Sniper Elite 3 (free DLC on preoder)

I wonder if people at Rebellion were scoffing at the stupidity of Ubisoft over Watch Dogs or are a lot of delvelopers that retarded they think they'll have people believe their ******** and get away with it?

Doesn't alter the fact Sniper Elite 3 is a damn good game.

Been doing some of the first levels in the campaign yesterday to which i am most overly impressed at the moment with it but i do really love the new details they have done with the inside body damage model.

Read about the revoked games on steam earlier today. Shockin. Anyone had theirs resolved via steam or somewhere like cdkeys?

Hopefully it is a localised thing with SE3/Rebellion as, I was thinking about using cdkeys to pick up watchdogs or the like.

Same here, going to play the campaign first then some mp/co-op with LtMatt, he won't play this until Mantle is available though.

What exactly is Mantle and why won't Matt play without it?

It's a new API from AMD http://www.amd.com/en-us/innovations/software-technologies/mantle#overview

Matt loves Mantle and won't play without it.

This thread will explain what Mantle is. As i did with Thief, I'd rather wait until the game as full Mantle support before i become immersed in it. Personal preference of mine. Plus i have a load of new games im playing at the moment.

That is absolutely insane. You honestly push AND fanboyism to a whole new level of weird if you refuse to play the directX versions of titles :S

I don't refuse, it's just a personal preference. I doubt it's a game i will play repeatedly so ill happily wait for Mantle support till i get immersed in the campaign. I think your comments are insane.

Don't really see the point of mantle for this game, already running super smooth on my i5 750, 290 on max settings @1080p with no aa and 2.25x super sampling and vsync on.

According to benchmarks it seems very well optimised. Props to Rebellion for their excellent work tbh. Mantle may benefit the multiplayer aspect of the game more than the single player in my opinion, but we'll see. Sniper Elite games have traditionally been gpu limited and i can't see this one changing that. It will be interesting to see what sort of uplift Mantle offers in this gpu limited scenario. I would expect the uplift to be lower than what we've typically seen in other frostbite titles.

I got mine from Simply Cd keys.

It does seem a bit silly to have released it without Mantle and then add support later on. Unlike Lt I have no patients and have to play it now and once it gets Mantle support, and if I've finished it by then, I won't replay it just for Mantle.

Ordered this tonight on CJS keys and no code from them

Kishywish · 30 Jun 2014 at 21:55

To those that have played it, how does it compare to v2?

And how the hell will mantle change your immersion in the game? Really? :rolleyes:

I think he means he will wait til mantle is ready as messing about mid game will ruin the immersion.

Side note though Matt has 290 crossfire so mantle isnt even needed

Is it possible to reset your statistics? Even if you start a new campaign, your level progress carries over.
