Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 Part 4. Dereliction of duty. (Casual Campaign Blind)
Part Synopsis: Getting to an open position, targets below on the beach are taken out. Making it to ground level, Anderson goes on foot to the next waypoint. More enemies block the route ahead, although some navigating the environment becomes complicated when reaching a storage yard. Upon making it to an overlook portion of the valley below, Anderson jumps into the water unscathed.
The house nearby is cleared from a distance. He takes a cable car up the mountain then eliminates all the hostiles present. Scoping out the giant section underneath, the bioweapon is being moved. Diaz and Nichols get marched into the open. Anderson requests clearance to intervene on behalf of his allies. It's denied.
After Nichols is executed, he makes the decision on his own to save Diaz. The whole section goes on alert. Anderson provides cover during this hectic situation, allowing the virus to be extracted. The two men join up and make it safely away. The scene shifts to Anderson in prison, reflecting on previous instances. This brings the game to Act 2, where he's working with Maddox on a different mission.
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."
