The game received numerous awards at some of the biggest international trade shows, and received universal acclaim from critics and players. The success of the game has been validated not only by the Game of the Year and Most Atmospheric Shooter awards, but also by maintaining top spots on various sales charts. \n \nIn the former USSR states alone, the game sold over half a million copies in the first two weeks.
