    You haven't picked up an OICW yet? I might be wrong, (it's some time 
since I've played FC, I'm in Crysis mode atm - wait till you play this 
game!), but look for a guard tower on top of a 'high' hill. If you have to 
go back, then do that for the OICW. It's worth it. It's a powerful rifle 
with a good hit score. Two or three rounds instead of ten bullets+ to kill 
with the AK47. Of course, the Sniper rulez if you're clever enough, and I'm 
sure you are.  :)

    Of course! Because it's a GOOD game! You have to do the distance to 
realise this.

      Go hide behind that tree if you haven't done it already.  :)

Ah-hah... palm tree FTW!

OK, I *finally* got off that part where I've been stuck for the past 3 
days. Yay.

Oh, neat. That's not the end. There's even more. And now I have *four* 
choppers and several patrol boats chasing me down the river. Superb! o_O

The part with Crow and the helecopter was chapter 14. There are 20.

Get off the river. It's safer to walk than use a boat.

      Oh, that's a good level, yes, definately walk/stealth it.

I got stuck on that bit for ages too, I hid inside the boat at the top, then 
took shots out the side doors with the rocket launcher.  If you hit the 
helicopter enough times before the boat sinks then it will fly away.

GAH! o_O

OK, so I'm actually nowhere near the end. I wonder just how hard this 
game is going to get... heh. The underground temple was pretty damn 
hard. [Night vision is great, but only for a few seconds...]

I was beginning to get that impression, yes.

[Like that time where you're supposed to use the hang glider. I found 
that every time I touch that thing, I get shot to ribbons. Much better 
to creep through the jungle...]

Ah good to see realism alive and well in video games; 14 direct hits from  
a RL and *then* it gets damaged. Does it have force fields or something?

    Heh, that particular chopper may well have a force field, well, no it 
didn't, but it was a silly ending to that level really. They could have cut 
to a cutscene where the chopper does get damaged and starts to fall, and 
then you see Crow (still alive, and possibly injured), being picked up by 
his mercs in a boat and then make their escape. End of level.

Even better is the dude standing in the doorway of the helicopter who 
manages to stay alive while 5 rockets hit him in the face.
