Yeah Eriks Right~

That PIC was from Metro, however Metro is supposed to be DX11, or DX10 and DX9, whichever you want. I don't know for sure?

To me the only thing that really changes in all Stalker games is the HUD and Backpack GUI etc. Why they take out the Blue Night vision is beyond me.

Scavy is right about Bodies as well, that'll slow the game I think. Also a Million Save game slots filled will bring it to a crawl, or Screen shots if you use the game for PIX.

We all use FRAPS, but I remember TS always having problems with his game lagging too, he took his shots with the game, he also used a Bazillion Save Game files.

So much that his game (SOC) would just freeze, the I said to clear all those save game folders out, and it worked ok again, funny how that works

I think I'll stay clear of COP for awhile. I'm into AVP 2010 now, but I love Borderlands too. Awesome game there!!

Yeah, SOC was DX8, and probably still is to a degree? Not sure there? Looks very nice though. Really DX9 is all folks need. IMHO. DX10 and 11 are just minor improvments

again IMO. Some games use it well, others no. To bad there isn't a NETFLIX for PC games, LOL!! You can rent 360 and PS3 games, on GAME-FLY. I guess PC games are just to easy to copy

and run for FREE. Did you guys check out Shattered Horizon? WOW, I love that game, it's way Different than ANY MP game I've ever played, all the servers are GOING too, tons of them!!

I like that Floating in Space Action, the guns are cool tooo, the Booster, and when you hit the F key it levels you out. I think cheating at SH would be Hard, maybe?

Ah well back to AVP3, I wish Monolith Productions (they did AVP2) would have done the game though, Rebellion did a good job, but I don't like all the Melee stuff.

But I still like it and as I said, after a patch or so it'll be great, if they do it right. They've fixed a couple things at Steam for the game though.

Sorry to go off topic, but nobodies over at AVP3, except Scavy and myself

Blue

I may re-download AVP3, I think I have a corrupt file? I downloaded it along with everyone on the 16th!! I should have waited. No big deal I finished the Marine Missions,

now on Predator Missions. The Predator is way COOL!!

CODENAME OUTBREAK was GSC's first game, much like Stalker, I think I'm the only one who played it!! http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/coden ... mary;title

It was BUGGY as F@#K!! But had some really COOL ideas!!



Link:: http://www.deafgamers.com/codeoutbreak.htm (good info and pix) I really liked Codename Outbreak, it was called Venom, in Russia, I believe.



Blue

well Blue the xray game engine is dx8 they just make it run for the other direct x's is all. real crappy of them aint it? but i guess they will make a new xray engine when they make stalker 2 since by then they would have made enough money from there fan boys rofl, glad i am not 1 rofl !!! but anyways they should have made the new xray engine when they did clear sky it would have ran a lot better and cop as well.

i to keep my save game file to a bare minimum as well but it doesnt help in this game for sure. and in gsc forum they have some ideas that i think is complete BS!! some say keep your hd defrag well that should be a given and some say you should keep your hd about 50% free with nothing on it. rofl like most will have it that way i do right now but it will fill up.

hell i even have my page file set to my other raid 0 so it doesnt even use the drive the OS it is on as well.and i have it set to the amount of ram i have to , but i dont see any difference with it set that way anyways but oh well. and i do keep the games screen shot folder empty since i dont use it at all.

and yeah AVP i really havent gotten into it much but i am not to far into it even though i did get to see a predator so far and he has shot at me and i have return fire. but i do hate the lack of ammo in the game so i have to stick to the dam pistol since it has unlimited ammo for it. but CoP i am still playing it since it is different but has the stalker feel to it yet.

something that i have all ways like and enjoyed but gsc has never followed threw with the optimizing of it over all.

but in game i am in pripyat and making a lot of money since you can get weapons repaired for free and so far i am way over 2million rubles lol

hmm- i accidentally ended the game in pripyat-- did a few missions and then strelok showed up and we headed out for the evac choppers- strelok got killed tho- 1 of our military guys shot him- i seen it- im not sure if he meant to shoot him or not-- but when the choppers came i stayed in free play-- but stopped that and went to a previous save game.. least i know now what to avoid..

i think i read cop has multi endings-- i think i read bioshock2 has multi endings too.. any way. im thinking i might take my exo suit and clean up most guns in pripyat- i will let the military guy fix them all for free- then i will take them to yantar what ever and sell them..

now im trying to figure out how to get the artifact from the building in prip. it has this bug tree anomaly in the middle of 2 buildings and this yellow thing flying building to building-- its chemical on the ground and tree- i can beat that-- but its a artifact over on or in the 1 building-- i guess i have to climb the tree.. any way- i had to much a load before- so i went to sell some- now im going back to that tree-- ive been scouting all of pripyat-- im not trying to end the game now- its still lots of artifacts i have not found yet..

it is a few things about cop i dont not care for- but it is a great game i think-- and i will play it a ton more times-- now i wish i had bio2- and then metro 2033 sounds and looks sweet too-- cop is fun and pretty- i think bio2 is going to be best of all tho

see ya..

well- i got stalker cop about a week ago- the collectors ed- with a poster and some stickers for 40 bucks- not bad... its a cool game.. its not perfect- but still pretty cool.. it looks nice and ive had no crashes. it will slow down but mostly because of all the dead bodies and guns laying around- eats up memory i guess.

** noah has a cool dog..>



stalker cop has a high learning curve. by the time you learn how to do or find every thing half the game is over.. but too- this is the first time ive played the game- and i think it has multi endings and does have free play at the end if you like.. it will end fast in pripyat if not careful. i say just do the first few missions. and wait on the others- take some time to scout pripyat and take guns what ever back to the other levels to sell or hunt more artifacts etc.. it might be good just to do main missions and save side missions to do during free play mode- im not sure..



cop can seem a lil boring at times. you have to pick fights for the most part- in cop bandits dont just attack you- well no human bots do for the most part- only mutants and dogs and zombie stalkers with guns attack you- later some mercs attack you. so that kind of sucks. but being i can walk freely around bandits- i walk up behind them and blow off their heads- i try and time head bobs to take out as many as i can in 1 shot.. the suckers are cool in cop- they will grab ya and start sucking blood out of your face or neck or head what ever- buts its creepy funny and cool for sure..



oh ya.. seva nor exo suits have night vision much less the sweet blue vision- that was half the fun and stalker soc game- getting a good seva or its a lil better duty version- i never liked the exo's my self- i dont like the green night vision either.. and cop dont have the normal zombies- i loved the zombies in soc and the long armed zombies too..



** i miss these guys. ha ha they moan and have attitude when they cant catch ya. they sound so funny and cool..>



cop's trading and repair system take some getting use too- i was 1/3 of the game before i realized i could repair weapons and suits- when at repair guy by pushing repair button under his name- i thought it was just part of the picture or gui.. all i could figure to do was upgrades- but could not fix my gun etc to new- until i by accident pressed the repair button- then another pop up says how much it cost to repair.. but- its best to repair only what you are using-



trying to repair guns to sell- you will loose money.. so its best to only pick up guns near new condition maybe just missing a few [2] clicks on the meter that shows its condition- traders will buy new and almost new guns.. it might be best to put old guns on dead bodies- in his back pack instead of- drop on the ground- might help the game run a lil more smooth.

oh ya. the sleep system in cop is hard to figure out i think. its confusing.. it might be a few more lil things i might not so much care for or miss from soc. but all and all stalker cop is a sweet game.. i will have to play it 4 or 5 more times to really learn it or to see the different endings-- i try not to read guides- but to read a lil helps- it really helps to find the tools- you cant upgrade your gear until you find the tools- its 2 sets of tools per level- each level the repair guys can do more types of work on your gear- so finding all the tools is priority number #1..

** to make your guns and suits new. press the repair button..>



i still have not found all the artifacts yet. and im sure ive made some mistakes in my decisions.. but hey- im just learning stalker cop-- i like it its a cool game.. it looks great- be nice if it ran a lil better had better performance.. if gsc tweaks it- make the dead bodies and guns go away after say 36 hours [game time] performance would be better- all the dead bodies and guns all over look cool- but kills game performance- but you want guns to lay a round for a lil while- just encase you need to go back and pick up some you could not carry before- so.

i like stalker cop- loved soc tho its buggy- i dont have clear sky- but guess i should get it someday- now- im thinking i should install my 4 gig mem kit- tho xp will only use maybe 3gigs or so- im thinking i might try and install and use my bfg 7800gtoc vid card just to do physics- if i read right- i can with new nv drivers. and my mobo is both pcie slots are 16x-


** these lil guys in cop will knock your guns out of your hands and take away your stamina.. this photo is from soc - priboi story mod..>



as best i know - it dont have to be set up in sli- i guess i have to turn on other vid slot in my bios- and turn it on in nv controls- but i think i can do it- my 7800 is 256 bit and memory. it should do physics fine- and take the load off my vid card- the 8800 g92 might do a lil better in fps. maybe i can up video res [size] and up game settings a lil more.. something to think and read about any way..

** a few of my cop videos and my youtube stalker cop play list- later i will do a video play through of cop..>

have fun- see ya..

well actually you would be better off to do all the side mission before you do the main mission and this is why. i did nt do all of them my self and some are 1/2 done and when i did finish the game i had like 4 or 5 left to do so i stayed instead of going with them on the chopper.

and yes there is multiples ending to this 1 as well. and it is up to you and how you play it as well . and i didnt finish all of my mission until after the ending lol but now i have it all done but there is a lot of stashs that need to be found yet. there is some info floating around that will show you where they are at depending on what zone you are at.

i know i have found a lot of them just wondering around by my self anyways and yeah there is some stuff that you need to do that you have to do but it takes a certain order to get it done. like the Oasis ? that 1 was very tricky to get it done and some kept it and some gave it to the scientist. so that is a tip of what it is now so yeah it is not a place per say but a object lol..




there is a mod that will remove the dead bodys and it sure does help it is over at the GSC forum and there is a mod that will remove the intro movies as well. those are the only 2 mods i am running right now.

well- first thing im going to do when i start playing again- is try and get that 1 artifact from them buildings with that big tree and that flying thing.. it might be a glitch- i think the artifact is up on 1 of the side porches what ever they are called.. i will find out. some artifacts or other stuff spawn in odd places sometimes. anyway- ive been posting on a few forums- not played yet to day- so..

um. i guess the oasis thing. i start that by talking to the guy at the scientist bunker- i have not tried to get his artifacts- i just wanted to see what he might be talking about.. so im not sure.. i think i have to get him 1 of every artifact in the game. so its some i have not found yet.. i dont know anything about the oasis thingy.. but after i try and get this artifact from that building in prip- i will go talk to the guy about hunting artifacts for him.. im not trying to end the game until im ready and then try free play -so..

cop has lots to learn or do- so.. i will be playing it for a long while- i hope these few system upgrades help some - well over all pc performance in general- im sure it will help in the games- i hope to set up my 7800 to do physics- if i read right i can-- but i cant use my other system if i take the 7800 out- i dont have another vid card.. so. im not sure what i want to do- i will for sure install the 4 gig mem kit..

see ya..

well as for the artifacts they are all from zanton and yanov and none come from pripyat so that is a clue for you. and the scientist only want 4 artifacts which you do get from zanton the 1st zone you enter and yanov the 2nd zone you get to. pripyat is the last place you go to which really doesnt have any mission in it but a few that you get when you go there but that is it.

they need more mission once you got there but no they didnt. just like i think you should have been able to travel from 1 zone to another by your self and not have to pay someone else to do it for you. like in SoC since i like making the journey my self all the time but now if you want to go from pripyat to zanton to sell your loot you need to spend $4k to do so. but now i can afford it with ease rofl !!

well it is bed time and i am tired as hell

well i got up that tree and into the top apartment. its a artifact there and health and other stuff and a mg and the 7.62 ammo for it.. stalker cop is pretty creepy- no other game ive played has the creepy fx that the stalker games do..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zET306lftvs

i tried to get up on the roof of the other building-- not sure if i can or not.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gz2y-uhAL1A

um the only artifacts i have not found is the oasis and i think a moonlight- i think i did find and sell a moonlight early on- i cant remember now- id like to find another wheel- maybe it is only the 1 in the game.. ive been saving artifacts- thinking it was a mission to find 1 of every artifact in the game.. its only a few i carry and use.. i think i might sell all of the others.. i cleaned up all the guns in pripyat- let the military guy repair them for free- and took the all back to the other maps and sold them- i used my exo.. i dont like the exo- it has no night vision and i cant run in it-- it has good armor and now has 4 pockets.. but i hate the dam things always have.. i never used them.. i only used stalker [with nv] and seva suits..

** some tools in this prip building..>



i think cop is really kind of short- ya it would be nice if it had more missions.. im still looking for the ferris wheel too.. maybe ive missed it.. but i think ive walked over every foot in pripyat and all buildings i can get into.. soon im just going to let the zone take my mind- i will start killing every human bot i see- stalker bandits duty and all mutants and dogs etc.. just for something to do and to see what happens-- then i will do both endings- end game and free play-- i want to see if i can get out of pripyat when i go into free play.. i guess i can.. i hope its still a guide or some other path open up.. if im stuck in pripyat forever- well that will just suck.. we will see..



all and all.. i think cop is a cool game.. i hope some cool mods come out.. i know its some elite mod that will give my sevas blue night vision-- i guess its blue- said to get nv- didnt say green or blue tho... now i need bio2 and borderlands and some dlc's and metro 2033- and dlc's for fo3 and then fallout new vegas.. maybe a all new hl3 game.. i think i can play for ever with just these few games.. oh ya wolfenstein too.. this hybrid combo fps/rpg genre and with free play.. well the game never ends unless you want it too.. they have more user input and i find them more interesting than say a cod4 game..

have fun see ya

well i hate to break it to you but there is no ferris wheel in pripyat and what you see in pripyat is what you get . there is a lot of stash there but that is it. nothing more so far all i have done is went to the center service station the 1 that is 6 stories high. and where everyone 1 goes to and trys to take it over be it stalker, merc,zombie,psedodog,bloodsucker,rats then i walk up to it and take it over and walk away with 119.9 kg of loot !!! rofl

right now i have more rubles then i know what to do with i have like well over $5million right now ROFL!!

and these dam chimeras i am getting tired of them

but the 1 that are the hardest to kill are the psdeogaints it can take many clips of ammo to kill them when a single clip can kill a chimera.

ya well- they show a picture of the ferris wheel on the box-- i figured it was in the game and i was blind or something..

anyway.. i started a new game at master skill this morning- my first game to learn was stalker skill.. this game gets boring easy fast.. i will play it a few more times.. its just not as good or interesting or near as long as soc-- this is more a dlc or cod size time game to me-- you dont have enough attacking you-- not enough missions- and seems after a while less and less artifacts pop up- and some you only get the 1 wheel oasis etc.. no zombies- no night vision on a freaken exo or seva suits- the most expensive suits in the game.. what the hell.. its just stupid..

gees free play would be sweet maybe if it was stalker or zone zombies or something like codwaw zombies- ha ha all that you have killed in the game bots and mutants come back and hunt and attack you on every level- or the trader can send ya on missions to kill them all at different places etc.-

gees i picked up most all guns in the game fixed and sold them-- few artifacts spawn anymore- what is left- stand around and look at stalkers- maybe wish i could make love to them or something- well some might be into that- but im not.. well alyx maybe or some ut04 or postal female bots ha ha..

** i was trying to make love to her- get her to come hang out at my place- but she kept on running away ..>



see ya..
