S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series Megathread - Faction Warfare Edition - Games

[QUOTE=venomfire;30778417]Hello Stalkers! Former lurker here, just gathered up the courage to finally start posting. How'd I do? Anyway, looking forward to being a part of this awesome community.[/QUOTE] Another aussie to join the stalker ranks. [img]http://i.imgur.com/DCH2R.png[/img] just for you!

[QUOTE=croguy;30778644][img]http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm177/phantom_lord140/ThePutinChallenge-1.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] I accept. Re-installing vanilla and fraps now This shall be a great challenge

I'd say he has to face the Lion.

[QUOTE=venomfire;30778679]I accept. Re-installing vanilla and fraps now This shall be a great challenge[/QUOTE] You should use Livestream's procaster, that way everyone gets to see it live.

I'd feel like doing the challenge but I've never even been to Pripyat in the game despite having 300+ gameplay hours [editline]29th June 2011[/editline] Might reach it during this run though unless I get bored during Red Forest AGAIN

Wut? I hope your joking man, how could you have not visited Pripyat? That place is awesome. Congrats on 10k posts btw. I too am considering doing the challenge, but it would be after me doing another 250 hours of general stalker playthroughs to conquer the difficulty curve and finish the mods I want to try.

[QUOTE=croguy;30778750]You should use Livestream's procaster, that way everyone gets to see it live.[/QUOTE] I would, but living in a rural Australian town doesn't exactly help internet speeds.

[QUOTE=croguy;30778540]I say Red Forest with no psi-protection.[/QUOTE] I did that, complete was so shit that in red forest and X-16 I had no psi-protection because the item wasn't recognising. Must have used like 150+ health kits.

[QUOTE=venomfire;30778796]I would, but living in a rural Australian town doesn't exactly help internet speeds.[/QUOTE] Internet speed isn't exactly a problem, unless it's really bad the delay is usually about 3 to 5 seconds.

If I got my hand on an akaban... I can headshot someone from anywhere with that beast of a rifle. NATO weapons are shit compared to the Akaban in every way. [editline]29th June 2011[/editline] talking about doing the Putin challenge

So, the Akaban is the best non-nato rifle? I've always wondered what the best weapons in SoC is, I always though G36 was the best.

[QUOTE=GuyWithTheName;30778841]So, the Akaban is the best non-nato rifle? I've always wondered what the best weapons in SoC is, I always though G36 was the best.[/QUOTE] Abakan is probably one of the best rifles in the game. It's double shot fire mode is also very useful for sniping.

There was a PSI protection ? damn it 300 medkits wasted

[QUOTE=GuyWithTheName;30778792]Wut? I hope your joking man, how could you have not visited Pripyat? That place is awesome.[/QUOTE] I get bored usually around Army Warehouses and start the game again, usually with a new mod Getting bored of LURK right now and I've just entered Red Forest for the first time, I'll probably restart and MAYBE finish the game with AMK. [editline]29th June 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=croguy;30778845]Abakan is probably one of the best rifles in the game. It's double shot fire mode is also very useful for sniping.[/QUOTE] It'd be nice if it worked like it does in real life.

I'd like to see what everyone thinks the best weapons are in these formats? -pistol -shotgun -Non-nato assault -nato -sniper -9x39 assault For me it would probably be P99 SPAS 12 (duh) Akaban G36 SVD Groza Would I be correct in thinking this? Of course it would I've always just carried a G36 endgame, the Rapid fire AK early game. Never really touched the shotguns except for the labs, the snipers where pretty useless all round, I only recently started using the akaban, and 9X39 weaponry is kinda useless because of the rarity of the ammo, and thanks to the wiki I never took pistols because it said they were essentially excess weight in the late game.

[QUOTE=GuyWithTheName;30778882]I'd like to see what everyone thinks the best weapons are in these formats? -pistol -shotgun -Non-nato assault -nato -sniper -9x39 assault For me it would probably be [b]Martha with silencer[/b] [b]Father Dioder's Chaser[/b] Akaban [b]with scope[/b] G36 SVD [b]AS VAL[/b] Would I be correct in thinking this?[/QUOTE]

The more you know I guess, the wiki says martha is a pile of crap, the chaser is p. cool but I always prefered the spas because I didn't have to pump it between shots, and the AS VAL? Who here uses 9X39 weaponry?

[QUOTE=GuyWithTheName;30778882] -pistol [B]Fort-12[/B] -shotgun [B]SPAS like one[/B] -Non-nato assault [B]Moist Nugget (TFW) AKS-74u otherwise[/B] -nato [B]LR3000[/B] -sniper [B]SVD or VSS[/B] -9x39 assault [B]AS VAL[/B] [/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=GuyWithTheName;30778882] -pistol[/quote] None, they're all shit and a waste of weight and money. If mods are accepted then the LURK 1911. [QUOTE=GuyWithTheName;30778882] -shotgun[/quote] Toz-34, in mods the Toz-66 or whatever. [QUOTE=GuyWithTheName;30778882] -Non-nato assault[/quote] OTs-14 Groza. [QUOTE=GuyWithTheName;30778882] -nato[/quote] LR-300. [QUOTE=GuyWithTheName;30778882] -sniper[/quote] SVU, in mods scoped moist nugget [QUOTE=GuyWithTheName;30778882] -9x39 assault [/QUOTE] Groza, obviously.

-PMm -sawn-off dbl barrel -AKm 74/2U -IL 86 -SVD -VLA Stalker's ultimate weapons.

[QUOTE=croguy;30779042]dicks[/QUOTE] You have pretty good taste

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;30779018]horse dicks[/QUOTE] I see you have a pretty good taste, too.

[QUOTE=croguy;30778644][img]http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm177/phantom_lord140/ThePutinChallenge-1.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] That's actually a very easy challenge.

[QUOTE=Fables;30779107]That's actually a very easy challenge.[/QUOTE] We're talking about a rookie stalker here.

[QUOTE=croguy;30779071]I see you have a pretty good taste, too.[/QUOTE] I had to put something in the quotes, otherwise it would have appeared as blank and blank quotes do not appear at all and if someone had posted before me I'd be congratulating him and not you

[QUOTE=Fables;30779107]That's actually a very easy challenge.[/QUOTE] I sorta agree, basically you start off on master and no quick saving at bar. From there you need like 4 kills and you can get a reasonable loadout from bodies ect. It would be harder if -two pistols clips -Silencer -2 Tinned meals -1 Vodka No bandages, you can pick up to 5 Bandit jacket or the like without NV Make one save at each area, you can only load that save in that area, so traveling in between areas is not a method for creating a new save. From Cordon, at night, have to arrive at army warehouses by dawn No picking up weaponry except pistols that use the same calibre of ammunition as yours to replace yours Rest is the same, although this is AFTER having reached and cleared pripyat initially to skip the large battles and bs like the gate to bar that requires you to take a 3 hour detour to agropom. Now that would be hard.

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;30779175]I had to put something in the quotes, otherwise it would have appeared as blank and blank quotes do not appear at all and if someone had posted before me I'd be congratulating him and not you[/QUOTE] I know, but I felt like responding in a similar way. :v: [editline]29th June 2011[/editline] I remember that there was a vodka challenge where you were supposed to beat the whole game with starting weapons and under constant influence of vodka. Getting sober means that you have to start over.

That would be a bitch, early clear sky when I was on veteran before I said "fuck these ballistics" I got drunk to cure radiation from stepping in the swamp, took one step forward and stepped in the exact same spot again because I veered to the right.

I ended up falling off the bridge like ten times before I jumped into the anomaly.
