No you can't rid of Malaria.  It's a story element.  Besides you only suffer the effects, what?  Twice a day at that?  Just pop your unlimited pills and keep on trucking.

To get a sniper, just do the arms dealer missions.  I think you only get weapons in specific order so just keep doing the missions.

And the consequences of your actions pretty much halt after you beat the current mission.  Killing a buddy has about zero impact on the game's story except you won't see that buddy again!

Can you actually drop dead from Malaria if you don't take the pills?

I have to say, this game is quite.... 'Progressive'.
This game has really tried to experiment with things we have never really seen before, the malaria, gun-jamming and healing systems are quite new, the sheer length or the game, as well as it's size is very impressive. And of course, I believe this is one of the first games to cover Africa in such a light, with the factions facing off against each other and diamonds as currency.

It may not be perfect, but we have to experiment to keep forwarding gameplay in video games.

I believe you can, yeah. And the damn thing always strikes at the worst of times.

gun jamming is new?

Man I thinkk I mus have imagines S.T.A.L.K.E.R then.

Well, that's my point. As much as I knew Stalker had gun-jamming, Far-Cry 2 was being sold to a muuuuch broader audience and sold a lot more copies... The move was a lot riskier for Ubisoft.
And isn't really Stalker in Africa for these main two reasons: Any RPG elements that Stalker had are not present and the world is continious, rather than having areas with load screens between each area.

lol, riskier.

I jokingly mentioned in the Far Cry 2 topic we had last month that the game was STALKER for casuals.

I liked the direction they were going and half the time I had fun but the other half was just boring and repetitive.  Yes, the weapon degradation system is ridiculous because enemy guns pretty much fall apart when you pick them up but the enemy never has a problem using them with their infinite ammo.  Also, new guns you use will degrade after four or five clips so extended firefights get pretty lame.

I also hate how, and this applies to nearly every first person shooter and I still can't believe in this day and age it still happens, enemies are pumped up on morphine or something.  You shoot someone in the chest and they take it like a man.  Empty a clip in a guy's leg and he doesn't even limp; hell, he hardly flinches.  Also, enemy AI is random as hell.  Sometimes they'll actually pull off some crafty flanking maneuvers and good use of grenades but other times they'll literally stand 5 feet away from you and just stand there... doing... nothing.  One guy was standing in front of a jeep and I was shooting him in the leg to see how many shots it would take to kill him and I must have been shooting him for a minute but he did nothing.

Admittedly, vanilla STALKER sucked horribly and the game didn't become great until the 1.05 patch followed by the excellent Oblivion Lost mod which added stuff like repairing, modified ballistic trajectory, and vehicles.  The level editor is pretty fun but since this is a multiconsole/pc release, I doubt if it's very modding friendly.  With the exception of the Elder Scroll series which has always supported modding, I don't remember Ubisoft releasing SDK's or toolkits that allow easy modding.  This game would be awesome if someone who actually knew what they were doing fine tuned everything Ubisoft glossed over.

why does this have the photos tag.

is it that hard to dig up SHOOTER or GAMES.

the name made up of random letters and numbers and the signature links aroused suspicion but his post didn't contain any links to outside sources and wasn't advertising converting real money for world of warcrack dollars so i just assumed it was a dude asking a legit question?

far cry 2, believe it or not, doesn't have any faqs on gamefaqs sooooo...

who advertises clawfoot tubs on a gaming forum legitimately man.
