I agree with Zod777 and the review. There are a lot of good things and a few annoying things. I was a huge fan of the first version even though the graphics were pretty poor, but the gameplay and first gratifying sniper game were very satisfying. I still have the game and break it out from time-to-time. My biggest complaints are a little different from ZOD and the reviewer, however. First, the original game had more open worlds, allowing you freedom of movement with complex objectives. This version feels more like a walled garden. Second, no matter which level, soldiers can see you at great distances and in cover. This is frustrating. Third, the single player campaign was shorter than 10-hours for me and I was hoping for a longer, richer experience. Fourth, if you're sniping without the ability to muffle shots through explosions, you're pinpointed immediately and then the waves of pawns begin towards your position. In real sniping, determining ballistic direction is often confusing and not known until multiple shots are taken. I would've hoped to fire a round, move my position, fire another round and keep my enemy guessing - real world tactics don't apply here. Finally, the pop-up of snipers and their accuracy can be very annoying, but this was similar to the first version, so I digress. I'm hoping the dev team listens to the criticisms herein and updates/patches. But since my big complaint is the lack of a more open world with differing pathways, I doubt this will be fixed. Finally, I've not played the co-op missions and have played co-op on other games and it gets creepy playing with strangers, but I really want to try this out. I think single player unique modes, similar to some of COD's past incarnations (waves, zombies, etc.) extended gameplay. I'd still recommend purchasing this game and would rate it around a 7 to 7.5, but with corrections to the above criticisms, this could've been gold. (PS They did a great job on graphics and the kill cams and this is what truly makes the game like crystal meth. Additionally, killing Hitler level makes me cry tears of joy from the sheer fun factor.)
