The premise of the mod is to take the factional warfare aspect of Stalker: Clear Sky and make it the entire focus of the game, rather than a neglected feature.
Best mod so far. It actually resurrects the whole Faction Wars mechanics of Clear Sky. Despite the fact that there are still minor bugs, and also the sad thing that you can't go to the Chernobyl NPP anymore, since it focuses on Factions, it is still a mod that everyone needs if they want to see multiple stalkers fighting for territory after a local wild goose chase (Clear Sky chasing Strelok) affected the whole area (Zone) instead. Keep up the good work!
Very fun mod the only problem is that i keep running out of squads
This mod is bringing the whole gameplay to a completely different level.
Actually, I was dreaming about this kind of Mod for any of the Stalker Games!
Should The Zone really exist, I believe conflicts between parties involved would inevitably lead to kind of "war", taking into account the sweets The Zone is offering.
Talking about the recent 3.8 edition, it is buggy, NOT very survivalistic but it opens sooo many new opportunities.
I was able to bypass most of the bugs that led to CTD and get to the point, where you actually can join some of the Factions and start the real "Faction War".
9 points out of 10 because of problems of Factions AI (I attack the base, kill a bunch of fellas, then wait hidden somewhere and other fellas go from ALERT Mode into "I don´t give a sh*t about those dead bodies of my comrades and I am not interested to find out who did it" - you know what I mean).
What I especially like is the abundance of opportunities to earn nice money. So you don´t need to be collecting crap and selling it for close to nothing. Of course, you need to start somehow, but it doesn´t take much time.
Game crashed randomly upon traveling to Garbage from Army Houses, now crashing even at starting .exe... Reinstall didn't help, saves are corrupted... Worst mod EVER! Also there is insane grinding, traveling 3 locations for couple RU needed to join faction at start...
This mod has such a slow, fetch quest driven beginning that that I've spent 2 hours running around the entire map with nothing going on just to have my factions quest giver bug out and crash the game (Freedom faction) so I can't even begin the "faction war" because I didn't "gain their trust". This whole beginning sequence of the game is completely unnecessary. I get that this is free, but it's not hard to torture someone for free. I wish there was a console command to just skip all the running bs/trying to pin point positions. Props to the people that had the patience to get through it, I can't.
A slightly different approach to the games; instead of working your way to disable (or fix) the brain scorcher, you work on taking over camps and getting the best loot.
This mod friggin' amazed me dating back in 2014.
Great mod, however found some things that should be resolved like the main quest that you got into to join a faction but once you arrive at Duty base for example to join them.. "sorry we dont trust you enough" how does this make sense??
the lack of weapons in this mod its kinda frustrating and gets boring after a while
no fast travel system
weapons not telling which ammo they use
Great overall, I prefer it to anomaly, but has some bugs and CTDs
In all aspects fun, a bit grindy but a fun kind of grind. Some features are annoying like the chopper or getting robbed by bandits. Solid 8/10 I do recommend.
