Installed yesterday via Game Pass, not really played any of the other but gotta say I'm really enjoying the Campaign.
The map design is superb and its really quite challenging on the harder modes. Its quite refreshing to have a non grindy, non mTX riddled game that you can just pick up and play. It also runs really well and looks geat imo. though I have to say I'm pretty much on a mission to kill everyone on the map and not so good at the stealth bit but as they all Nazi's its fine

Managed to nail a 765m headshot on authentic on the Guernsey map. Use the insertion point on the northeast of the map head up to the attic and mantle up onto the broken bit of the roof where there are vines, look directly due west to the big tower. You'll spot a breakable eagle which measures about 771m on the binos. Directly below that there are two lit windows and you can spot a soldier walking between the two. Use the left edge of the eagle as your reference point for the wind (I used a maxed out 1903 for the shot with match ammo the bullet m/s was around 1500 odd) and set scope to 800 aimed with the line going across his chin and boom.

The game definitely needs a few patches for the AI.
I've had soldiers get in alert loops, where they keep getting the '?' trigger and their map icons turn yellow for a few seconds and then revert back to white - That happened when taking out AA guns on Mission 6. Solution was to eliminate the soldiers first and blow up the AA guns as my last action before exfiltrating.
I've also had soldiers just get stuck in the alert mode forever, which makes things difficult as they keep running around and spot you from miles away.
I've had an issue on the factory mission where the target was talking to an officer who has spawned in a wall, and then the target didn't go back to his scripted thing of hunting rats, so I failed to get 3 stars on that mission, even though I did kill him. Also on the same mission I completed the secondary task one way, then found another way of doing it and also activated that, which seemed to cancel out the first option and the game didn't realise I completed the take - So I actually ended up with 1/3 stars despite doing everything.
Still enjoying it, despite these faults.

Try 3 and especially 4 they are a guilty pleasure.
Do game developers not give a damn these days? There is so much wrong with this game, sometimes it is taking three headshots with the pistol, the enemies always seem to know where you are if you happen to brush a blade of grass and can spot you through cover it seems etc etc.

Judging by this game, no, no they don't.
It also appears that beta testing is a thing of the past.
I reinstalled it again today as my OCD demanded that I complete it, and now I have, It's finally gone into the digital dustbin where it belongs.
Good riddance.

So not only did you complete a game you didnt like but also re-installed it even after knowing you didnt like it?
What a strange way to spend your gaming time...why waste your time playing games you dont like when there are literally thousands to choose from. Gaming is a hobby not job.
I've just finished it and personally enjoyed it, the AI is dumb as hell but other than that it was baggage free fun for me.

I can only assume he felt justified completing it for the cost paid. I haven't bought a game on release for probably 5+ years now, even back then they were still being launched with problems and 5 years on nothing has changed it seems.
Yet, here you are, wasting your time questioning my decision, when there are literaly thousands of threads to post on.
Remind me again about hobbies and jobs

Yeah, a 10 second post on a forum while I'm taking a dump is nearly the same as wasting hours and hours on something you clearly don't like.Yet, here you are, wasting your time questioning my decision, when there are literaly thousands of threads to post on.

Also fyi I actually like this forum and enjoy reading and posting on.
I'm enjoying it. Not had or seen any of the glitches that people have mentioned. The only one I have is that I can't work out how to open the DLC. When I click on it I brings me back out into steam to buy it, but I already own it. If I try to start it from the DLC in steam it just opens the main game.
I'm still getting used to the key bindings. They're different from se4? crouch being the main one. Also I'm sure on SE4 if you ran from a crouch, when you stopped, you crouched. Either that or my hand did it without me realising and now I have to relearn that. I tried rebinding but that caused other issues.
I played a lot of SE4 co-op games and completed all of the previous versions on authentic (and authentic+). I even did all the Zombie ones. I'm hoping this one sticks as well.

Not just me then, thanks.

Indeed that focus mechanic is a total waste of time tbh and the game is much when you dont use it anyway. I stopped using it from the 2nd level.

Focus is good when you don't know what's on the other side of a door, or round the corner, especially when they are hunting for you.
AI in this game is frustrating at best, they just all act like robots rather than something with a brain.

Found that with all of the SE games, they do every now and again do something odd and the oddities change over time. But that's about it. The enemy is pretty predictable especially on the less challenging settings.
