FC4 doesn't, and I'm at a loss how to resume, though I've been engrossed in side missions to this point. I don't consider this bad, it's just a radical departure in focus.<br /><br /> I'm finding I can easily make >50% of my enemy kills with the bow, by methodically sneaking around the periphery of the action. The fire arrows make taking out heavies very easy (haven't tried the explosive ones yet except on rhinos, where they had no discernible effect) My loadout is generally all suppressed/silent (sniper rifle, "warrior" assault rifle, "stinger" smg + bow). I have used the "D2" (double-barrel sawed off shotgun) and "cannon" (magnum revolver with optical sight) sidearms, they can be effective in CQB, though the "stinger" surpasses both and is often undetected, unlike the two loud bangers. I've also used the suppressed m4 battle rifle, it is much more accurate than the assault rifle though of course less useful in panic situations.<br /><br /> There's considerable variety in the side missions and most are easy enough to complete two or three during an hour session. I suppose that means they aren't very challenging.<br /><br /> There are ample surprise challenges though, ranging from wandering wildlife to enemy counter-attacks on captured outposts, which can be a real challenge with the wrong loadout (must remember to make better use of exploding & fire arrows, and replenish body armour).<br /><br /> Steering vehicles is dicey on a good day.<br /><br /> Scenery is still awesome. Now I've done all the outposts and bell towers in the first part, I'm itching to move on to the second (haven't essayed any forts as yet).</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42251.57&return_msg=42251.56" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42251.57"> <span class="rating">+1/1</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42251_58"></a><div class="message" id="message_42251_58"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: Manthorp<span class="message_time">13 Dec 2018 11:13</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 13 Dec 2018 15:53"></span></span> <span class="message_count">58 of 211</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42251.58">42251.58</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42251.56#a42251_57" target="_self">42251.57</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Isn't the current campaign mission marked on the map?

The second one involved racing back and forth across a temple complex to shoot mostly undefended bomb-planters in the back (often with seconds to spare), or simply run up and do a knife takedown. The enemy attackers were not at all coordinated in support of the bomb-planters, but arrived in waves, ran about, and directed fire at me opportunistically, mostly missing (though I did use several health shots). If just two or three planted themselves behind cover and laid down a raking fire, they could have had a perfect kill zone and prevented me from criss-crossing the complex to attack their bombers.<br /><br /> FC3 showed a progression in enemy tactical sophistication, and I'm hoping that will be the case with 4.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42251.61&return_msg=42251.56" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42251.61"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42251_62"></a><div class="message" id="message_42251_62"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: graphitone<span class="message_time">14 Dec 2018 20:59</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 15 Dec 2018 00:19"></span></span> <span class="message_count">62 of 211</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42251.62">42251.62</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42251.56#a42251_61" target="_self">42251.61</a></div> <div class="message_body"> I've just done the temple defense mission, I took a slightly different tack.
