I played Far Cry two like a month or something ago so my memory will be crap,
but dosent the RPG 7 rocket launcher become available ar the end of the first act (or i might just spend my money unwisely on weapons...)

Sincerely
Daniel

i am honestly, bad at first person shooters in general
so, with far cry 2 i get by on only strategy
my favorite weapon is the dart rifle definitely (though it jams waaaaay to much)
then ill use a m79 and then an AR
i have careful reasoning for all of them
dart rilfe is all about strategy, killing someone to draw others there as a distraction while you complete the objective, its a great strategy weapon
m79-patrol defense is hte simplest way to put it
then AR because even though i try to avoid firefights, you still need a weapon for them
also-for me a machete is like having a close range silenced weapon
you can go on great killing sprees if you draw enemies into bushes with the machete-but i will usually complete a mission on entirely the dart rifle (if it doesnt explode or run out of ammo)

Gotta agree with the advice to take your time in this game. I've played through the game twice now, and partway through a few more times. The first time, I spent about 120 hours on it, just getting to know the game, learning strategies and stuff. Since then, I've given myself various challenges for subsequent games--finishing with a high accuracy (second time playing was like this, but glitched near the end of Leboa Sako), using only close-quarters combat, and seeing how fast I can complete the game (38 hours doing all the subverted missions, predecessor missions, assassination missions, but skipping the buddy missions and some diamonds etc; currently trying again but skipping the subverted and predecessor missions; 7 hours and halfway through Leboa Seko). If I'm not trying to finish as fast as possible, I'll usually take the time to get every diamond, guard post, and safe house in the region before proceeding with missions (other than convoys, which I always do first). Personally, I prefer to skip the M1903 and most of the stuff initially available (I get the Homeland for the weapon purchase mission, it's the best option of the 3), collect a few diamonds and buy IEDs, immediately do the convoy missions, and prioritize the Dragunov, Dart Rifle, Mac 10, PKM. Various combinations of those serve me for every mission in Leboa Sako. Generally I'll grab the M79 and RPG as well. Adding the M249, AS50, UZI, MGL-140 pretty much sorts me out for the rest of the game. Other weapons I usually buy at some point, and occasionally use, but I could always get by easily without them. One point about the Makarov (mostly relevant to the 6P9, but except for the silencer, they're identical): it has a much tighter cluster than the MP-5, so when you're close enough for a headshot (and you pretty much have to be if you're using either the Makarov or the MP-5), the Makarov gives you greater accuracy and a much better chance of a one-shot kill. The MP-5, though, allows you to fire bursts, which means if your first shot misses, you might still silence the target without alerting his buddies. For both the Mac-10 and the UZI, I find it's best to use short bursts, 2 or 3 rounds, always aim for the head if possible. I use both extensively, and very rarely run low on ammo for them. With respect to the durability of the Mac-10, I've honestly never had one jam, even without the durability upgrade. However, I still find the UZI to be far superior.

The first thing I did in farcry2 was take my sweet time and really enjoyed the time they put into the game as well. I've got 300 hours in and am just about done. Awesome game and your advice is excatly the reason I have made this the number one game in my books. Good call thanx

I love your far cry 2 videos. I have watched all the house cleaning videos, the ending and the ufll mission videos. I think you are really funny like in one video that i´ve watched was really funny whith the molotov cocktail when you were throwing at an enemy but you were only hitting beside him and then you hit him and you were saying have some hasta, have some more hasta,have some more hasta and at the last throw you hit him. It was one of the ending videos.

it always takes a bout 7 shots for the makarov pistol for me to kill a guy (though I'm pretty crap at pistols apart form the silenced one)

Messed up on my other name hehe... this is actually a great load out but to you starters... get two missions or so done first ( to build diomonds) Then do convoys. And enjoy your time doing some heavy thinking what to get.
