    That is an excellent game. I really wish Bohemia would finish up "Game 2"* and release it....

    *Game 2 is the new name for OpFlash 2 after Bohemia lost the rights to the name because Codemasters dropped the PC version or something in favor of a console version. There was some legal battle over the rights as well, but I obviously don't know the specifics.

    I thought FarCry allowed for very good use of the environment, I certainly had a lot of fun sneaking up on people and killing them without them having seen me.

    Maybe if you through it guns blazing it is less fun ?

    Great shooter. What I really love about it that it has great visuals and a still a fair FPS rate on my CRAPPY 440 MMX Nividia. Now that is saying something.
    It was the first shooter (that I know of) that went into a tropical setting. And i loved the stealth parts.

    One thing I did not like is the sometimes strangely placed savespots.
    When I said Death before Dishonour, I meant alphabetically.

    Nah, second time i played through i did it guns blazing, just as fun but rather heavy on your ammo. So I did that the third time too, but with unlimited ammo. Heheh....nothing better than charging at groups of mercs and ripping them to shreds.

    I completed the game over a dozen times and still find it just as fun and I still activily play it now. It is just so amazing.
    It can be fun all guns blazing but I find I have the most fun sneaking up on the Mercenaries and toying with them a bit. For example, Sneaking up on one man and knifing him, before running round to the otherside of the Merc Camp and blowing up some explosive barrels, they have no idea what to do lol.
