I like the driving in the game and its fun but when your targets are on the other side of the map each time, it starts to get annoying driving somewhere, dealing with all the enemy in between then driving back again.

I NEED HELP! I can't find the stupid Diamonds, this is pretty much at the start, I rescued that woman and she said to meet her at the bar. So I went back to HQ and the guy told me some Diamonds are outside in a box and I could have them. I use the GPS and went everywhere, a few spots the light did turn solid but there was nothing around. Wow I suck lol.

When the light turns solid, walk in whichever direction you are facing. You'll find the case with the diamond in it.

it turns solid when I'm right by the barn wall, there's nothing in front of me besides the wall. If I go to the other side of the wall the light's blinking again. I feel like an R-Tard because this should be super simple, I'm obviously not doing something right lol.

Saw that on another forum, i believe it was solved by turning off AA. (well that doesnt exactly solve the problem, i just remember thats what he did)

This works to a certain extent, when I 1st started playing AA was being forced by the CCC which is normal for me. But I did also turned it on with the game settings, after using the application control check box in the CCC and game AA I got the trees like in the screenshot. Now I have zero on in the game itself and using 4x AA in the CCC with box setting and its normal. So to sum it up dont use game AA and just force it on in the CCC if you get the issues I had and it should be fine.

Ok... I've played this game since afternoon today, and so far I do honestly really like it, it's quite epic, the immersion effect is certainly very well executed, but oh my God the crashes are such a turn off, tell me guys I'm not the only one experiencing them? I've had three so far, each times occurring after around two hours of game-play, just randomly happening. And all of the crashes didn't even send me to the Desktop (so I guess it's not a "CTD" per se).
No, it's a system crash, the last sound that played before the crash loops itself endlessly, my monitor goes black and its power light turns orange, and my system becomes entirely unresponsive, I had to hard-reset it. I would really like to resume playing, but I think I'll just leave it installed of course but I won't play it until a patch is released. I have tried running the game with default hardware frequencies as well just to make sure that my OC wasn't the cause, but the third crash I've had occurred while playing under default clocks, and all my drivers are WHQL (sound, video and chipset).
Dammit... I just wanted to play it. Looks like I'll go back playing TF2 for now heh... very frustrating indeed.

My thoughts on the game so far are meh, but this could change. Like others have said there is alot of driving you spend a tremendous amount of time traveling IMHO which is going to get old real fast.

world? you're exaggerating a bit there. Crysis does look better but nothing close to worlds. The reviews I'm seeing are giving FC2 about a 9 on graphics. I think in some instances FC2 is better, better looking weapons, and MUCH better looking fire and explosions. Also FC2 doesn't have lame faggoty aliens.
If I put Crysis's graphic settings to make them look like FC2's it will run much worse. Crysis at the lowest settings on my system doesn't run as well as FC2 at the highest. And at the highest FC2 looks better than Crysis did on my system on low settings...

- Maybe it happens only in my game, but magically disappearing vehicles is NOT fun. I "lost" two of them that way, one car, one jeep, both of them weren't used before, I'd presume so anyway. I used them some time, got out of them, walked around, lost them from my sight for some time, maybe five or ten minutes, I come back where I had left them, no signs, nothing, maybe getting there in a vehicle was a dream and I walked there on foot and I suddenly woke up while exploring (this point of course refers to what are certainly noticeable bugs that in my book should have been fixed before release, I don't want to experience another Clear Sky, please).
- Where are the wild animals? I haven't seen a single one so far, are they always at the same locations and aren't moving around the game world at all? It's more of a question than a complaint, but so far other than meeting angry humans I haven't seen a single Zebra or others, in other words, outside of the few Guard Posts battles I feel a little alone out there. But I guess that going in Africa in real like wouldn't mean that I'd meet any such animals each kilometers either, but who said that a video game had to be like real life huh?
- Have you guys seen any of the bad guys walking around just patrolling on roads and such? To me they seem very restricted and scripted in their "walkable zones", à-la S.T.A.L.K.E.R. (at least vanilla). So far I have met only one traveling bad guy in a car during night time which I believe I met by pure coincidence. If they do travel like that randomly then it's a good thing, but I would have liked to see that happen more often.
