65. Dropping onto a shark from 100 feet into the air is the only proper way to kill it. No knife needed

66. You can Double-Takedown-From-Above from a wingsuit or glider; If you do this, you have just achieved the best systematic FPS gameplay ever.  
 
67. Any time your character holds his weapon closer to him behind any type of cover, that means that you are in cover state; but it also means you can dynamically shoot out of your cover above you, or to the left/right, by pressing AIM(iron sights) or Shoot(blindfire); the best FPS cover system ever made.

81) All weapon shops are run by the same old lady, which must mean that you're not the only one that can fast travel on the island.

82. The only difference between boars and pigs is that boars tend to face to the left.

#78 Posted by KimChi4U (367 posts) - 6 months, 3 days ago

98. You can kill every damn soldier in a base but you will not liberate it if that dog, who must hold some sort of military rank, is still alive.

99. Your posse of Rakyat warriors seem to always show up after you liberate a base, not before.

100. Stumbling across an empty vehicle, a dead person, and package of medicine means that you will make it just in time to deliver the supplies, no matter how long that vehicle sat there.

101. Rabid dogs must be put down with rpgs and flamethrowers, according to the locals.

#79 Posted by Stealthmaster86 (463 posts) - 6 months, 1 day ago

#81 Posted by fox01313 (4760 posts) - 5 months, 29 days ago

104. The idea hunting by standing on top of the Jeep worked so great in Red Dead Redemption (with the horse drawn carriages) as animals will at least have trouble getting to you. Unless you drive it into the water & stand on the wrecked vehicle as it won't help with sharks.

105. There's always going to be a hill that clearly looks like something you can climb but if you can't, avoid hitting the jump button as you will jump back quite a lot.

109. Sand and Water mixed together is mud.

#86 Posted by jerseyscum (634 posts) - 5 months, 21 days ago

110. Master the bow. It's a guaranteed stealth kill and a rocket launcher in the same package.

#87 Posted by Milkman (14224 posts) - 5 months, 21 days ago

111. Hunting leopards with a bow almost always goes poorly.

#88 Posted by MariachiMacabre (5621 posts) - 5 months, 21 days ago

111. Fire arrows don't actually light anything on fire, and actually do less damage than regular arrows. It's basic chemistry.

#89 Posted by Phoenix778m (226 posts) - 5 months, 19 days ago

112. You can reset your thumb; dig a bullet out of your arm; douse flames with your hands. But you cannot piss on yourself to alleviate a Jelly Fish sting. You will get stung.

#90 Posted by Phoenix778m (226 posts) - 5 months, 19 days ago
@ESREVER really the night/day system is dependent on your movement? Interesting...
#91 Posted by curry_chips (4 posts) - 5 months, 18 days ago

113. A quick way of reaching the top of a tower is by crashing a hang glider onto the top level of it. May only be possible from certain locations, but definitely works in some spots. Aeronautics is your friend.

#92 Edited by OfficeGamer (1029 posts) - 5 months, 17 days ago

114. Jason is in fact Nomad's long lost son. His previous life as an idiotic partying teenage moron reflected the weak stupid linear games of the open-world-tropical-paradise universe (released in the last 5 years) such as Far Cry 2 and Crysis 2. His transformation into a badass was him finding his long-gone father's true path, the path of Crysis, the path of truly open world, intelligent AI and absolute player freedom to manipulate the AI and create random unique scenarios on the go. Far Cry 3 is Jason's finding of Nomad's lifestyle and embracing it. The son has finally returned and he did NOT disappoint.. Crysis is Far Cry 2 and Far Cry 3 is FC3 ;)

#93 Posted by Mercer (164 posts) - 5 months, 17 days ago

115. That island is as good as mine

#94 Posted by NinjaBerd (189 posts) - 5 months, 5 days ago
