Besides that, I can not wait to STALKER CoP released. Best 1player fps in my opinion: it offers thing nobody does and try to innovate in the genre.

Thats very very true. Stalker is not only graphics. It uses resources also for other things except graphics and physics for example the A-Life AI system. For sure its not perfect but it tries to innovate. What it is implemented in Stalker A-Life is a small part of what truly A-Life system can do.

Stalker is a lot more advanced than other FPS games such as Left4Dead... L4D is quite a simple game... its also mostly a corridor shooter and the parts outside look nothing like Stalker... day /night cycle, dynamic lighting etc....

So yes this game will be more demanding than others, but I do admit CS is a bit too demanding at 7 to 9am because of a bug id say.

I've read that the 1.6 engine version offers up to 50% improvement in FPS... which would make it quite playable even on older hardware.

Looking forward to this one a lot.
