"Undoubtedly one of the most graphically compelling games coming to the market, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl portrays the infamous disaster zone as you've never seen it before in a way that'll make you think you're there."
"Come to the Jolt area where you could get an amazing first chance to play the multiplayer mode of this breathtaking FPS. Not due until next year, you could gain some major bragging rights by participating in the 8-player deathmatch tournaments being staged every day of the event."

Congratulations. You just got owned by Dird. And that sir, is no small prospect.

hes just a little cog of this huge machine. Like you ;)

Saying that a cog is smarter than you won't really help your case.

who tells that a cog is smarter than me? another cog? cmon...^^

elaborate? links? videos? screenies?

download temporary 2215 mp build (not official demo but confirmed by developers to be released for fans):

Hey can I see where you read that 2215 build was released for the fans. I'm a huge STALKER fan and has been following development of this game for a while now. As far as I heard that "demo for fans" was shown to the Ukraine journalist who sopposebly leaked it.

-Method

some rumors spread that developers leaked 2215 build advisedly, but who knows...

I don't know man.

Ya dumau esli oni hoteli ee leaknut' oni by vypustily MP test i ona bela by dostupna na vseh sitah.

-Method

nu ponachalu tak i bilo, vrode kak eto ne planned leak, no potom, vot nedavno, posle Jan., 15, poyavilas ssilka na CNews. Takoe vpechatlenie, chto razrabotchiki otkrili secrety :>

Yes, yes, I totally agree!

(BTW, would you please translate what you said to english so we can understand?) :>

in the begining it was told that build was not planned to have been leaked but this time links were posted on CNews, with kind permission of developers I assume

But I didn't see ANY word about this release in any gaming news site. If developers had announced something like this, every gaming site would've posted a review or something.

this build shows game state of 2004 year so publisher isnt interested in that. Only developers are, but only to show gameplay (DX8 renderer is way too old ^^)

one of the few games I am waiting for

As a Quaker, the first question that comes into my mind about this game is:
What kind of movements does it have? (Strafejumps, double jumps etc.)

bf/cs/whatever close to reality :>

"it has all chances to revive deathmatch making happy both newbies and skilled players"

:x

"... skilled players from other cs-like games"

So how is it supposed to ruin Quake DM? :)

coz its already played by noone.

lol moron hahaha

better delete this comment or I delete it by myself, monkeygay.

youre so stupid i sometimes enjoy reading your shitarse comments

raped by dad's friends again?

not this weekend, think its ur mums syphilis driving me mad mate :<

dead case :>

i doubt that, it more like cs than quake i think.

is the TSCHERNOBYL SHAFT included in the game ? :P

there is railgun-alike (kinda particle weapon from FEAR) but it costs to match :>

stopped reading at "cs-like"

it's dead by release

Thinking this will make happy anyone into Quake/UT series is really stupid. Maybe its an enjoyable SP experience, but the MP side is just another generic, boring game.

not that generic. It has very positive point - multiplayer emulates real hunt of each for others on extremely open but relatively small map where you cant just predict where you may be shot from, unlike cs/bf where there are only few points at every tactically important spot where sniper can be. So the good player shouldn't shoot extremely well - he should know the map perfectly to use every single chink to get the kill.

Still pointless. Realistic physics with realistic layouts are boring.

If we wanted to play dull as fuck reality games I think we would be by now.

-ix, raged at having been interested in this only to find out it's yet another reality game.

MP sux.

Edit : Stakers MP sux.

Gaming sux!

Yous sux!

Sux sux!

its just rearranged mainstream-friendly mp, dd ^^

this MP beta is dreadful.. if the final game is anything like this it'll blow

it uses DX8 renderer, so do not judge about visuals now. This pre-beta shows core gameplay, and I find it very promising ^^

final game will use DX10(DX9).

you got some commands, option menu not working.

you can adjust things in user_net.ltx config file.
Most common things:
mouse_sens
hud_fov (adjusts not visual fov but weapon's one)
rs_c_... (for brightness, contrast and gamma, seem to reset after quit but numbers dont o_0)

in the whole, config file allows to adjust binds and stuff, things aren't that bad ^^

download link doenst work

try it over time often. it will go.

How you can say its cs-like and then say it will revive dm is beyond me

saying it's cs-like means it has realistic environment with realistic weapons. But its not another cs/bf-clon, thats for sure

how is it supposed to ruin quake dm then?

coz its already ruined :E
Stalker is just supposed to unite all the ppl that lost their own game due to the lack of simple and good dm games.

right..

stop playing q4, tbh i wouldnt trust any game you recommand you seem pretty newish :D

he already stopped playing it or so he says. but i rather tend to distrust his opinions anyway

bahahahah

how can i set the gamespeed down?

//edit
ok i read a faq :>

rs_constant_fps on - no it isnt :(

you talk the most shit of every1 on this site. fact

so I'm expecting award from Sujoy :p

=]]

cs mod i think.

no linux version? next.

as long as there is quake is no need of a new shooter ;)

Quake concept needs something fresh. Same shit for fucking 10 years seems to be boring, especially for new generation of gamers, have been made with Halo 2 in mind.

to me Quake is still fresh ... anybody who wants a decent DM-Multiplayer should play q3 .
the idea/gameplay never gets old imho.

is cs concept fresh?

new game- same concept
better graphics = new gameplay.... game devs' slogan!

lets see if it will unite ALL DMERS!!!!!!!!!!!11111113871298347091873491824@$&@*@($

i think to all quakers this sounds like ordinary cs, bf and etc.

lets better wait for revolutionary severity !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#*(!&!*(!^!&(^#&(!^$&!(^$

mix blood gore splatter with tits 'n asses and u'll get a bestseller

I wish Carmack read that ;)

But you know :> German goverment will ban it too so you will get the game with green blood and with blurred tits and asses :p

that's the problem!
they'd never ban tits and asses ... damn, you can watch hardcore-porn @00:00 on friday, although it's a little cut, teens get to see teh anatomy.

but gore is SO evil

germany wouldnt cencore tits 'n asses - cmon we r not usa :)

but just imagine ... titts............ bloood..... hrhr

this > ut3

God, this is awful. Ban that thread including Copperhead.
Ban UT3 also

See, I read this and I think FEAR Combat.

I remember some moron talking about how FEAR is an amazing game. No, no it's not. It's shit. The skill margin is so fucking tiny, armor does nothing, and even if you're fully stacked, you can still get taken down in 2 seconds if some cunt gets lucky with the particle weapon.

And no, I'm not talking about STALKER, although I'm pretty sure it'll be shit as well.

And I don't know how you can say that BF only has a few entry points. Least linear game so far - I only find it a shame that I have to shoot people after I play cat and mouse with them for 20 seconds, seems like such a bad way to end the battle of wits. Although, the noobs in BF are really, really stupid, like sheep to the slaughter.

fuck that, stalker's like farcry and fear, amazing single player to engross you for days... but shit mp that won't do ass:P
