I'd suggest making sure your video card drivers are up to date, and change your video settings accordingly.  If you have a recently made video card, you could probably aim for High/Very High, depending on your card and how much detail you want, and how important FPS is to you.

Also, patch the game.

Since I can choose between at least 2 games for my Xbawks 360, would anyone recommend me buying this game? I've already read many reviews and watched loads of gameplay vids, and it looks quite interesting.

The PC version is tied with RA3 for my favorite game of this year.

The XBox version I'm not so sure of though, the PC one has quicksave where as the Xbox one you can only save at save points. Which would probably make me go crazy.

So if you can get it for the PC.

Just a few questions about this game. Hopefully you lot will be able to answear.

Whats the point of those weaponcrates you can buy?

I've just got to level 2 in reputation...Who, what,when, where and why?

You can store weapons in the crates at your houses across the map, so you can change top a sniper rifle without going to a weapons shop.


As for rep, I don't really know and I've completed the game...

Weapon Crates: Buy these, the seriously help when you're at a safe house, and your assault rifle is jamming. Always pull fresh weapons off the walls and put them in when inside the armory.

TBH, the Primary and Special are all that's needed.  Secondary is handy for the GL or IED's, otherwise putting a fresh Deagle in everytime is pointless, since the enemies drop them all of the time.

Reputation: Rather lulzy, the only real difference I"ve noticed is that when you're a cease-fire town, the people act differently to you.  At no reputation, when you bump into them or stare at them they tell you to piss off, etc.

At higher reputation levels, if you bump into them they'll apologize to you, if you stare at them they ask if something's wrong.  If you aim at them they'll get scared, as opposed to no reputation where they aim back at you, and yell insults.

I've just got to the part where you either choose between your chums to save and mikes bar, or the priest that gives you your malaria pills. I choose to save my chums and been bummed sensless at mikes bar and there all been slotted. Is there a way to save them or is this scripted?

You can't save 'em.

Sorry.

Mike's bar or the church?

Which to save?

i chose mikes

Ok, been playing this for a while. And honestly. It's rubbish. If I doo another "go here kill this guy, come back" I'll go nuts.

Also what on earth does that reputation level do? I'm on level 3 and nothing is going on. Also how do you get up to the high places, there seems to be cases and safe houses up ontop of the rocky mountains but there is no way of getting up there?

This game is so realistic! You can jump off a waterfall and resurface in 2 seconds! I freakin' love it....

Could not finish, just seemed so repetitive

Yeah I'm still working on it. When I totally forget how much this game sucks, I might go back and try it again.
