Lol, here's how I beat the game, when I got the PSI gun I started shooting at him untill he dissapears through one of those portals. Then you follow him and end up on that roof, right? Rushed through there as well, ignoring most of Strelok's men. When you teleport of off the building, strelok's man will bombard you with grenades and there will be bad guys in front of you, but after 3-4 tries I managed to get past them, and I saw Strelok running up to a really small ladder, and started shooting him. Before he even read the BIG staircase I killed him. Game over
Problem with the end is, that there are no traders you can resupply at, so if you're running out of ammo or bandages, you're sol ...

Ooooh, nice, a new patch. Maybe I can actually finish the game now (stuck in the hospital) without it having a BSOD every 5 min...
In the mean time I have been playing the first Stalker on my XP box (should have installed clear sky there... might try to transfer save games over and see if that works) and it seems way harder than clear sky. The crap is all super expensive, I can't figure out how to upgrade the guns or armor (is it even in the game?) and the missions are insane. I had to download a trainer to even survive the third main story mission. Maybe I'm not taking my time like I did with clear sky but I found this to be soooo much harder.
I really hope that patch works, I can't wait to get in some more CS.

Funny thing is, I loved that silenced sniper, but you NEEEEEEEEEED armor piercing bullets, or your not going to kill any of streloks men. But, funnier was, there was supposed to be a different sniperrifle, but I never got it. Thats how big the game really is, you can beat it once, and you haven't even seen half of it. I played roughly 12-15 hours maybe, and didn't do much in the way of faction wars. I will be replaying, when I have time !

Upgrading weapons and armor is not available in Shadow of Chernobyl. Your can only get what you can find throughout the game or buy from a trader. The game gets much better and easier after you find better weapons and armor. If I remember correctly there is a pretty good suit in the attic of the last house on the left when coming out of the traders bunker in Cordon. You have to climb up to roof of the house where Wolf is standing (Forgive me if Wolf is not the right name it has been long time since I played this game. He is the guy that can give you your first few side quests in the stalker camp in Cordon.) and run across the roof and jump to the next house. On the far side is a hole in the roof you cannot fit into, but if you crouch and look around in that area you will find a pretty good suit that will help you tremendously during the first part of the game. It is a pain to get to though and it took me several tries but it is worth it.

The last level with Strelok is buggy. My first time through, he fell off the catwalk and got stuck on the ground where everyone is fighting. He was easy picking there.
Second time, it kinda worked, except the POS PSI gun didn't always work (ya, I probably missed). You can start shooting at him right at the start of the level. That's the part where you should try your best to wear him down as much as possible. After you have to chase him, it gets pretty hard having to kill the f*cking overpowered Monolith grenadiers.

I made it through 1 or 2 teleporters before getting fragged repeatedly by the grenadiers. I reloaded and tried sniping Strelok right from the start when you get the PSI rifle. With headshots, I took him down before he got 3/4 of the way along that first catwalk, game over. I was disappointed it was that easy.
