    Hour of Darkness Game Goofs...

    I just started playing the game and noticed the very first scene where we are a POW and the VC are interrogating a soldier identifying himself as a Sargeant. The goof right off the bat is his rank patch on his sleeve is of a Specialists not Sargeant. Being a former soldier in the Army that caught my eyes as something wrong. Now wonder what else besides the bow and arrow wrong for the period.

    Vietcong heavy gunners using M60Vs!

    It seems all the more absurd when you think that the PKM was in the previous two Far Cry games, and would at least be chronologically credible.

    My friend I play the game with is an actual Vietnam vet and the bow IS accurate if not it's modern style they used. He complained about the vegetation not being in the right location and how other things weren't accurate LOL it's really funny to have someone whom was actually there point out all the issues from hs perspective.
    You know what made him happy?
    The M-16 LOL he was a grease monkey specialist.
    He told me a time where he was being escorted when gunfire made him jump out of the cab and hide inside the blood body near the transmission to keep from being hit or that one time some moron wore his rank while lining up the troops (he was a fresh Lieutenant) and was sniped. Oh the stories he told me.
