   This is a great game. Or more, it was a superb game back then. The graphics are mediocre and the story basic... very basic. the rest of the game is pure fun and can become one of your best game experience. As it was for me. for this game i can say that it pased the test of time.… Expand

   I had very high hopes for this game, but was somewhat disappointed in many ways. The ballistic modeling is terrible...I have been a long range target shooter for many years and was extremely disappointed with this aspect of the game. The idea of having to aim high on a target 100 meters away is ludicrous. Generally speaking a rifle is sighted in at a minimum of 100 yards, and the ballistics of most rifle cartridges is such that gravity has very little effect at the ranges presented in most of the game. It appears in the game that the rifle is zeroed at the muzzle and any target beyond that range requires ridiculous elevation compensation. The other huge mistake made in regards to bullet performance is the damage inflicted. So far I have only been able to get a kill with a single bullet if a head shot was made. Rifles of the caliber used for this kind of shooting very reliably produce kills with a single shot to center mass of the chest cavity, and it is uncommon for someone to sustain a chest hit and remain on their feet, let alone, still shooting back while limping towards cover. The information is readily available to easily correct these shortcomings with a modest amount of research...COME ON GUYS!!! My other major complaint with the game is the inability to enter buildings and structures. This is supposed to be a somewhat realistic game, yet you would never see a sniper out in the open the way this game requires of you. The advantage of a sniper is in use of cover and concealment to hide his position while employing the ballistic advantage of his weapon to engage enemies with little risk of detection. It seems that all they have done here is dump the sniper into the role of a common foot soldier. Even with these flaws, I found the game challenging and enjoyable, but have to give it a low rating due to the unrealistic mapping and mission requirements of the game.… Expand

   Anyone looking for a sniping simulator, or even a game with good sniping at all, is well advised to stay away. I'll spare you the rant and give you some highlights. The bullet drop is hilariously bad. I've fired BB guns with better accuracy. The game focuses on stealth, and yet only the pistol is silenced, and the gunshot from your rifle can be heard from the entire country of Germany. Enemies clairvoyantly know where you are and will run directly to your position, even if you're moving silently, and even if they've never seen you. Soldiers can usually take a bullet to the chest and keep moving. They are precision-accurate with wartime machine guns (remember, guns that were built to be cheap and fire bullets, but not for much else.) Most enemies are quicker draws than the Sundance Kid and more accurate than John McClain. At one point, I got frustrated and simply rushed through a mission with a machine gun, sniping nobody. I completed all objectives easily, and spent much less time doing it. Terrible game. Avoid this one.… Expand
