Battlefield 3, MW3 get unlikely rival - Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 shots looking good

CVG: We've just received a basketful of new Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 shots - and it appears that being powered by CryEngine 3 has done the game the power of good.

The title is the follow-up to last year's million-selling FPS title. Although applauded for its decent look, that game received mixed reviews, not least for its flat multiplayer.

No. Screenshots don't make a game and this won't challenge in terms of quality or sales.

flankhim4694d ago

Battlefield 3, MW3 get unlikely rival? Uh no. Not even close.

evrfighter14694d ago

so that's what happened to HHG. He's working for this no name site

RBLAZE19884694d ago

uhh computerandvideogames.com is not a no name site...

Gameplay, and it looks quite good tbh. better the MW3 by a long shot

Ju4694d ago (Edited 4694d ago )

Well, no surprise there. Runs on CryEngine3. Funny, looks like some cookie cutter from UC2...Tibet level? LOL Well, but they managed to introduce some awesome screen tear.

S_C4694d ago

Theres a big difference between a visually nice look edited screenshoot and a visually outstanding looking raw gameplay of a game, so no GW2 take a very far away backseat , thanks

DoomeDx4694d ago

Look at the link above. Its ingame

BattleAxe4693d ago

I watched the E3 footage, and although the game looks nice, its looking like its going to be just as linear as the first one. The guy from City interactive looked nervous when he was questioned about any gameplay details, like he was just trying to talk about how good the game looked.

ATiElite4693d ago

As far as sales NO!
Quality....depends!

Of course BF3 kills everything as far as graphics. But the Cryengine 3 is impressive and many PC Gamers like this series. it could be a sleeper hit if they beef up the game-play. so will have to see.

RIPSKATEDESTROY4693d ago

why do they keep calling it SNIPER ....

A screenshot means nothing. Give us a good gameplay video and a list of features.

Raven_Nomad4694d ago

MW3 has no rival. Even EA said so.

BeastlyRig4694d ago

That just means MW3 is the only arcade shooter this november & it's true!

Takoulya4694d ago

MW3: Coming soon to an arcade near you.

Only $10 per life on FFA, and an incredible price of $60 per life on S&D! Unbelievable!

Raven_Nomad4694d ago

You kids can hate on it all you want, but what do you think EA is going to do if Battlefield 3 is successful? Make a new engine every year? Or release a game to combat COD every year?

I'll stick to the game that keeps a million players on the servers year round and has 40 thousand Gamebattles teams to play against.

snipes1014693d ago

I'm with Raven. It seems that everyone just looks for the easiest person to hate on. COD because it's successful and has Bobby Kotick running things, EA back in the day because it had so many big franchises. Just watch, if Battlefield takes the crown and starts to come out with more frequency, people will run like sheep to villainize it.

yamzilla4694d ago

visually, the first sniper ghost warrior on PC DESTROYED any call of duty game, also laying a firm smackdown on any console game ever made, sadly, the game was a 7 at best, cluncky story, bad ai, some great ideas though, multiplayer was actually fun and a very hard ass game for me, i never put more than 6 hours in the MP so I'm sure that is why I got owned the whole time!

I think this one will be a visual treat on pc, easily decimateing the visuals of call of duty mw3, but bf3 on pc???? most likely not, you never know though.... hopefully up to an 8.5/10, but will it have the production values of the two elephants in the room???, probably not.

hassi944694d ago

That's just not true. I'm an avid PC gamer (but play a fair bit of xbox too) nowadays, but Sniper: Ghost Warrior looked crap. Scenery looked nice but character models, gun models and textures were just all over - rubbish.

Hufandpuf4694d ago

Not the same class of game. COD and BF are war games, SGW is a sniper only game. No comparison.

Takoulya4694d ago

Lol @ CoD being a war game.

Takoulya4694d ago

Not at all. No attempt at realism combined with over-the-top stunts and unlikely sets hardly make them war games. Some parts definitely do seem like war, but generally, I don't know. I still think CoD is good amusement, but calling it a war experience is too far-fetched, IMO.

SixShotCop4693d ago

If MW3 is not a war game, what kind of game is it? I can't wait to see your response.

Takoulya4693d ago

It's an action game. Simple as that. There are barely any components to the latest CoD games pertaining to war, only sometimes in the campaigns. Out of the last 4 games in the series, WaW was the only one whose campaign represented real war, but in online, the only thing war-like about it was the tanks. The online portions of the games have crappy elements that don't have any thing to do with war. 25 kills in a row and call in a nuke? Tiny, arena-like maps? How do those have anything to do with war?

theonlylolking4694d ago

In war there are sniper only stuff.

Tachyon_Nova4693d ago

Yeah in war you have specialist snipers, but don't let that stand in the way of the hate train.

Solid_Snake-4693d ago

and it should have co-op as everyone should know snipers dont travel alone.

Call of Duty Players Disappointed by $80 B.E.A.S.T. Glove Bundle Deal

Recently, players of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone were met with a new bundle featuring the B.E.A.S.T. Glove, inspired by King Kong's armament in the Godzilla x Kong movie. However, the $80 price tag attached to this themed accessory left many Call of Duty fans feeling underwhelmed.

Morons that allow themselves to be milked continuously by this company is the definition of irony.
Spend more $$ and you'll end up In easier lobbies so you win both ways when ya spend that cash

melons13d ago

Controversy in the COD community feels like it happens within an alternate timeline. Activision will take the piss with something, there will be a momentary fuss about it, and then they will forget about it and carry on anyway. Repeat this cycle literally every year for the rest of time.

Gridknac13d ago

They call that a crack head! Thats what this is really about, its an addiction. People who dont smoke cigarettes look and laugh at the addicts that spend $8-$10 a pack, but they cant help themselves, they are addicted. That same analogy applies perfectly to the whole MT industry. Only an addict that was not thinking clearly would spend this kind of money on something so frivolous. A round of multiplayer provides the same high a person gets from scratching a lotto ticket, or putting money on a sports bet. MT in general need to really be regulated because you have a generation of kids becoming adults who grew up only knowing the MT era of gaming. Its normal to them and they will in turn teach their kids the same by just being a gaming parent and getting their kids involved with them in gaming. Thats why no matter how ridiculous the headlines keep getting out of the MT industry, it never seems to fade or go away.

X-2311d ago

I'm so tired of hearing about what they're doing with this game, its never going to change and it's never going to value the consumer over money, furthermore the people who engage so heavily in the microtransactions I guess allegedly are having a blast and can't wait to do it some more this year when the new version of the game drops.

Certain to have some sort of reference to their online store for CBD/THC chews, which is advertising heavily online the last month or two.

Sciurus_vulgaris27d ago

The randomness of the multiplayer characters is one of reason I quit playing COD after briefly returning in 2022. We got Space Marines, rappers, tree monsters etc. all in a series called “ Modern Warfare”.

OtterX27d ago (Edited 27d ago )

I think if there was ever a time for a competitor to rise up and take away some of Call of Duty's thunder, the time would be now. A military shooter that takes itself seriously, not sold out to Fortnitism. Easier said than done, I know... but the time is ripe.

I can't stand this stuff either.

Palitera27d ago

There are tons of MP shooters that make no profit, if you're looking for one of those

fsfsxii27d ago

You guys have been saying this shit since 2009. Fortunately, nobody’s bringing down cod anytime soon, if ever.

crazyCoconuts27d ago

I agree. I really didn't like how the silliness takes away the gritty origins. That and all the crazy effects... dunno. I'm still playing it but I'd love for someone to steal their cheese and cater to grittier players

OtterX27d ago

@fsfsxii It's not so much wanting COD itself to die as it is wanting this silliness to die. Like CrazyCoconuts said, it takes from the grittiness. Many OG COD players want a straightup Military shooter experience, not silly costume time at Carnival.

is this what the kids want these days a pair of iconic stoners who were big in the 70s and have kind of held on I enjoyed their movies decades ago but I never recall the movie where cheech infiltrates a enemy base while chong snipes for support guess I must of missed that one

Man I'm getting to old for this

Knightofelemia27d ago (Edited 27d ago )

Cheech just looks so wrong in the picture.

Profchaos27d ago

Why just why. cod up in smoke

anast27d ago

They charge too much for a game that is kitsch.

MW3 missed its easiest opportunity to give us some of the best Call of Duty maps ever made

From Bootleg to Black Box, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 made a heartbreaking mistake by not remastering the bizarrely forgotten maps from its namesake.
