    I would imagine those are chemical filtration masks your referring too. I don't think standard fiber dust masks would wear out much, they might get eaten by molds though, but since your just blocking the dust from getting into your lungs, a T-shirt would probably do just fine. In reality you might not need anything on a calm day when there was no wind to pick up dust. It would be cool to see guys with scarfs/t-shirts over there mouths too, the ninja look, or stalker look. They could easily introduce a "military grade" mask that lasted longer, but since in Metro 2033 it was extremely windy out, you could also say they had to protect themselves better for the wind. Its a small thing, but i personally love believable complexity in a living, breathing world as long as its interesting. Regardless, I think its important to free up the ability to explore the surface. I'd love to see a map with a few derelict skyscrapers in it to explore, or a mysterious signal received from another city in a future game.

    The 5 year masks are long-life military grade ones. And a dust respirator lasts like 2 years, but should be replaced after 24 hours of use.

    I use respirators at work and i've never heard that. Carbon respirators which rely on chemical interaction are known to have a short life span once the sealed package it comes in is opened. Dusk masks are just interwoven fibers/materials which catch fine dust, I highly doubt they wear out.
     
  6. Yes, several times. Made walkthroughs out of those.

    You mean Ranger Easy? There's Ranger Easy and Ranger Hardcore, but no Ranger Normal.

    As for me, I exclusively play in Ranger Hardcore nowadays. More realistic damage, more immersion, etc. I'm actually making a walkthrough right now, but Metro 2033 isn't exactly a "hot topic" on YouTube.

    Agreed. It's good that they're including it in Last Light. Too many easy games out there these days...

    Just finished the game with enlightened ending and ranger hardcore. I used the Bastard with Suppressor for a long time, but I can't say I've made a Bastard Playthrough.

    Hell, I just got on summer break. I'll think about recording a knife-only playthrough.

    I'm playing it on Ranger Hardcore right now for the first time. It's not that much harder than before but it may just be that I always played it the way you have to in Ranger Hardcore.

    I completed the game once. I could play it again if I borrow someone's game for PC only, or else. My old laptop won't support Metro's graphic system, tho. =/

    Keen to see if they up the difficulty in Last Light. It would be nice to have that ultimate hard mode which really tests our skills...
