Why is everyone so quick to shit on his friend and Call of Duty? Vanilla CoP/CS/SoC and some mods have pretty awful bullet sponge enemies who kill you in 2 shots and mods in which you can carry 120kg of rifles, grenades and machine guns, with hundreds of rounds of ammo
Not to mention ultra accurate NPCs who detect you from 1km away while you're sniping them in a bush behind a wall and 3 fences
[QUOTE]I've played through Call of Pripyat, now I wanna go back and play SoC, I found that Autumn Aurora mod for it, it seems to make some pretty cool changes, should I use that or is there something better? I'm not looking for anything that would make the gamer harder.[/QUOTE]
AA2 changes some quest rewards, has really nice graphics, weapons from OWR, new models and ballistics, and small stuff like medkits taking time to heal and being unable to do anything for a bit after you used them. It has no new quest or such. It definitely is harder, you die in 1-2 shots(enemies too)

Mods are mods. Never had any problems with bullet sponge enemies in vanilla games at any difficulty.
The secret is [sp]shooting them in the head[/sp] so they will die much quicker.

Doom's mod merge is really good if you'd like some freeplay[/QUOTE]
I also found the Anon edition of Doom's Mod Merge. It supposedly adds stuff and fixes more things. [url]https://mega.co.nz/#F!c9tGDLSZ!fB5FBCVhJeAkVjr_OStT4A[/url]
[QUOTE=DeathFP;44543105]It supposedly adds stuff[/QUOTE]
It has blowouts but from what I've been reading reports of, the blowouts are apparently a little dodgy and cause crashes after the blowouts. The A.I is also kinda bonkers, bandits and such riff-raff have a large tendency to run away rather than fight, so there's more people just running around the levels instead of fighting.

Hats off to whoever that brave fellow is.

[QUOTE=Spor;44542188]My steam friend claims this game is broken garbage because he dies too fast :v:
He even made a video specially for me as a proof, because his constant whining wasn't enough apparently.

Dying from two assault rifle bursts from 30 meters away? Fucking dropped.[/QUOTE]
One more is claimed by the zone.
This thread is going to go nuts on LA's release day.
Oh god. just laid my time re-installing SOC and downgrading it to 1.0004. Shit, I need to get my shit together and back it up on a disc and on my drives.

Stalker Clear Sky, and other shit rather cheap...
Oddly enough it looks like Clear Sky is the only good game in that bundle.
Speaking of going nuts...

So that weird white thing over Zombified Stalker's mouths. Is that a scruffy beard they have grown because they no longer possess the thought process for personal hygiene?
Completed SOC for the first time, great game. Moving onto COP now.
[QUOTE=Thechuz1337;44544868]Moving onto COP now.[/QUOTE]
If you have a computer to run it, you might want to check out some graphics-only mods for CoP since the base game looks horribly dated (they had the reduce the draw distance and texture quality to make the game run on older computers near release). Also, CoP plays rather differently from SoC, so I would also recommend both enabling the autosave and not saving outside of the main safe hubs for the levels. Also take your time in each area, if you just try to shoot for the main quest, you'll miss a bunch of missions easily.

And in case you end up installing the premier go-to graphics mod for Call of Pripyat, AtmosFear 3, I would suggest turning off PSI-storms in the AtmosFear options menu, as well as the chemical and radioactive fallouts, neither of which are vanilla features and if set to hurt NPCs, can fuck up some things.
[editline]herp[/editline]
Generally it'd be recommended to start the game vanilla and if you find something that isn't pleasing, come back and ask if there's a mod to fix that.

I might be wrong but doesn't that look like a collapsed smoke stack of the CNPP ?.
Do any mods for SoC change the character models? Character models in the Stalker games are probably one of the weakest parts of them. Parts of them look kinda okay but in most of them anything below the belt looks really ugly and there's barely any variety to them.
[QUOTE=simkas;44544918]Do any mods for SoC change the character models?[/QUOTE]
AA2, L.U.R.K. 1.2 (TBA) and ZoA all have relatively good and consistent new NPC skins. Although Autumn Aurora 2 has some very obvious Metro 2033 models and some incredibly Army of Two looking skins like the Skull Exoskeleton from Freedom faction.
Autumn Aurora 2 changes the character models to be a lot better, but some of them like the freedom/duty exosuits are kinda dumb looking.

I think it's supposed to be bandages but I'm not entirely sure
Frozen Zone looks so little like Xray that it baffles me. Its weird how much having models and assets that arent from 2003 changes things
AKS-74U with stamped steel 7.62x39 magazine ruins the illusion.
Frozen Zone is for.... which game? Or standalone?
Also, I hope we are able to remove the DoF or change it. It looks too intense.

By quick googling I found some comments from March 2014 saying it's supposed to be a CoP mod.

I wonder how you'll install it. Prolly a whole package modifying the engine, dll's and whatnot.
Haha.
I was playing Shoker 2.1, I was just in the outskirts of Skadovsk and near the firethingyanomaly something runs past me at a ridiculous speed, I shot it because I thought it was a bloodsucker.
I was wrong. It was actually a loner but fortunately he did neither die or shot me.
I decided to move on and suddenly a bandit runs past me and just goes "HOWDY HO!". I broke out in laughter because it was just so damn surprising.
am i the only one here that when it gets dark i drive my ass DIRECTLY back to a stalker outpost?

I usually do this unless I have AtmosFear installed and there is a storm going on. Wandering around Zaton in the middle of a storm at midnight is an awesome experience.
