LGR Plays - Far Cry
video description
A few things to note is that those bad guys aren't blind. The ones in the tower can easily spot you if you run down the beach, they're in a frickin tower with a sniper rifle. A normal human with eyes would see anyone on the beach from that perspective.
Furthermore, if they spot you they will call their nearby mates to assist, you can see them waving and pointing and screaming if they see you.
Also, AI hears sounds. If you shoot your gun or ride a noisy vehicle, they will obviously hear that and go investigate. Same goes for the alarm, if one of the AI guys triggers it, it alarms all the guys in the base.
The trick of this game is to play with that sound and the environment. Hide in bushes and trow rocks to tell the AI to investigate somewhere else. You will be fascinated by how the AI works. Some will search around the area in patterns after they have heard some noises, while some others will stay behind to keep the base protected. The alarm in the first level will also call in a helicopter. If you prevent the alarm from being triggered, no helicopter will come and it will make life a bit easier. In later levels the AI can call in helicopters via radio, if you destroy this radio no helicopters will come either. This game isn't meant to be played like any other shooter by just gunning down everyone you meet. It's meant to be played tactically, think of attack strategies and search for the best routes to your goal.
And yes, I agree there are flaws. The shooting through walls at the tents is a glitch from the last patch which was never fixed. The vehicle driving is clunky. Furthermore, this game had a strict deadline, so some of the stuff isn't perfect, but it's a great game for what it has to offer.

I plainly observe in this whole video that you are asking to be shot. Lie prone in the bushes. Do not use the straight approach to the enemy camp, learn that many enemy boats do have rocket launchers, you may take the jeep along the sandy beach.
The camp is made of tents mostly so just luck shooting into them when they saw you hiding there sounds very reasonable to me.
The AI has flaws but most of the time it works well. Note the detection meter. You can alert the enemies and then run run run for a hiding. Track them with the binocs and later the thermal scanner, and you can lure the enemies into traps where you simply headshot them while they are looking into the bushes.
This is not Duke Nukem where you just run and gun the baddies. Keep your ass low, hide as much as possible, and observe before shooting: For my taste still a terrific game and I enjoy playing this at -challenging- setting these days.

fun fact about seeing seen through walls and in cover 2398789 miles away and for anyone who has experienced it or hasn't played Far Cry yet and finds it off-putting: the last patch for the game completely broke the game and made it where the AI actually can see through walls, or more like they just _don't_ see the walls at all. Luckily, the fine People of the internet have provided a fix for this that can be found with a little bit of searching on Steam, as well as a fix for the FOV and a way to create your own save games through the console so you don't have to rely on the checkpoint system.
The game is still gonna kick your ass, though.

I literally got this game at a thrift store. When I was 6 or 7 I played the crap out of the tutorial, Because I thought it was the whole game. Because of the aimbot AI. But Soon as I learned the tactic of camping under a desk at a outpost and killing everything I was able to progress. When the Trigens showed up I had my headphones on in a dark room playing the game. I quite Enjoyed Jumping out of my chair and freaking out that there was mutant monsters being experimented on. I thought the whole time it was just bad mercenaries, But later realized that the monsters where hinted in the introduction video. Fun game game overall 10/10.

Biggest flaw this game has: its AI. Graphics are decent and I don't really mind the fact that the first game in the series is not an open-world FPS but just a regular one with really big levels which give you some liberty in how to approach the enemies, or flank them. No, those things are fine. But the AI is god awful, they can see you a mile away, and their bullets pass through solid objects more often than not. They can see you even when you're not in their line of sight. I had to play this game on EASY or else I wouldn't have passed even the first levels. And it still was really difficult to complete.

I never liked the game, but you are being a bit unfair to it regarding AI. You go all guns blazing, the enemy can see and hear you. If you shoot, they can hear you, if you run, same. Bullets can go through a tent, etc.
The game is basically forcing you to play as stealthy as you can. That's why the player should use the binoculars a lot and the -radar-/sensors to see where the enemy is and more importantly if they are aware of your location.
I still don't like the game. FC2 pwns it IMO.

Chaotic is fun but you have to go slower and stay hidden in this game. Kill the one who can see you, then move in. In real life, if you walk in front of 3 guys with guns and start shooting you would get killed just as fast. At the end you walked up in front of the ship on white sand while a bunch of guys are up top keeping a lookout. They'd see you, easily. Have you played the much newer Rainbow 6 Vegas 2? Now they will shoot you from across the map and though a fence, with a shotgun even!

i got this back on boxing day one year from best buy for $10 (probably close to the time it originally came out) and i loved the graphical style and vibrant colour. -woah- is right, it was a great intro to start in that dark bunker and walk out to see the jungle below and the cyan blue water out to the horizon. i got far cry 2 for 360 a few years ago and was sorely disappointed by the change of setting, and the gameplay didn't really hook me. i need to get around to crysis sometime soon

That's very true, but still, I do feel like their graphics are more superior to each other in different ways (if that sentence makes any sense. I like animations more in HL2, they look a bit more realistic than in Far Cry. But I do like most of the textures of HL2 more than the textures in Far Cry, many HL2 graphics seem a bit. symmetrical and that doesn't make it really realistic in my opinion (even if the textures are great. They also have different atmospheres going on.

I wrote mods for this game back in the day (now I do STALKER and Crysis mods. The AI doesn't cheat per se - it's just not what you expect from a game. The enemies alert each other once they detect you and attempt to either blind-fire in your direction or move closer. Loud sounds like grenades and rifle shots will travel farther than other attacks. Also tents offer only concealment, not cover. Different materials can be penetrated to different extents with different guns.
