    This has to be the most frustrating game I have ever purchased! It is a great idea, to have a game built on sniping but despite a great idea all the quirks ruin the experience. This thing isn't even suitable to be a Beta. You start off having a great time and then, when you figure this is going to be an enjoyable game, it screws up. Doors that should open don't, your spotter This has to be the most frustrating game I have ever purchased! It is a great idea, to have a game built on sniping but despite a great idea all the quirks ruin the experience. This thing isn't even suitable to be a Beta. You start off having a great time and then, when you figure this is going to be an enjoyable game, it screws up. Doors that should open don't, your spotter commits suicide (talk about crappy AI), and you are blocked from completing your next objective by a scene that refuses to load. Sure you can reload the game to your last saved position and usually get past but, after doing that atleast 5 times in the first few levels it tends to get on your nerves. Cars have recalls, this proves that games should too. Save your money and buy something else.… Expand

    Wow my luck a snipper game and inexpensive to boot.A little more time and efort this could have been a best seller. Someone forgot to add the last half of the game. In short save the money and borrow it from the poor sap like me that lost his money.

    It was a good game and all but some problems and through out the game the spotter sort of becomes like a hostage you have to protect throu-out the game..and the ending of the game was bad...you would expect a lot more..and then it just ends with the credits!

    If I had the choice, I'd shoot my spotter and go on with the game myself. A real sniper a least has the ability to to remain hidden find and kill the enemy. In this game, the enemy are better hidden than the sniper.

    The AI is about the worst I've ever seen. The only games that are worse are Marine Sharpshooter II and, believe it or not, Marine Sharpshooter I.

    Game was not bad for the price, had some problems going on it like dead end with no place to go in the compound.

    Game has been fun so far, however there is some shotty programing done here. I am unable to complete the game because my characters vision is all screwed up. It tries to stay in sniper mode, even with the knife and pistol out. I cannot make out one object and I keep getting killed. This is where my rating dropped through the floor for this game.

If it is though, that will be another major disappointment.… Expand

    This game has more programming errors than any game I have ever played. To sell a with the problems that this one has should be against the law. If they have patches to fix this thing I would like one. The end of mission 5 you come to a blue square when you go through the gate and can go no farther. END OF GAME?????

    Worst game I ever bought. It could have been good, nice idea - atrocious implementation.

    I really wish that I didn't buy this game. I really wasted my money on this. This game is a game with a stupid concept, crappy graphics, and bland gameplay. This is one of the worst games that I have ever played. Don't buy it if you like your money.

    An enjoyable game, but its poor level design, limited array of weapons and numerous glitches keep it from being up there with the best of the genre, and the game seems to lack – in almost all aspects – what other First-Person Shooters have to offer.

    The inclusion of spotter management had tremendous potential to help this game break out from an all too predictable formula. Sadly the poor AI and overall concept of the role simply turns your spotter in to a hostage that you have to protect.

    CTU : Marine Sharpshooter got more enjoyable the more you played and got used to the little issues, but it unfortunately just had way too many quirks to put it up higher on the list.
