   When i first saw title i thought, "gad! another crapy shooter for kids." As i played it, I stood corrected and surprised.

   Play it on authentic that disables most of hud and no saving through whole mission, no regeneration, only bandages and meds. It gets real then, and u rly pay attention to what u do. And those xray kills are always a eye candy for me :)
   Easier difficulties are a joke for kids. Overexcesive hud, enemy tags and simplified balistics kills this game.… Expand

Both graphics and gameplay are much better, having more options to get around and losing the linear maps. Also, the campaign is intense but the number of missions is on the low side. For the $50 they ask, it should have at least a couple more missions included in vanilla version (not DLCs)
   
   The AI is mediocre at best, very predictable and easy to deal with once you understand how it works.
   
   MP is fun but I wish there was a way to see the server settings in full detail before you enter it (maybe it's just me but I didn't find a way to do it)
   Overall, if you get a discount on the game, it's a solid decision, but I wouldnt pay full price for it.… Expand

As expected the X-Ray cam loses some of it's charm over time, but the timing is well chosen so it doesn't get drawn out unless one has to play the same passages over and over again.
   Speaking of the passages. I played the game solely on the authentic mode, because I tend to like a challenge, which is just nonexistent if one can save at any point in time. It took me a few tries to identify the games mechanics, especially when it comes to stealth. But in the end I liked it quite a lot. It is good when just by playing you start to understand how the rules of the game work and can immediately start to apply them and get feedback for your decisions.
   The AI is not very clever, predictable really, but I call that a plus for this kind of game. The view range in daylight is already quite a hassle if you try to go Ghost (never be seen at all). Especially in a game where you are supposed to be the lone incredibly skilled super soldier I want a certain predictability in order to plan out how to clear out an area and that satisfying feeling to have a plan work in the very end.
   Graphic is fine, the gory part (x-ray cam) has a lot of effort put into it, although I mostly only get to see the inside of the head, guess that is based on play style.
   Most enjoyable of all was the ability to play coop with one friend. Synchronized shots during noise to take out two people before either can react to the other's death, multi angle scouting of an area. Using one player as bait and having the other in a snipers nest pick of the baited enemies. If I was to judge just my coop experience so far I would give it a 9 out of 10 for the pure joy of it.
   Major flaw for me is the wobbly responsiveness in using items and aiming them, especially when it comes to placing stuff on the ground.
   My final rating is based on my enjoyment of the game so far, which would encompass fifteen hours of play, half of it being in coop.… Expand

   It's fun for a few hours and then feels very repetitive and not much variation on objectives.
   It's a gimicky kind of game.

   I don't feel like a sniper as most of the time is just sneaking around to stealth kill with a knife as you don't have a silencer on your sniper rifle and can't always use it if you don't want to be heard.
   It's alright if all you want to do is kill people and not care about a story or any depth.
   
   This isn't my kind of game and just feel sick of playing it, not going to bore myself to death by forcing myself to keep playing to complete it, I'd rather spend my time playing something that is actually fun.… Expand

The setting still feels so unexploited as if an entire arc was cut from the game to keep the attention away to mister sniper and his very uninteresting personality that doesn't seem to know whether to stick to the "grizzled veteran" archetype or not. Beyond that 2 major nuisances kept popping up. One is whether or not the Germans keep talking German. When the antagonist is taunting i can understand the English. but in a "Eavesdrop" cut-scene the Germans talk English again despite never talking English later or during combat. Make up your mind! The last nuisance where the "Mini-boss" battles where a tank suddenly arrives in the map and you MUST destroy it, which can be annoying and a pace-breaker. after the second it stopped being fun/sudden. In overall the game had plenty of room to move, but didn't. resulting in a bit of a dissapointment....Oh yeah and there is the kill-cam that gets boring fast and so forth.… Expand
