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.

    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      The problem isn't with Epic, it's with the platform holders like Steam and Nintendo, they should be a lot more strict in their review process.

    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search by Paul Hill Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.125, its latest weekly release. This week, the company has focused on discovering and installing extra language models via the Marketplace; searching the web and securely browsing over remote connections without leaving VS Code; choosing how long VS Code waits before installing extension updates; and delivering managed Copilot settings through existing device management tooling. In older versions of VS Code, extensions could contribute their own model providers, but to find these extensions, you needed the right tags to search for in the Extension view. Now, the Language Models editor gives you an Install Model Providers button that opens the Extensions view, which is filtered to extensions that contribute model providers, making it easier to find and install them. Once you install a provider, its model will appear in the model picker. If you use the integrated browser much, you can now look up information without leaving VS Code by typing a query into the integrated browser’s address bar. It will use your configured search engine, the same way a standalone browser does. You can use workbench.browser.searchEngine to pick a search engine. When the browser is opened in a remote workspace, it's now possible to proxy HTTP(S) traffic via the remote connection. This allows you to connect to any ports or services that can only be accessed from the remote machine. If you read our coverage from two weeks ago about VS Code 1.123, you might have seen that extension updates have a two-hour delay as a safety measure. In this update, Microsoft is giving you the ability to configure the time of the delay. You can find it under extensions.autoUpdateDelay. Finally, with this update, admins can deliver managed GitHub Copilot settings through native device management (MDM) channels on Windows and macOS, in addition to account-based enterprise settings files. Settings delivered via MDM appear as policy-enforced in VS Code and can’t be overridden locally. Future updates will extend the supported policy keys across Copilot surfaces. You can download the update from the Visual Studio Code website now.
    • Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account

      "it opens up new doors for people who prefer using Edge, but cannot be bothered to configure a Microsoft account" You already have a Microsoft account if you are using Windows 11, because you can't set it up without one.
    • This is how much iPhone 18 Pro could cost after Apple's price hike confirmed

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      This is how much iPhone 18 Pro could cost after Apple's price hike confirmed by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Apple CEO Tim Cook confirmed in a recent interview that the company may have to raise prices on some of its products due to the ongoing memory shortage. While he did not elaborate on the scale of the price hikes, new estimates suggest that Pro iPhone models could become significantly more expensive this fall. The Wall Street Journal and research firm TechInsights have come up with an educated estimate of how much the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could cost after its launch in September. The estimate is based on current increases in memory and storage chip prices. For starters, the iPhone 18 Pro base model is expected to feature 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. According to TechInsights estimates, 12GB of DRAM for the iPhone 17 Pro cost Apple $39 last year. However, for the iPhone 18 Pro, the cost of the same amount of DRAM could soar to $145. Likewise, 256GB of flash storage that previously cost $13 could now cost around $51. Producing a base iPhone 17 Pro reportedly cost Apple around $582, but TechInsights estimates that the production cost of the iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $726. If Apple wants to maintain the roughly 47% profit margin it enjoys on the iPhone 17 Pro, the base price of the iPhone 18 Pro would need to reach $1,371. After standard pricing adjustments, customers could end up paying around $1,299 for the base model. However, that may not be the end of the story. As we previously reported, the iPhone 18 Pro is said to feature a variable-aperture lens, which could cost Apple at least 50% more than the current camera system. The estimated $1,299 price tag does not include the additional cost of this upgraded camera hardware. Once that expense is factored in, the base model could cost at least $1,399. A $1,399 price tag for the base iPhone 18 Pro would represent a significant increase over the current $1,099 starting price of the iPhone 17 Pro. If Apple wants to keep its upcoming iPhones competitive, it may need to accept lower profit margins.
