MEXICAN MARINES KILL DRUG CARTEL BOSS AND 7 BODYGUARDS WITH MILITARY ATTACK HELICOPTER

Suddenly it unleashes a storm of gunfire into the building which lights up the night sky before jetting away.

It can be debated that the ‘war on drugs’ is the stupidest war since….well….every other war but it’s been going for a lot longer and has cost a lot more than most. In fact, the war on drugs started way back in 1971 when Dick Nixon, declared it. Now, over 45 years and one trillion dollars later, things seem to have only gotten worse.

You need only to look at the chaos that occurs in Mexico on a near-daily basis to see that shit is getting out of control; drug cartels battle the police and each other and all too often, and more often than not it’s innocent civilians that pay for this madness with their lives.



In this video, Mexican marines use an attack helicopter to kill notorious cartel boss ‘El H2‘ along with seven of his bodyguards.

H2 was described in a newspaper article in 2012 as one of the feared and respected lieutenants working under Chapo Isidro, a right hand man of Hector Beltran Leyva who was extradited to the States last October.

He made a name for himself with an ambush of a group of gunmen linked to infamous drug lord El Chapo Guzman – flown to New York last month amid tight security – which left some 25 rivals dead.

Shocked witnesses captured the crazy scenes on camera, showing the helicopter hovering above Sanchez’s compound in the city of Tepic in the west of the country.

Suddenly it unleashes a storm of gunfire into the building which lights up the night sky before jetting away.

With his death, the Mexican government has now killed or arrested 107 cartel leaders in the past four years.

Played a bit of XBOX One and PC versions. By far prefer the PC. Aiming feels sluggish on XBOX.

Hooked up with [MENTION=6410]Jaco Smit[/MENTION]h and had a blast. His piloting skills are awesome!
What a Pilot.jpg

He even did helicopter wing walking! What a man!

Gave this another go; and although I think the vehicle handling is horrendous be it road or air they just control like horse shit. When on ground and once you understand the concept it's really good and quite enjoyable. Though the AI ghosts are just fucking stupid. I am actually considering getting this. I took a more methodical approach to the game and turn off certain elements to be immersed in the world. I can only imagine it being so much more enjoyable with friends.

And this is how the game should be played:

 
I finished all the tasks/story missions on Saturday evening in SP mode. The trick with the AI is to leave them behind, do the sniper/stealth stuff and when the poo starts flying, call in the cavalry. Another nice aspect, although it does not work every time, is to call the rebels for a diversion on the other side of the camp. The AI rushes off to fight the rebels and you basically get a free ticket to the objective.

Last night I spent hours in Public Matchmaking, helping guys get all their missions done, all the drops etc. and actually managed to level up three times, just by supporting (and sometimes leading the charge if they were unsure).

I love this game and do not regret per-ordering it. The only thing I will do, is install it on my SDD which I have not done with any of the betas. I do experience some loading lag from time to time, especially when moving quickly between points.

Yeah, I didn't spend too much time with the beta as I would rather leave that for the game (if I decide to get it). The problem is, even when under live fire I have witnessed the AI just standing out in the open and doing fuckall. I sometimes feel that you would be better off completely solo, or with one other friend than the three of those AI idiots. Though the banter between them is funny. Also, the narrative and the cutscenes are just bollocks and I skip them anyway.

Doubt there will be anyone else who will get this on Xbox One so at this rate I doubt I will be getting it anyway.
 
Yup, dawned on me when my savegame from the closed beta "was corrupt". I will have to do this sh!t again. I have to say, I have gotten much better this time around with the first province's story missions and even more so helping other complete their missions in the closed and open betas.

I wish I could get the 8x scope on the first province like in the closed beta, that MSR and M4 rifles are awesome and maybe a bit OP, if you ask me.
 
I Played with my husband this weekend and i just cant play with him... he was continuously getting spotted, doesnt want to complete the extra objectives, instead prefering to shoot any and everything that moves, instead of going in stealthly... and just doesnt listen to directions. i had more fun playing with the AI
