The thing that bothers me about all those CS videos -
where.is.the.stamina.bar :confused: :confused:

i never had my stamina run out in the old game but you are right, where is it ?

Gone as a redundant gameplay element HAHAHA.
(sorry, I couldn't resist. hopefully it's just hidden)

I definitely hope that they don't remove the stamina from the game. It wouldn't be very interesting to be able to run forever without specific artifacts for that, or that the weight one carries suddenly wouldn't matter (I know a few people that hated the weight limit and gave up on the game because of it, but I think it's a fundamental part of the game's realism).

The fact that they keep silence on official forums about absence of the stamina indicator forces me to believe they decided to remove stamina from the game. After they decided to add dynamic combat music it's not hard to believe that they want to make the game more arcade and less simulator-like and may further try to dumb it down. :(
Stamina was quite important element of the SoC gameplay for me, I had to keep low load to be able to sprint and so couldn't allow myself to carry more than 2 barrels, so I had to choose carefully, and it added to deepness of the gameplay.

Well, how hard it will be to mod it in...

i don't believe that. it was stated in a few interviews that you can only carry a certain amount of things until you can't move any more. why keep something like this in when you can just remove stamina and limit the inventory to X kilos.
i mean, why cut stamina but leave overweight in. well, i would miss it in the vanilla but of course mods will always come to the rescue. but I would like to see GSC make better decisions than last time (invisible anomalies is certainly better), not revert the good ones(to put stamina in).
check out the russian special edition:
glowing artifact, badges, bandana, map, it's a stalker lover's heaven:

That combat music reminds me sooo much of System Shock 2 lol, clearly the inspiration for it. I know a "few" games that are far worse sources of inspiration ;)
I also doubt they've removed stamina, but then again, i find it very hard being pessimistic about this game.

Wow, I love that special edition. I hope I can get my hands on a special edition, and that the western version isn't too different from the russian one. I just checked Amazon UK, but they only have the regular version available for pre-order, not the special edition.
