Fifty Thousand People Used to Live Here....

On April 26th 1986 in the early morning hours the Number Four reactor at Chernobyl Power Plant Ukraine suffered a catastrophic accident. During an experiment to test the reactor's ability to safely run in the event of an external electrical supply outage, a tragic oversight resulted in the extreme overheating of the reactor core. A deadly steam explosion followed by a second explosion two minutes later and ensuing fire released a cloud of toxic radiation 100 times more potent than the first atom bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined.

Wow! Infinty Ward really did their homework.

[snittolo]

They copied stalker, either one works.

You spend so long running round shooting computer characters in a place and then you find out the place exists and bad things did happen there.

[NiraTum]

i guees we never stop thinking about what was out there, or maybe just maybe we dont want to think that.....

Edit:

we need to make a biger consience about that placem and about we are playing

[ikkokucrisis]

whoa after playing through that level, those pictures are creepy...

[Zhuk]

if you actually saw videos of pripyat when it was a thriving town it was a model socialist city, one of the newer ones in the Soviet Union and the standard of living was comparable to the west, definitely far more cleaner and prettier than most western cities that's for sure.

One of the better places to live in the USSR before 1986

[KidMakeshift]

I would love to explore all the abandoned cities around the world like Hashima island, which is like saying I want to go to Silent Hill (I kinda do)

[Skerj]

LMAO have fun going to Silent Hill that's a trip I'll never want to make. I always said in the first one, I'd have left my daughter because something wouldn't have been right. The second, I just wouldn't have paid attention to the letter. The third I'd have went out of the mall the NORMAL way, and the 4th, you could just kick out a window instead of going through a mysterious tunnel in your bathroom.

but does anyone know if infinity are planning on releasing a patch (for the PS3) so that you could have coop online like Warhawk.
By they way COD 4, is pretty much the best game i have ever played.

[boodybandit]

I had no idea of this incident. It makes me want to play the game again because of how surreal it might now feel while playing that level. The game was intense enough without my knowledge of this. I wonder if it will be even more intense now.

Great find JamShady.

[Salvadore]

Wow, I thought it was a fictional enviroment.

[Premonition]

The movie Hills have eyes was based on this place, and also if you guys didnt notice in CoD4, you can hear kids talkin in the building its kinda creepy, and if you dont want to be scared dont go to youtube and search for the victims, cause they look very scary, something ive never wanna see again.

[Interpol Agent]

Very interesting article.

[Skerj]

If you guys haven't played Stalker on PC yet, then do so. It's all about this and it is DAMNED freaky the further you get.

[monkey602]

I'm kind of interested in it but my PC isnt good enough.

[SpaceCowgirl]

instead I find a "wikipedia page" that tells me a bunch of stuff that everyone who can access this site and page should probably already have known about.

I am surprised their are no customary 50 people yelling "THIS IS NOT NEWS"

[jorellpogi]

What a sad history.

[THX7168]

I hate that Ferris Wheel. Doesn't provide enough cover from enemy fire.

:-)

[Lionsguard]

Ferris wheel is the wrong place to hide, forget your comrade he won't die, run behind the bumper car platform (Not on top of it) they can't ambush you from behind because theres a fence and they're really cautious approaching you so you can just shoot them as they come or shoot them across the bumper car platform. You can't die.
