Agree completely. There were achievements in CoP no?
Not in the way you're thinking, no.

I don't think they were much different from console achievements.

You mean other than the fact that they were current-game specific and not global, and they all had effects in-game?

Ok, they're different in that respect. I meant in the sense that something gamey was occurring. As I mentioned, I liked that so much of the character progression in SoC was in the player's adaptation to the world and the difficulty. Also to the availability of equipment. They even made it realistic in that Cordon and Garbage were frequented mostly by Bandits, Rookies and the odd Merc, so the best equipment is also where the best artifacts are at and likewise most of the tougher opponents. It all fits together without feeling like an artificial difficulty curve. Just a nice gradient from edge of the zone to heart of the zone.
As you get closer to the centre of the zone, the rads go up, the mutants get scarier, the artifacts get better so the Stalkers are more numerous and serious and better equipped. It's a really good progression gradient which I think makes is feel more realistic than a lot of games.

I just finished the series by completing CoP. One of the best games I've played. Can't wait for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2. :)
Good hunting, stalkers!

Is there any more recent news on s.t.a.l.k.e.r 2? Or does anyone by any chance have some interesting reads / articles / links for me about the whole s.t.a.l.k.e.r universe? I'm in dire need of something new to read at work.

@Mothra - If you do find out more details from the show could you post them here? I'm guessing the show won't be in English, and I can only speak English, Afrikaans and Xhosa so that won't help me much.
