduled for September, when the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable iPhone. It remains unclear whether the upcoming iPhones will be affected by the price increases, but given the current memory shortage, higher prices seem increasingly likely. There is currently no clear timeline for the end of the memory shortage. Samsung, one of the world’s three largest memory chip manufacturers, recently said the shortage could persist for several more years.

      Downloads does not equal actual usage, even less when the app is pre-installed in some Galaxy phones.

      +1000 to this, don't understand why they added that margin around the top bar, even the close button is a PITA to click without aiming. Ofc, this is just preview and hopefully they will revert such odd UX decision before hitting final version.
