A new multiplayer map is now available for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky, optimized for four-on-four competition, though it will support up to 32 players. The map is a 5MB download, available on this page. Thanks The Patches Scrolls.

If you guys have read my previous posts on here, you'll know I'm a big proponent of pirating games as a way of trying out the full product before purchase. I always purchase those I feel deserve it, and as buggy as Clear Sky is, the intent that the developers have in making these games is enough for me to buy them outright. I guess it's worth saying that people have many different reasons for their purchases, as I'm also the kind of guy who won't pay for a game for something as little as having all those fucking advertisements in the intro (Crysis I'm looking at you). The show-stopping bugs have kind of put a damper on my experience so far, but at the same time I played through Stalker 1 multiple times, so I'm not too crushed. Plus I had low expectations for the quality of the experience out of the box because of their reputation for buggy releases. If you're looking for a game that oozes atmosphere, look no further. This game is amazing in that regard. Right up there with the old Thief games. It's also worth noting that, aside from the bugs, the game is far, FAR above par in every area when compared to the first one. It definitely feels like the game they intended to make the first time around, and that's saying something I think. I unfortunately hit a show-stopper bug last night in the Dark Valley, where basically the primary quest to capture the three antennae wouldn't trigger I am pretty certain that particular quest is not in the main line of things. You should be able to move on from there without it, unless you're just trying to clear every quest you come across. Fallout 3, anyone? Ironic when speaking of bug-ridden games. Do you have any memory of the pre-Morrowind Bethesda? ;p
