Review by Archangel ScreamOverviewThere’s a good working brief, an overview without any clutter, and there is a limited choice of weapons if you find sniping with a scope too easy. There's also a good range of custom music used - some of which fits into the action superbly. MissionThe basic premise is that you are a Soviet sniper in a town facing an assault from NATO forces. Starting on the roof, you are ideally placed for targeting, but a cursory glance of the set up shows that the Soviet positions really could do with improving – squads should be static and bracing by cover, rather than jogging around the open perimeter of the town. And when a squad of NATO special forces approach the mission builder has made the mistake makes the mistake of having them move far too openly. Better use of waypoints seems to be the main overall flaw here. This doesn’t affect the play as much as lessen the realism somewhat, but as the attack happens you’ll soon be engrossed. Outro(s)There's some cutscene work involved in the mission and an end-outro. The camera work is fairly well done, though still rough in places, and the end-outro is just a little gratuitous though makes an important statement to the end of the mission which makes for a nice overall wrap to the package. Overall(Review Date: Oct 2002) This mission has many cutscenes, with a long intro and outro. It also has many surprises. Although experienced players might find it too easy, it is good for newer players who like a story well-told. A decent and respectable mission worth playing, with much promise for even better missions following. |
