Don't Complain when you get what you asked for !
The game is pretty much that. It focuses on stealth, flanks, shot masking, in-depth missions, being alone in the middle of a hostile area, pretty much what a scout sniper does. Not with all the "Epic battles" being promoted by the media. And that's what made alot think the game is boring or a waste of time. It is not truly, in fact it's one of the few games that showed the true colours of correct marksmanship instead of the traditional " Scopes make shooting easier" method presented my most FPSs on the market today..
to breakdown the game:
*Gameplay:
Can be called a simulation for scout snipers taking in regard all aspects(physical, psychological, timewise,..)
*Storyline
A bit flat and clicheed but it serves the game well
*Controls
Easy, conventional FPS controls, yet well used
*Graphics
Spectacular, the scenery are well designed as a sniping environment mixed with a twist of ancient ruins and guard towers
*Performance
Runs well on most recent PCs ( even to a one and half year old PC)
*Overall
A truly underestimated game, being judged unfairly in something it did not promise to give...
