Far Cry 2

[Squirrel Meat]

I'm having the same issue as rimmerchant.....got it on the 360 and its fine, about 10% of the way through, simply filling the 5 days till fallout 3!!

anyway i have farcry2 at work on a PC for demo use and I'm getting the same issue...i start in the hotel, get shot or escape...either way i'm back in a blurred room being told to heal and i can't to anything.

there is a blue flashing save box but i cant activate it no matter what key i press or no matter what key i bind to do it, all i can do is get my map out and walk around in a circle....



this is why i use an xbox for gaming as they work

well there is another wall where there is a med kit where you can pick up sryinges to heal yourself with. those are what you use. then the guard lets you out of the door.

I hear what you're saying about this medkit on the wall but there really is nothing i can do or activate at all....like i said xbox was fine just this PC version....still stuck in this room


did you get out of it rimmerchant?

omg i just discovered that you can press crouch button while in the jeep to switch between the gun and the drivers seat. Crap. I've been getting out and running around to get to the gun...

Now it won't be so tedious handling these oncoming enemy jeeps.

those scare the crap out of me...I'd be driving along then out of nowhere someone starts shooting and ramming me...I remember one time I was in a jungle sneaking along when out of nowhere this jeep comes right at me straight through the bushes and the gunner kills me

heck ya! I think its f1 by default. anyways for me, even with that hot key, its still a tiresome process in that every minute or sooner you come across a jeep coming at you from the opposite direction you need to get out and keep shooting them.

I'm not scared of the jeeps but what I am scared of is injured soldiers that hide. I shot at someone, he ran away, I searched all over and didn't find him. I relaxed then tried to figure out how to unlock the guard post. I walked by some sand bags and I hear hitting noises and my health thing goes crazy. He's lying down hitting me with a machete I think. SO I machine gunned him.

Now this has happened several times, injured enemies lying down etc. Now I kill them with a machete myself LOL.

What bothered me was (because I didn't know how to switch between the seat and gun) that I would jump out and they would smash into the front of my truck. So if I throw a grenade or use a rocket launcher I would destroy my truck as well.

Is there a hot key to look behind you? I thought I saw a video of someone doing that but I can't find the key at all.

Many times now I have a truck on my tail shooting at me, they always seem faster then me, I stop and jump out and they are RIGHT THERE stopped and jumping out themselves. I swear this game spawns enemies where you are NOT looking.

Took me over 30 hours to find the hot key for switching between the seat and the gun.

To look behind just press the 2 mouse buttons.

I just figured it out

it have something to do with the keyboard maping.

what I did was restore all the key binding to default and and restared a new game..

when I got to that room part I just press H to heal myself. and then I"m done..

before I had the H maped to another button and no matter what buttons I press it won't heal....

after I'm healed I remapped the keys back to my setting.

hope no more of thse bugs starts up again.

The game's pretty fun...but the missions are all pretty much the same thing over and over.
I bought a camo suit and silenced MP5. NOW I can really do some serious sneaking around. It's back up to FarCry 1 standards of stealth.
I can pretty much walk up behind mostly anyone now, as long as I'm in the grass. MP5 kills are quieter than machete, which kinda makes sense. I also put an accuracy upgrade on it , usually 1-2 head shots works well now, and no one hears.
I just drive around to diff guard posts, kill off everyone but one guy, then blow up ****.

[rimmerchant]

there's something wrong with the keybinding in the game.

some keys won't work even though I bind them. they seems to work fine on default though...

after regbinding keys some of the keys don't work even when press it.

[dimmy32]

I guess a patch is needed.
I use default key bindings and find it works well.

[Freddy part deux]

Halo 2 was like that with bindings. I could not rebind E no matter what.

I type in DVORAK keyboard layout and fortunately some games automatically recognize this and I dont' have to rebind so much but not microsoft games.. go figure.

my "WASD" controls are ",AOE" The only binding I really don't like in this game is the grenade throw button (that should be lean left) but I never bothered to change it.


btw, right and left mouse buttons at the same time to look backwards is great, thanks.

I find that annoying to but once you can minimize it by using the bus station. I love the game now but even on hard core it's pretty easy now that I got some good weapons and I know how to use those storage lockers.

I'm not sure what's going on right now, I got kidnapped and thrown off a truck in the desert. I had to assassinate some guy that was going to kill everybody at Mike's bar and the Church, and now at least one of my gun stores have disappeared.
