JC2 vids

[spaceboy]

Here's a few videos I recorded

this mission seemed like a classic FC2 "raid" after a couple failed attempts of me getting into a major gun fight at the training camp I decided to steal a tank - watch the mercenary go flying through the air

after mission ended I decided to clean out the place, here's a perfect grenade throw

unrelated jump on the "LOST" island from the TV show - a tower to tower jump

that game is awesome :) Nice vids, space, and the hand grenade toss was top notch  :) :-X

[spaceboy]

thanks Art.

These next two are not mine, but for all of you FC2 fans that wish you could place 20 or more IEDs on something watch what this guy does.  The little rectangles are C4.

excellent idea... the laughter at the end of vid #1 was hilarious  ;D ;D ;D

[PZ]

oooo... cool.... I can't wait to watch these, but need to finish a few things first  :'(

[spaceboy]

Here's another great one from someone else - a beautiful time lapse of different places on the island

yes, impressive what has become of games, lately. Some of the images in the vid made me think I was watching real world footage (well, almost)  :)

I've been browsing youtube to find a good playthrough, and I found a console player doing it on hardcore. I believe it's not his first playthrough, he knows stuff before they happen (when and where helos will show up during agency missions) but then again, he's got it figured out well and shows interesting tactics and strategies as well as some cool moves. If you're curious about the game or just want to watch someone play it nicely, here you go:

Oh, you'll need to scroll down that right hand side column because he doesn't feature a playlist, but every part of that playthrough is there.

playlist :)

I haven't stopped playing long enough to watch the videos, but will make time today!  :)

[Art Blade]

I'm on #28 now, of the playthrough posted above; gives someone who hasn't got the game (yet) quite an overview of what it is like and what to expect. I'm so looking forward to getting it soon (the guy who'll get it for me was on holiday)

[PZ]

I can't wait to read of your adventures and impressions, Art  :-X

[Art Blade]

yeah, me neither... should be fun to find out what I did and if I liked it  ;)

I just edited the link for that playthrough, there was a playlist which I had missed the first time.

[PZ]

Wow, those are excellent videos, guys.  If this doesn't spark interest in open world gaming, then nothing will  :-X

On the one with the IED loaded truck - I wonder if you could grapple the jet and truck together so that you'd get explosions in mid-air, or alternately, hop onto the back of the plane and plant the IEDs and then parachute off to hit the detonator - mid-air.  I think I'll try it.  ;D

I remember the training cam mission - I liked that one very much and using the Razorback (tank) was loads of fun.  In fact, I use one in every area that I find.  In fact, I'm now using quite a few of the military vehicles on the civilian roadways to create some fun.

The time-lapse video does show quite a bit of the beauty of Panau  :-X

The videos spark ideas on what to try next in the game - I can't wait to get back ti it!

[Art Blade]

I've just come across the following vid and it instantly reminded me of spaceboy's (inimitable) perfected ways of mastering a land-bound vehicle.  ;) ;D

Just the first three minutes are relevant for that.

I recall doing that mission, and it seems that the govmen do not target the hostage that you're escorting.  In my adventure, I recall running/gunning the last couple of hundred meters or so without a vehicle and the mission went fine.

[Art Blade]

I'm not sure if you're talking about the same vid... if so, maybe you recognised the vehicle, but there is no one in it but the player who is on his way to a rendezvous point to start a new mission. If he were escorting/driving someone, you'd see a green symbol with a health-bar around it. However, if you watch the first three minutes, you might see what I meant regarding some similarities between spaceboy's graceful driving and the one driving that car :)

some similarities between spaceboy's graceful driving and the one driving that car :)

lol Art, I really love how that truck can take a beating and keep going.  In reference to black market prices on the other thread, that's partly why I rarely buy vehicles from the black market.  I so quickly destroy them  ;)  plus there are so many worthy vehicles to be had in the game.

One time I bought the silverpelt plane to fly across to the map to a location and goofing around I hit the exit button instead of stunt button.  I found myself parachuting down over a large expanse of water, with my jet nose diving.  All I could do was aim towards a boat I saw.   I wound up swimming a bit then hijacking a boat and making my way from there.  Wasn't what I planned but fun nonetheless!

Yes, same vid, but I'm not talking about the ice cream truck - I was referring to the last half of the video.

However, the first part showing the beating that the ice cream truck can take is impressive, especially if you have driven the game's other vehicles.  Some are fragile while others are more stout, but the DLC truck is in a league of it's own.

[Art Blade]

I see, spaceboy... indeed, there are so many vehicles I've seen so far in those vids, it makes me want to test them all; I believe motorbikes are very nice to get around.

PZ, sorry, I didn't realise you were referring to the last bit of the vid. Now I understand :) However, that ice cream truck was maxed out by that player. Maybe that's why it could stand such a beating  :)

[PZ]

It sure seems to be so - I haven't even tried that vehicle yet.  I have seen a few "super car" mods that make a vehicle indestructible - would be nice to have so that you can use the same vehicle for an entire island.

I installed a cluster grenade launcher mod last night and used FRAPS to capture this short clip.  The grenade launcher is a secondary weapon that is carried on Rico's belt - I fired single rounds which exploded as cluster grenades with devastating effect.

[Art Blade]

Heh, reminds me of a cheat for CoD:MW, I used cluster (hand) grenades in the "secret" (last) level when you needed to rescue a hostage on a jumbo jet. Very funny to use that kind of gear on a plane, anyway :)

Where? I don't see it?

[Art Blade]

Got that message then, though, couple of times, but now it works.  :)
