      I was making a mod for this game 1-2 years ago and while editing the files I discovered the game actually has a lot of unused mechanics like ai suppressive fire,actual ai communication,gore etc which can be enabled.if the game was finished then it would've turned out to be pretty good.Sucks that they didn't have time to finish it.

    It's a shame that the game turned out like it is. I was unfamiliar with the Call of Juarez series, so The Cartel easily flew past my mind. When I found out about it on IMFDB, I was curious on what it was like. And as bad as it was, it does have an interesting idea.
    A modern day interpretation of a western, similar to the FX series Justified or the Coen Brothers movie No Country For Old Men, but mixed with the real-world conflicts with Mexican drug cartels, similar to the Sicario movies. The idea of playing as a dirty cop is also an intriguing idea to me, the only other FPS where you could do that was Battlefield: Hardline.
    It's disappointing that the graphics and gameplay (as well as the disjointed story and unlikable characters) drag the whole thing down. It could've been so much better with the right amount of effort. I feel like this idea could've worked, just not as a CoJ game.

    The original Call of Juarez was definitely rough around the edges but at least, it set the foundation for the franchise. Call of Juarez Bound in Blood greatly improved upon the original game. It had a pretty good story, interesting characters, satisfying shooting mechanics and you felt like you were in a living and breathing world. The game had personality and charm to it. The Western setting was intriguing and fun to explore. On the other hand, Call of Juarez the Cartel is a soulless, bland and generic FPS title. It's only Call of Juarez because of it's title and nothing else. In fact, Bound in Blood and The Cartel are complete polar opposites of one another in just about every single aspect. Call of Juarez the Cartel could've done a lot more when it comes to the U.S./Mexico border drug cartel issue. This is a completely different entertainment medium, but look at how great the original Sicaro was and the solid job that it did when it came to tackling the aforementioned drug cartel problem. I got so bored and uninterested in Call of Juarez the Cartel that I stopped playing the game after only 30 minutes. As you've already mentioned, the audio is poorly done. It's as if the sound was recorded in an empty room, which is no excuse for a AAA title. The graphics options are basic at best and that's putting it rather mildly. If you are playing solo and you are driving a car, you can't even shoot. That has got to be one of the worst video game mechanics that I've ever seen in a game. In other words, you need a partner in order to successfully complete said driving sections. I wholeheartedly agree when it comes to getting knocked down because it takes a few seconds in order for the character to get back up. It really becomes frustrating and irritating when it happens over and over again and you can't do anything about it. The story and characters are generic. I guess the shooting alright but that's it. I doubt that there will ever be another Call of Juarez game and the disappointing Call of Juarez the Cartel is a big reason for that. It's a shame, because Call of Juarez Bound in Blood and Call of Juarez Gunslinger were really enjoyable titles.

    Hey Jarek, when you are finished with the Call of Juarez series I highly recommend you checking out Dead Island 1 and Riptide for more godly Techland bad games. You can almost say that The cartel and DI1 and Riptide are a trilogy of bad games since they were all developed on the same engine around the same time. DI1 is a memorable experience for me as I played it co-op with a friend on the x360 for way to many hours, had hacked weapons dealing insane amounts of damage and explored every glitch and bug we could find. Note: Do play the pre remastered games as the remaster is even worse in its own ways.
    Fun facts:
    Hacked weapons can launch cars into the air, its hilarious. (Shotgun is the best for this)
    If you hit cars in specific areas with weapons, instead of your normal hit vfx so will you instead get a water vfx, as if you was hitting water.
    While running, look at your characters shadow, the running animation is just so bad its hilarious they let this be as it is.
    Know that resort hotel you get the armored truck from? Yes you can climb it, just need an ridiculous amount of crates to be able to get on the roof.
    There exist a duplication bug in at least DI1 which if you play coop and have one player shot at a weapon on the ground meanwhile you then pick it up, you will get a dupe.
    These games are just filled with bugs, but was extremely fun with a friend just playing it for what it is. The Cartel however just sucks... Glad they once again showed they can make good games with Dying light.

    This game came out the same year as Dead Island, Techland's first big open world action RPG. Safe to say that's the game that got the most care from Techland at the time. I also almost wonder if the cover with the double barrel was only done because the artist was hoping someone might confuse it with Red Dead Redemption (which basically overtook Call of Juarez as the biggest western game on the market).

    Just a note on mouse accel - if done properly it can benefit a player. In theory one would use a slow sensitivity for accurate shots but be able to swing the mouse quickly for 180s. A lot of Quake pros use mouse accel for that reason. The thing is it has to be done right and most games don't.

Guess I was a weird guy who enjoyed it I played on PS3 and met also some of my better friends and the game was pretty fun for dual wielding guns and causing a bit of chaos I also liked how each character started with better fire arms and accuracy with those guns also I loved the coop secret eye feature where your partners were tasked to do shady shit to get better fire arms and I usually played the good cop catching everyone in the playthrough 1 and 2nd time around I try and do em as sneaky as possible

  • @dragonbornexpress5650

    So, how about some ideas? (I'm extremely lacking in Call of Juarez lore, so I'll mostly be leaving out the previous two games.)
    Benjamin McCall: Current male heir to the McCall family fortune. The family bloodline goes all the way to the Wild West days, but they've dropped that from local history books and computer records for some time. While the McCall's can get pretty violent when they want to or when they're in a bad mood, they tend to stay away from direct violence when commiting crimes. Instead, they usually hire lower tier gangs and other bad folks to get their jobs done while they stay in their Phoenix, Arizona estate. Benjamin didn't really do this. He was considered unusual in his family in that he personally wanted to get the jobs done even at the risk of violence and also preferred to do so with a partner or something to that end. This came in especially well when Benjamin was drafted for the military during the midst of the Vietnam War, where he was well documented for mostly relying on his Python revolver to take out enemy troops along with stolen RPD Machine Guns. He also showed promise with the M1911 semi-automatic pistol; all of it earning him the nickname "Sheriff of Vietnam" mostly in reference to his custom Python and how he seemed to look straight out of the Wild West era during some parts of the war. After coming back from the war in the early 1970's, he had already learned about friendship and other things that his family did NOT like at all. They threatened to kill him as a way to "cleanse his body of this illnesss" like all delusional families do. In response, Benjamin drew his Python, lowered his cowboy hat, and went on a murder spree killing everybody with his trusty revolver. By the end of the event, his entire family was laying dead spilling pools of blood on the rich carpet and fancy woodwork in the main foyer and basement. He then took a lit cigar from his grandfather's bloodied mouth, poured some gasoline all over the foyer, and threw the cigar into the liquid, lighting the mansion ablaze. However, it was later revealed in 1976 that one of his siblings survived the event, but only time would tell if they went down the same criminal path he once did.
    In September 1980, he left Arizona and headed for Los Angeles, California. He joined the LAPD 3 years later, serving as part of LAPD SWAT for 30 years until today. He still has no clue who the remaining sibling is, but at this point he hardly cares who it is as long as they don't end up down the same criminal path.

    I actually didn't think this game was all that bad. I'm surprised you didn't mention the horrendous DOF though. That was my biggest issue visually. I also used nvidia for AA, and ReShade to make it look a lot better. In that same Data0.pak file, I also tweaked my jump height, so I can clear railings and small obstacles, and you can also fix the shotguns accuracy there, if you change it to 0.02 or 0.03 it's more like how a shotgun should be. I'm interested to see what you say about Gunslinger though. I personally hated it. I've owned it for years and have tried going back to it 3 or 4 times, and I have about 3 hours logged in total. One of the issues with gunslinger is that they don't just let you play the damn game... You'll get maybe a 5 minute peice of play before you're constantly being teleported around, and made to do something again, but from a different angle. And you'll RARELY go 30 seconds without someone narrating.... Its endless... And if you're not totally invested in the story, then it becomes really annoying. And if things like the charging handle on the FAL bugged you in the cartel... just fuckin wait until you get the lever gun in gunslinger... The reload animation is a really special kind of stupid. I might have to check out the stream to see your reaction on that one. And once again with gunslinger, you'll have to jump through a few hoops to fix the FOV, and the black borders.
