Just started this tonight, enjoying it so far. The music is great too.
Bow and arrows is the way forward!
This
My standard loadout was the 1887 shotgun, recurve bow, silenced MP5 and a silenced M-700. The Recurve and M-700 fill similar rolls as the silenced long range killer though the silenced M-700 made things a little trivial with the ability to just 1 shot enemies from almost any range in the head and stay un-detected.
And because I don't have the 'Heavy Takedown' skill I'd usually be stumped when it came to them. Swapped the shotgun for the M-133 Bull signature (gonna try the Handcannon out instead) and the Sniper Rifle for something with sheer power. Its range, damage and accuracy bars are full so what you shoot at, it dies. I read the description and thought 'Hell yes'
The M-700 sounds weak with its little 'pff' from the silenced shot compared to the defeaning ring from the Z-93.

Now I know what I want for Christmas
anyone know what the music is from in the intro, i dl'ed the music but the intro isn't in it, just like it as gf hates it, as she knows as soon as she hears me singing it, she won't see me for a few hours, 4+ or more 
the whole sound track i thought would have had the intro in it
but no guessed wrong

Pretty sure the into bit is Paper Planes by MIA.
Just completed 1 of Hurks missions involving the clearing out of quite a large camp of enemies... that just happened to be surrounded by cliffs and peppered with explosive barrels. Sat on a the hill luring 1 of the guards out with rocks before jumping on him with a takedown from above, then causing mass panic by blowing up a barrel with my bow (starting to get better at it from long range now). Moment enemies grouped together they'd be blown up with an Explosive Arrow, then when it came to the last few stragglers I started picking them apart with the Z-93. Its funny watching the body go flying backwards when you shoot them in the face
Also the patrols are good fun. From a high vantage point as a car drove past I managed to take out the gunner, the driver AND blow the car up with a single bullet Just took out a patrol boat from what must've been 200m+ by killing the driver and setting it on fire with 1 shot. Not gonna go back to a silenced sniper rifle any time soon I think. The bow is far more enjoyable for that and the sheer power of the Z-93 is insane.
Just unlocked the 'Shredder' too, a heavily modded, silenced Vector .45 ACP. Came in handy for the Bear Hunt w/ SMG I came across. Realised that you don't need to do it with the weapon they supply so long as you use one of the same class. So I didn't have to hunt bears with an unmodded Skorpion thankgod

That's the one I got the other day. Finding it very good - big clip and decent damage
I'm hating the mission I'm on though...
One of the dream state bits... Lots of ghosts of Vaas running at me. Where I have a crappy smg and no time to reload/heal between enemies half the time :/
Massively more difficult than the rest of the game on Hard...

I a just starting with FarCry3. With my 4.4Ghz i5 and 7950 I only seem to get 40 fps. That is running 1080p with the optimal settings. I thinks everything is on high with 4 menu items on very high (not sure which ones right now - they are the only ones that go to very high though). I am using 12.11 b4 but can't use the latest 12.11 b11 as it makes my computer crash.
Anyone got any some good settings to get me up to 60fps?

Only way ive been able to get rid of the juddering is to set everything to high using custom settings, dx11 and frame skip set to 1.
I was getting around 55-60 fps on ultra settings but the juddering was doing my head in. Until they patch it for this issue i dont think it will improve and my rig is hardly underpowered so its not me causing the problem.
To be honest i think they will try to fix it asap as they seem to be patching this game regularly unlike ghost recon.
Gents - need assistance from those in the know. I've been trying to increase the size of my wallet, lootsack etc but most of all I've been trying to get an additional weapon slot or two by crafting holsters. I understand I need to obtain goat skins to do this and for the past two hours I've been scouring the areas near to Dr Earnhardt's mansion and also the first town you arrive at where you can 'apparently' find goats. I've yet to catch even a fleeting glimpse of these elusive creatures.
Any tips on how to find them?.

Just keep looking I guess :/
I've usually stumbled across some after 5-10 minutes at a guess? Not sure if there is any ways of making it more likely to find them.
Think there is a syringe for being able to spot the animals through walls and such to make them easier to find which may help however.

Sounds like your having a similar issue that i had. Either finish your mission or go to your next mission and complete it. My game had a weird glitch where all the animals in the game disappeared.
The animals are not that hard to find. It definitely wouldnt take longer than a few minutes looking around the area they are supposed to be in.
Hope this helps in some way
