Anybody getting it?
Anybody played the demo?
Gets excellent reviews across the board but I haven't seen that much blurb about it or hype.

I always carry the custom machine gun around with me, it's hella accurate and you very rarely run out of ammo because of the capacity. The secondary I either have an anti armour sniper or go for an anit tank rocket launcher.

The light machine gun's also pretty handy as you very rarely need to reload that thing.

I always carry either an SMG or Carbine on me and the second weapon I vary, but often it will be a Anti-Tank Rocket Launcher, a sniper rifle or just an RPG. I haven't used a shotgun yet though, I'll have to pick one up from the shop.

I tend to mostly set out with the M4 carbine and sniper rifle. I love sniping the pilots through the glass of their helicopters and watching the resulting crash. ;-)

At times thats even led to me being able to recover the vehicle and use it. ;-))

I tend to stick with the Chinese so the South Koreans don't like me much - which is fine by me. My cousin was laughing last night while a group of them attacked me. I killed the troops and shot up 2 of their scout vehicles and the third one didn't have a gunner, so he was trying to run me over. I was right near this steep hill, so as I was evading, I was using the hill to help make it difficult for the guy to run me down.

My cousin was like "man, if only you had a rocket launcher !" As he said this and the scout was circling back down the hill for another turn, I set up some C4 quick and started to back up. The stupid scout came at me like a demon possessed and BOOM ! A nice homemade land mine sends him several feet into the air and I'm left to look around at my handy work over the last few minutes. ;-)

I have about 2.5 million.

Next time I play through I think I'll get a chopper brought in and take a look at the mini-island just off the ace of diamond's island to see what's there.

It would be about 4.5 but I spent 2 million on flying choppers into suicide missions. :)

Ahaha, have you got quite a bit of money stored back then? I've got quite a bit waiting to be spent on more airstrikes. I keep using the odd bunker busters on the NK buildings, yesterday I completely flattened a farming village on the central island.

Cool, I really haven't made enough use of the helicopter's winch. I've just been doing the missions 80% of the time. Once I've got loads of weapons I'll probably muck about a bit more. I did at the start - I just levelled a mafia stronghold (and later their shop) because the main guy was such a bumbling fool. :)

Yep, they fire even when they are winched into the air, despite the fact their gun can't face vertically.

Also I love to dump the odd Chinese vehicle into the NK bases. I would pick on another faction but the Chinese vehicles are the only ones I can pick up with the NK helicopter. So that's their problem. :D

I like the mental NK gunners who keep firing at you despite their vehicle being flipped upsidedown.

I love sniping the NK Scout drivers as they go past, the gunner in the back just stands there going, 'Buh?'

If you don't fancy replaying it afterwards, I'll take it off your hands. ;)
