hold up, you can emp helicopters? game changer
Yeah, it's pretty awesome. I haven't yet gotten it to land so I can take it over though.
Still having a lot of fun with this game, on my 2nd character. The small DLC's (Inca Camina, Media Luna) are fun, and it's nice on a 2nd play-through to have them just incorporated as part of the game. Strange they don't/can't count towards completion though, but the little bit of extra game play is appreciated. I wonder if we'll get more mini-DLC in Monte Puncu and/or La Cruz?
I wonder if the actually big download DLC (Narco Road/Ghosts down or whatever) will take place there? Really curious how those will impact the game at large, as they're supposed to introduce more vehicles etc. I'm not sure if I'd prefer it to be it's own separate map, or built into the existing spaces. With Narco road being about infiltrating another Cartel, it wouldn't really make sense to be anywhere we've previously been, unless they somehow update the world to account for Santa Blanca being 'finished'. Not sure. Hope we hear something soon!
The simple-yet-complex game play cycle just has me hooked. Taking down an outpost, or a convoy, or whatever.. it's the same every time, but it's not. The enemy will scatter differently, maybe the help drops on top of the escort, maybe the helo flies away and never engages! Sometimes you can clear the base on full stealth, using just a pistol.. maybe you can sneak in and out undetected.. or maybe UNIDAD shows their damn face and you end up taking on multiple gunships just trying to get the SMG Compensator you'll-never-use-but-want-it-off-the-map..The game is this weird dichotomy of serene and intense. I love flying around and just admiring the visuals, but at the same time everything can go sideways in a second and it's super violent and awesome. Ahhh.
Some things I'd like to see (fixed & otherwise):
#1 Terrain/etc pop-in on Xbox One is really bad. I feel like it got worse with the 2.0 patch. I would like to see it fixed. Curious if it'll get a Scorpio patch, as the game can look fantastic on a high-end PC.
#2. Some of the low-poly models are laughably bad. I don't get why, as others are fine. On Xbox One, 600M seems to the mark it switches.
#3. I want them.. no I *NEED* them to add in a Class-A uniform under clothing options. It also better have a metric-ton of medals on it. Make it happen, UBISOFT.
#4. There are a lot of options for the HUD, but a number of them turn off TOO many things, which makes it hard to pick between them. For example, I would like to use no markers so the enemies don't get marked, but still be able to place a market on the map for directional use, as it's REALLY hard to get around and navigate without anything on-screen at all. It's do-able, but more frustrating than difficult, which isn't ideal. I would also appreciate a "markers while enemy is in LOS" setting, where as long as the enemy was in a team members LOS, they could remain marked, disappearing once they go behind cover/etc. For coordination, I feel some level of markers is needed, since almost every Santa Blanca fighter looks identical "
That one, over there, with the sub-machine gun, by the stack of tires." Also, turning off Ammo counter means you can't see what equipment you have selected, which makes it unusable.
#5. I would actually like it if they changed it so you could only change your weapon load out at ammo boxes (or a rebel base). Or at least make that an option. It's useful to switch guns at a moments notice, but it would be nice to have options.
#6. Vehicle and/or On foot controls being different. I usually remove the crosshairs since I don't need them on foot (I'm not spraying and praying), but then if I get in a vehicle with a weapon, I have no idea where I'm aiming (since it's ONLY over-the-shoulder/3rd person aiming). Would be nice to have a toggle for one or the other (or both). Maybe be able to tweak sensitivity for both as well.
#7. This is for GRW2 or whatever, but make camo count. Give us a visibility meter. Where standing on top of a ridge at noon wearing a white tank top, yellow cone on your head, shooting off a flare would be a "100".. maybe wearing appropriate camo in the shadows would bring you down to a 40 or something. Would be nice if this was optional as well, not everyone wants to have to worry about changing outfits.
