New version is being made with updated graphics and gameplay. Thoughts?

I don't know if new version is right, it looks to be a sequel, just set in the same location.

I was addicted to the first, and can't wait for some real shooting, unlike other games with sniper in the title.

I wonder just what they do have in mind for this, as I hope I can find a good co-op partner, but very few appreciate the effort and enjoyment in shooting in that game. It really challenged you, mind you I felt that Marksman should be the moderate level of difficulty.

If anything I hope that they match the complexities of shooting in the graphics side of it. For the first, as good as it is, it was let down by the engine over the course of the campaign.

Yeah, the level design is completely different in V2. The only thing that stayed the same is the time period and general setting.

I'm totally loving it. I'm 19 hours into the campaign, and just started the 8th full mission (yeah, I play slow). All of the features are still there from the original, however I'm seeing a distinct lack of very long distance shots. I think my longest shot so far has been just over 300 yards. It is also about as linear as the first game, which doesn't bother me, as there are usually several ways to approach your targets. And the game looks just glorious - Yeah, I know there are better looking games out there, but V2 does a fine job giving me a real sense of place. I cannot imagine how much work it took to model all of those devastated buildings, and then work them all into the level design, which I think is excellent.

And the new and improved X-Ray Kill Cam just never gets old.
