Great mod, only played few hours but the version 1.4 fixed all issues I had with this game. The 64bit engine is HUGE IMPROVEMENT and this is the ultimate way to go forward with STALKER. There is absolutely no point to play other mods now :-) BRAVO !

For me best mod for SOC I have played so far. Pretty stable, great looking and lot of fun. On the other side its pretty damm hard too. Thanks for this mod, I strongly recommend to install this.

Very good & solid mod. The levels are amazing and they are very big. There are some cool parts, lot of surprises and also plenty of time spent in underground. Even that this mod is pretty polished now its still far away from COC. Its not stable and there are some obvious bugs (for example raining inside of buildings, pixel imperfections, etc.)

There are few main CONS I found:

* Last 2 levels the Chernobyl plant and the last X lab seem to be missing the magic, looks like developers were in hurry here and did not spent much time with the end of this game.

* Animation - from start they are ok but there are plenty of bugs and incorrect animations, missing sound etc. The last X lab animations are the worst and it totally spoiled the end of the game for me as there were too many and took ages to listen to them all.

* Driving a car is a nightmare again something that was not developed correctly

* There is huge time spent with traveling long distances and no car around. Spent 25% of game just walking which I dont mind but felt empty.

* There are still some bugs and game crashing but despite this it was worth playing it.

PROS:

* Amazing levels and their depth. Plenty of new locations and very detailed graphic.

* Very solid and interesting story especially the beginning and towards the end was fantastic.

* Some great unexpected elements and surprises which make this mod great and fun to play just wish there would be more of those and more often.

I am very happy that I played this mod and can recommend this to any Stalker fan it wont disappoint you. Also received great technical support from this team, bravo.

This mod still needs some more polishing to fix all bugs and maybe add some more thoughtful missions plus cutting of the unnecessary traveling time then we will have here simply the best mod out there.

For now I would give it 8.5 from 10.

COC is the best STALKER experience. Its very well optimized, pretty stable and as the only mod out there this is able to perform well when packed with other addons. I recommend to get the absolute nature and structures redux, increase weapon damage, call of ambient, AO and some other mods. The result is fantastic. Amazing atmosphere with Crysis like graphic experience, high quality sound and very realistic combats.

I only wish there would be more story addons / mods to this. Otherwise this is 10/10 and best mod out there. (this is for the version 1.4.22 :)

Amazing difference, this mod is superb. Very high hardware demands force to decrease the graphic options also on high end gaming computers. Will hope for some optimization here soon. Upgrade mod for COP game. I hope they make this usable for COC too. Thank you for this great mod.
