Thanx PZ, and D_B for the info. Just edited the reg. Let's see what will happen ;)

Edit:
Well, it turned out to w%&k fine. It got me into some funny situations allready. The first note was just where the furniture truck came by. So I blew the whole convoy up with 3 well marked M-79 grenades and then the guys put next to the note came running in to see what happened. All I had to do was pop them down with my new favourite: The Silnced MP-5. That is a great weapon btw. Perfect for sneeking in.
That brings me to the second msg, a tape this time. Back of the huge king's castle. Had to snipe the snipers on the roof, then I sneeked in, using the backdoor left entrance. I popped 2 guys in silence, and stole the tape. Left the rest in the castle, because I was low on health. As long as you instant kill a merc with the silenced MP5 (headshot) he won't make an alarm, great weapon ^-^

About the buddies: I did the second for my current best buddy Flora, and next mission I'll kill her. But first I'm working on the other buddy's missions. So if they turn to be my rescue buddy I won't have trouble getting their missions anymore. I have that problem with Josip now. I'll try to kill as many buddies as possible, these stupid traitors >:((

I think I'll still have to save 2 more buddies, right? One is at the slaughterhouse, I can remember that. Don't know where the last one is. Any ideas?

By the way, sorry for asking. I'm sure these things are somewhere hidden in all the topics. I'm just too much into the game to go searching :-D

I think you will potentially find a buddy at the slaughterhouse, the lumber yard, the cock fight arena, the small fishing area, and the "missing" buddy in the valley somewhat northwest of Schwasana.

Thanx, I had a clue it should have been in Cockfight. All the others were close to the main village, Pala. I found Michelle at the slaughter house, and Paul Cerrec at the Cock Fight. This Paul guy is a pain in the a$$. Smartass punk. I'll make sure to kill him first >:D

I did all the buddy missions, accept for one Josip mission (he's my resque buddy now) and Michelle. Michelle didn't appear at Mike's. I hope Once I kill Flora, Josip will appear again, and hopefully Michelle will appear also. Maybe it's to full now?? Rueben also showed up in the bar.

Found my second note. The tape is somewhere near the railroad in the northwest. Didn't get it yet. Indeed these predecessor missions can be stacked up as well. I tried to do aan assassination mission after a buddy mission (only had to go back to Mikes) but it said I'd loose my current missionprogress, so I skipped it.

I was hoping the buddy missions would help me get my safehouse set up quickly, with the extra ammo and better gun mounted to my AT, but that didn't happen. I guess that's story related. :-\\

My new loadout fits perfect for this moment of the game on infamous:
Primary: Silenced MP-5
Secondary: M-79 grenade launcher
Special: Dart rifle.
3 kills from distance, then sneek in, and when they find you, blow the s#!t out of them with some grenades >:D It's dangerous though, the explosions have a huge impact. If you're to close you'll die as well.
I'm beginning to like the game even more. Want to get all diamonds, safehouses and GP's :-D
And do all missions of course ^-^

Go forth and wreak havoc, my son :-D

About safehouses: To get them upgraded with vehicles, ammo, health etc. you need to complete not the buddies' side missions, but the secondary missions that your best buddy suggests whenever you accept a mission from one of the factions. When you get out of the faction HQ after accepting the mission, your BB phones you and asks you to meet somewhere to discuss an alternative way of completing the mission. It's completing these alternative or secondary missions that provide you with safehouse upgrades (you can still choose not to do the secondary mission your BB suggests, but your safehouses won't be upgraded in that case). After you've done your BB's alternative, you go on to complete the main mission and you should receive the "Safehouse Upgraded" message once you've done that.

Good loadout for Infamous :-X On that level, any kind of sniping weapon is your best friend :)

I'm glad you're having fun with the M-79 Binnatics, it's one of my favorites too. >:D

A handy trick to know about with the M-79 is that when it is fired into the air it will often cause all of the mercs in the area to curse in a steady stream.

Sometimes you have to kill everyone in the area to complete some objectives such as Underground medicine runs, protecting your BB at the end of several missions and in unlocking safe houses but you will encounter mercs that instead of running out to attacking you will turn run rabbit and hide so you can't find them. :D

An M-79 fired carefully in the air so that it doesn't come down on something you want to keep safe will usually be enough to make that hiding merc give himself away with all of his swearing. :-D

As you might have noticed by now, even the guys who developed Far Cry 2 would learn a trick or two if they ever show up around here! 8)

nexor · September 22, 2011, 12:19:31 AM

that's for sure, even more so after Art and PZ got their paws onto it's innards :-() :-()

Binnatics · September 22, 2011, 03:01:42 PM

Okay, I killed Flora after a main mission, the chief of police one. So she made place for others at Mike's. I found Josip, who didn't get my best buddy. I didn't have a best buddie left. Anyway, I could do his mission, so I have 10 buddie missions done now. Weird thing is; Michelle didn't appear at Mike's??!!

I'm affraid I'll have to kill them all to force her to get back into the game ????
Not that this is a bad thing to do, I'll enjoy it anyway >:D

This "badass" "Main man" Paul is annoying me endlessly. I Hope I can get him before leaving Bowa.

Same for me on my first playthrough. I decided I'd play as him on my second playthrough so I didn't have to see his sorry a$$. >:D

Binnatics · September 23, 2011, 02:35:03 AM

Heheh, I can imagine :-()

I had the weird feeling I didn't want to kill Josip. I was him at my first playthrough an he thus didn't annoy me at all. But still... had to get rid of him >:D

JRD · September 23, 2011, 05:34:10 AM

The one that annoys me the most is that china Xianyong ... man, I could blast his face with a shotgun on sight straight away, no questions asked! >:((

nexor · September 23, 2011, 05:40:55 AM

I don't think anyone can be born as annoying as Paul, one would have to go for training to be like that :-D

Art Blade · September 23, 2011, 06:27:10 AM

Just in case, Binnatics (anyone, really), check the funny tactics and tips topic every now and then and see if you can find something that might be useful now that you know more about the game. Like, the part about how to make your RB your new BB quickly and how to manipulate who'll be your next BB/RB. A lot of stuff is covered in that long topic, so just check its index and jump to the respective post(s). :)

nexor · September 23, 2011, 06:30:30 AM

Or ask Art :-D :-D

Art Blade · September 23, 2011, 06:31:42 AM

^+-+ good one :-X

Alright, that is a valid alternative ^+-+

Binnatics · September 23, 2011, 01:42:22 PM

I've checked it. Somewhere between these hundreds of interesting things I found info about the BB/RB shift tactics. But I didn't find the following:

What if you pick one of Leboa's buddies? I did the first playthrough. I picked Josip. But I didn't focus on buddies that playthrough. What will happen then? Will there be a buddy from Leboa transported to Bowa?

This time I'm Frank... urhmmm, the Fiach guy. He's kind of dull. I remember he was the one that was talking to me at Part III. But he has a nice jacket, that's why I chose him :-()

nexor · September 23, 2011, 03:48:16 PM

Nope, none get transported to Bowa, in Bowa you will meet a bunch of new buddies

? Fiach isn't dull!

;D

PZ · September 23, 2011, 08:05:57 PM

I'd agree with that - Fiach is never dull!

Binnatics · September 24, 2011, 02:19:21 AM

I know, I know!!! I mean the guy on the picture! :-[

deadman1 · September 24, 2011, 02:44:05 AM

^+-+

Art Blade · September 24, 2011, 06:00:05 AM

Picture? What picture?

Oh, and Fiach isn't dull.

:-D

deadman1 · September 24, 2011, 08:51:34 AM

Well both Frank and Fiach are from Ireland so I can see how one could maybe, possibly get them mixed up :-()

Art Blade · September 24, 2011, 10:31:09 AM

Maybe he wanted to say Frank was dull, rather than Fiach, but then again it is uncertain. I think he really meant to say Fiach.

^+-+

If you play as any of the Bowa-Seko characters Marty will end up in the 2nd half of the game. I've had him as BB in the 2nd half many times. That includes my current play through as Andre. ;)

Marty is a curiosity. He can show up in either half of the game. If you select a 1st half character Marty will be in the first half also but depending on your character selection there are three different missions possible from among which Marty will select two that don't conflict or overload you on trips back to one specific area.

I think the either / or missions that Marty varies is:

* the trip to scrap salvage to blow up a batch of lotion that didn't cure his rash. ??? (too much info!)
* the trip to the mansion to blow up ammo along the river bank (quayside he sez) because they ripped him off.

Apparently Marty was used by the developers to keep things balanced in the game. Is that an oxymoron? ????
