This explains my thoughts exactly. (No this is NOT me.)

E: Halo 1 maps in REACH? I better get the PC ones or M$ will feel the wrath of a weak fanboy!
E2: Nothing on Assault Horizon? Dammit.
E3: I need to stop editing... ()

wow shit, remember when we were talking about first person cover? look at this farcry 3 video:

at about 5:30 it shows off the fp cover, but the whole thing is ridiculously awesome.

The knife stuff and the Enemy alertness meters looks good.

I thought I saw death island somewhere.... I think its one of the times an elite explodes from a needler...

That AK looked pretty. The knife was ridiculous in a bad way. The reload animation looked meh. The whole idea that everyone is "insane" is just a lazy excuse for them to have their AI relentlessly attack you like in FC2, regardless of what faction you were on. The insanity guy comes off as some whiny prick to me and I hate him already. :|

Go to Gametrailers.com and look up "Red Orchestra 2". They have a far superior first-person cover mechanic.

There's a good interview on Far Cry 3 over here.

...but will we come across NPCs that won’t want to kill you? That was one of the cool things about the second game.

Yeh, absolutely, and I totally agree. And the answer is yes. It’s really important that you’re not getting hit all the time. You want to make sure that you have an opportunity to pause, that you can be a little more contemplative, that if somebody comes across your path, you don’t immediately have to engage in a battle...

So maybe he's confirming NO MORE GODDAMN RESPAWNING GUARD POSTS, or at least I hope so

...How are you guys approaching multiplatform development?

...it’s a totally tricky question and the reality is that Far Cry was born on the PC. So we know that we have to do the PC right, and we want to make sure that if you’re a PC shooter player, if you’re a PC Far Cry player, you’re going to pick it up, you’re going to be able to crank the settings, and you’re going to be able to go “wow – this is amazing”.

Respawning Guardposts and the fucking vindictive assholes in the gun trucks are the sole reason I put the game down for long periods of time.

I hate hate hate that AK rail system. The milled AK from the last game was awesome. Adding rails to everything (even the 1911!) is just annoying to me.

Other than that it looks awesome. And the crazy thing isn't necessarily a cop out. Ever hear of the Khmer Rouge?
