Sniper Elite 3

Sniper Elite 3 takes the award-winning series to the unforgiving but exotic terrain of North Africa, into a savage conflict against Germany's infamous Afrika Korps. You stalk your targets through the twisting canyons, lush oases and ancient cities of the Western Desert in a rush to sabotage a Nazi super-weapons programme that could end Allied resistance for good. Because one bullet can change history.

The motto is observe, plan, execute, adapt. You use stealth, planning and execution to hunt targets both human and mechanical, deadly up close with melee takedowns, distractions and explosive traps as you are at long range with signature rifle kills. Expansive multi-route levels carry multiple primary and secondary objectives that can be tackled in any order, and a new Relocate mechanic lets you slip into the shadows when things go hot and start the hunt again on your own terms.

The game's celebrated rifle ballistics account for distance, gravity, wind and even your heart rate, and the revamped X-Ray kill cam now shows muscle layers and the full circulatory system, joined by new X-Ray vehicle takedowns that disintegrate armoured cars, trucks and Tiger tanks piece by piece. Tense adversarial multiplayer offers five modes, while explosive co-op lets two players run the whole campaign together or test their teamwork in the Overwatch and Survival modes. Difficulty can be tuned from Rookie to Veteran to fit any playstyle.
