Are supply drops as broken as I'm thinking?

[uKER]

I mean, the whole thing drops in a cargo container and if you ask for a handgun there's no room for anything else, so if I need two guns I need to call the damned thing twice?

Also, why are there 5 pilots (all of them the exact same)?
Is it just to limit the amount of supply drops you can request in a given time?
If that's it, DAMN it was a crappy way to implement it.

That's how it's always worked in this series, sadly. Actually, this is the one and only area they actually improved in JC4: now you can at least visually mark specifically where and at what angle the cargo crate will land. Before, it just kind of dropped near you generally in the direction you were facing.

Actually, in Just Cause 3, you were able to call in 1 primary gun, 1 secondary gun, AND any vehicle of your choice all in 1 drop. But yeah, you couldn't aim where the drop faced, so dropping things like Cargo Planes was a huge pain in the behind.

I did know that you could get both a gun and a vehicle, but he was complaining just about guns. I don't recall being able to do both primary and secondary weapons, but I won't argue with you.

^ This is why double negatives are a grammatical no-no. For a good six seconds, I thought you were actually praising this game.

Yeah, this irritated the hell out of me also.

Pretty much this.

At the top of the irritation chart was the fact that they made a "new engine" when they really didn't need to. JC3's visuals were fine, and while there actually things that were improved visually, far MORE moved backward, and got WORSE.

If the engine JC3 was on was horribly outdated, it might have made sense, but it seems like it was an engine that was created for the sake of creating a new engine. I guess maybe they needed a new engine for the weather effects? Too bad the weather effects don't outweigh the backward movement.

Also, I feel firepower dropped MASSIVELY in each game since JC2.
In JC2 you feel like a powerhouse.
In this one I feel like a wimp and in the powerful ones you're always running out of ammo.
