Can it really be that those outposts you cross every few hundred meters repopulate once you are around the next corner?
I really hope that I didn't get something here. Because if I have to kill the same guys over and over again I just won't play that game anymore...

But it cannot really be true, that it's like that? Or can it?

If this is really the case it is a killer criteria NOT to get that game... (Or in my case to return it as fast as possible...)

It's not only half an hour it's going into a safe house (without even resting) and coming out again. Here they are again. This really really spoils the game for me. Because it means camping in your jeep and trying to kill them all without losing any ammo. Thhat is really annoying because it takes forever...

@ dagger

That just was not funny. Not a tiny little bit.

I think it should take a full game day for a respawn.

well call it reinforcements to replace those you killed instead of respawns, sounds more realistic then

it's even more weird in games when you kill stuff and you 7 days later return and there is still no new people and noone wondered why outpost 391 stopped responding? aah well...

Lol, good point. They can repopulate, but rebuilding a demolished outpost in that time is physically impossible.

That is just what I feel razor.

That would definitely be better; I personally would like if the outposts (since there are so many of them) could be totally destroyed, if one would like to do so. Like blown up to pieces and a few heads stuck on a pole as a warning so the bad guys wouldn't return. Kinda like "this is my turf now"...

and the dynamic spawn points are extremely annoying, making noise generates spawn points

try it, take the RPG or the grenade and explode a few

before you know it you will see a few jeeps full of people wanting to shoot you show up



also with a little more testing I found a few more bugs

if you use a flair gun and start a fire then walk into the object on fire, it wont damage you

and if a ai unit in the safe zone walks near it, it automatically goes out

also headshots don't give 1 hit kills for some reason

another problem, if you start a fight int he safe zone, the number of enemies will be unlimited, each time they die, another instantly respawns (i used a unlimited health cheat and killed them for like 30 minutes stright, must have takes out at least 200 people )

another bug

if you noclip under the map, all ai units inside of the buildings are visible and you can kill them, but once you enter the building, they respawn back
(probably to keep you from doing stupid stuff the make the game impossible co complete)


another bug

you can destroy weapons you bought and you cant re purchase them again

ths is done by using the flame thrower and ied's around the weapon warehouse, you will notice that when the attack the building with them, you will hear like 30 explosions from inside of the building, and when you go in there, your weapons are gone and you cant repurchase them (not all of the weapons die but most do )

and for some stupid reason, they don't respawn unlike the enemy ai

it is like the developers make the game to be annoying

So it is another unfinished game that hits the shelves. That makes me really angry.

That one ran perfectly for me. Didn't crush at all. Although Clear Sky gave the BSOD once.

ive been playing far cry 2 for the last few days now, and theres a few things i would like to add....

- when using a sniper rifle from a distance to shoot badguys the will get shot, float upwards a few feet then die then fall to the ground.

- the camo suit(45 diamonds) is a complete waste of money and im regretting ever buying it.. the biggest problem is with one of the bugs above, while crouched at a distance a jeep will spawn near you and try to run you over, giving away your position. plus it doesnt actually seem to help.

- i think some of the ai can see through walls? i was in pala and stole a diamond from a restricted area, no one seen me, but soon as i opened the case, the guys shouted that i was trespassing and they all started looking for me, yet because they couldnt actually 'see' me i left without being shot at or followed.

- fire, i love the effect but it doesnt seem to last long enough or spread how i would like it to.

-safe house upgrades, ive had about 6 of these and cant tell what has changed - i think it might be ammo but i raely use the safe house's.

- save game, wtf is the point in the save areas? i think they just left that in from the console version, on the pc you can save anywhere you want but still have these save points? just press f5 in game.

- im about 20% through main story but have done alot of side quests, the respawning too fast and rebuilding is starting to grind now, and im starting to want to play something else.

-also what is up with accuracy upgrades? i havnt noticed an inaccurate gun yet, mabye its cause im using a mouse and keyboard but the guns seem realistic and perfectly fine to me, i have an accuracy rating above 40%(im sure its that low cause it doesnt count explosive barrels ) i havnt bought any of the upgrades yet...

- has anyone left the game area yet? i tried this today, your screen blurs and you pass out, only to re-awake a few hundred yards from the game area, however if you do it in a car like i did, your car will dissapear, it took me forever to walk to a new car.

- i wish you could sell upgrades even if it was just half price you got back.

- weapon dealer missions, there all the same just take place in a different area of the game.

Yeah i had high hopes for this game . Once i noticed the re spawning i totally lost whatever i had in me that kept me playing. Like it seems so unpolished and slapped together. Sad really because the cysis/farcry/"CRY" games LOOK great but they play like ass. ironically im having more fun just running around in multiplayer because at least then i can do what i want and i KNOW what i'm running into. Also i'll get more guns faster than having to run around the Flintstones episode that is Act-1.

The guns look/feel great and rather than return the game i think i'll still mess around in MP for a bit but in the end it's just another cog in the half assed FPS wheel.

And why the hell it takes 8-10 shots of Ak47 ( i was a feet near to the enemy) in normal mode?

Does that seem realistic to you?

I kill people with a single headshot from a distance using the silenced pistol all the time. Saves a ton of ammo.

I was actually in one of these camp while waiting for a convoy, and as soon as the convoy's blown up, like 4 dudes appear around me....ownage...and kind a fake

Hi there,

I can't argue that the respawn is annoying but what I do is basically do my very best to avoid the static spawns (ie guard posts)

Drive cross country, or best, use the boat - you can go a long way with the boat and avoid lots. Also use the train tracks - that works very well

Some posts can't be avoided for sure, but you can learn the best way to places as you go thru....

Oops - Im guilty of bumping the old thread too, but I thought my comments might have helped ;-)

Actually it's quite good fun travelling offroad!
