Oh, SURE, because 15 guys with rocket launchers might somehow all 
simultaneously miss me. :-P

It's certainly a lot different to, say HalfLife.

In HalfLife, you methodically worth through a room at a time, killing 
everything inside. (And almost everything killable makes enough racket 
that you can tell when you're alone or not.)

In FarCry, there generally aren't any "rooms". And even if there are, 
people tend to wander around and follow you. The number of times I've 
gone somewhere, killed everything, started looking around for ammo and 
stuff and some guy has crept up from somewhere and frightened the living 
daylights out of me!

Similarly, in many places in FarCry, killing *everything* would be 
absurdly difficult, and your best bet is actually to sneak past without 
firing a shot.

For example, the first time I played it, the second island with the 
radio antenna was really hard. There's snipers and guys with rocket 
launchers and all the rest of it. But then I reinstalled Windoze, and 
had to play again from the beginning. This time, I swam underwater to 
the *back* of the island, killed the three people guarding that end, and 
blew up the radio tower. The snipers and rocket boys never even took a 
shot at me. ;-)

There seems to be quite a few points in the game where you can take... 
obscure routes to improve your odds significantly.

How old is this game BTW? The foliage rendering is quite impressive, but 
many other things about the game look a little low-tech. (E.g., 
character movements, the cutscenes, etc.)

BTW... sticky ladders, much?!

Uh... If it's a new game, then I doubt that a puny little GeForce 7900GT 
is sufficiently powerful to run it.
