Using stealth during "Frontline", "Black Station" and in the bandit stinkhole soon after leaving Riga was actually obvious to me. It may lead to less stashes being plunderable (so you won't be able to get all Mil. ammo, I suppose) but overall it will be better. The only time I went "Rambo" during "Frontline" was when I tried to get the "Hedgehopper" achievement. After I aquired it, I restarted the level in order to get through it "normally".

I have not come across any armor and I am well past the chapter where you climb the tractor to get to the top of the building (that is the route I took anyway). Am I missing something?

There are a few chances to buy armour, that is in the station taken over by communists (when you go into a cart in order to get to the frontline) and in Polis (in the room you have to wait in after your arrival). It is expensive though (at least in Polis, 100 Mil ammo. I don't know what the guys in "Armoury" ask) so I doubt it is worth it.

I am on the hardest non-ranger difficulty, and it would certainly help from constantly getting one-shotted.

Unfortunately I am past both of those points.

Chevalr1c · Jan 4, 2013, 01:54 PM

You will not reach Polis until after Black Station, so there is one more chance (although after Polis the armour won't do you much good because it is either a matter of explosive creatures or a matter of watching your step, while you will need the Mil. ammo in D-6 so rather save it). Oneshot kills of Artyom are well avoidable if you take it easy (even on Rangermode Hardcore). Use shotguns etc only in case hell breaks loose and get to the radio transmitter you mentioned via another way than the digging machine if you can't avoid being seen while climbing up. Good luck.

Wow these shots look amazing! I wonder what the "recommended" system requirements are for full HD glory!

Unless you have a 690 or two 680/670 running in SLI you can't even run the FIRST Metro in "Full HD glory". Nevermind this bitch.

Chevalr1c · Jan 4, 2013, 02:14 PM

Without DOF and Tesselation the game becomes a lot more playable. If your setup plays other games at HD resolutions it will play Metro 2033 too (although without Tess/DOF most likely).

Thats not in full glory is it? FULL GLORY IS EVERYTHING TO THE MAX FACE MELTING WIN!

my 7950 maxes this game out, minus AA, everything else on. Rarely drops below 40 FPS. LL will likely use the same graphics system, tweaked a little bit.

7950 doesnt run it "Rarely drops below 40 FPS" with DOF and 4xAA.

Chevalr1c · Jan 4, 2013, 02:29 PM

3870x2 has AA turned of, forced by the driver as far as I comprehend it.

Thats not maxed out.

Thats like saying my Pentium 2 with a IGP runs Metro 2033 maxed out if I have the computer off and I stair at the game box with 3D glasses on while tripping acid. THATS NOT MAXED OUT.

If you turn anything off it doesnt count as maxed out.

Chevalr1c · Jan 4, 2013, 02:36 PM

"Maxed out" were not my words.

I take that back, it has AA but lacks DOF. Also, at a 40% overclock, my card would be closer to 40 on that chart.

I value your opinion on what you consider to be maxed out. That being said, your opinion is incorrect.

Its not an opinion. Its a fact. You cannot run the game at its maximum setting and maintain a decent 40+ frame rate in HD. If you turn any settings to not maximum guess what......THE GAMES NOT MAXED OUT. Thats fact.

3870x2 · Jan 4, 2013, 02:41 PM

When AA halves your frame rates for very little gain (at 1920 x 1200), I tend to leave it out of what I consider maxed out.

I think it was DOF that was making my game crash.

Screw it. I'm a World War 2 fighter pilot then. I mean I never flew a Spitfire but I watched one on TV once. So I "consider" myself a World War 2 fighter pilot by your standards.

How very cute.

I guess since I am not running 2560x1440 on 3 monitors I am not maxed out. Or what about forcing 8x AA? I could probably go into the ini file and really max things out, meaning all other maxes are obsolete.

I wonder if I can consider that my 7.1 surround is maxed out, but since you are running 5.1, you cant max out until you upgrade that.

1. 1920 x 1080 is HD. Anything above that is gravy. You cannot even do that.
2. Setting it to 8xAA if it goes to that is Maxed out. Can't do that? Not maxed out. Driver forcing doesn't count as that wasn't intended by the game makers.
3. Sound isn't graphics. We were talking graphics but yeah. If it goes to 7.1 and you are only running 5.1 you ain't maxed out.
4. I never said I could run it maxed out. I said YOU couldn't. You said you COULD.

FACT: The TPU member 3870x2 cannot run Metro 2033 MAXED OUT on a 7950 in HD and maintain 40+ FPS.

And yes I am cute.

Chevalr1c · Jan 4, 2013, 03:13 PM

Oh stop it guys

I play it on normal settings, no AA and @ 1280x1024 and the game is fun.

friggin awesome, cannot wait

and reading over the last few posts - it seems pretty simple. no matter how little of an effect you think it has, if you turn any single setting down, you are not maxed.
it's logically a very simple idea, i don't understand the confusion.
