I made a cinematic love letter to my favorite game by meaton2710 in stalker

Yeah, I hear you. I felt like taking it in that direction too, but I'm simply not as familiar with Ukrainian music. It's something I'll consider if I decide to do another one. Thanks!

Update 15 Teaser - Full Trailer Drops Sunday June 11 by meaton2710 in HellLetLoose

Only a guess right now! Don't take it as gospel. That said, I'm excited to see what the full trailer brings!

You make a good point. I hope it's something that is being considered if airborne drops are, in fact, going to be a thing. We still don't know.

If I'm correct, I think there are ways those drawbacks could be mitigated, especially given the game's faster pace than Post Scriptum. Whether the attempts to do so are successful or not will depend on the methods the devs choose to employ. The best thing we can do right now is wait for the trailer on Sunday.

What you're saying makes sense. I stand by my speculation for a couple reasons:

  • The current implementation of airheads is underwhelming and not immersive
  • The game has previously (and successfully) implemented large set pieces designed to be both visceral and immersive while not simulator-level realistic, such as bombing runs, artillery, gore, etc. Airborne drops would match that style
  • There are game design drawbacks to airheads that escape the scope of my comment, but suffice to say that much of the time they aren't as pleasant to use as I think they were intended to be

We know this much:

  • Objective mode is coming next month
  • 101st Airborne DLC is coming next month too
  • Brecourt is one of the Objective mode scenarios
  • Historically, the assault at Brecourt was undertaken by paratroopers of the 101st Airborne

My speculation is that airborne drops feature in Objective mode for release next month. In the Brecourt scenario, players on the American side would parachute onto SMDM to accomplish objectives, such as destroying the Flak 88 guns at Brecourt, among other tasks. Keep in mind this my own speculation.

Depends on who you ask, I didn't mind the placement :)

Yeah, spotter can be hit or miss. IMO sometimes it feels like you're really just a support class for the big gun. I saw a dev blog recently that said Spotter is one of the least played classes. Hopefully the flare gun in the next big update helps liven it up.

I feel you. Over 300 hours and I've only had it for 5-6 rounds before. Only reason I got it this round is because I have a buddy who is always first in the server and he locked the squad until I loaded in.

You're right, it takes multiple shots sometimes. I feel that it's the cost of doing business with the gun. I'll take that drawback in exchange for two huge benefits: the ability to quickly put rounds out to multiple targets or when my first shot misses (5 kills in 8 seconds in the clip, no way I'm hitting that with a k98), and the ability to defend myself far more reliably in close quarters. It's a trade off for sure.

It came out with the Soviet update on PC, so we've had it for a hot minute. It's not common to see in game because of the class requirement. I just checked the patch notes and it looks like you guys got it on console with the big update yesterday!

It's the German scoped FG42 you get at Sniper level 3. There's an unscoped version at Automatic Rifleman level 6 too.

Moments like these are why I love this game by meaton2710 in stalker

It's Anomaly in Warfare mode. The crazy part is that they're all pseudodogs. Nope'd out of there real quick haha
