   do you know the game "Call Of Duty 4"? it is a first person shooter which has a level that features this hotel as a shelter for you, a sniper who has to kill a man that is dealing for weapons just outside the nuclear power plant. actually the hotel and the nuclear power plant are about 3,2 km far, but in the game this distance is only 800 metres. after you kill him you have to get out from the hotel and reach the Ferris wheel where a helicopter will pick you up, passing through some famous places of prypiat such as the swimming pool. they are very close to the real town!
   this is the video:

   I'm aware of the game but didn't know it was set there! My guide told me that they'd had a launch party for Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl in the administration building (in Chernobyl town) not long beforehand.

   yes, i've already played Stalker but i couldn't reach the level set on the town on pripyat, it's too hard. call of duty is more arcade and easier.
   i know that stalker is even closer to the real town than c.o.d. because it is all about chernobyl and the lands around it, c.o.d. is a modern war game that even features other places as the middle east.

   Played Stalker . Just finished it yesterday , so was checking around for pics related .

   The developers have really made it pretty accurate . Pripyat is at a very important section of the game , and I remember this hotel building , specially that semi-circle architecture . I remember there being snipers hiding behind the centre , behind the pillars , behind which lies some grafitti .

   Very interesting a place . I'm too far away to wish that I get to see it for real someday but i can hope right .

   Great photo btw . I'm a bit sad I cant get a larger version , since I like archiving good pics like this of urban/industrial landscapes .

   Cheers .
