In addition to full campaign co-op for two online players (sadly this series has never offered split-screen), Sniper Elite III will include several unique multiplayer modes. The actual sniping does of course switch to a first-person scoped view, with the option of holding your breath for increased steadiness. Players will need to remain stealthy and evade enemy forces as they forage for supplies and climb to opportune sniping positions. Traversing the African environments and war-torn cities won't feel like just another FPS experience because Sniper Elite III mostly sticks to a third-person perspective. Allied intelligence indicates that the Nazis are developing a super weapon that could turn the tide of the war, making it imperative for Karl and his allies to stop them. Players will take on the role of series hero Karl Fairburne as he battles Germany's infamous Afrika Corps. The new campaign takes place in North Africa, which is actually a fresh setting for World War II-era games. Nazis are the perfect enemy for such brutal killification since we don't usually feel too much empathy for them. When you make a successful shot, the camera zooms in and shows the bullet passing through your foe in gory detail, often with an X-ray view for added emphasis.


Although that war is a bit played out videogame-wise, it makes sense because of how much the Sniper Elite games celebrate their sniping kills. The Sniper Elite games have always taken place during World War II.
