STALKER Clear Sky

finally got it today and loved it from the first moment of playing it

its still the same stalker, BUT with many improvements and a new story

the most important part of stalker is imo the atmosphere, well in CS its even better: we have finally 'clear' sky, i mean there is sun and we can see not only grey clouds and the night is really dark and scary (i know there were some weather mods for SOC but ill talk about the 'default' game)
my favorite scene was a firefight between the army and stalkers during night in the second location, i was so impressed that i was watching it without making anything and failed the quest to rescue this stalkers

the so called a-life, which was pretty poorly done in SOC is now really good with all this 'gang-wars', and it really feels like a war when you have to take over villages, farms, watchtowers and all the stuff that makes a good cp with your mates, that dont just run into the action and die

and you can (FINALLY :runaway: ) repair your weapons and armor, moreover you can upgrade it to make it more powerful, accurate.... well you can make a killing machine using an AK-74u, however its pretty expensive

new loaction like swamps or forest (the locations in SOC were kinda similar, only pripyat was different)

the graphics are also better, but its still not so good as crysis (but crysis has got only good graphic and nothing else)

ok, what i want to say by writing all that stuff is that if you like SOC, or just good shooters with scary atmosphere (just remember secret underground facilities in SOC) you should try it out, its really worth it

shadow of chernobyl was darker, and it was much easier to find artifacts... oh and there were more anomalies, and less radiation at important places like "treasures", oh and SPOILER:

when you go to the garbage, dont go to the bandits, theyll take away all your gear and money, just shoot them, anyway this territory will be taken over by duty or freedom later

there are blue points on your map
this points show important persons like group leaders, traders, technicians
you must visit a technician and press the button in lowest part of the screen (just like TRADE button at traders), i think it is 'Улучшить', that means upgrade, there you have to choose your weapon or armor and then press a button with gears on it
it costs some money but its cheaper than buying a new armor

btw i started a new game, because savegames are not copatible with the patch :(

i noticed that too, there are two tactics i use:
automatic fire: aim the legs and shoot
semi-auto fire: well aim what you want, but the best choice would be the head, however you should first upgrade you rifle and make it more precise (like my AK :P )

btw, if you havent noticed it already your health regenerates slowly if you are not bleeding or under radiation

i know since russian is my native language
but upgrade fits more to this situation because by pressing this button you can repair and... buy upgrades
