Not so bullet spongey any more, much, much less than Density.
I reinstalled and found that 10 extra levels have been added. Was 30, now 40 I think. I'm already at 34, I forgot how much fun I have with this game.
Been loving my time with STALKER 2, it's exactly what I wanted coming from the base stalker games. Just had a full play through of Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat to refresh my memory on events before starting certain quests in Stalker 2.
Many are seeing this as Warzone's last chance but the reception hasn't been very favourable as Activision seemingly throw one last ditch attempt at saving the mode. What made the original Verdansk/Warzone so popular was the solid mechanics, BR still somewhat fresh and the global lockdown. The servers were also reliable and there wasn't a culture of cheaters. Warzone has gone downhill ever since with an increase in cheaters, the removal of content and a mishmash of mechanical changes that really affect the core gameplay. With BO6 seen as the worst for authentic movement and Activision still trying (and failing) to create a functional anti-cheat, I think this will flop massively. It may bring a lot of people back initially but I cannot see any longevity and it all seems rather desperate.
