The moon shines over the horizon as I creep ever closer to the booming of laughter in the distance. A soft rain turns to a downpour covering my sound as I nudge my way into the perfect perch. In the cover of night I deploy a handheld drone which I use to locate my target.
As my spotter tells me to move closer, my range finder tells me the target is 700 meters from my location. The wind blows 5 knots to the north east. I adjust my score to 600m and offset it to compensate for the wind. I line up my shot just above my target's head, hold my breath, and squeeze the trigger.
The ringing of the shot is masked by thunder and as time slows my target falls to the ground. My spotter jumps in excitement saying that was an amazing shot. These were my first moments in Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3.
From the ground up this game aims to capture the very essence of the life of a sniper. Filled with scouting the perfect location, crawling through mud, and planning your escape. This isn't your traditional shooter. It's a highly encounter driven battle of cat and mouse.
Every mission you accept, you can execute as you see fit, when you see fit. You can take your target from a distance, use the environment to kill them, go in guns blazing, or even infiltrate the combat and dispose of them silently.
Your only limitation is your creativity and skill. You can choose the path of the Sniper, laying waste to your foes from a distance, become a ghost and use stealth to dispose of your targets, or go guns blazing as a warrior, wielding powerful assault rifles, shotguns, machine guns, and even explosives. There is no theme park approach to how you engage your enemy.
Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 is set to ship on January 27th, 2017 on PS4, XBOX One, and PC and will be available digitally on many distribution platforms. For more information be sure to head over to http://www.sniperghostwarrior3.com/
