Screen captures

[PZ]

This is my first JC2 screen capture.  Taken only moments after clearing a small military installation - the view from high on the cliffs was very good.

beautiful PZ - and to top it off, you can get to the top of the mountain you see in the distance, I love that.

Verrrry nice, PZ :-X

[Art Blade]

That pic makes me want to go there, too  ;D Nice  :-X

[PZ]

Thanks guys - I've captured a few more and am trying to upload as I write - man this game is fun  :)

[PZ]

While the following are reasonable examples of some of the views in JC2, they definitely do not do the game justice.  There are many more places that I've visited on the console that I did not have the opportunity to capture.

This is the Palau casino - it is perched high on the clifftop and a waterfall runs through the base between the towers.

...Playing with C-4 (IEDs).  I stole someone's car, stuck some C-4 to it and parked it next to a merc patrol that was guarding town.  A detonator in raised hand was all she wrote.

It is a great-looking game, all right. Some of those screenpics are near photographic (love the sunset one) :-X

[Art Blade]

Beautiful screenies there, PZ  :-X :-X :-X

Man, am I looking forward to getting this game!

[PZ]

Thanks guys - my goodness, you won't believe how realistic the water is - whether swimming, standing in the surf, or boating - truly almost photographic quality.  :-X

and there's even fish in the water.   Fish!

[PZ]

Cool!  I haven't seen the fish yet  :-X

Something more to look forward to  :)

[Art Blade]

hmmm...  c-4 fishing?  :-* ;D

[PZ]

hmmm...  c-4 fishing?  :-* ;D

haha, I'd not thought of that - wouldn't that be cool if the fish were affected by the explosives - that would be huge attention to detail  ;D

[spaceboy]

I like your thinking Art!  The underwater is really beautiful with all the coral and colors and fishies.  It'd be great to see one get blasted onto land...

Has anyone noticed the scorpions in the desert regions?  Haven't tried C-4 on them but if shooting them is anything to go by, they just disappear.

Little touches like the fish, scorpions and the birds flying around (tried shooting them but haven't hit hem yet!) just add to the effect of a living, breathing world.

[spaceboy]

yeah, I've seen (and shot) the scorpions.  Scorpio is Rico's handle, I have been trying to figure out if they appear when you cause chaos or do something cool but I don't think so.

great bunch of shots PZ!  that last one is awesome seeing the govmen flying.

Also notice the pipeline shot says 2/55 pipelines.  That's a huge amount and is nothing compared to the number of locations 370, or faction items 300, or the number of resource items 2700.  There's 49 faction missions, 7 agency missions, 9 stronghold missions. The game truly gives you a ton to do and a big place to do it  :)

[PZ]

Thanks space!  :)

I hadn't noticed the pipeline number before so I didn't realize that there were so many!  I like doing them - the sequences are fun and the explosions are huge (I saw a mod where you change the magnitude of the C-4 explosion into the pipeline explosion - should be fun)

I'm also having a blast using the multiple wire capability of the Bolo mod to string up govmen.  Their antics while suspended are funny.  The wire is also really strong, and stays attached as long as you remain in the area so I'm going to try things like stringing the wire across a road to see what happens to motorcyclists  ;D

In addition to having a massive world in which to play, having fun with the strong wire will lend an entirely new dimension to the game - setting traps for instance.  :)

[Art Blade]

thanks for those very nice pics, PZ, sure is appetising the way you commented them ;D :-X

Also, good read the two of you regarding what to do and how much there is to do. The string mod sounds like a lot of fun to me  :) :-X

[PZ]

Thanks for the comment, Art! Yes, the wire mod is activated by what is almost like a trainer - you have many options you can set like using the multiple wires, stronger wires, etc.  The "vanilla" wires are a bit wimpy for me - I like wires that will tow a car, and leave the govmen suspended indefinitely.

I'm looking forward to you playing the game to get your opinions  ;)
