Interesting that you choose the rpg over the grenade launcher as the GL pretty much takes everything out in one hit same as rpg, but doesn't have to reload in between shots. You can just dump with the GL if you so wish.
Think I might replace my sniper for the bow for a little bit, see how it goes.

My playstyle centers around stealthy demolition so I use these a lot. C4 is kind of shitty since it can't stick to surfaces but mines can (you have to be pretty close to the surface for it to stick). Mines are glorious and can be used to booby trap anything, I mainly use them to booby trap bodies and alarms but I have also used them to set up car bombs and distractions.
My favorite use of the mine is to place it in the bush i'm hiding in before I start taking guys out. When the AI eventually telepathically figures out where i am, I move to another bush. They always go to your last hiding spot to start their search, so I usually hear the boom when I'm on my way to a flanking position.
So I remember some of the reviewers saying to make sure to manually save before the last mission so that you can see both endings...How are you doing that exactly?
By saving through the pause menu? Does that mean that if you save in the pause menu you will reload that save instead of checkpoints the next time you restart the game?
Unless there's a way to save to a different slow that I haven't seen?

I don't think so. There's at least a third one, I used later in the game. It was in a mission, so I guess I'll be able to buy it later.

I've been wondering about this as well, there aren't any multiple saves so there's no option to reload a previous save file. As soon as the game auto-saves, it's over.
This is correct, it's this game's version of the Barret .50.

How do you unlock the 3rd sniper?

I remember in Far Cry 2 the foliage was more interactive. The vehicles for example destroyed bushes and some platns had basic physics. It wasn't crysis level but it really jumps to me how non interactive the plant life is in the game. This is not available even in the PC version

It's available in stores once you get to the second island. In fact, a lot of cool new stuff is available from that point. I recommend people plow through the story missions until they get to second island, then concentrate on the side stuff.

I've been using bow, silenced sniper (finally got the amazing 3rd one), silenced assault rifle and the silenced 1911 shadow. I don't use demo stuff as much but after reading some of the other methods in here I'm going to start booby trapping. I love the bow so much though, and the later takedown skills are great. I wish there was manual throwing knives tho.

Yeah, definitely! There's a throwing knife mini game, but I don't want a mini game - I want to use those knives to chuck 'em at people and animals.
Also, something cool I found out about flashing lights in the distance if you look through your camera in certain places:
This sounds awesome. Think I'm gonna try stuff like this too.
And it's good to hear more weapons come available when you get to the second island. I had the feeling this would happen since none of the weapons I can get now are five stars, it wouldn't make any sense if there were no five star weapons
Also, I have a new tab in the store which says "signature weapon" and it's a shotgun with badass paint and a reflex sight in my case. They call it The Bull and I can buy it for 3000 bucks. You guys had a signature weapon in the store too?

You can get the signature version of it before going to the 2nd island by doing other stuff.
Check the log or whatever it is called that shows your progress on each activity and look for the signature weapon unlocks. I'm pretty sure I got it from the idols. You unlock plenty of good stuff with the idols, definitely worth your time.

I have "The Cannon" which is a modified Magnum .44 with scope. It comes from one of the deluxe edition pre-order....or Uplay, can't remember.
Haven't seen the bull.

You have to buy them. I found out that you unlock the ability to buy them by doing certain tasks. The Bull unlocks when you have found ten relics, at twenty relics you unlock the AMR, the more advanced and better sniper. You also unlock a weapon after collecting ten memory cards and after liberating 17 outposts. And more stuff like this.

And GAFers yelled at me for putting Uncharted in the OT title LOL
I have yet to land that damn thing successfully. Bring on the wingsuit already!
Every time I fly away with a paraglider I get hurt when I'm trying to land. I suck at landing this thing safely

How are you supposed to land it safely aside from landing in water?

i think you can land without inflicting damage if you're going slow enough and you land at the right time on a flat area.
but its more fun to just fly into the side of a cliff at max speed and say fuck it this looks like a good spot
woah you guys are monsters, im trying not to kill anything and ya'll like "NEED ME SOME LEOPARDS TODAY" lol

I dunno, but I suppose you can right? Otherwise it would be stupid to use it anyway
I must say I had one awesome moment with that thing. I needed some leopards so I took the paraglider over at the doctor's house and flew straight ahead to the leopard zone and I managed to let go and land just in that small water area over there
They killed me a couple of times too, so don't feel sorry for them

Anyone been playing on PS3? I saw that Digital Foundry's conclusion was pretty damning of its performance, but is it really that much of a hindrance? I'll still be watching for it to drop below £20 though.

so collecting these stuff is not actually pointless

You thought all these collectables were in the game for no reason? There are rewards for everything. Hell, even getting 10 relics will unlock a beastly shotgun.
That is correct. But I remember someone in this thread complaining that it's not worth the effort for just a few weapons every 'x' ammount of collectibles. At which I disagree because I like collecting stuff and being rewarded for it in the process is nice too. Some of these relics are quite well hidden by the way.

Level it off first when coming in to land. You'll get a prompt saying "Press E to land" or something like that. If you're reasonably level and close enough to the ground, you should drop and roll safely.
edit: nvm
...look at me giggling like a kid in a candy store.

What I don't understand about the camera: Why does the menu of it sometimes turn from white to yellow and when you take a picture it makes this "tribe"-"aaaah!". The same sound as when you collect the relics.
Just press E when it prompts you and you won't take damage.

If you land a glider right, you don't have to manually dismount; it does it for you. Just make sure you're going straight and reasonably slow toward reasonably flat ground: circle the area you're planning to land on until you get the right elevation.
Yes it can. I regularly stick it to the alarm pole in outposts.

Yea you're right I just tried it and it worked. 18 hours in and I'm still learning new stuff.
