to be fair, Ecologists are usually escorted by mercenaries or Duty soldiers who do most of the fighting. i like to think that the Ecologists that walk around the zone are stalkers that have been hired by the Ecologists to find artefacts and anomalies in the zone while the actual scientists remain in the bunkers. I think it would be cool if the developers would add unarmed scientist Ecologists who would join the armed Ecologist-hired Stalkers on patrols. have you read the book that this game is based on? it's called 'A Roadside Picnic', it's actually really good imo, it's an essential read if you're a fan of the game. Anyway, in the book, the main character, Red, is one of many stalkers that are hired by scientists to obtain artefacts. At the beginning of the book he accompanies two scientists and guides them through the Zone. The suits that the Ecologists wear in-game are also based on the protective suits that the scientists (and the Stalkers they hire) wear in the book. I'm 99.9% sure that the Ecologists are based on the scientists from the book.

I also feel that it's important to point out for anyone who isn't familiar with Anomaly yet: the mode showcased in this video is Warfare, which is an optional mode for Anomaly. This plays very differently from the Story mode, where you get three storylines (although one of them is relatively short compared to the other two) to complete, and is very well-made and enjoyable. Although these storylines are only available to about half of the total factions, the other factions have dynamic storylines, starting from their faction leaders, that you can play if you want to. There's also Survival mode, which replaces NPC spawns with zombies that will head towards your location, if you're into that sort of thing. Finally, there's Azazael mode, which, upon death, lets you take over another randomly-selected NPC in the Zone and play as them. This obviously doesn't work with Story mode, but it's good if you're doing Survival or you're just sandboxing around. TLDR: this video is a neat showcase for the Warfare mode, but is by no means the extent of the mod and plays very differently from the other modes on offer that other players might enjoy more (I've dipped my toes into Warfare mode, but Story mode is my favourite by a long shot).

[@StuGLyfe]

Nice to see more people playing Anomaly. Don't let the difficulty or realism turn you off from the game, you can customize the damage you do, the damage enemies do, whether or not those little animations play when you use items, etc. I will also say this, the safest path is not always the most straightforward. You were lucky the zone spared you when you walked into that anomaly.

Да, я даже как-то не осознавал, что эта игра является такой, а точнее, эта модификация. Остаётся только объеденить все аддоны, чтобы можно было скачать в один клик то, что мы видим на экране, сделать сборку стабильной и добавить сюжет.

Biggup the Anomaly love. The STALKER modding community are gods among men.

[@GugureSux]

STALKER Anomaly is nothing more than a sand-box free-roam mod, made into a standalone executable. There's dozens of such mods out there, but only very few of them have been made into standalone games. Anyone who has not played STALKER yet, thinking about starting with this mod, is doing himself a great disservice.

[@checken9658]

Disservice? When was trying something a disservice? Nothing more than a sand-box free-roam mod? Right.. get your head out of your ass. It's about the atmosphere and the endless tweaks to suit your own style of gameplay. Who are you to tell us that the things we want to do in this mod is a disservice to ourselves?

[@Beowulf-sn8ir]

It's a really damn good overhaul mod. If you have any questions about the mod or want to get into modding your game (community made addons or making your own modifications) I recommend you check out the discord, very friendly community. Even if you just want to get into the game at least check out the options menu, Anomaly is very, very customizable.

[@sturmgewehr449]

I was playing this just a week ago. Anomaly mod + weapons modpack is amazing. Probably will be better than Stalker 2 when it comes out.

[@divisionunion1658]

hey much love man, always loved stalker and its community

[@xavierbishop1840]

Absolutely LOVE seeing someone cover this hidden gem. STALKER completely renovated the FPS survival genre with so many innovative and creative ideas and mechanics, and still stands strong even after a decade of being built on an old game. The team behind Anomaly are amazing, and cant wait for STALKER 2. FYI, Anomaly doesnt make Stalker a Fallout Style game. Fallout and Bethesda DIRECTLY took inspiration in FALLOUT3 from STALKER games, this game was breaking boundaries before the big dogs in the gaming industry.

[@Amonny]

Best version of STALKER? Debatable. Story and feeling wise, NO. On the other hand, the stability is waaaaaaaay better with the new engine. Graphics, the same. You can install 4k or whatever textures you want and make the game look very modern. The gameplay is way more diverse and there are hundreds of mods already, made especially for Anomaly. What the devs need to do now is to concentrate a bit on the ZONE part of the game (mutants, story, feeling, mood, specific quests).

Bad suggestion. Anomaly is wildly different to the original STALKER series and it is more focused on tactical and survival. If you want to play STALKER, don't start with Anomaly, it's not the same as STALKER. Go start with SOC or pirate it something. Plus, Anomaly runs shit on low-medium PC. Anomaly bad for beginners.

[@dudlEEk]

youre right, about the game not being beginner friendly, but i think its optimized way better than the original Stalker, run flawlessly, basicaly maxed out on my old 1060.

[@xhg7a]

You’re right, ALWAYS start with the base games. If you play anomaly first you aren’t a real stalker

[@StarFury2]

This video has a lot of misinformation, and it's used for self promotion. Download Anomaly from ModDB instead.

[@xhg7a]

exactly. everyone should play the originals first

[@kody.wiremane]

iirc, if you press rmb with a knife in your hands, you'll perform a stabbing attack, which deals more damage compared to the lmb attack; useful for breaking obstacles and boxes.

[@dylanwight5764]

Anomaly is the most vanilla-like of the Call Of Chernobyl family while still feeling like a completely different game to the original trilogy. Call Of Chernobyl itself is the attempt to mate the content of the official trilogy into one sandbox on an updated version of the original engine. In that respect, you can sort of view Anomaly as a standalone game developed from a standalone mixing pot of official game elements. Wild.

I had Stalker when it was originally released years ago. And even with all the issues, and everything it had working against it, all the crashes and whatever. It was still so much fun I kept pushing forward on playing it. I eventually gave up though because I then had PC problems, and decided to wait for patches or something, I forget. But now looks like the perfect time to return to it. It was very ambitious for the time, and it is everything I wanted in a FPS. The kind of game where you can get so drawn in that 10 hours can pass without you noticing. Just want to explore over here a little then I'll stop, hour later it's just found this area I gotta check this out first
