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.
