[QUOTE=MountainWatcher;30532049]Scavengers, Trespassers, Adventurers, Loners, Killers, Explorers, and Robbers [sp] The C consciousness tells you this at the end of SoC[/sp][/QUOTE] I know the acronym, what does the n and the a mean? Why do people add it?

[QUOTE=MountainWatcher;30531543]I think I'll give it a whirl. Any new zones, weapons or artifacts?[/QUOTE] There are, I think, at least 15 new weapons from what I remembered. It was freeplay from the start, hence the open story line. Edits to the levels like removing the flames and teleporters from the NPP. Driveable vehicles added into the levels, and factions were their usually weren't aka military everywhere. Also, the old beta style hud as seen in Lost Alpha.

[QUOTE=GuyWithTheName;30532160]I know the acronym, what does the n and the a mean? Why do people add it?[/QUOTE] I don't know for sure, but it's probably an intentional mispronunciation of "stalking."

too far man :smith:

I never actually read the term STALKARAN anywhere but your post, gwtm.

Sorry. It was going to be the white rabbit from Alice in wonderland to fit in with my past words, but then I saw the size of the guys head and the late symbol and thought... hm you know that looks like it might fit... [editline]18th June 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=MountainWatcher;30532413]I never actually read the term STALKARAN anywhere but your post, gwtm.[/QUOTE] I think it was just the n.

[QUOTE=MountainWatcher;30532413]I never actually read the term STALKARAN anywhere but your post, gwtm.[/QUOTE] I've never heard someone say STALKERAN, but [I]stalkan,[/I] yes.

oh that might be it, bad reading on my part if that's the case, but if so, what does it mean?

[QUOTE=Teh Zip File;30532459]I've never heard someone say STALKERAN, but [I]stalkan,[/I] yes.[/QUOTE] Was I correct in that it's a mispronunciation?

[QUOTE=Teh Zip File;30532459]I've never heard someone say STALKERAN, but [I]stalkan,[/I] yes.[/QUOTE] For instance, this is a [i]stalkan general thread[/i]

[QUOTE=Psychokitten;30532488]Was I correct in that it's a mispronunciation?[/QUOTE] Yeah, it's just a way to say stalking. [editline]17th June 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=MadCatMkII;30532498]For instance, this is a [i]stalkan general thread[/i][/QUOTE] [I]Gotta go stalkan man.[/I]

[QUOTE=Teh Zip File;30532514]Yeah, it's just a way to say stalking.[/QUOTE] *overdone celebration*

I wish I could change my vote to mercenaries, I have been playing TFW and I have almost taken the entire zone. All I have to do is finish off clear sky and then its just me, freedom, and my mercenary buddy Obek! Also advice to anyone that has trouble getting enough bandages, invest in a bleeding reduction artifact. Finding a Mama's Beads from the start makes me feel like a champ, +5 bullet proofing helps considerably early game.

[QUOTE=Muukkis;30518052]Eh, I'm basically still at rank 1 due to mainly playing Call of Pripyat : Redux. Yesterday me and my mercbros captured the entrances to the Agroprom from Yantar. We're now in the process of capturing what used to be a Loner base in Agroprom from the clutches of Duty. It's pretty challenging because they can move on the rooftops to snipe me from many locations and assault me head on if I try to do the same. Today is the day we're capturing the base and making it one of our own. Also, goddamn Sakharov. He doesn't have anything decent to trade so I'm stuck with my scopeless AK and a crappy Merc suit for a while now it seems.[/QUOTE] Also, this is a stupid question, but what version CS do you need? The same as the prev. version of TFW? I'd look it up, but even specifically searching total factional warfare 2.9 only brings up the old version.

What's the latest version of TFW? 0.9? Might play it... although that would require me to install Clear Sky... again...

How would one go about changing the weight carrying limit? I'd like to reduce it to 30 kg.

Fuck you lurk you unforgiving bastard, I had to head back to Bar from Yantar at night, so I set out and it's so fucking dark I can't see shit. I try to sneak past the construction site and they spot me, even though my lights off and I'm crawling at a snails pace. Dogs suddenly attack me from every direction and I can't even see them because they leap back into the darkness. After a good fifteen minutes of crawling in the darkness after dealing with the psuedodogs, I spot a moonlight artifact and begin stealthly make my way over to it, only to realize the bandits are shooting at me because apparently they all have night vision and I glow like a fucking beacon, and I'm dead before I can even fire back. Trying again I move through the darkness, and suddenly a fucking Bloodsucker roars at me from behind and I jump the fuck out of my seat and run to the artifact, turn the corner and all the fucking bandits are there. Unable to see them except for the first, I headshot him, and another takes his place, like a retarded stealthy conga line of death. Then I sneak over to the next area, where I can barely see my own fucking weapon, and these fuckers show up. See if you can spot them. [img]http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww332/guywiththename/ss_john_06-18-11_14-10-55_l06_rostok.png[/img] No? Try again? [url]http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww332/guywiththename/ss_john_06-18-11_14-12-04_l06_rostok.png[/url] [url]http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww332/guywiththename/ss_john_06-18-11_14-12-08_l06_rostok.png[/url] Still no? Try this out. [img]http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww332/guywiththename/ss_john_06-18-11_14-12-25_l06_rostok.png[/img] Hope that helped, your dead now of course because you didn't spot the guy you stealth passed and the other two to your right. Oh and this was my only form of illumination. [img]http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww332/guywiththename/ss_john_06-18-11_13-40-53_l08_yantar.jpg[/img] So then I finally get back to bar annnnnd crash. Fuck it.

Thorny, I just remembered that old cult ghost whiped out--Final day. Will they recieve a cameo at all in the mod? It states they were a group of wild stalkers, so I assume if you were going to add them perhaps have them in a near zombified like state.

Freedom are awesome and laid back. Duty are grumpy and have sticks up their ass.

[QUOTE=AWarGuy;30534680]Freedom are awesome and laid back. Duty are grumpy and have sticks up their ass.[/QUOTE] So freedom are just lying around in the Zone? That's sort of a dangerous thing to do... [editline]18th June 2011[/editline] OMFG YUS! So, I spent the last hour at bar. Woohoo! So I decided to complete the arena, and it was all fine and dandy up until I had to deal with the exoskeleton guys. First, 3 tries on the guy because I had four grenades and a knife. Thanks for being fair game and giving him an f2000. I managed to stun him with a grenade and rush him when he ran out of cover. Then I get to the final fight, me versus four guys wearing exoskeletons with the G36. Strangely though I hear gun fire before I even move. Confused I move out and... they're shooting eachother? Not only did one guy murder all his friends, but they were all using AK-74s! wtf is going on?

Woot I am the match master! Also I'm going to go join Freedom, just to see what life's like on the other side of the war. Is this a good equipment setup? [img]http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/ww332/guywiththename/ss_john_06-18-11_16-02-04_l05_bar.jpg[/img] [editline]18th June 2011[/editline] Did you guys know that since I started contributing to this thread my photobucket profiles picture number has gone up by like 90 pictures? [editline]18th June 2011[/editline] Also what problems will I have if I join freedom?

[QUOTE=GuyWithTheName;30534696]Also what problems will I have if I join freedom?[/QUOTE] Duty will become hostile to you, which means that you'll have to shoot your way through The Bar, Wild Territory and North Garbage. I suggest you don't do it unless you have great equipment and you know a way to lure the Dutyers out of the 100 Rads Bar so you can shoot them.

[QUOTE=croguy;30535071] I suggest you don't do it unless you have great equipment and you know a way to lure the Dutyers out of the 100 Rads Bar so you can shoot them.[/QUOTE] The AI is so horrid at the bar it's downright easy to slaughter DUTY.

[editline]18th June 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Fables;30535133]The AI is so horrid at the bar it's downright easy to slaughter DUTY.[/QUOTE] So how would I go about doing this? [editline]18th June 2011[/editline] Also reffering to above, what equipment would people advise I use?
