yeah for each gun it cost "online money" to get them ,you get the money by killing ,but for each gun its a different price ,so if you re using a gun that cost say $500 to use but you dont kill anyone then it sucks

I've finished this game twice now and on my third play.
A truly awesome game with mind blowing graphics!
It's a bit hard on the pc, mine struggles to play it on high settings.

You pick guns, ammo, medi-kits etc of the dead guys so no need to buy anything.

If you like Half-life2, this game has the same eerie atmosphere, but better.
Outstanding AI behaviour, you WILL get hunted down by the other factions.
The town of Pripyat and the Chernobyl power plant are all modelled of the real thing, very impressive.
The weather is constantly changing and day turns to night every hour or so.

At times it kind of brings home what really happened on that day in 1986, it's that good.

The attention to detail is the best i've ever seen, no wonder it took 5 years to make!
Some of my screenshots if you're interested:

I just picked this game up at the mall (yes, we have malls here!)

It is very cool with great AI and excellent graphics. Very realistic looking buildings and landscapes. But even my new gaming laptop has trouble running it on the highest settings. But runs fine if I lower them a bit.

I'll post more as I get farther into it.

Yep, I just kill and steal what I need.
