S.T.A.L.K.E.R : Shadows over Chernobyl Wallpapers
I’m a huge fan of game characters with gas masks, especially the Russian gas masks with the characteristic snout-like tubing. The exterior appearance of these gas masks provides a sinister alien look to the wearer (and probably also a sense of gloom and claustrophobia at the same due to the limited visibility from behind a gas mask :p
Anyway, here’s the official wallpapers for the recently released FPS Stalker : The Shadow of Chernobyl below. Two high-resolution (800×600 to 1600×1200) wallpapers of gas mask-wearing characters

A trio of (Freedom?) stalkers hot on the trail of a single Dolg stalker armed with the AK-74M.
For Russian miltary enthusiasts, check out the four renders of Russian firearms - the Kora-919 (Colt 1911 in real-life), Thunder S14 (OC-14 Groza in real-life), Obokan (AN-94 Akaban in real-life) and AKM 74/2 (AK-74M in real-life). High resolution 3D renders of Russian firearms are pretty rare on the .NET so download them at the Art section if you’re interested.

I’ve also sifted through the 158 fan-submitted wallpapers and chosen my favourite five below.

SOrry mate, thats not a GP-5 in the first picture.Its a GP-2.I got both so i know the differances.Good Job for the weapons names.
Hi TheFasm4, you’re a gas mask collector? I thought the GP-2 only had a simple air filter?
Indeed nice pictures of masks, but don’t forget that in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. we are in 2012.Probably older versions of masks have been innovated, with added tubes and filters that could protect from the new fallout.
No, I am no collector.Just a researcher of military equipment.
You can find lots of up-to-date gas masks here: http://www.approvedgasmasks.com/mask-gas.htm
The prices are high, but their equipment works.
Good Job, once more.
Researcher of military equipment? You can count me as one too - an amateur enthusiast that is.
That is good, we all started there.
So your maina focus is on gas masks? Mine is mainly armoured vehicles and military history
Nah, i prefer things that explode.C4, Semtex, Dynamite, Phosphorus etc or good ol’ fationed artillery (105 etc) and mortars.
Ofcourse im interested in everything.A nice all chrome Colt 1911 45. will never go old ye?
Btw how old are you?And where are you from?
Ah I see - pyrotechnics eh? Me, 28 years old from sunny Singapore (at the tip of the Malaysian Peninsula)
Hahaha Singapore yah?Nice.
Im 17 from the equally sunny, Greece.I know im kinda young for a researcher but i ve done my homework and i keep doing it everyday.
If you need any help tracking anything, ask for it.If i cant find it, it aint there.;)
Sure, I’ll keep that in mind
Let me know too if you need to find anything, I love hunting for obscure and not-so-obscure stuff on the net, that’s why I started this site
