Suppressors have advantages other than making your weapon as quiet as possible. While they can reduce the volume of a shot considerably, the real advantage of a suppressor is to make it extremely difficult to tell where the shot was fired from. It doesn't do much good to know someone is shooting at you if you don't know where the shots are coming from. It's an interesting phenomenon to hear in person.
You then have the accuracy of supersonic rounds coupled with a confused enemy.
They should have just been honest about the reasons why, I doubt it had anything to do with realism.
Anyone who's ever shot with a scope knows this is more definitely not true for an experienced shooter. And even people who close one eye typically have some edge vision due to relief distance.
They won't have a chance to turn on me, I always shoot first.
That's a horrible video card to pair with the rest of that.
Can we get an optional scope add-on to restore the outer view field? While I can understand it on a 9X, it's hokey on 1-4X. No accomplished shooter closes one eye when using them. Otherwise the mod is fantastic, and vicious.
You could get there in a plane, you'd just have to lose the wings, landing gear, tail section, and half the cockpit "landing" it. ;)
I believe according to the Jurassic Park book, the reason T-Rex had motion based vision was a result of the frog DNA. The frogs they used had that trait, they hunted by motion. It stands to reason that not all T-Rex's created through this method would be motion based vision hunters then; a different T-Rex DNA sample may not have the same hole in it, therefore the frog trait would never be passed to them by filling in the gap.
I don't think they ever explained it in the movies.
Playable frame-rates are for the weak! Put them everywhere!
All I want for X-Mas is SMRTER Pripyat. ;)
I think it is a Dark One. If you've ever seen the concept art they have one with tattered clothing on that looks just like that.
I'm pretty sure he's never going to release it, just torture us with media displaying it's hotness until STALKER 2 is released. *shakes fist*
;)
5 seconds later he shoots that guy in the back and steals his stuff. ;)
I think it's fine how it is. I don't picture someone with a pricey Eastern Bloc rifle scope using a Walmart flashlight. If anything the Stalker flashlight is unrealistically dim for a tactical light.
It's so easy to die in Redux that the flashlight is usually a liability anyway. I always try to use it as little as possible.
Glad to see some signs of life. This mod is by far the one I would most like to see finished.
I think the amount of time needed to make that happen far outweighs the benefit. Ask GSC to implement it for STALKER 2, Beacon has many more places to focus his attention that will pay greater dividends.
The British have always been an exceptionally lost cause where the AI is concerned... I think the only way to fix them would be to force them to build all their command trucks in the starting zone. They seem to have a hard time deciding where to place them, and try to blockade run the enemy with them instead.
Did you guys retool the AI? I just had the sexiest (6p)Lyon AI Fragfest EVER.
They take a cut of any items sold for real world cash.
Blizzard died when North was closed. All that remains now is Activision's whores. Let us hope that our industrious Taiwanese brethren who are crafting LAN for SC2 can assist us in circumventing this travesty.
Good thing? Something tells me he's going to shoot them soon and take their stuff...
Do we need more aggressive AI code? It already mops the floor with my face fairly regularly. ;)
36 maps full of STALKER induced holy crap moments... This mod will be Legendary.
I think the excitement you see stems from the concept of the entire mod more than this single image. I myself would very much like to see every region from all 3 games in a single mod.
Death better be as easy to suffer in this as it was in Redux or I'll be disappointed. Overall it sounds great, hope you find time to include maps from the other games. STALKER always feels too small in land mass.
Pripyat is a good place to put them. It always seemed fairly void of life and could use some roaming zombie hordes.
Did you add the Cordon to Redux or are you just playing with the SDK? Glad your back BTW.
Sounds like a map problem. I saw this a lot when I was checking out a bunch of custom maps to see if any of them were worth keeping to play on. Any time I tried to load one that wasn't compatible it would dump me back to the main menu.
It'll be interesting to see if we get some folks creating entirely new maps. I probably should download the thing and see what it looks like cause I might even be up for that.
