  1. Ah, the land of Siberia - rich on natural resources, poor on developed amenities. That and two weeks of summer can set u drinking vodka w/ the locals in no time. Though I grew up in Moscow and traveled across the great landscape of my native country, I never ventured that far north. But for a westerner, you are experiencing first-hand Russia's two main curses/fortunes - cold & roads (i.e. infrastructure) that cursed Napoleon and Hitler advancement, and yet still hinders contemporary economical developments. But, back to the game. I was wondering if the version of the Hammer & Sickle add-on you bought requires the Russian version of the original game. I would think so. But, I'm curious if the add-on will work on the English version. I'll be happy to cover the cost and shipping charges to get the version to (warm) NYC; heck, I'll even throw in some self-heating packets. I will try to translate the game's nuances since as I understand it's not linear. This could prove a long delay to answer your question, but it might be still faster before the English version is officially released.

    reporting a correction [ GoVoR solemly loads a single bullet into his trusty Beretta] Hammer & Sickle is out in Russia as of April, 22nd. I'm yet to find any conclusive data on the english version. On top, those of us residing in US are doomed w/ the poor distribution channel.

    To fgbrooks: im going to continue here the thread about ur mod, which i started on nival forum. after more play time w/ the mod, my earlier poinst about npc healing and damage messages proved to be unfound. what i am curious is how the loot prices supposed to work now. on one hand, i found the reduced prices on all equipment for sale at the base. on the other, the weaponary, which i hoard back from encounters, are not now sell for twice/thrice less, i.e. lee engfield rifle for $50 or mp 40 for $150. i wouldnt quip w/ that, but since i can't do the bank job encounter again (even after folllowing Stryker's post), my cash flow is dwindling on base healing and occasional stats upgrade.

    i've been enjoying playing fgbrooks's mod. npc are smarter using covers & nades to flash out my stealthy scout. i do find a bit challenging w/ my sniper's head shots. though, i like the motto "1 shot, 1 kill", as i recall there was a stand alone mode in S2 which allowed instant death for a successful head shot. that could be overpowering when, lets say, medic w/ less speciality than sniper can execute the same feat. btw, i dont think the mod affects the scripted mission. imo, NPC's lvls & skills seem to be preset. since even w/out the mod, UN mission was difficult enough.

    [ask and you shall recieve] News about H&S: Nothing substantially new to report. I didnt find a demo version on the usual sites, so I dont think it exists yet what i did find was that Nival was releasing more info about the game's contents. coinsidently, it's already on English version of the site. though, , the english version has some colums' headings mixed up. it's no biggie, really. u can easily compare w/ the "accurate" russian version Nothing real new about the disclosed equipment. Though, i dont remeber seeing DeLizi in S2 (dont know about S3 since i only started playing it) The introduction looks like to be the first of many (why I want to see the actual Hammer & Sickle as melee weapon! Boris' axe was a bit bulky for my scout's taste). So, as I learn more, I'll pass the word happy gaming

    here is how to make it work. install Novik's S3AddMod into S3 main directory. now install fgbrooks's mod into (already existing) game's sub-directory 'mods'. then execute Novik's application [outside of the game], it will prompt for choices of the saved games along w/ available mods to modify them. start up S3 and load the modified game. presto!!! it should be point out that you will likely notice a delay on the game load-up screen. other than that, the mod is superb, imho. especially since it is the first complete alteration. i posted a few questions to fgbrook on Nival's forum. to Slaughter & DoomMunkey, i understand you have been looking for Russian language translator. Pity, I missed the time when Hammer & Sickle mod was available as a download. But, if you need any help w/ the lingo, I'll do what i can. i've been fan of the game since i first learned it was made in my old home country. told every1 about it. dissatisfied w/ poor US distribution, i ordered the game from UK, and the stand-alone expansion from NZ. cheers, Za Rodinu, Ura-aaaa!!!
  9. Rejoice my fellow American comrades-in-arms!!! like many of you, I was blown away by the original game. but the frustration with the north american distributor drove me to the wall. quick google led me to the outback publication company (why did the good folks of s2hq.com never advertise it is beyond me ). just placed the order, $37 and 1-3 weeks is the best deal out there, folks http://www.auran.com/auran/shop/Display_Product.php?PID=83 hmmmm, Za Rodinu, Ura-aaaa!!!
