Aaron,
I was on it for 6 hours yesterday Smile, the sniper is superb. The only gripe I do have is the players tend to stick to each other to easily which didnt happen with CS and the levels can be over too quickly which means you spend too much time listening to the music than playing the game. Saying that you are right about the realism and get a good player on the MG42 and its time to change your route.
I am managing to keep my K.D.Ratio about 1.2 but I play with the graphics cranked right up so the fanatics get an advantage!.
For $20 anyone thinking of getting it wont be disappointed Smile
