is far cry 2 supposed to be this hard?

Hi, I completed the tutorial missions and started the first act. The very first mission has me go the dessert, but I can't even get there. First of all it is FAR away and by the time I get there I encounter patrolling gaurds in jeeps, upscale looking gaurd posts or slum like guard posts at every intersection, and all of them will attack me. Are they all supposed to be attack me? I was thinking maybe it was becuase I was in an armed jeep, am I supposed to be taking one of the cars instead of the jeeps? I can't make it the dessert I get my ass kicked in the journey itself. :frown:

You can't really just rush down roads without worrying about the intersections. You'll probably want to approach intersections on foot, or go around them far off the road, if possible. To get out to the desert oasis, take that jeep off road; that's the neat part of this game, in my opinion, all the terrain is yours to explore. You pick how and when you want to complete tasks given to you.

Yeah, this game is a drastically different pace than I'm used to right now. I've just finished several weeks of medium to fast paced FPS titles; BF:BC, GOW2, COD:WaW, Mirror's Edge and L4D. This game is a bit slower with more of a focus on the story. It's getting a little old travelling long distances between missions, though. According to the save screen I'm 12% complete with the game and I'd say a solid 50% of the game is driving and looking at a map.

What is the purpose of the manuals? Also can someone link me to a buying guide, I have no clue what stuff I should be buying I have over 45 diamonds and haven't bought anything yet (cept for that first gun they make you buy).

It doesn't matter what you buy... by the end of the game you will have purchased everything and still have a billion diamonds left.

If you like snhiepr rifles but those. If you like things that go boom buy those.
