Nice, it's not often to have a game that beats Crysis visuals at a first glance!
Also, how do you shrink 1920x1080 pics to fit the allowed GS image size?
I hope you mean literally at first glance.
I love Far Cry 3's visuals because on high end rigs it's super silky smooth open world stuff, but that's because it's not harbouring cutting edge graphics tech. I just booted up Crysis: Warhead to see if I had my rose tinted glasses off, but no, Warhead even looks better than Far Cry 3 at enthusiast settings. And it doesn't even have haphazard implementations of effects such as ambient occlusion, which looks mud in Far Cry 3.
On a side note, don't think I ever tried Warhead or Crysis 2 with the PC's new GTX 670. Just witnessed the revelation that was Warhead at 50-60 frames.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet, but the AA in this game is total garbage. I disabled it and ran my AA through Nvidia control panel and the performance gain was astronomical. 70-80 FPS x8 compared to x4 in game where i was barely getting 50FPS.

That part was awesome lol, loved the music and the dialogue Jason was saying during that mission. As for armored pirates, Molotov's are your friends.

Now I always make sure to take a few into a fight, though I did end up taking one down with two grenades.

Im starting to think the in-game MSAA is just poorly optimized at x4 and beyond. I'm playing it on an old laptop, but I've also tried it on my roommate's system, which is good enough to go ultra settings 1080p, and maintain 50+, with infrequent lows of like 45, and on both of our systems, I noticed there's almost no performance hit between MSAA=off, and 2x, and then a huge performance hit going up from 2x to 4x.

I'm wondering if I'm somewhat near the end:
[spoiler]
I just reached Vaas' compound after banging that tribe chick and shooting arrows into Diablo's head. I'm now tryint to kill Vaas. I've not yet even begun to explore the lower left half of the map, is it open from the beginning or will it open up after this mission? I've been playing for so long and from the missions it feels like the end is near but all that area is unexplored and I can't reach it with a boat as it gives me the "out of bounds" message. When do I get there?

no real spoilers for further than you are, just spoilers for people who aren't where you are yet.
[spoiler] Based on the number of main story missions, you're like 3/4 of the way done, but the you're gonna open up the second island real soon, and the missions after that get a good bit harder, and take longer. makes it feel more like halfway, or just a little more than halfway. [/spoiler]
