Experience Faction Pack DLC (Metro: Last Light)
Developer's blog of downloadable content #1The General idea
Welcome to the blog of the developer of downloadable content for Metro: Last Light!
In this series we're going to talk about the upcoming sets of downloadable content for Metro: Last Light and will open to you the secrets of the development process.
1. Set groups
When we began to think about downloadable content for Metro: Last Light, I made some rules.
Firstly (and most importantly), don't cut anything intended for the game to be included in the content.
And secondly, the content should not change the ending or even any way affect the main game plot.
We wanted the DLC was perceived as a separate structure. If you have played Metro: Last Light and it passed, you have truly completed the game. You don't need to buy any alternative endings no prologue to get the full enjoyment from the game. The story of Artyom in Metro: Last Light is self-contained and fully revealed in the game itself.
On the contrary, we wanted to explore the process the Metro and to embody the content of the new principles and improvements of Metro: Last Light that are not included in the main campaign.
First up is the faction pack. It includes three original single player missions, each you play as a new character. But, in fact, each character is a specialist, working on one of the three major factions...
Creating a storyline Artyom in Metro: Last Light, we tried to make it so that the player always appreciate the consequences of their actions. You decide who your character will be a deadly cold-blooded killer or a humane person, capable of compassion. (And made by you in the course of the game decisions determine what ending is waiting for you.)
The faction pack is your motivation more clear. This means that we gave the player the freedom to do what I want and not worry about the consequences!
In Mission 1 you play for a sniper of a special unit of the red line. Your task is to penetrate the Outpost of the Reich. This is a huge complex structure, where it is necessary to get around. Actually, we wanted to include a sniper sequence in the Subway, but it seemed like a far-fetched and not entirely consistent with the campaign Artem. But now you play as one of the most formidable snipers in the Red, and it all makes sense J
We give you a new silenced weapons, including the deadly rapid-fire sniper rifle. Fans of Metro 2033, the environment will seem familiar – we took an abandoned Outpost of the Reich, guarding the entrance to Black station, and improved it. Added a new dynamic weather effects and lighting, which we introduced in core 4A Engine for Last Light.
In Mission 2 you become heavy infantryman Reich walking tank, protected by strong armour and are equipped with almost the most powerful weapons in the Subway, including a makeshift heavy machine gun and etticiency Rail. This is a truly unique weapon that uses ammunition to Tihar, driving them to the deadly speed of electromagnetic waves.
Again, in Metro: Last Light we didn't want to put Artem in such conditions, in which the player will need to mow countless enemies. And we had to carefully balance the amount of ammunition and resources for the game plot... you Can safely say that Reich trooper these restrictions do not apply! In this mission, we wanted you to be happy to use the most destructive weapons and never regretted using them...
Event Missions take place on the front Line. This dilapidated war underground bridge separating the two armies ' positions. And Yes, it's the same name a level from Metro 2033
Finally, in Mission 3, we are very free to experiment with the basics of Metro gameplay.
You play as a cadet, the future of the Ranger Policy, tasked to explore a ruined library, and find the artifacts. (Yeah, this is the Great library from Metro 2033. Feel the trend?)
You start in a safe zone with a gun, a limited amount of ammunition and equipment. And then you go ahead and explore the vast surface. Just do not forget to check the level of clean air in the filter. Filters can only buy for cash, and the cash you get, only selling found treasures.
Each trip to the surface forcing to keep in mind point of no return: do you have enough time to return to the safe zone? Facilitate the task: as you progress you will be able to light the torches and screw the light bulb to mark the route, like Theseus unwinding his thread on the way to the center of the labyrinth...
We hope you enjoy these three slices of gameplay Metro. I also hope that players of Metro 2033 will see our reinvention of the three favorite fan-made levels.
Our next piece of downloadable content – set the Tower. He did not like the set groups, but we'll discuss this in the next issue of our blog. And yet enjoy the ride, hold on tight.

Charged exactly the same as the pneumatic weapons in both parts. Hold down the reload button, wait for Hans will take on the Dynamo machine and click.
People help , I have a plow mouse in the game but in the menu it is dead, I can choose it nothing and DLS too..
Vetаl
On the compatibility tab, you need to put a checkbox on the parameter, as in the screenshot.
Helped me.
Actually, we wanted to include a sniper sequence in the Subway, but it seemed like a far-fetched and not entirely consistent with the campaign Artem
I do not agree, such a mission would only graced the already great game and it mentioned a campaign Artem priblizitelno in the second half of the gameplay.
Artyom suddenly no longer Stelzer and Jingo to the mines with a machine gun rushing? Brrr. Sniper-tihushnik was born a boy and GRU's resting)
addition good and in the future will add to the game 20 charger shotgun so it's easier to kill librarians no one knows?
Racerest
Well begun...let's laser Blaster developers ask,what if in the future I will add :-)))? 20 charging the shotgun does not need-God forbid if it will be added. Why all want to go easier?
6 charging at all...good choice,the main thing after the first 6 shots to have time to hide and reload or run and reload!- 2nd clip has already killed the librarian. There are no problems,in fact not with them
how do you think the mission is a spider's lair of the future DLS will be a terrible mission?
In the mission Snipers the voice of the man who tells us ( not a spy, but the hero himself) is very similar to Bourbon from Metro 2033!
ArtemCool
so the game is voiced by the same people that Metro 2033, only other characters.
The mission of the Ranger liked to have found all 30 artifacts (= the First Pack is great, the game has been updated to 1.0.0.9 by the way, the mission for the third Reich began without a problem FPS on ultra, and fixed jambs with stealth in the task Snipers. Before the release of the second DLC be sure to pass the game again in full stealth, will try to kill and rarely anywhere to hide, hear as should all the dialogues in the game (=
DLC is just super.I liked all the missions,but let's order...
First:Each mission is made under one of the types of players.
Mission Snipers was made for fans of stealth.
The mission of Heavy is made for those who love a protracted firefight.
Mission Starii made just under those players who asked nonlinearity in the game.
Mission Snipers - me as a lover of Stealth liked it very much.Of course everything turned out immediately,but went and was satisfied.Eh... would have Given this rifle somewhere else to walk... And I really wanted to know the subsequent history of these two.Painfully, they pulled me in.
The mission of Heavy is the level from section MEAT!.You are given a machine gun and you get krasnopuzye right and left.Later you are given a rail to shoot the snipers.And later you will be given 3-eastvalley granotomet who shoots by the way,grenades.Yes Yes.It is those bits of pipe Packed with explosives that we rush alone.And this, combined with an unlimited supply.
Mission Starii Is my favorite mission.Many asked to add nonlinearity.Please - the fully nonlinear level.Here's the shop.Here's a task.Here's the assistants (who for the entire mission will be available only 2 times) and go look for adventure.Collect various things from the surface and bring them to us.I will appreciate and give you ammo for the job.Here's how to describe this level.But not without its drawbacks.If last missions I did not notice them.There is one clear disadvantage,but rather a bug.Iskustvennyi's a high intellect Librarians.Proto sometimes the AI decides to take a break and then the librarian doesn't react at all for anything.Despite the fact that I have a license.
In General.Supplement is very good.That I bought the Season Pass I'm not sorry.I'll wait for Tower Pack.
UPD.
In General in the evening when I wrote it,I forgot what I wanted to say the most.
Is that the Supplement naveivaet a sense of nostalgia.
I am sure that almost 60% of all who played Metro:LL was playing Metro 2033 and I remember well these levels.I remember wandering around the library.How penetrated into the black station as shot rahovtsi and red on the front line...
Liked the mission Starii.When he passed her , he involuntarily recalled the Stalker! :)
