the double kill from one bullet is still iluding me ! not counting shooting barrels. have pretty much mastered the one shot-one kill sniper approach with all sniper rifles and most pistols too. will be much rejoicing when finally pull off the double, particulaly in my attempt at 100% accuracy. can shoot a barrel and kill 3 with explosion but still counts as a miss against accuracy score (my way round that is to use flare pistol or grenade launcher as they dont count toward accuracy)

Art Blade · April 21, 2009, 03:14:42 PM

handgrens, molotov, and flamethrower don't either :)

RedRaven · April 21, 2009, 06:13:51 PM

indeed, if it wasnt for flames and explosion, good old machette and a bit of hit-n-run reckon it would be impossible to keep 100% accuracy, so far have got 30% of main missions done and still 100% accuracy, nearly lost it doing the gold mission, ended up planting IEDs before going down, set them off as soon as got back out then used LPO-50 and machette on what was left,

Art Blade · April 21, 2009, 06:25:06 PM

quite a bit of effort you're going through, nice w@&k. I managed to rise from 75 to 78% accuracy with 12,300+ shots total. And that wasn't easy :)

That's a great idea planting IEDs before you go down the hole. I'm gaining new found respect for those improvised explosives.

with the accuracy thing its as much about discipline and patience as it is good shooting, at end of day got to resist the urge to spray&pray use of guns, and try to be still and calm in the middle of the madness that is 3rd world warzones.

Art Blade · April 22, 2009, 10:43:44 AM

that's what savegames are good for. reload, go see the next weapons dealer and then... madness :) oh, and please don't save after that LOL

I went into the Ranger station last night, first time in awhile without a trainer.
But by the time I got near the place, I was north of it across the river, and sitting in a grenade truck in broad daylight.

You can do quite the Artillery barrage thing on that place, without hardly a return shot.
SHOCK AND AWE!!!
What a mess, poor mercs never had a chance.

reminds me of this... Weelegol... Weapon of choice 6P9 ;)

Thats an excellent screenshot Art... looks like its been enhanced in some software.
Now I think maybe that one D_B once mentioned was enhanced (Pala skyline) maybe wasn't after all... the game can produce images like that depending on the light!!
I get amazed more and more with FC2

Art Blade · April 23, 2009, 01:15:10 PM

thanks :) and no, it is simply FC2, nothing enhanced. I would tell you if I enhanced it. Please consider that I reduced quality to 75% when converting to jpg... it looks better at 100%

oh, if you aim, your peripheral vision blurrs in-game... maybe that's the effect you noticed?

PZ · April 23, 2009, 01:18:10 PM

Wow, Art - that's a great image - what did you shoot to get that explosion?

Art Blade · April 23, 2009, 01:20:04 PM

thanks :) I think I hit a merc in the head.

PZ · April 23, 2009, 01:21:39 PM

Gives all new meaning to the phrase "man, my head is exploding..."

Art Blade · April 23, 2009, 01:24:10 PM

hehehe true :) well, I can't tell what exactly set off there, because I blew all kinds of stuff. maybe the explosion was on the way already and I just captured it. The aiming is just a distraction ;)

[smg id=156]

I can go further... hehe. and yes, this one hurts! ;)

grenada · April 25, 2009, 09:12:36 AM

I use either an AK, Mac-10, and dart rifle for close in fighting, or a dragonuv, 6P9 and PKM, or Mac-10 and dart rifle for longer missions which need sniping

Smith Lords · April 25, 2009, 05:36:35 PM

I use the MGL-140( For fun, and vehicles) , My Sawn-off Shotgun( For infantry, close range), and my good old Dart Rifle( For stealth).

Aeris · April 30, 2009, 02:38:00 AM

My favorite combo ever since I got the Fortune's Pack, and I started a New Game has been:

-- Silenced Shotgun.
-- MAC-10.
-- Crossbow.

Silenced Shotgun for Close Quarters Battle, MAC-10 for Medium-Long Range, and Crossbow for Vehicles and / or Sniping (I found it quite useful when blowing the Propane Tank in Petro Sahel (Buddy Mission) and the Natural Gas Tank in the Rail Yard (APR Mission)... and for Convoys, a little story coming next...)

Today, Flora told me to get rid of a convoy bringing in Furniture and Gold-Plated Dishes for that rich dirtbag Mbantawe, it was headed from the South East, I took a Bus to get there as quickly as possible, the Convoy was slightly ahead of me, luckily, someone was kind (or stupid...) enough to leave an Assault Truck parked right in front of the Bus Station.

I took off and gave pursuit, the Convoy was ahead of me by around 300 yards, and it was just about to turn on a curve, and disappear right behind a rock formation in the middle of the desert, it was quite a spontaneous and important decision that I took.

I went out from my Assault Truck, aimed through my Crossbow's scope, and shot ahead of the Transport Truck's path, the explosive arrow hit the Truck right in the middle part of it, bam, it was over, the other two Assault Trucks did not even bother to turn back, and disappeared in the path heading to Shantytown.

A quite big smirk on my face, it had worked, quite a fireworks show the Truck turned into, a brush fire destroyed whatever vegetation on its path, as for me, I went back to Mike's and saw the smile on Flora's face when I told her that the mission was a success.

Ricamundo · April 30, 2009, 04:49:56 AM

Nice loadout Aeris. I love the silenced shotty and crossbow, although for sniping quietly, nothing beats the Dart. Oh, and welcome here BTW, I cant remember if you posted in the Intro thread, or not. My memory isn't as good as it never was. ;)

Yeah, those guys claim to be escort vehicles, but when the chips are down, they'll run away just like any unscrupulous bank robber. ;D

retiredgord · April 30, 2009, 03:00:05 PM

I wonder if the escort vehicles heard that somewhere there was beer..or "f**k the beer, we need women".

Art Blade · April 30, 2009, 03:44:28 PM

Yeah, like when the truck blows up and makes their teeth rattle, they say "did you hear that?" - "Nah, it was nothing. Must've been the wind." ;D

PZ · April 30, 2009, 04:39:25 PM

HAHAHA, yeah, I love that one - those guys must be deaf! ;D

I must say that one of the most entertaining things about the game is the small talk we hear from the mercs, sometimes quite "off the wall", for instance, you've just detonated IEDs strategically planted in an area and all but one are dead. Then the lone remaining merc has the audacity to state in a condescending tone "Well, look what we got..."

Art Blade · April 30, 2009, 05:13:34 PM

LOL yeah! Thats the time I do miss a lead pipe or a baseball bat...

JRD · April 30, 2009, 05:22:13 PM

Or even... "What, is he dead? S#!t.. that F&#%*er owes me money"
