Yeah, all those merc actions are scripted and done at random. It's even funnier when they do them in the wrong sequence or in a place that's not appropriate. I think I remember seeing one do the cord pull to start a generator while standing next to a truck. Need an awfully strong arm to cord start one of those....

The actual generator was probably nearby, but from my angle of view, it looked kinda funny.... Just waiting to see one fishing while standing in the desert.....

I know this exchange has been mentioned before, but when I was at the police station and shot a particularly slow merc, a couple of his friends had this interchange:
"$hi!... he got the new guy"
"TJ"
"What?"
"TJ.. his name was TJ..."

There was actual sorrow in the voice of the merc that knew the name of the hapless victim - I felt bad for the poor chap.

No you didn`t...  >:D

Funny to read all those old FC2 posts now that you resurrected them, PZ... I might fire FC2 again just because I want to hear the soundtrack again and see that great light effect!!  8) :-X

^+-+ Maybe you're correct - I probably just had a weak moment  :-()

It took me the longest time to start up FC2 again after my extended hiatus away from the game, and deleting all of my saved games was just the trigger I needed - it almost felt like a new game because I was forced to go through from scratch again.  Once in the game, I realized that although I had quite a few recollections, I'd also forgotten much of the ambiance in the game.  I'm glad that I returned to FC2 to experience Africa once again.

The funny thing is I now have a similar sense of excitement to get back into the game as I once did, and even fired up FC2 on the PC to do some recordings, even though I didn't delete those saves  :-()

Indeed - good one, nexor - makes me wonder if there are other things that have escaped us so far.  ????

Often I've seen dead mercs lying in the streets of Pala and wondered about them, this is one reason   :-D

Interesting discussion I heard in Mosate Selao this morning.  Two mercs were discussing a wheelbarrow full of money that was worth only $5 US.  I don't personally recall hearing this one before.

Art Blade

I can't count how many times I heard it.  Sorry :-()

Saw one merc in Pala chewing at a nail quite causual like. I don't think I would have seen that if it hadn't been in a cease-fire zone.

That's not why I resurrected this thread though...

I didn't believe the following when I saw it, but on the north approach to the airfield, at night and lined up with the shacks surrounding the flammables; I lined up so I could see into one of them to get as many together as I could. What I saw stopped me for a good few minutes - I'm fairly sure I saw one merc busy making that porno mentioned earlier  ;)

I mean, I can't be certain, it was dark and I was a fair old distance away while scoping the situation carefully when I saw what most definitely were arms and legs in the right number as well as posture, for a bit of 'missionary play.' Or it could just be my perverted mind... :)

Or maybe there were just two guys placing manacala...

hehe, as much as I wish it was true, I doubt they really do the old in-out thingy. At least I have never seen that and I kept using that ignore player cheat a lot which gave me truckloads of opportunities to observe whatever strange things they might have been up to  ^-^

 :) thought as much - that kind of thing gets discovered in games ten seconds after it starts selling in the shops...

Mind you, on occasion when wandering around in one of the cease-fire areas I've heard a distinctly effeminate "Hellooo" from one of the mercs. My instinct is to immediate sidle out of town with my bum to the walls... :-\\

That's almost as funny as the "Hey, hey! Hey!" you get from a merc because he's being hit with friendly fire from an over zealous buddy after you've strolled into a town and stirred up the hornets nest.  :-D

I like the line where one merc tells another to check it out, and the second merc tells HIM to go out  :laugh:
