After reading the reviews I discovered something UN-FREAKING FORGIVABLE IN A SNIPER SIMULATION.....


SPAWNING ENEMIES.....??????? .... And the usual 'eagle eyed enemies' that always ruin that stealthy approach you invested alot of time in.



If this be the case, once again, Rebellion, you seem so close to actually pulling off a half decent game and then ....


'Enemy line of sight is wildly inconsistent. Too many attempts to be stealthy were shattered by eagle-eyed enemy soldiers you’d think have binoculars glued to their faces. My heart broke when I realized all the time I spent scanning empty windows for enemy snipers was a waste – the game seems to mainly spawn in enemy marksmen after you’re discovered. These missteps don’t ruin the game, but they’re enough to offset the hardcore sniping simulation.

In the challenging bombing run mode players must scavenge tank parts around the map in order to repair their ride home, which requires attentive teamwork and constant alertness. This mode would be flawless if not for the handful of enemies automatically spawned when you begin collecting parts. Like the magically appearing snipers mentioned earlier, forced encounters like this contradict the game’s core concept – be wholly aware of the battlefield. '

Are we making a freakin Arcade game or wot?


I truly hope Rebellion invests just a little time, and actually invests in their product after launch to fix some of these issues, because it would be ashame to ruin such a promising game.

I hit a guy in the head four times, saw the blood splatter each hit. Finally went down the fifth shot.

Enemies impervious to grenade explosions.

Enemies taking hits from Tommy and acting as if they are wearing armor. I even shot'em in the arm(s), and they raised their weapon to shoot.

If you are visible for a femto second, they can hit with you with instantly locked accurate aim with a short range weapon at a million yards.

Enemies you glimpse around the corner, then suddenly disappear with no footfalls. Where'd they go? And several other flaws.

Just another shooter game that could have been great, SHOULD have been great.

Ive always thought game "flaws" actually make it more realistic, in a sniper game even more so. Snipers adapt to the battlefield they are restricted in most real life scenarios, its the reason snipers survive. Learn your terrain and enemy routes. I dont see how random spawns is more realistic either.. Youre in the midst of war whos to say teams arent in the same building at the ready to shoot out the same window? I have no complaints.. It seems thats all people do anymore.. How can you play the demo and buy the game with different expectations? Its all running together..

Also, here's a great example of why this is a problem.

Well I had no idea people were seeing enemy ais vanish clearly should be patched I havent seen any of these problems in playing all coop and single player tasks, but I guess people play differently.. Just less bash and more informative and it has my backing.. Games always have bugs but that glitch looks strictly visual and doesnt seem to deserve the title of 'fail'.

the only major concern i have with the game is that sometimes, not all the time but sometimes as mentioned above, i go stealth, nobody sees me then after 1 or 2 shots and retreating to the dark they know instantly where i am, which does suck a little bit.

Althout i love the game, playing it to death and not bored at all, superb game but again Devs... If you are reading this comment its not a dig at you or the game, i think the game is utterly fantastic and any dlc i will get but if you can somehow patch the game to address the crazy hawk eye they sometimes have that would be great as it does sometimes affect the fun factor of being a stealth sniper.

Thanks!

Great game though!
