STALKER Series Megathread: All news we get about STALKER 2 are bad jokes and concept art
3,630 replies, posted
Just played SGM 14 hours in one go.
Here's some stuff that happened to me on my endeavours against the Troll Detachment and companions...
Go complete a quest:
> Meet Alpha Squad
> Run from Alpha Squad because their grenade spam kills you and your pitiful rock that you use as cover
> Run into another Alpha Squad
> Run from Alpha Squad
> Run into mutants
> Run from mutants
> Run into another Alpha Squad
Then I had quite a jolly good time with this platoon of Alphas. It was five Alpha Detachments merged into one since I got five Commander PDA's from the pile. They were all in the same ring, crouching and probably enjoying their mercenary vibrators idunno when I noticed them the first time. I whip out my SVU, slap in some high-quality 7.62x51 rounds and let it sing. Every single of my 60 shots hits a cranial zone and it even ranks me up quite nicely, boosting me from 540 to 600. As they finally realize what's going on around 40 kills, I start leading them by half an inch to compensate for the ballistics. Fortunately my bullets aren't just any cheap bandit shit, so they work as expected and manage to hit as intended, right between the fucker Alpha's eyes. I continue this merciless slaughter of mine as I switch targets, chopping their dwindling numbers one by one. At last I only spot one in a bush. Unfortunately, he has a Dragunov. it becomes a clash of snipers.
I retreat from my position as it was made a long time ago and try to find a better cover or a good ambushing spot to bumrush him from. At this point, my MP3 player starts playing "Can't Touch This." It gives me a retarded idea and I end up zig-zagging at him with my Abakan backup, firing the occasional burst at him to throw his aim off. I manage to run to his face, switch to my knife and altfire it in his eyesocket. As he falls on the ground and grabs his stomach like a little bitch, I add insult to injury by picking up his own sniper rifle and shooting him in the head with it. As I loot the bodies, I reach 128 kilograms of weight in total. Luckily I have a Dawn Exoskeleton plus an upgraded Wrench artefact which gives me 120 of normal weight. 130 is the maximum overload I can have without being immobilized so I start walking towards Skadovsk, carrying the spoils of not war, but a great victory in stalker history.
Now, I also had some adventures in Yanov with a bodyguard and a pet. The pet was the cutest thing ever. I called him Fagelein and he seemed to like his name. Not only was the chimera frigging useful, he even managed to kill a pseudogiant with the aid of my faithful bodyguard whose russian name I cannot remember. I gave the bodyguard a Dragunov and always made him hold his position further away from the heat of battle. As the dreadnought encased in an exoskeleton, carrying a massive fucking automatic sniper rifle charged into battle against the Troll Alphas alongside his fearless pet Chimera, Fagelein, the scientist picked them off with his client's SVD.
It was glorious. Alpha Squad can go suck my dick, Master Difficulty got nothing on me. Hell, even Chimeras are harder. I have to note, though, taming a Chimera is one tough fucking job, you have to remain in a 10m proximity with it for 70 seconds. It's not an easy task, but when successful, it is an invaluable companion that can tear through an entire squad of Alphatrolls which seem to cockblock you at every turn. Not when there's a powerful mutant tearing them a new cakehole, they're not.
I'm starting to like SGM just because of the MP3 player, though. It's a genius invention and well executed.

Silly question - what's an alpha squad in SGM? Is it a high-ranking squad of stalkers / hard to kill motherfuckers?
Also, I've posted this twice before but for anyone who's missed it - it's a tutorial for a merge of AMK, LURK, and Complete 2009... It's quite fucking good I'd say:

As you can see he specified all the unique content in his post
What did he contribute exactly?
Good compatibility between the mods and ego
he's an artist in the art of ~merge~

I'd love to download a ready version of that sometime.
And Alpha Squad is kind of like STALKER's version of Gary Oak; whenever you need to go somewhere, just as you're reaching your destination the fuckers show up with a trollface on and fuck your shit up.
They have the perfect timing.

A couple textures I think. Maybe.

Probably similar to FakeFactory: slap filters on it and boom its original

Yes he used a fakefactory brush on the HUD from what I can see.
Not even UI resources were safe from the detail brush

I should be a bro and upload it for you... it's around 2gb uncompressed. But it depends what kind of merge do you want - a high-quality texture merge or a low-quality texture merge? If you want a high quality texture merge I'll need to redo the tutorial myself because I'm a fag who can't handle high-res textures. :v:
First time playing CoP, completely loving it, just one question though, a guy named Noah started shooting at me, so I killed him. He had a PDA and two Compass Artifacts on him, and I'm wondering whether he was part of the story or something.
at least artistpavel(~) doesn't include exploding chickens in his mods
chickens that explode into blood
Seriously, Mr Gerious, what were you on when you added that?

Yeah, he kinda is. I don't like to think he's shooting at me though... rather he's shooting at the door. :v:
Something happened to the cryzone upload, its stuck at loading now :(
Edit: yeah its gone for some reason. Sorry.

Not really
Spoilers about a main quest involving him [sp]His PDA shows a way to get to the plateau with one of the crashed choppers. If you couldnt find it or whatever, the "portal" is in the burnt farmstead, through one of the broken fences.[/sp]
Spoilers about a side quest involving him [sp]In a side quest from owl where you have to get the three veles detectors and take it to Novikov, at the end, theres a confrontation between bandits and beard. Beard just askes you to talk to Noah to get a compass artifact. But you know, since you've probably picked the compass's up, you can just give it to him [/sp]

Low res is jsut fine.
Holy shit SGM 2 Repack is amazing. 304 songs on the MP3 player and that NPCs randomly listen to on radios and it has fucking everything. Nothing funnier than finding a group of stalkers in the dark valley sitting around a campfire listening to Self Control by Laura Branigan (look up the lyrics)
Maybe i should download it...
hell havent stalked for a while now since skyrim came

When I came to my first stalker radio and heard Laura I couldn't get away from there. It might just be one of the best songs of the bunch, too.
so, owl finally has an rpg-7 for sale and i go and buy it.
*common stalker stuff goes here*
i go back to skadovsk and pay owl a visit.
"exo skelly for sale, yeah!"
but unfortunately i get overloaded from it and a few other assorted items.
"oh okay, ill just go say hi to cardan and slap my rubles in his face"
"wait i cant move. well the rpg is kinda heavy." *clank*
lighter exo skeleton with more carrying capacity, check.
rpg-7, not check.
prance back to owl to pickup my roc-
"where is it?"
"where the fuck is it! it was just here!"
go into owl trade window just to see that the bastard nicked it from me.
and i pay another ~20 000 for it after having to sell my precious firefly.
and what does he say after this?
"get on outta here!"
cant turn your back for one second on anyone.
