Definitely a force field then, presumably a flicker one tuned to the
weapon's fire rate to allow the bullets to pass through ;-)
Thinking about it though if you did project a force field around a
helicoptor (or aeroplane for that matter) would it still fly? I presume if
an object hits it then all energy is absorbed or redirected so you
wouldn't rattle around like a ice-cube in a glass?

OK, I just spent, like, 20 minutes slowly battling my way through the
next section. Finally I make it to the place where I'm supposed to go,
and I get killed.
Guess where the last checkpoint is?
No, really, guess.
Yeah, that's right. The entire 20-minute advanture is now precisely as
if it never happened at all. I've got to do the entire thing all over again.
I am *not* happy. In fact, screw it, I'm not playing any more Farcry
tonight. It took me *ages* to get through that lot alive, and I am *not*
going through the whole damn thing again. Not today.

20 minutes?! It took me around 1 to 2 hours... But I survived! ;)
Hit the key left of '1' to bring up the console. Type: save_game
Do this when you know it's going to get hairy-scary!

But don't give up Andrew. Apart from Crysis, it's one of the best games
ever! (And yes, FarCry2 is coming out fairly soon too). I think after the
river level, it's all land, up hills and down dales, and oooh boy, you'll
like that! :)
Damn, I want to play the whole thing myself again now! (But if I do that,
I won't get any work done). :o/

One of the first things I did after installing it was to bind save_game
to one of the function keys :)

I'm not even going to install it. Last time I just installed it to see what
the graphics looked like on my new system, and then I ended up playing it
through to the end again!

Wait - I thought you *can't* save the game except where it lets you save?

*You* can't. It's one of those cheats you hate. *g*
But if you want....
~ to bring up the console, then type save_game

Which makes you wonder why it exists at all. For testing and demo purposes
you're going to want level warps and AI toggles, but a save_game command
smacks to me of a developer getting fed-up of trudging between sections to
test things out. Good enough for them, not good enough for us :-P

Well, not really, at least not in FarCry and Crysis because in both
editors 1 and 2, you can set your camera speed to whatever you want. 1 is
default and anything above that doubles incrementally (I think). Well, at
least, 5 is fast enough to shoot you over to the other side of a 4048x4048
map in no time at all.
In FarCry though, I think it was a user that developed the save_game
code, not sure about Crysis yet.
