The way the zone was always meant to be, envisioned, excecuted, and pulled off brilliantly. The Mod is surprisingly well done for a game that had so many issues in it's vanilla form.

+PROS
+New Weapons adding variety to a previous limited selection menu

+New Ammo, because .357 Incendiary is a must have for hunting

+Reworked Damage System for ammo type, so that stash of armor piercing isn't as great for bandits anymore. Exo-suits on the otherhand...

+New Textures and weather, bringing a gritty and dark atmosphere to the zone

+Reworked minimalist HUD, so things aren't in the way anymore

+Improved AI, Sure, they still walk into things and do stupid stuff at times, but the AI was flawed from vanilla, Credit given for the vast improvements made to them. Negative however due to their pro-league baseball grenade pitching ability. Your cover is no longer valid.

+Reworked and brutal economy to make you value what scraps you can find, and to make you really work for the item's you need and want.

CONS

-Ear-Piercing PSY-mutant noises, that seem to be able to do physical harm to the player as well as their character. It does add some difficulty fighting them however.

-Cats! Nuff said without spoiling it. They'll get you every time.

-Permanently invisible bloodsuckers until they're chewing on your neck. Again, difficulty makes it more exciting to hunt them (If you can find them first)

-Eating mutant parts because you're starving slowly to death, and then dying of radiation poisoning.

Overall, by far the best mod for STALKER COP I've played in a very long time, that has brought this game back up into my all time favorites. it is brutal, it is unfair, it is Miserable. Welcome to the Zone as it should have been.
