Where Am I?

[Eichhörnchen]

I got the idea for this from a conversation between Chad and jacobston in The Funny Picture Thread.

I'll post a screenshot scene from a pc game and ask simply which is it? You don't have to come back with one yourself if you've guessed right: I'll carry on with more for as long as I can, but anyone can post their own. A decent amount of scenery too, please (it's not the Who/What/Where Game). Some scenes might be from a game already featured, but will show a very different part of the world/universe.

One guess at a time, and please wait until someone else has tried before you have another go...

Here's no.1

Clues: 1st/3rd person shooter/adventure; you are an American mercenary on a personal mission in a fictitious Latin American country.

OK here's another screenie...

[Wolferz]

Judging by the architecture...

Rome total war?

[Harvs]

Is it from the Black Hawk Down game?

[Eichhörnchen]

Nope and nope. Might've been a difficult, less well-known one to start with; it is a 1st/3rd person shooter/adventure game. I'll put another up soonish and then clearly mark each one that's been guessed correctly with the winner's name. Next one will be easier...

[Harvs]

I know I have seen that tile pattern but I cant remember where, is the bloke you play British?

[Eichhörnchen]

Nope, he's a sort of American mercenary but on a personal mission.

[Catfish]

Is the location the Alhambra ? :hmmm:

[Eichhörnchen]

Nope, a fictitious Latin American country.

[nikimcbee]

Nope, a fictitious Latin American country.

Texas.

[Schroeder]

Texas.
But Texas is a real Latin American country, we're looking for a fictitious one....:doh:


:O:

[Catfish]

Texas.

You mean, Texas in its borders after invading Mexico, or vice versa :hmmm:

No, we all know that there is only one America, and the CIA controls it all, down to Argentina :O:

[mapuc]

Nope, he's a sort of American mercenary but on a personal mission.

First name that popped up Jack Carver from Far Cry.
Where I don't know I haven't this game where this picture is from.

Markus

[Eichhörnchen]

Good guess, Markus, but it isn't any of the Far Cry games.

[Eichhörnchen]

This must be an easy one?

Vietcong!

Should the correct guesser post the next picture?

[Eichhörnchen]

Spot-on, Chad! You're not required to post a picture but you can if you like, and as many as you like... anyone can. Just give them a number following on from the previous picture so we know what to call them.

Picture 3) Tricky tricky, at first I thought Hitman 2, but I noticed the weapon on the back is WW2 era, so now I'm leaning towards one of the Sniper Elite games.

[Betonov]

Death to spies

[Eichhörnchen]

You got it: Death To Spies, 3rd person WW2 shooter, but so much more.:up: I thought that one would run for longer...

[Eichhörnchen]

This is probably too easy 'cos I left parts of the player interface on...

Interesting last screenshot, German soldier, or is he undercover? Awfully big chateau, or is it a castle? HUD does not look familiar.

[Dowly]

The Great Escape?

[Eichhörnchen]

Someone pipped you to the post again, Chad: it IS "The Great Escape", Dowly got it again. The "German soldier" is in fact the player's character (in this instance Steve McQueen, I think) in a stolen uniform; you get to play the roles of various escapers (based on the film's portrayals)throughout the game

return to castle wolfenstien ?

[Eichhörnchen]

You're too good, Harvs! The classic, solid, Return To Castle Wolfenstein. I thought showing the zombies might be too much of a giveaway... I should have worried!

Here's another shot...

[Dowly]

It's the HUD elements that usually give it away. :yep:

[Eichhörnchen]

You're right about that: I'm going to have to keep this in mind. Tried to offer a more obscure one this time, like no.1 was...

[Harvs]

You're too good, Harvs! The classic, solid, Return To Castle Wolfenstein. I thought showing the zombies might be too much of a giveaway... I should have worried!

I love that game, have played it so many times that frame just clicked.

[Eichhörnchen]

Good opportunity for me to add that these will all be games I play myself, so I'll not be using screenshots off the internet...
