Many of the levels in Sniper Elite III are based off and named after real places in Northern Africa, places that were of some significance to the Africa Campaign. Tobruk, Halfaya Pass, Siwa Oasis, Kasserine Pass. I was a little bit impressed by this. In Sniper Elite 4, every location is fictitious. "The Isle of San Cellini, the village of Bitanti." It didn't necessarily hurt the game, but it was something I noticed.
I agree with you you're right, And yeah sniper elite 5 trailer came at lastt, You can I already seen the trailer that SE5 is having king Tiger tank now that's wholesome
Totally agree with your comments. Another little niggle I have is that it was much faster to search dead enemies for ammo etc in SE3. Seems to take ages in SE4 especially when you have just taken out an entire group.
I agree with everything, especially the glint and the weapons parts being collectables. In Italy there were Panthers in action against the Allies for the first time, and there were also a few Tigers in Sicily. In France we would have all types of German tanks, and there could also be StuGs, since those were the most numerous AFVs of the Wehrmacht. Also, armoured crews should have different uniforms than the infantry. Panzer and other motorized units had adapted uniforms, like the black panzer uniform and the shorter panzer jacket.
@@Jack_Broome That's not how historical accuracy works. It only gives a general idea of the situation, so the historical fiction can work; it's not meant to harmstring the story.
For me the biggest one was the upgrade system. Not only were the upgrades getting ridiculously grindy but also there was never a drawback to any of them. It was always just a blanket improvement. As you pointed out the SE3 upgrade system always gave you a compromise. You can improve A but B will get worse which I think is much better. Obviously we do now know that the upgrade system in SE5 seems to be an even improved version of the SE3 mechanics.
It’s cause you can actually add like a hardened bolt or lightened bolt. Sniper elite 4 it’s literally just get this amount of a special type of kill and your recoil is upgraded?? Like wtf? Just magically upgraded
I'd like to see the enemies retain damage after death in SE5! Its really immersion breaking when you put a huge hole in a soldier's head, only to see them lay there perfectly intact!
Gosh...I have played 3 but I never knew about seeking for parts for upgrades. BUT I'm soo much into 4 (and looking forward to 5) that I'm not going back to 3 to test it out again. Thanks for the info though.
I always love it when they add good armoured vehicle variety and at least have Karl encounter 1 or 2 of one in the Sniper Elite series. Missed opportunity in SE4
I like your opinion on the sniper glint and how the snipers in SE 3 were more of a challenge. But if they stay focused on you like in the last game it's harder to get a new position while maintaining your ghost profile.
The main thing I'd like to see with Sniper Elite 5 is a release date. Back in January 2020, Rebellion PR department Tweeted that we'd see videos on SE 5 in early summer.
A feature seldom addressed, and never rewarded, is the scope-shot! Putting a round right through his lens and into his eye, gives a massive amount of satisfaction and yet, that's all you're gonna get for that piece of sniper mastery!
In sniper elite 3 the enemy vehicle (tank & halftrack) feels more harder to combat rather than enemy vehicle in sniper elite 4 that's why I love sniper elite 3 and also I miss sniper nest in sniper elite 3
One other thing Sniper Elite III did better was the inclusion of the anti-tank rocket launchers as a weapon that can be equipped in the main menu. Plus, the Panzerschreck was a much better weapon than the Panzerfaust in the anti-tank role imo, having zero range drop when its rockets are fired.
The upgrade system really bothered me in Sniper Elite 3. And not because of the mechanics, which actually may have been better, but I didn't like the fact, that for example, the stock influenced the magnification, and the colour of the scope changed stability. That's why I prefer the upgrade system in Sniper Elite 4
5 looks way more casual friendly and thats how games are going to be, 60 bucks for handholding more and more since gamers now have such a small attention span to what is happening around them, tho 5 looks great and i will get it but im thinking of hardest difficulty asap since it will probably be an easy game
I'm not gonna lie, I actually didn't like the suppressors in SE4. They were rare if not nearly non-existent in wwii, and even then, they're not completely silent. I felt like it took from the difficulty of the game.
They removed and fucked up a lot in 5 but also added a lot. Will we get a vid talking about some of the questionable decisions and what u think is an improvement and what isn’t?
100% agree. I will never forget the mission where you exit from the temple and are ambushed by snipers. Tension raised to the max trying to find them between the rocks looking for the little moment when you see the sun reflected in their scopes while searching for cover. Spotting snipers in SE4 was easier.
I totally agree, Sniper Elite 3 out the Elite series so far is my favorite also enjoy multiplayer maps on Sniper Elite 3 instead Sniper Elite 4 great video keep up good work .
Great vid. I hadn't noticed many of those things before. Also majorly agree about not being able to keep weapon upgrades on authentic. It's frustrating! Love the channel mate, great content!
Only played 4, I have to give it to you on Sniper Scope glint and upgrades. Those sound really cool. All I want is the binoculars to have a setting where you can get range finding and variable zoom but not marked targets or seeing marked targets through walls. For some reason the binoclars difficulty settings are stuck between giving a casual player too much power and not enough power. No in-between. Difficulty options are the real magic Sniper Elite has so lets go nuts with tons of layers for them.
I think that SE4 is much better than SE3. Mechanics of SE4 are much better. I agree with your opinion too. There are many things that SE5 should improve. One thing that bothers me mostly is spinning of many multiplayer players. It's totally unrealistic. I don't believe that some sniper will spin on some roof top so that everyone can see him so that he can shoot everyone that aims at him. I could write a book about nonsense that's happening in multiplayer games. I really hope that SE5 will get rid of those mistakes.
Like & subscribed . Agree with every single point you mentioned. Haven't played these games in ages,but seeing this made me wanna go re-install it )) cheers mate & good hunting!
2:59 it even has A line connect to you on Zombie Army 4 , original it has some metallic sound , but for some reason the sound is gone after Season 3 update
Hardened bullets in SE3 would be nice. More penetration would be cool when you are shooting extreme distances. Now you just ruin the helmet if you miss the face.
My thing I hope the bring in se5 if diffrent ammo based on guns cause not all sniper take the same ammo same with the side arms it would make you think on what to take on certain missions and make op weapons limited use on missions forcing you to use the environment or use weapons form enemies, and the ability to carry what you gad over form missions if the are back to back missions were you magical gain you own sniper you shaped or side arm back with the Sam e ammo
I agree on all points ... as a "veteran" of sniper elite (1-4 / 100%) and lover of "realism" and "hardcore/authentic plus" ... that makes me a horrible PvP Player, because i am too cautious and slow.. so most time i was not killed but got no kill as well ;D
Bro i love your content but i hope to see you expanding a bit and give your perfectionist gameplay on other sniping games like Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts ...etc
I prefer the challengees for up greads as i have completed sniper elite 3 a lot of times yet i have never unlock a upgrade for my rifles but i have masted lods of rifles and secondary and pistols in sniper elite 4 in only a handful of time going thow the campaign. Apart from that i agree with the rest of you points
Agree on the aesthetic points: engine kill cams, more tank variety, enemy disembarking from wounded vehicles... SE4 sniper glint is a bit silly also and could be better reverted!😀 I wasn't a fan of SE3 upgrade system though, I found it messy and unsatisfying... although it may have been the lack of scope zeroing (the most impt. improvement to SE4 imo) that made it difficult to appreciate the effect of the upgrades in SE3. Regarding your complaint about not benefitting from the upgrades if you play on Authentic... I'm pretty sure I've always played SE4 on Custom settings... there you can max out any / all of the difficulty settings as you like, but still get the benefits of upgrades.
@@BrutalBarracuda Yeah, I've played them all since SE1 :) I dunno, I find that zero'ing encourages more strategic thinking. Regarding Authentic Plus, I like the breathe out feature + the scope/binocular zooms too much to give them up... also the sound indicator. I'm not a masochist! ;) But I have no use for minimaps, or for the x-ray style tagging... plus I want max enemy toughness. Hence Custom Settings works for me. D'you play with 'throw away clip' turned on!?
I played Sniper 2 years ago and a few months ago, got into Sniper 4. I loved it! I bought a copy of Sniper 3 and I've been banging away at this one for a few weeks. It's a very fun game, but I've found that you can get overwhelmed by enemies a lot easier than Sniper 4. I haven't played Sniper 5 yet, but I'm looking forward to it. I would like to see a Sniper game set in the Pacific theater though; instead of hunting Germans and Italians, I wouldn't mind getting at some of the Japanese. I would like to see a Philipine freedom fighter doing some island hopping and jungle hunting to take out entrenched platoons. I also wouldn't mind some DLC involving Korean and Chinese scenarios centering around the Japanese internment camps and medical experiment labs. I think this would be a great addition to the franchise.
I agree with everything in this video but the one thing that irks me more than anything is sniper glint and this isn't just for sniper elite 4 but it goes with a majority of multiplayer games or first person shooters or even third person shooters that have sniper rifles they all now have glints now if I'm a multiplayer standpoint I can understand someone who has their eye on you you can see them from a distance but that kind of takes the fun away from it in my opinion what's the point of having a sniper when you have a giant flashlight mounted on any weapon you use whether it be a scope or ACOG
I have to agree. Even though I have SE4, I haven't yet played it due to some personal problems, such as my arthritis getting worse and my GF dying roughly at the time, and I want to play it, but I end up not. While I haven't played SE4, your descriptions are easily understood and I prefer the way SE3 handles them. As for why they didn't add these features into SE4, I'm going to hazard a guess that since SE4 was more open-world, I'm guessing they chose differently with SE4 in order to save time, but that's just a guess. BTW, I hate the idea of upgrade system in SE4. They did this with the Zombie Army 4, where you have to do certain things to upgrade weapons, but some of the upgrades make zero sense. In Zombie Army Trilogy, I had triple zoom or 2x Zoom right from the beginning, whereas in ZAT4, I have to upgrade the scope zoom beyond 1x zoom. WTF?!
Sorry to hear that, you should deffo give SE4 a bash tho, great game. But i know what you mean about arthritis, my dad suffers the same and struggles to play certain games.
@@BrutalBarracuda ...Thank You for the encouragement. I will definitely play it, I just cant say exactly when. And I will definitely be buying Sniper Elite 5 day-1. Rebellion Studios is one of the few Developers that I trust and always try to support by buying their games day-1 & at full price. :)
Shawn M I too have Arthritis (Osteoarthritis in my hip from bricklaying + Disc Degenerative Disease) but after much suffering (lack of knowledge) I now see it as positive pain, because it drives me outta the house into the real world, where I do more fitness and light weights to stay in shape and healthy enough to justify my own existence... One day a few years ago, I simply had enough and stopped all the prescription medicines I was on for many years and began looking at alternative self treatments: It saved my life.... ANYHOO....
I think another thing Rebellion does better is in Zombie Army 4. If the corpses have useful items on them, you can see whether it's health or ammunition from the symbol that floats over the body. In SE4 all you get is the hand symbol and, either have to search the body to find out what's on it or use your binoculars to scan them. It would save time if you were looking for a health pack if SE4 used similar symbols to that of ZA4. You could even have separate symbols for health, ammo and explosives. It would be a great help. I hope that Rebellion read the comments on your UA-cam channel - they should do, it has better SE4 content than their own channel!!
The reason we see different tanks in sniper elite 3 for what i assume is for historical accuracy but we see only a hand full of tanks since most of the panzer division was fighting the allies in sniper elite 4 alot of the tanks during the battle of italy were panzers mainly panzer 3 and afew panzer 4 plus during 1944 allied bombings crippled production so most of the tanks Germany had were panzer 3 and 4
I can’t tell you how bloody awful it was searching for the enemy you killed that had the upgrade part, because shit hit the fan and your enemies died in different places than the collectible guide! I prefer 4’s weapon upgrade. It just seemed more fun to play, similar to strange brigade.
I agree with your opinion but also in sniper elite III the killcams of soldiers were better made in my opinion because for example after shooting on the eyes the certain part of face went missing but in sniper elite 4 only the eye would be broken
Weapon customization looks awesome in SE5. I think SE4's is kinda grindy and the authentic difficulty making the upgrades moot is argument enough that 3 and potentially 5's will be better
with number five i think a dual system would be best if you do the challenges for the gold mastery skin it shows effort so i think slight bonuses to the base weapon would be nice but then mods also from game to game you could find
i disagree on the scope glint. to me personally the snipers in se3 were very annoying just because of that tbh. yes you can spot snipers much faster in se4, but they also spot you faster. imo it's more fun like it is now. but how about for an option to switch between standard glint and realisic glint? completely optional like the throw away clip/magazine option in se4. would make everyone happy 🙂
Interesting you prefer the SE4 scope glint, personally i much prefer the SE3 version. If anything i'd say keep the SE4 version for easy-hard then use the SE3 version for Authentic/A+
You could spot snipers just fine in SE3, while 4's is just too much. It'd be fine if Rebellion could make a dynamic light system or just have it be distance based. I actually want the player's scope to give off a glint too so enemy soldiers will know where to look lol
@@BrutalBarracuda I think a solution would be to tie this to difficulty level. Leave it as is on Cadet but gradually reduce until on Authentic plus you only really get something if a light is reflecting of it.
I am a little late to this video and your channel, but here's to hoping they bring back Flint and Steel. I know the Timed TNT kinda takes that place, but I like Flint and Steel by Dang-it!
It would not surprised me if little features and systems that were done better in three were simplified and sort of dumb down and expanded in some ways for a more mainstream audience to be more easily introduced into the game
I’m more of a zombie army player but I got SE4 on game pass and I’m now obsessed with it. I’m playing the DLCs and your video is making me want to play 3 haha. Great content, you got a sub.
Problem I had with 3 was change paint job changes stats also your argument on 4 play custom then set everything onto authentic so don't complain what we need is improvements that 4 has with the good things from 3 then perfection
As a misophonia sufferer who had to have the ABSURD breathing effects in 3 modded out by a russian modder I can say in a vanilla constest 4 wins hands down.
1st Id like to know if theres a survival mode in SE5 dye happen to know BB? secondly if YOU want to go through the whole game on hard thats your choice but I hope they dont make it so you have to rob a particular npc just to get all the weapon upgrades it was bad that way IMO - still wouldnt be the end of the world
I disagree with the weapon customisation system in sniper elite 3, I think the system is better in sniper elite 4, because its more simple, I think the system they had in sniper elite 3 was a bit to mutch.
One big thing you not talk about. I must say SE3 No Cross pvp was alot better then SE4. Same with tagging of pvp players.. can tag anyone the are close to a window in SE4.. that are really bad compare to SE3. Some maps you cant even use half of it because you not see the enemy at all in No Cross SE4.
shame that sniper elite 5 keep many of this step downs. yeah have a fluid gameplay and the invasion mode..but seems inferior in a way to sniper elite 3
Weapon upgrades in 4 is TRASH. UTTER. TRASH. I don't mind if they made each weapon unique in some way/ways. And that was without knowing the highest diff TURNED OFF UPGRADES!? Oh wow, 3 works the way they said 5 will. Fantastic.
Many of the levels in Sniper Elite III are based off and named after real places in Northern Africa, places that were of some significance to the Africa Campaign.
Tobruk, Halfaya Pass, Siwa Oasis, Kasserine Pass. I was a little bit impressed by this.
In Sniper Elite 4, every location is fictitious. "The Isle of San Cellini, the village of Bitanti." It didn't necessarily hurt the game, but it was something I noticed.
I agree with you you're right, And yeah sniper elite 5 trailer came at lastt, You can I already seen the trailer that SE5 is having king Tiger tank now that's wholesome
Totally agree with your comments. Another little niggle I have is that it was much faster to search dead enemies for ammo etc in SE3. Seems to take ages in SE4 especially when you have just taken out an entire group.
You can quick search bodies though: Simply hold the search button in for a brief second and dont wait for the search to go full circle:
Niggle? Racist much
I agree with the vehicle kill cams one. Call me a pyromaniac, but I love watching the bullet hit the fuel tank and then causing it to ignite.
Most Hollywood level shit ever lmao
I agree with everything, especially the glint and the weapons parts being collectables. In Italy there were Panthers in action against the Allies for the first time, and there were also a few Tigers in Sicily. In France we would have all types of German tanks, and there could also be StuGs, since those were the most numerous AFVs of the Wehrmacht.
Also, armoured crews should have different uniforms than the infantry. Panzer and other motorized units had adapted uniforms, like the black panzer uniform and the shorter panzer jacket.
Only around 2 or 3 King tigers were operational in Normandy in 1944 so if there are more than that in sniper elite 5 then it is not accurate
@@Jack_Broome That's not how historical accuracy works. It only gives a general idea of the situation, so the historical fiction can work; it's not meant to harmstring the story.
It was probably a cost savings move.
@@Jack_Broome But over 100 Tiger 1's - which is the Tiger included in SE3.
For me the biggest one was the upgrade system. Not only were the upgrades getting ridiculously grindy but also there was never a drawback to any of them. It was always just a blanket improvement. As you pointed out the SE3 upgrade system always gave you a compromise. You can improve A but B will get worse which I think is much better. Obviously we do now know that the upgrade system in SE5 seems to be an even improved version of the SE3 mechanics.
It’s cause you can actually add like a hardened bolt or lightened bolt. Sniper elite 4 it’s literally just get this amount of a special type of kill and your recoil is upgraded?? Like wtf? Just magically upgraded
I really like the maps of SE3, I love desert aesthetics in general so it just looks so nice to me.
I'd like to see the enemies retain damage after death in SE5! Its really immersion breaking when you put a huge hole in a soldier's head, only to see them lay there perfectly intact!
Gosh...I have played 3 but I never knew about seeking for parts for upgrades. BUT I'm soo much into 4 (and looking forward to 5) that I'm not going back to 3 to test it out again. Thanks for the info though.
Go back and play 3 again, still a fun game 👍
Same! Didn't know about modification on 3.

Back in January 2020, Rebellion PR department Tweeted that we'd see videos on SE 5 in early summer.
I feel they allocated to many resources into SE VR
Where it should’ve been directed for SE5.
Can't argue with that!
@@Cghv-88 and Zombie Army 4 At that time
We got some footage
A feature seldom addressed, and never rewarded, is the scope-shot! Putting a round right through his lens and into his eye, gives a massive amount of satisfaction and yet, that's all you're gonna get for that piece of sniper mastery!
4 was phenomenal but 3 was very good in its own right.
In sniper elite 3 the enemy vehicle (tank & halftrack) feels more harder to combat rather than enemy vehicle in sniper elite 4 that's why I love sniper elite 3 and also I miss sniper nest in sniper elite 3
I agree with vehicle engine kill cam & sniper glint
I'm honestly surprised that longshots and snipers nests were not mentioned
Sniper nests were a nice collectible but i prefer finding the long shots myself as opposed to the game telling where they are.
One other thing Sniper Elite III did better was the inclusion of the anti-tank rocket launchers as a weapon that can be equipped in the main menu. Plus, the Panzerschreck was a much better weapon than the Panzerfaust in the anti-tank role imo, having zero range drop when its rockets are fired.

It would save time if you were looking for a health pack if SE4 used similar symbols to that of ZA4. You could even have separate symbols for health, ammo and explosives. It would be a great help. I hope that Rebellion read the comments on your UA-cam channel - they should do, it has better SE4 content than their own channel!!
Great review, "better SE4 content than their own channel!" 👍
That seems a bit more Arcade-y? Wouldn't object, but I'd want to turn that feature off! :)
The reason we see different tanks in sniper elite 3 for what i assume is for historical accuracy but we see only a hand full of tanks since most of the panzer division was fighting the allies in sniper elite 4 alot of the tanks during the battle of italy were panzers mainly panzer 3 and afew panzer 4 plus during 1944 allied bombings crippled production so most of the tanks Germany had were panzer 3 and 4
SE3 main theme was more epic
I agree, best SE theme tune yet.
Were all always entitled to our opinion. Great video
I can’t tell you how bloody awful it was searching for the enemy you killed that had the upgrade part, because shit hit the fan and your enemies died in different places than the collectible guide! I prefer 4’s weapon upgrade. It just seemed more fun to play, similar to strange brigade.
I agree with your opinion but also in sniper elite III the killcams of soldiers were better made in my opinion because for example after shooting on the eyes the certain part of face went missing but in sniper elite 4 only the eye would be broken
Weapon customization looks awesome in SE5. I think SE4's is kinda grindy and the authentic difficulty making the upgrades moot is argument enough that 3 and potentially 5's will be better
with number five i think a dual system would be best if you do the challenges for the gold mastery skin it shows effort so i think slight bonuses to the base weapon would be nice but then mods also from game to game you could find
100% agree.
i disagree on the scope glint. to me personally the snipers in se3 were very annoying just because of that tbh. yes you can spot snipers much faster in se4, but they also spot you faster. imo it's more fun like it is now. but how about for an option to switch between standard glint and realisic glint? completely optional like the throw away clip/magazine option in se4. would make everyone happy 🙂
Interesting you prefer the SE4 scope glint, personally i much prefer the SE3 version. If anything i'd say keep the SE4 version for easy-hard then use the SE3 version for Authentic/A+
or a mix of both for a+ 😉
You could spot snipers just fine in SE3, while 4's is just too much. It'd be fine if Rebellion could make a dynamic light system or just have it be distance based.
I actually want the player's scope to give off a glint too so enemy soldiers will know where to look lol
@@BrutalBarracuda I think a solution would be to tie this to difficulty level. Leave it as is on Cadet but gradually reduce until on Authentic plus you only really get something if a light is reflecting of it.
Sniper Elite 3 is better then SE4
AUDIO MAN , Ty !
I am a little late to this video and your channel, but here's to hoping they bring back Flint and Steel. I know the Timed TNT kinda takes that place, but I like Flint and Steel by Dang-it!
It would not surprised me if little features and systems that were done better in three were simplified and sort of dumb down and expanded in some ways for a more mainstream audience to be more easily introduced into the game
I absolutely despised the weapon upgrade system in SE4
I’m more of a zombie army player but I got SE4 on game pass and I’m now obsessed with it. I’m playing the DLCs and your video is making me want to play 3 haha.
Great content, you got a sub.
Agree with you
I agree but one more is slow bullet cam which looks gr8 in sniper elite 3 than 4
totally agree
SE4 Sniper glare was over the top, it was like the enemy sniper was saying "Helllloooo look at me I'm over here! Yoohoo!"
Problem I had with 3 was change paint job changes stats also your argument on 4 play custom then set everything onto authentic so don't complain what we need is improvements that 4 has with the good things from 3 then perfection
7:15 👀 lol
As a misophonia sufferer who had to have the ABSURD breathing effects in 3 modded out by a russian modder I can say in a vanilla constest 4 wins hands down.
Yes bro
And miss the benchmark mode As well even Zombie Army 4 has it
I wish they add last of us,the division,uncharted,assasince creed future like
Nice one
Thanks 🔥
for some reason I think the kill cam got worse and worse.
My fav. was Sniper Elite V2.
Maybe a purist here, but for me the original is the only one that matters
Good game too!
Interesting, keep it up, no the video's uploads not what you were thinking. :)
Agree
We need more multiplayer maps on this one or an option maybe to buy them.😜
I hope 5 can be ported to switch.
Sniper Elite 3 has alot of great qualities.
V2 will always be where it all started....
Agreed...
1st Id like to know if theres a survival mode in SE5 dye happen to know BB?
secondly if YOU want to go through the whole game on hard thats your choice but I hope they dont make it so you have to rob a particular npc just to get all the weapon upgrades it was bad that way IMO - still wouldnt be the end of the world
Yes there is survival in SE5 thats supports up to 4 players.
I agree
6:31 what about upgrade Kit from Zombie Army 4 ?
I feel like se3 is better it just has more heart and the setting is all real stuff. I cant think of many war games set in ww2 africa
LOL I still can’t find glint
Nice
Thanks
in my opinion SE3 graphics looks better than SE4 on my old xbox console. Now I have a more powerful xbox and I'm waiting for SE5.
I disagree with the weapon customisation system in sniper elite 3, I think the system is better in sniper elite 4, because its more simple, I think the system they had in sniper elite 3 was a bit to mutch.
sniper elite 6 russian
One big thing you not talk about. I must say SE3 No Cross pvp was alot better then SE4. Same with tagging of pvp players.. can tag anyone the are close to a window in SE4.. that are really bad compare to SE3. Some maps you cant even use half of it because you not see the enemy at all in No Cross SE4.
Most of the cuts are likely due to budget, mate.
shame that sniper elite 5 keep many of this step downs.
yeah have a fluid gameplay and the invasion mode..but seems inferior in a way to sniper elite 3
Weapon upgrades in 4 is TRASH. UTTER. TRASH. I don't mind if they made each weapon unique in some way/ways. And that was without knowing the highest diff TURNED OFF UPGRADES!? Oh wow, 3 works the way they said 5 will. Fantastic.
Yup, the weapon customisation in SE5 is sounding great!
*Sniper Elite 3 will always be the best.*
I wouldnt go that far. Its a great game tho! 👌
I agree it that was not one to be overlooked or dissed one reason - that Airfield mp map it was great I really miss it
How do you play on the hardest difficulty? i would never hit anything without aids.
Practise makes perfect, also check out my tutorials on how to improve your aim 👍
Long shots
