Oh, I'm sorry if I didn't find the right words to correctly explain what I've meant, probably that's my own fault.
So, I'll describe the idea more specifically.
Under "in-game occasional stupidities" i meant such nuances described by Kazak, like having a separate slot for binocs - but without possibility to buy/change the default binocs for better ones; or - like that default binocs spoils the enemies "surprises" hiding in the bushes, etc. I really think that gameplay testers like STALKER so much, that they will play it real hard, and will find all such "occasional stupidities", to be fixed before the release.
Concerning the weaponry and other ammunition - sorry if I've explained my idea in some incorrect manner. I didn't mean, that I dislike THE VARIETY, - I meant, that I don't like the variety of things, UNNATURAL to the zone. I'm speaking about all these LR-300, exotic FN2000, Desert eagle, Franchi (SPAS12) and etc, and etc. For me, all these exotic weapons are as much unnatural to the zone, as stingers, javelins,flashbang grenades, M4 assault rifles, barrett sniper rifle, and NATO outfits =)
I would be happy to see a variety of more common Russian and Soviet weapons, instead of the Alliance (NATO) one.
What I'm talking about - TT (soviet pistol), Stechkin (famous Soviet pistol), modern AK series (AK-102, AK-105, secret AK-200, etc), RPK (old Soviet machine gun), Saiga (famous Russian series of hunting guns of 12mm shotgun caliber), old hunting guns - TOZ, BMZ, etc, Tiger (Russian sniper rifle for hunting, looking like SVD), Plastid (explosive), and etc!!!
Also - there could be a great variety of "personal" weapons and outfits! Like - "personal AK-105 of Leut. Kovalenko" - weapon made by special order, which is impossible for tuning, but already has unique and good specifications (not my idea - I've seen it in Sigerous Mod for ClearSky). And - the same could be with outfits, pistols, etc.
In general - my idea was to stop treating the zone like an exotic weaponry warehouse (with FN2000, and other CoD stuff), but to add a variety and make it unique by replacing all this "Call of Duty stuff" - with Soviet / Hunting / Unique (personal) weapons and ammunition.
Also, I would have probably added an opportunity to order/buy an electro-shocker - for missions, supposing stealth action without kills, like stealing something quiet without shooting, and making any total rush.
Sorry for such a big post, but that's what I think and feel (in widespread version).
Actually, it doesn't matter anyway, because everything has been configured long ago, and all ideas are already no more taken into account by the developers team (if I remember it correctly).
