As the name suggests this game is all about the sniping. Set in Africa during World War 2,  you once again take control of Karl Fairburne the veteran of the series.

     The campaign is pure eye-candy as far as FPS go. The main selling point this game has is its kill cams. Each well aimed bullet takes you into slow motion along its trajectory path: first through the flesh of your enemy, then as it tears through the muscle, shatters the bone and finally as it exits the victim. The one that gets me every time is the testicle shot, theres just something about that distinctive pop that sends a shiver down your spine.

     For all its good looks you might be surprised to hear that the audio doesn't match up, sure the guns sound like guns and the jeeps sound like jeeps but its when your crawling through the bush and a soldier talking 200 meters away sounds like hes close enough to have his pistol against the back of you head! That's a real let down in this day and age.

 

The main campaign is full of long missions that range from easy to damn hard to rage quit hard!!! (obviously I didn't!?! ) These issues are a shame as this game has some serious potential.   At the time of writing this, there have been a couple of multiplayer issues with matchmaking, however rebellion is aware and are working on a permanent fix. I have been lucky enough to have several friends online with this game and had some real good fun in some 4v4 private matches (online is 6v6).

 

There are five maps all fairly large and with great sniping spots, playing with friends also gives you a great tactical advantage when hunting the enemy. Along with campaign you also have co-op. In co-op you and one friend can either tackle campaign together, play overwatch (special ops type missions one spots one snipes) or take on survival in which you can mow down waves of enemies (this mode would have been better with up to four players).   All in all this is a good game released by one of the smaller developers in the genre.
