So my fellow s.t.a.l.k.e.r fans I found Oblivion lost's site very interesting, due to the fact that I havent yet playes CS or even seen it... (Guess what its not here yet...) and it shows a wjole bunch more stuff than S.T.A.L.K.E.R's official website. But Im trying very hard not to look at the CS forums although its hard atleast you guys dont give everything away...
Ive got a couple of questions about CS and Stalker COS:
1. (VERY IMPORTANT) Is CS's maps the same size? Or smaller? Or how about giving me some good news that its a lot bigger? And is there more maps or the same amount?
2. So Im not going to play as Strelok anymore, why not? And will I see Strelok in CS as a npc?
3. How's the story this time?
4. How buggy is the official release?
Then on another note, what's the best mod for COS? I mean the one where everything is made better and a-life doesnt go all mutant on you and spawn a hundred pseudo giants in cordon..........?
Thanks

CS includes only 4 new maps: Swamp, Red Forest, Hospital, Limansk. Other maps are from SoC but they're revised. I saw only Swamp from the new maps, and it's huge, I think 4 times larger than Cordon. I read Red Forest is large too, but Hospital is tiny.

Because devs wanted you to play as a mercenary in the prequel. About the latter question - yes.

They say considerably worse (or rather more straight, simple and clear) than in SoC.

Without latest patch - quite, especially as for AAA title (actually I don't know if it's considered AAA or not), but then again, when I remember Gothic3...... :rolleyes:

For now the best mod for me is real weapons names mod. And it's too early to ask for global mods (where "everything is made better") I think.

Swamp is about 1-1.5 cordon, it just has more stuff in it.

After comparing space they take on in-game map, I'd say Swamp is 2 times larger.

This. Swamps is fucking huge.

Cool thanks...
Oh another couple of things:
1. 242, so weapon names mod is best, I'll look it up and take your word for it.
2. How does the weapons and so forth handle this time?
3. And hows the directx10 graphics compared to 9?
Oh and just on the interesting note;
1. Stalker: Clear Sky is coming to our shores end of next month... looooong wait.
2. Our President just resigned and so did our Financial Minister, and oh they just warned all fellow citizens on national tv not to try anything funny...
WTF does that mean!!! Dont complain? We're turning into Zimbabwe v2.0
(True compared to the official release of COS it was crap... I remember installing 1.0001 and thought wow what a difference)
Kidmystik, do you have CS? Tell me I need to know! Freak I cant wait...

It's nothing more than real names for weapons instead of fictional.

I haven't yet made up my mind on this. It's kind of strange when compared with how it was in SoC, all weapons of the same class have now nearly same stats, so there is no difference between f.e. AKS-74/2 and Enfield L85A2, but now you can upgrade any of them, the upgrade options are quite numerous. In their not upgraded state they all seem weaker than in SoC.

Ok cool thanks for the intel.
So guys be very happy that you dont live where I live... What a shame.
Anyways anybody else have something to say? :thumb:
242 whats your favourite song at the moment? Rock? Club? What?
Still overall even for all the problems I've had with SOC I really cant stop playing it. Theres so many different ways to kill mutants and Ive atlast figured the grenades out so now killing them is even more fun.
And we got our first stalker server running here so now I can do some multifragging.... hehehehe

Many songs are my favourite, mainly synth pop/rock, moody electronic, ambient.
