You can also target grenades on the enemies with explosive results. The gameplay is similar to Splinter Cell in that you move from Point A to B, observing the environment for enemies and using various strategies and tactics to take them out like shooting an explosive barrel near groups of enemies, setting traps with trip mines to blow up tanks. One has to wonder if Rebellion took design cues from Ubisoft's flagship stealth series, which has yet to see a seventh installment. From the desert sands, rocky caverns, underground bunkers, and enemy bases, Sniper Elite 3 boasts some impressive visuals with splendid attention to detail in the environments with smooth animation and lighting effects which even surpasses that of the Splinter Cell series. The first thing you'll notice about the 3rd game is it's graphics. Sniper Elite 3, a prequel to the 2nd game in the series, is a step up in many ways.
#SNIPER ELITE III ULTIMATE CODE#
A code was supplied by the publisher for review purposes.I've never been big on games that lets you target enemies from afar I prefer up close and personal combat, but having played this for the first time in years a year ago, I was really impressed and enjoyed the game immensely.
#SNIPER ELITE III ULTIMATE PC#
The Co-Optimus review of Sniper Elite 3 is based on the PC version of the game. If you're looking for a shooter that's a little bit slower paced, offers satisfying enemy kills, and interesting co-op play - Sniper Elite 3 will scratch any or all of those itches. All of the content throughout the game is enhanced with collectibles and unlocks to customize your character, further adding to the replayability of the title. The co-op is enhanced with new modes of play that work extremely well, we just wish there was more there to enjoy. Sniper Elite 3 is another solid entry into the series, it refines its own formula with new tools and more open maps for you to play in. It's a pretty standard affair and feels a bit more like the Nazi Zombie games in pacing, especially in the later waves, but it's a nice distraction if you just want to see some slow motion headshots. Sadly, right now there are only two maps for this which take about 45 minutes each to complete, so it's a bit content light.įinally Sniper Elite 3 features a survival co-op mode where you'll take on waves of enemies, trying to garner for a high score. It's so immensely satisfying to tag enemies from the ground, have my partner tell me to go from cover to cover and watch the enemies drop from his sniper fire as I move. The carefully laid out maps and objectives force players to communicate and work together to complete their mission. Co-op players take on two missions that are designed for this setup, stripping one player of his sniper rifle and the other of his automatic weapon. This is exemplified in one of the game's special co-op modes called Overwatch. The downside of course to this is when one player goes down, the other has a long trek to revive him, but in the end the strategy is a sound one. Numerous times while playing our partner and I would fall into natural roles of spotter and sniper, splitting up so we could always cover each other from the high ground. Of course with twice as many snipers it's twice as easy to alert the enemy, so that is something both players need to contend with. From what we saw the game doesn't necessarily change up the enemy patterns or numbers when another player is present, but we didn't find the missions overly easy - just more easily paced. Using the binoculars you can tag enemies that both you and your partner will see this aids in setting up attack routes and covering fire as you progress through the maps. The entire campaign can be played in co-op, with both friends taking the role of a sniper. While the single player campaign is fun enough, it's when you bring a friend into the foray that the strategy of the game takes a whole new turn. You'll rescue prisoners and cover their escape, and blow up convoys filled with enemy soldiers, and blow up plenty of artillery guns. While some have you hanging back and eliminating enemies one by one, others have you sneaking into areas and finding the best position available to do the same. Through the campaign, Sniper Elite 3 does a good job of mixing up the pacing of the missions.
