I just spent the last 6 days playing the hell out of this game and I have to admit, it is the most fun I have ever had with a video game. While the main story is slow to develope the atmosphere, side missions, and AI characters more than make up for it. I have played it for well over 10 hours and I'm not even at Pripyat yet. (the majority of the game)

About S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
Based on the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant accident in 1986 "The Zone" as it is called has started to change. Deadly mutants and anomalies have popped up all over the zone. Despite these terrible changes the zone has created many mysterious items, know as artifacts. Artifacts sell for an extremely high price. Stalkers (people who live in the zone) moved there in hopes to find artifacts and get riches; but for most, the journey ends in tragedy. Scientists move to the zone in hopes of making big discoveries inside it. Stalkers form factions and war soon breaks out between them.


Call of Pripyat Storyline
The year is 2012, You are a lieutenant in the Ukranian Military. The military has launched an operation to get to and capture the center of the zone, the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. It is a dangerous mission since no one has ever got to the center and lived to tell the tale. The military sends 5 scout helicopters to map anomalies for the ground assault. Something goes wrong and all of the choppers crash. Your job is to go undercover as a Stalker and find out what happened to the helicopters. The rest of the story unfolds from there.


Call of Pripyat Gameplay
A bit of a challenge to explain. It is an open-world FPS with some RPG elements. The game is focused on survival and is much more difficult than your average run n' gun game. Plan your attacks carefully; preserve ammo, it is hella expensive; always find cover in a fight, standing in the open will get you killed, and try to avoid anomalies. The game never holds your hand and there are a few missions where it doesn't even tell you where to go. That means that it will give you an objective and a location but it is your job to decide how to finish that objective. My advice is to ask stalkers in the area but that doesn't always solve things.


Bottom Line
The game may not be for everyone, but I find it one of the funnest games available.

The google ads? This is what it looks like on my computer.

What exactly did they copy from MW2? In my opinion, Bad Company 2 is much better than MW2. MW2 sucks, period.

HAHAHA.  Your one man AA branch clan.  Yeah.  That's it.  I would love to see your "clan" go up against Ak4.

drop sniper from your team and see how far you will get in the tournament. I'm guessing not very far. Crunk and orange are your only good players. Don't talk shit when your clan isn't that good.

XBOX 360 imo!!

Yea, because FPS games that require precision are much more enjoyable with a thumbstick.

I know right? consoles suck for FPS games. The only reason I would even think about buying an FPS game for 360 would be if my friends have it or my PC can't run the game.

LOLOLOLOLOL. I get iPod mini. =)

LMAO.

  I think I know what you are going to say though. 

Like how every American now thinks that wearing Gucci makes you rich. Apple is the OS/Hardware equivalent.

this is true. I like how people think they are better than you just because they own a mac, as if the mac itself makes they more classy.
