Be sure to watcout for enemy airboats patrolling these areas because their bow-mounted miniguns can chew up vehicles and personnel in a matter of seconds. When you’re not cruising througthe swamps, you can launcyour vehicle off numerous ramps along the roadways to score easy jump bonuses. Witmiles of accessible roads and shallow canals, prepare yourself for some epic car chases.
