    [SUGGESTION] GRW Not utilizing the best part of the game. Here me out.

    Ok so Ive played this game a lot. Ive wandered through its deserts, forests, jungles, mountain tops etc. The games massive environment is fantastic with lush greenery, swamps, ruins, abandoned buildings/bases. The game has all of these beautiful "wild" locations that us players can trek to but, there is no way to interact or play in these environments. All of these areas that are lacking fauna or enemies are just "space".

    So I have tried hunting out in the forests and whilst fun for a moment, again, the game really lacks fauna. When its encountered, it feels like you can run up and knife it haha. Why do the cross bow bolts not really work on them either? They just run off.
    Can the vast landscapes be fitted with more "aware" fauna. It would be nice to have a variety of game available to hunt in all these locations where there is virtually nothing.
    The game is called wildlands but all these engagements we have with cartel or unidad are in towns, bases, etc.

    Which brings me to my second suggestion, a distress call. Again I enjoyed exploring this world and loved seeing all these ruins hidden in the "wildlands" and I think to myself this would be an awesome place for a fire fight. Just like youve given us flares to draw near enemies to, could you give us a radio to call in a distress call that would have a dozen or so infantry scout the area? There is so much of this beautifully crafted land that we can not enjoy, unless youre sight seeing. yippie.

    Thats it. Thank you for your time. I hope you can make the world more interactive as its a shame this gorgeous land is going to waste.

    Thanks for letting us know you'd like to see more of the wilderness used! However, I don't anticipate too much emphasis on hunting/animals in the future. That would be a fairly substantial new feature to add.

    In terms of the distress call, I'm not sure what the utility of this would be, beyond setting up a conflict anywhere on the map. I personally feel that I sometimes draw SB/Unidad pretty far away from inhabited areas without even meaning to - and I stumble across more random Unidad patrols than I can count, lol.

    You guys GOTTA get the Devs to add a golfing mini-game! That golf course in P.N. Agua Verde is just to sick to go to waste!

    And a fishing mini-game would be dope too!

    And a hunting mini-game!

    In fact, Wildlands’ environments are so gorgeous that you could remove the enemies and re-purpose it for just about any type of game!

    I for one appreciate the fact that the team doesn't have to worry about any wildlife whatsoever while moving about the map - human-life is enough thank you very much ...

    But imagine if you RIDE THE WILD ANIMALS!

    Charge into a Unidad base while riding a cow all coked-out after grazing in a coca-field!

    Yes that would be the exact point of the distress call, as stated in my post. You dont really have the luxury of exploring while trying to lure Cartel or Unidad with you through the environment. Sure if you run from them you can end up in random areas and maybe theyll still be following but most of the time they quit, and to have to lure enemy forces X Kms into the jungle or up mountains etc is a pain in the ***. Also please, random unidad posts? You mean the 2-4 troops standing around a vehicle? Yea theyre out there but theyre not as plentiful as you make them sounds, plus thats a max 10 second engagement if you draw it out. You cant have extended engagements with Cartel because as soon as theyre killed they give up. Never mind I guess there are too many unidad and cartel teams of two in the forests to even consider having a distress call to bring infantry to a specific area. I give up. Ill go infiltrate and kill the same bases/towns for 400 more hours and ignore all the wild lands because there are too many random unidad posts in the wilds already.

    A game has to be true to its genre I think, and as GR is primarily a tactical shooter and not a hunting/survival game it should focus on that.
