Hehe, no way. I started on friday, have played for 15 hours already and according to the stats ingame I am 33% done. It should tale me 45 hours then, which is decent. I have not done all the side missions either, so it might be more. I have been doing alot of missions for the gunshops, which doesnt drive the story forward, it just gives you more toys. (I really want that mortar, hehe) And I just learned in the Ubisoft forums that the map is actually twice the size I thought it was. The latter half is unlocked at some point. That means its a HUGE area to shoot up.

The game is not a revolution, but IMO its clearly an evolution. 100% freedom never gets old, hehe.

Pro`s:

*Looks as good as anything all cranked up (Crysis looks a little bit better, but this game can actually be run by current hardware and the theatre is alot more interesting)
*Sneaky AI
*Enough diversity in the landscape to make hiking fun
*Great music and enviromental sounds
*Lots of guns
*"Realistic" ammo amount (Three mags for assault rifles, f.i.) You can run out of ammo really fast
*Total freedom within the area
*You gain buddies - or fellow mercenaries - who help you out if you look after them (freedom here too, if you want to you can kill them, which I did once because of paranoia, haha)
*Weapons jam and misfire when they get old and rusty
*Hanggliders!
*Safe houses where you can stock guns and equipment
*Fire. This is THE coolest tactical effect I have seen. If the wind is right you can fire a flare round over an enemy camp, and watch as the flames roar back towards you and burn the camp. The AI will run around screaming while ammo piles go off sending bullets everywhere

Cons:

*Sometimes all the travelling gets boring, but there are bus stations as well
*Enemy patrols in jeeps that come out of nowhere and crash into you (too frequently, but I guess this is because Ubisoft are afraid of boring the youngsters)
*Enemies (and player) can be hit too many times. Rifles take down bad guys in one shot, usually, but I once hit a guy with at least 30 rounds from a silenced MP5 and he was still crawling around moaning
*Not enough gore. There is a gush of blood, but no marks on the bodies.
*Not enough is destructible.


All in all its a great game, and I cant wait for some realism mods.

Cool! In the beginning I flinched everytime a bush moved, half expecting a lion or something. This will add alot to the suspense.

There is bulletholes on the bodies, they just disappear after a second or so. I wish I'd knew how to open them .dat files as I'm sure this could be easily fixed. :hmm:

Really? Wow, maybe I should stop Dragunov`ing everybody and get myself a Mac 10 or UZI.

I hope its easy to mod, because this is a game I could play for ages if they added some few enhancements. First of all I would like the AI to miss more, myself to endure less, and the enemy to go down if hit by anything anywhere. Maybe not die by a 9mm in the leg from a distance, but at least go down and scream. The silenced MP5 is useless, its like using a paintball gun.

Arma with these graphics, drooooool.

And the performance vs look is impressive. Dunia(?) is a great graphics engine.

I would also like the fires to last longer. I want it all to burn!
