Sup, been looking forward to this sequel ever since having played the revamped version for the Ps3
(not the original 360) version.
The first game was fun but had some flaws. Namco Bandai is hyping this one up to be on the same
level as the Call of Duty, Metal Gear Solid and James Bond franchises. Which the facts are meh to comprehend....
but hey it's a budget shooter and they got ambitions (like HomeFront)!

About This Game
Summary:
Takes the bulls-eye precision of its best-selling predecessor to new and exciting heights. Powered by CryEngine 3 technology, the missions of Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 are graphically stunning and more challenging as you once again step into the ghillie suit of a special ops sniper to take down the enemy.

Release Date: January 15, 2013
Targeting a Rating of Mature or Above: M+
Genre: First-Person Shooter
Publisher: City Interactive
Developer: City Interactive


Anyway, the main reason we should look forward to this game,
is cause there are some early levels in the game which are based right smackdab in the Philippines.
......During a recent visit to Namco Bandai’s UK HQ, the likes of Call of Duty, Metal Gear Solid and GoldenEye are all name-checked throughout a presentation of an early level set in the Philippines..........

An early level set in Philippines offers ample opportunity to showcase some of Ghost Warrior 2’s headline features. Two-in-one kills, long-distance takedowns and the chance to drop lone bad guys, surreptitiously, and have their corpse disappear out of sight for an undetected kill are all satisfying. However, there appears to be a tendency for it to turn into a duck-shoot, if one enemy goon spies what you’re doing, which prompts his buddies to pop in-and-out of cover like a fairground whack-a-mole. What the Philippines level does demonstrate to good effect is the visual improvements made possible by City Interactive’s work with CryEngine 3. As the sun glints off the water and dense foliage is pushed aside as you stalk through the foliage, it’s easy to get caught up in the aesthetics of the environment, especially when playing on a high-end PC.

But no amount of graphical polish can hide linearity, and a subterranean cave system highlights this particularly well. Your spotter guides you, step by step, through an area teeming with guards, telling you when to stop, what path to take and when to make your move. This leads to the feeling of a fairground-style, on-rails ride as you’re guided to each new vantage point to overhear the conversations of guards or observe a particularly pretty waterfall. The one instance in which I disobey the spotter and forge ahead on my own, I run into three oncoming guards, two of whom promptly get stuck on the scenery and are unable to offer effective resistance.

The level culminates in your cover being unavoidably blown, resulting in an enforced shoot-out and the detonation of explosive charges that have a predictably chaotic effect on the stability of the underground passages. This results in a dash to the surface, guided every step of the way by the faithful spotter who tells you where to turn and even when to leap obstacles. Despite his desperate pleas that I hurry, I dawdle for a few moments near the exit only to find that the explosive charges have done little more than result in some screen-shake and copious particle effects – another insubstantial parlour trick............
