Got V2 there awhile back for PC and its been on my "to play list" for awhile now. So its good? Ill have to give the campaign a bash

V3 wasnt something i was really looking out for until i saw the MP trailer yesterday,looks good.They seem to be putting more emphasis on the MP side of things this time. Probably more info on it at E3,think theres a presentation on it

What was the MP like in V2?

The MP trailer:

I'm curious about it. Flawed as it was, I loved the first game. Played the demo of the second and was really unimpressed by how linear the whole thing had became. Still did spend a lot of time trying to shoot people in the balls.

I played the second and was enjoying it until suddenly I stopped and never went back. Something must have released around that time. Don't think there was MP.

First few times the bullet goes slo-mo through a nazi were good funs.

I'm going to buy it day 1 since no other good games out and I just got a PS4

EoinHef

Im gonna wait for reviews for this one after playing a good few hours of V2 tonight,definitely flawed but enjoyable non the less.

Have to wait and see if 505 games can improve upon previous iterations. Although a game like this i would always play through the single player the campaigns are usually short and shallow,and imo the MP gives it the longevity. If the MP gets decent reviews ill be looking to buy it but if not im gonna avoid.

These are just my first impressions based on a few hours with previous game,while good there really felt like there was a lot of room for improvement. Hopefully they pull it off and if they do ill be first in line but im gonna take a cautious approach on this one.

I've enjoyed all sniper elites to date. I've pre-ordered this one too. Looks good and the online should be much better this time around.

I liked number 2 but the constant kill cams got annoying after a while
their was only so much it could show before it got repetitive

You can turn them off .

Yes I know but what I meant was I would of preferred a nice balance between the both
would of stopped the repetitiveness without taking away one of the main attractions

DUBLINHITMAN

Im sure theres a hardcore mode that leaves you with your own ability to judge drop and lead . Makes kills more satisfying for me especially when get the kill cam

Sniper Elite 3 Steam Keys Illegally Revoked by Rebellion – Something is Fishy!
As some of our customers have already noticed, Sniper Elite 3 is mysteriously disappearing from Steam accounts without any warning and without a legitimate reason. Yes, you are not dreaming. It is really happening.
Sniper Elite 3 Steam keys are being illegally revoked and de-activated by Rebellion and thus putting hundreds of thousands of innocent gamers and retailers like us in a very awkward position.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused and we reassure you that we are not in any way the reason for the created situation. It was Rebellion who decided to revoke some of the keys. We lost hundreds of keys and just like some of you, we are victims of a scam.
Our suppliers are trustworthy and properly verified, and they just like us are caught in this absurd situation.
As a proof of the fact that our customers are always our priority, we are immediately refunding all Sniper Elite 3 revoked keys. We would like you to bear with us as it will take some time to process all the refunds. Thank you and keep in mind that our products come with 24 months of warranty and we are here 24/7 ready to assist you with any issue.
You are very important to us.

- Update -
Rebellion
“We appreciate that some people are upset, this is exactly why we wanted to make this offer to gamers who’ve been affected through no fault of their own.
To clarify, one of our PC retail distributors informed us that some of their allotted Steam keys were stolen. We believe these keys were then resold to multiple companies, with no payments going to either Valve or the retail distributor.
Steam were immediately informed and have now revoked that set of keys.
As a developer Rebellion are happy for you to purchase the game anywhere you see fit and support price competition in the PC market - we have in no way targeted any specific vendors (who may have also thought these keys were legitimate), just this one set of keys.“

Looks like this has hit some of the larger sites since. Here's Kotaku's piece on it.

The Steam thread has some interesting comments on it too. Just how little were people paying for a key for the game? One poster claimed they are "trying to make me pay nearlly triplle for it on the steam store". I know Steam prices for new games are generally high but paying ~€16 for a ~€50 game at launch, really?

The language used in that G2Play press release is amusing at least, especially after their previous shady antics.

Well I'm enjoying the game, anyway (touch wood! Don't want to get home and find my copy's been revoked! ). It's a huge step up from the second game, but does still suffer from the same AI problems that almost all stealth games have in that you can kill an enemy in front of his mate, his mate will go crazy trying to find you and when they can't find you they'll go about their business as if nothing happened, occasionally stepping over their dead friend as they continue on their patrol route.

But I like the huge levels and the freedom to complete your missions anyway you want. It actually feels really like a Hitman game at times, when you discover a novel way of taking out targets using the environment.

for some reason the person doing the voice acting sounds like the person who done the voice acting for the hitman absolution game

i have this on ps4 and trying to get into a lobby for any of the mp modes is a nightmare. a genuine nightmare. like the ones where you're frozen in your bed and Mary Harney is dancing over you with a strap on and a jar of vaseline in her hand! is anyone else taking 10 or so attempts to get a lobby??

On ps4 as well. I can only get a game if I select 'Any' for game mode.

takes about ten times for this to work though.

Paddy@CIRL

Has this officially been released here then? I checked earlier in XV and they had no mention of it on the shelves or even on the system.

I did get €45 trade for Watchdogs though. Thought I'd have to pay them to take it off me.

UnleashTheBeast

Does anybody know if there are still issues with buying this on G2play?

EoinHef

Now people have had the game for while,worth it?

Was thinking of picking it up on PS4

The gameplay is good, story is non-existant and on ps4 it'd take about 10 minutes plus to get into a game. If you can get it between 40-55 then yes as the current credit trade in xtra vision is 45.50.

muppetkiller

Playing this on the PC and I actually preferred the second one.
The kill animations seem less graphic yet the Anatomy seems better detailed if that makes any sense. The AI is even more Stupid.
The levels are nicely detailed but the Sniping seems more inaccurate too.

Story is pretty nonsensical too Wait till it's a fiver IMO.

MiskyBoyy

Anyone know if Tesco have this and how much it is there? For Xbox ONE.

dreamers75

Down to 24.98 on PC, reckon another week and its under 20.

I picked it up eventually on the Xbox US Marketplace for around €36. I'm enjoying it more than Watchdogs, but would agree that the AI is a little bit simple in it.

MarkY91

dreamers75

20.99 On G2play today.

tony1980

Thoroughly enjoyed the co-op in this, missions are nice and long and very challenging to do on marksman or above!

MiskyBoyy

Do Xtravision or Tesco not have this at all the ****es?

DeadParrot

I wanna get this on Ps4 but think I'll wait a while.

crazydom

Very easy Gamerscore on this one, my friend on XBL is making some great progress with this one!

IhateScalpers

Does anyone else have a problem with this game not counting certain war diaries?
On the Gaberoun mission one of mine don't count so I can't get 100%, so annoying!

Is he on the 360 or ONE, I need a coop buddy for it on 360 for the coop campaign on Authentic difficulty and the challenges.

Game is a buggy mess, especially on consoles. The achievement tracking is totally messed up.

I had to run through the game on cadet difficulty on a new save on USB key to get the collectibles (mainly the weapon upgrades that don't track at all).

There is a patch for consoles due next week, PS3 is already patched.

tony1980

I found that when I done it in co-op with someone else who had already collected the war diaries on a certain map or had other things done, when I done it with him, they didn't work for me as he had them already. That didn't happen all the time but on some maps it did. I done the map on my own and it worked, that might not be the same issue you are having but if they are not working on solo for you, maybe try co-op on that map just to see if that works.

TheFullDuck

got this for free with my gpu

it's just so meh imo

missions seem padded to make it feel longer or something

I got it for free though so I won't judge it too hard, nice to unwind shooting nazis in the groin from afar :pac:
