S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series Megathread - Call of :smith: - Games

Apparently there are frangible bullets. They are used in ranges and disintegrate when they hit something harder than the bullet making them never ricochet. Maybe they could be used as hollow points or might just have some nasty effects on impact.

Yeah I know that, but I'm pretty sure they don't come in .50AE.

[QUOTE='[GRiM];27358170']Any mods you could suggest to me? Also if I add the mod on will I have to restart the game?[/QUOTE]Any mod that edits all.spawn will require a new game. That being said, for a quick fix to the weak weapons while still being able to continue on your current save, use PLR's realistic weapons: [url]http://stalker.filefront.com/file/PLRs_Realistic_Weapons;88736[/url] Please keep in mind the damage on guns has been drastically increased, so you WILL be more likely to die from gunfire. Think of COD 4 on the hardest difficulty, except your health cannot regenerate. [QUOTE=DimJim;27363041]how hard is it[/QUOTE]Depending on the options enabled, difficult to [B]OH FUCK THERE'S 100 GRENADES LANDING ON MY POSITION AND I'M GETTING ASSFUCKED BY ALPHA SQUADS![/b] difficult.

SGM becomes at least twice as difficult with Alpha Squad enabled. That's the only mod I've had to make backup saves along with my quicksaves because I kept quicksaving and then immediately getting fucked over by AS. That said, it's not that hard to become INCREDIBLY overpowered in SGM. Fully upgraded Clear Sky suit + Gewehr 43 Sniper Rifle=immortal Degtyarev who can kill anything in one shot.

Reviewers don't have the time to become good at a game before reviewing it. Sad but true.

Good reviewers REALIZE they aren't good at the game and take that into account. Bad reviewers blame the game.

[QUOTE=Sgt Doom;27367365]That's the main problem in all STALKER games; once you've got a good loadout, all difficulty is catapulted out of the game.[/QUOTE] I wouldn't say that. SGM is the only STALKER game where I got so powerful I didn't have to worry about getting shot. Every other game/mod, getting shot in the head/ambushed would still slap my shit, even if I had literally the best suit and artifacts in the game.

Why doesn't stalker stop me from picking up 10 Makarovs? It's the games fault obviously.

If you're playing CoP it actually IS the game's fault :v:

Is there a alternative to Hispano Patcher for throttling stalker back to 1.0004?

Should i be using AMK for SOC or Complete? I've heard good things about AMK, but i still don't know what it adds to Stalker.

If you haven't played before, use Complete. If you're familiar with how STALKER works, use AMK.

If you haven't played before, don't use fucking complete.

[QUOTE=Blaberry;27367699]don't use fucking complete.[/QUOTE] Fixed.

No one has still replied to my earlier question on what AMK is or what it actually stands for. :smith:

[QUOTE=Waterrmelonn;27367442]Is there a alternative to Hispano Patcher for throttling stalker back to 1.0004?[/QUOTE] Doesn't it work for you for some reason? It might put the files in the wrong folder, just paste them to the SoC root otherwise. But apart from that, you have to reinstall and patch to 1.0004. If you're on Steam, well, tough luck.

[QUOTE=Rexen;27367708]No one has still replied to my earlier question on what AMK is or what it actually stands for. :smith:[/QUOTE] To answer your question with a question: what does CCCP stand for?

[QUOTE=Blaberry;27367699]If you haven't played before, don't use fucking complete.[/QUOTE] I think Complete is pretty good over the vanilla experience for the graphics and fixes, but I might be the only way to say this.. it feels like the AI got really dumb. I was able to take down the military base outside of Cordon with just a silenced pistol on Master difficulty. I don't know if it was shitty AI, or Complete made everything a cake walk, but I digress. [QUOTE=Rexen;27367708]No one has still replied to my earlier question on what AMK is or what it actually stands for. :smith:[/QUOTE] I believe AMK stands for Arsenal Modification Kit?

Isn't it something in Russian?

Complete does make everything much easier; for this reason it is recommended to rookies.

[QUOTE=Trinholdt;27367899]I believe AMK stands for Arsenal Modification Kit?[/QUOTE] that would make AMK: Arsenal "Arsenal Modification Kit: Arsenal" arsenal arsenal arsenal arsenal

Uh oh, AMK:SE download has been removed at the original Mediafire link.

It's still in my dropbox :colbert: [editline]12th January 2011[/editline] [url]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13433401/AMK%20sidorovich%20edition.rar[/url] There we go!

My god, that reviewer is an idiot. He doesn't aim, he reached the Garbage with no fucking armour. And gaming rig? I could run it on my goddamn laptop on medium at 40FPS. And how many guns did he pick up?!

An intel graphics card can run SoC with ANY mod on static lightning. I know from personal experience.
