![]() It’s less exact, but potentially more useful than the dot.Īs well as your sniper rifle, you have a pair of binoculars and a drone. If your rifle even has a zoom function, because not all of them do. Contracts has the “dynamic reticle system” which now shows a dotted line in an arc where your bullet should travel, so long as your elevation and zoom are set correctly. In SGW3, you could see exactly where the bullet would hit with a little dot. It's also how you can see the bullet trajectory with the brand new system. Since the Sniper Ghost Warrior franchise prides itself on realism, the face mask is their excuse for why you've got a heads-up display. Including two explosions, which upset me a little - I like to hear the explosions I’m causing, because I’m too cool to look at them. Or they may have been missing - several things that should have made noise didn’t, due to it being an early build of the game. The previous game had quite a lot of breathing sound effects, which could grate in longer play sessions, but those have been toned down. Similarly, the quality of music, sound effects and voice acting is great, too. CI Games has made good use of CryEngine, although it does mean Contracts won’t be coming to Switch. The story may be barebones, but the graphics are fantastic. So long as you get things done, they don't care how you do it. You're given a prototype face mask to wear, which will enable your employer to easily verify when you've completed contracts, and of course to stay in contact. It's the near-future, and Siberia is no longer part of Russia after a bloody conflict. Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts has a basic story - you're a mercenary for hire, who has been hired to do a bunch of stuff in post-independence Siberia. I was also on a time limit, even though that limit was quite substantial, so I wanted to get a real feel for the game, and can do the full tutorial when the full version is released. I tried out most of the tutorial, but skipped out and just decided to jump straight in. ![]() ![]() And then going loud when I inevitably screw up…Īvailable to play was a tutorial section and two of the five locations. Although I’m terrible at it, I do enjoy sniping targets from afar in any game that lets me have a scoped weapon. When I was invited to check out a preview build for Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts, I jumped at the chance. Sneak in, go loud or snipe everyone from almost a kilometre away in spectacular first-person fashion. Taking control of a man simply known as Seeker, you will have 25 contracts spread across five sandbox locations in Siberia, each one approachable however you choose. Not every game needs to be a sprawling open world experience, after all. ![]() However, when it was revealed that Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts would focus less on story and more on creating environments to take out targets in, I was honestly happy to hear it. There is a fan-made “ improvement project” mod available for Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 which fixes several of the main issues, so it’s perfectly playable and enjoyable, and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want more of that. So, when I heard that they were stepping things back a little with Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts, I imagined the worst. The ideas were definitely there, but the execution was a touch lacking. It’s no secret that Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 was a bit of a mess on release. Previews // 5th Nov 2019 - 3 years ago // By Andrew Duncan Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts Preview
