    Crysis-like abilities (Boost jump)

    Man I wish we could have boost jump in this game. Wouldn't it be cool to be able to boost jump above an approaching car while aiming down and hoot it to pieces from the air? Could be a great game-play enhancement although I see some story-wise problems incorporating that into the game.

    Whats your thought?

    A boost jump woulden´t fit in the game ..... how you want to justify a boost jump in a game with lets say reasonable realistic movements . The only thing simular i could imagine is a jetpack or something like that wich you could get at some point of the game and when a car approaches you can give your jetpack a quick boost to jump over the car . But overall i think your idea is trash nonsense , no offence to you . Just wait for far cry 5 with dinosaur´s , vampires and zombies there you will have such a trash jump skill probably .

    And a permanent wingsuit and parachute are fine?

    Far Cry isn't about being realistic, well not since Crytek left the IP with Ubirobbers.

    I said reasonable realistic , a boost jump is to far off for me personaly sorry . Far Cry isen´t about realism ? Oh realy ? I thought after eating 20 bullets from a kalashnikov its np to pull out the bullets out of your arm with a stick . Thanks for your advice

    A jet pack doesn't really fit either. Some games have them but it's typically done in futuristic settings.

    What would be more fitting I think, and has been suggested in another thread and actually has been tested for 5 min intervals, is mini ankle mounted jet boosters for a wingsuit.



    As is you're lucky if you can get a 1 min wingsuit flight. Small jet boosters would considerably extend the glide and the length of your flight.

    There are also many styles of wingsuits, some with much greater wing area than others that are made for longer flights, but heavier and slower. http://www.wingsuitfly.com/phoenix-fly/4579382410

    They could have two types of suits. One that's lighter and faster, and one that's bigger and slower for longer flights. The bigger one would be more expensive, about twice as much, plus the jet boosters would cost twice as much as the big suit. You could have the big suit and the jet boosters unlocked via various ways. Either X number of miles logged on the regular wingsuit, or taking out lock-on rocket launcher emplacements, or just getting to a certain part in the campaign where there are harder to get to mission objectives. I'm talking about next Far Cry, not this one.

    Personally I think it's a bit strange that they have guided rocket launchers in this game, yet you can fly around in the Buzzer or Wingsuit and never worry about getting hit by them. Surely the Royal Army must have these weapons too. There a couple guys that fire rockets at you when you wingsuit down the canyon in Death From Above, but they just fire in a straight line and don't track your movement.

    The jet boosters would add not only an interesting dynamic to getting around, but also the struggle of dealing with any heat seeking weapons. Maybe you could also have access to a limited number of mini flares that you could drop while gliding via a remote control.

    Alls this thread does is make me want another Crysis game.

    Like I need a reason to want one any more than I already do.
