A is for Advanced!

Okay, if you have S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl installed, here's what you should do.

Download the following

• ABC: Advanced Balance & Collision
• ABC: Mod v1.0
  
• ABC: Inferno

Vanilla STALKER was fun, but the ABC content just makes it awesome. Here are just a mere few of the ways it will turn your STALKER experience into something hardcore:

• Night is realistically dark. As in, you can't see a f****** thing without your flashlight.
• The weather's got a mind of its own. In the space of five minutes it'll go from Spring Break to Silent Hill, and so on.
• Occasionally you'll receive a surprise visit from several angry ghosts and undead, all intent on making you bleed all over the place. Let's just hope you're with a group of allies when this happens, because once you hear the invisible girl scream, you're going to wish you had more ammunition.
• More mutants in more places. In the hour I first started, I came face to face with a Pseudo-giant standing on the bridge less than a minute's walk from the newbie outpost you start the game in. I also ran into at least three new mutant types.
  
• More inter-faction fighting. Also, I get the option to continue playing indefinitely, even after the whole end-game debacle.

Just grab it and start playing.

SCREENSHOTS:

If you think you're safe at this distance, think again.

"... what the hell happened here, Jeff?!"

This is not as dark as it gets.

Silent Hill took a turn for the worse.

Not sure what time of day it is.

Can you see anything?

Your flashlight will be of infinite value when nightfall comes.

MY RETINAS!!!

"I'm a lonely loner, a lone wolf..."

That can't be good.
