Far Cry 3 - Top 7 Best Easter Eggs

Far Cry 3 - 7 Best Easter Eggs - Far Cry 3 is full of cunning nods to other games, and here are seven of our favourites.

Here's the list:

SEASICK MERCENARY
Often when liberating outposts you'll come across drunken mercenaries stumbling about the place with a bottle in hand, but one in particular seems to have taken partying hard to a whole new level.

Head to coordinates X: 805 Y: 640 then dive down in the sea, where you'll find a worse for wear soldier calling Huey down the big white telephone.

BIOSHOCK & PORTAL NODS

While climbing through the rocket silo to escape the complex you enter an area that looks a lot like an Aperture Science location, where Jason quips "You know. I could use a portal right now." In another area you have to restore power to a lift, and when you hit the button Jason says "Would you kindly activate" in an Irish accent - an obvious reference to the mind control phrase from BioShock.

THE CALL OF DUTY
The character of ex-CIA operative Willis Huntley provides several references to the Call of Duty series during your encounters with him. Sporting aviator shades and a goatee beard his appearance is very similar to Black Ops' Jason Hudson, who was also a CIA agent.

After you unlock the south island, you have a telephone conversation with Willis who informs you "This Russia operation has blown wide open. I'm joining Task Force 141 flying out tonight." In Modern Warfare 2 Task Force 141 is a multination spec ops force sent to track down Vladimir Makarov, the Ultranationalist behind the Russian invasion of the USA.

THE ONE WHO KNOCKS
A number of outposts have memory cards to collect from their safe houses once liberated, which contain drug recipes and other information about the local illicit trade. Memory card 16 found on the south island references a raid on a Meth super-lab in Mexico, giving intel for mass manufacturing the product to "recapture some of the markets lost to the product coming out of New Mexico."

This is no doubt a reference to the high quality Meth being produced by Walter and Jesse in the TV series Breaking Bad.

ON THE NAUGHTY LIST
Down in Willis Huntley's bunker under Badtown you can see what looks like a large boiler tank in the corner of the room. Get close to it and you can read the warning label on the side, which says "Christmas has been cancelled. Apparently, you told Santa you've been nice this year. He has died from laughing."Guess that means no presents for the island inhabitants come December.

Another amusing warning label can be found on any of the jet ski vehicles, by zooming in on the area just below the handlebars. The label reads "Playing too much Video Game may lead to aggressive behavior. Handle with care. Herp derp." Something tells us they're not taking this seriously.

BUCK STOPS HERE
While working with Willis Huntley he will phone you at some point and send you after a hit man named Buck, to which Jason replies in a Southern accent "So his name is Buck, and he likes to f..." before the call cuts out.

This is a reference to Buck, the male nurse who abuses The Bride while she is comatose in Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill Vol. 1.

JUST (BE)CAUSE
In some of the mercenary camp areas you'll find pallets of white drug packages stacked up. Take a closer look at them and you'll see they're stamped with a scorpion logo, which resembles the one used heavily in Just Cause 2.

This symbol is also used by Mexican cartels when smuggling drugs, but with a similar tropical island setting and free roaming ability in both games this could be more than just coincidence.

So , his name is Buck... And he likes to fuck:))

[Edward Boone]

No....Fallout 3 is like Skyrim with guns...Far Cry 3 is like Just Cause 2 with a better story and a better villain.

glad half my sentence didn't go on there. Red vs Blue is a show made by Rooster teeth sponsored by machinima for machinima but machinima didn't make it. Yes I know you didn't say they made im just noteing just in case. So it wont cause another strand of pointless internet comments.

[yayayacoack]

Also gears of war? Fuck that game it is shit for starters. Also Red Vs Blue? Machinima? They are a sponsor and support for it. Red vs Blue is made by Roosterteeth. I play all sorts of games. obvs cant name them all since there is a damn character count. Also tell me where you work since you can be on youtube and making comments, cause I need that damn type of job. This all started with don't bash other people for enjoying games. Why does it even matter what they enjoy playing?

[yayayacoack]

This whole thing is pretty damn pointless. First of all Gta's yeah you work to become know and to receive money and other shit. But stories are not even close bro. Gta 1 and 2 you don't become super rich and famous. Gta 3 you don't. Gta San Andreases no point really for money at all in that game and you don't become rich* Yeah you can have a lot of money but that don't have anything to do with the story. Also buy Cods just to by them and to have. I hardly play them.

..Also i see you have failed to tell me how any ta is in your words when it comes to gta "none of them have ever been alike not even close" And that whole get a life thing... Im at work, there is no life at my work, when i get home, i resume with life lol. So enjoy all you cods and gtas kid, and keep on supporting those money grubbing devs, ill spend my money on people that actually give a fuck about the consumer and put effort into their work.

[greenflashbat]

lol, have you not read anything i've been writing about.  Halo is also another prime example of a game that keeps on doing the same thing over and over again. zero innovation. imo the best thing about halo is the show red vs blue on machinima. I really really dont like those games. I play good games like remember me, portal, dishonoured and bastion. Games that innovate and are really fun, and remind me of art in motion. not fucking halo lol or gears for that matter...

SONORA EE AWEBO MEXICO :)

[RANDOMalec]

What's your ideal game? COD?

[yayayacoack]

Im starting to think you play one game and that is it. Most likely it is Halo since all Fan boys of Halo Say all other games suck and Halo is the best. Also something I find very fucking funny is you are as you said around your 30s or late 20s and are fighting over the internet. So yeah pro. Get a life.

..different because even the stories are the same. a poor guy in a shitty situation commits crimes to get out that situation and becomes rich at the end. So tell me please, how is any gta game different from one another? Also, I've been gaming since the nes days so no, its been about 28 years now that i've been a gamer. Thats how i am able to see through all this bullshit that you think is "different" from one another. If I gave u a brick and tied a string around it, it would be innovative to u

[greenflashbat]

..goes for GTA. After GTA3 its been the same thing everytime, just with a different main character. The overarching point of the game is to become the top dog in the city. You reach these goals through chasing missions, timed events, killing targets (sometimes with remote control cars or something lame like that), You get money for these missions and you buy stuff, a bigger house, more vehicles and so on. Please tell me what GTA game is different from that formula. eplain to me what is...
