Sleeping in Ashes 2 is my all-time STALKER favourite, it matched the location perfectly.

I get the impression from the current write-ups that the game will be more horror oriented than SoC and less shooty than CS. Is this what they're aiming for?

Only Monolith itself knows that for sure...
From the screens/videos, visually it looks like CS. I mean bright sun, blue sky and such, I much prefer SoC's gloomy look. But I guess it will be less shooty than CS, yes.

Whatever happens, the community will fix it.
That didn't happen with CS. I was hanging around on the GSC and ZSG forums, and it turned from elation at new shiny game to collective horror at horrible replay value and shootery style. Most of the people who were big in the modding business went straight back to SHOC (like dez0wave with lost alpha, and Natvac continuing ZRP for SHOC rather than make one for CS).

I think it'll be different for a game with this amount of new content though. CS didn't really add enough to entice them away from SoC.
Oh, I just realised this is the next expansion pack thread, not Stalker 2. Mea culpa. I still think this will see more community effort though, if they deliver in the content and freedom stakes. Which is admittedly a big if, GSC's past claims considered.

Agreed. I can see the location in my head when I listen to it. The Deadly Silence... Zombies wandering the land... Snorks in the distance... The wind softly rusting the nearby plants and the bleak brown-grayish sky and the general "abandoned" atmosphere... gives me the chills just thinking about it.
I loved the first game.. it had the right mix of FPS/RPG/Horror, the second tripped over itself with invincible Bloodsuckers and some horrible English Dialogue. I've read the third will be more like the first game so I'll definitely be watching and waiting for CoP.

Yeah, one of the most atmospheric and creepy maps, especially with the aural and visual psi effects if one decides to clean out the factory area (at least temporarily). Snorks are horrible things, and they are plentiful in there.
