Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 Part 1. Taking it slow and steady. (Casual Campaign Blind)
2Part Synopsis: Act 1 Operation Quarterback. Coastal region of the Philippines. One week ago. A superior commander named Wheeler briefs three men: Diaz, Anderson and Keller over the operation. Russian mercenaries raided a biolab in Serbia and made off with a weaponized disease. A buyer has been identified here and designated as a kill on sight target of opportunity. Diaz and Anderson split from Keller to cut off any reinforcements from interfering.
Diaz takes point, allowing Anderson to fall in line with his leadership. Stealth is key, only utilizing lethal force to clear a way forward. Some mild messups occur, which is entirely expected to be fully honest. Having my right hand stitched up from hand surgery doesn't make this any easier. Taking shelter in a crashed plane proves a bad decision as it crumbles and alerts everyone around. Anderson eventually has to go solo for a sniping position in a bell tower.
Playthrough Information: This has been long overdue, I know. After mistakenly believing purchasing the ''Gold'' version of Sniper Ghost Warrior 2 on Xbox 360, it took awhile to obtain a physical copy at a reasonable cost. So I now have the campaign and DLC together. I am playing the campaign and DLC on Casual difficulty, after having major irritation with the first game on Normal. Stealth genres aren't something I indugle with a lot. Therefore, don't expect anything close to flawless gameplay. This will entirely focus on single-player aspects and no multiplayer. Nor will every collectible or possible achievement be sought out. A webcam and full commentary will be present. Footage taken off of Xbox 360.
About Game: Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 is a tactical shooter video game developed and published by City Interactive for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. It is the third entry in the Sniper: Ghost Warrior series and is the sequel to Sniper: Ghost Warrior.
Gameplay: Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 is a tactical shooter that employs stealth, hand-to-hand assassinations and titular sniping techniques. Gameplay features realistic bullet physics that factors distance, wind, and bullet drop when sniping targets.
Release: The initial release was scheduled in August 2012 but Eurogamer revealed the game was pushed back to October, which was then pushed back again to January 2013 on 26 July 2012. The date was further pushed back to 12 March 2013.
Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 was released in both the normal retail version and a limited "Bulletproof Steelbook Edition" that includes the soundtrack, a booklet of the history of sniping and extra downloadable content.
Downloadable Content: Siberian Strike.The events in this downloadable content (DLC) serve as a prequel to the events in original game. The player once again assumes the role of Cole Anderson who has been inserted deep behind enemy lines in Siberia, to locate, secure any information, and if possible, extract a CIA mole who was planted to work in a top secret Russian research base in a potential development of a bio/chemical WMD. Because of the volatile nature of the assignment and due to the fact that it is a black operation, the player has no tactical support available, so all his decisions are solely at his own discretion.
Reception: Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 received "mixed or average" reviews, according to review aggregator Metacritic.
Gameplanet's reviewer writes that the game is not as linear as other modern (i.e. in the game's time) shooters, and calls it "easily its greatest strength".
GameSpot praises script, acting, graphics and sound: "A well-written, well-acted script give the game a great action-movie vibe, as do authentic-looking visuals and animations powered by the CryEngine 3. Excellent sound effects do a wonderful job of pulling you in. Weapon noises, the shouts of enemy voices, the far-off rattle of weapon fire in war-torn Sarajevo, and various atmospheric sounds like the background hum of the Philippine jungle are all handled extremely well and enhance the tension as you line up each careful shot."
