Originally this was going to be the first part of a series of blog posts where I play the role of Team Fortress 2's Heavy after being dumped into a variety of games. I decided to start off with Far Cry 2 because this game, at least, has shotguns. All was going according to plan - Playing the Russian sounding character and waltzing through the few early missions with relative impunity.
But then I ran into a problem: I got my hands on my first sniper rifle.
Sniping in FarCry 2 is a delicious affair, where if you do it correctly (and many a time I haven't) and find yourself a vantage point where you can see the whole enemy militia post you can carefully provide its' residents with lead poisoning before they even know you're there. The best part is that you can do it from several hundred meters away.
My favourite vantage point whilst assaulting the Police Station was a tall tree hanging over a river. I sniped everybody and was patting myself on the back as I jumped out of the tree into the river. Only then realising that the river, in fact, was more of a brook.
Crunch.
