Sniper 2 DLC, Siberian Strike

Hot on the heels of last week’s release comes the Siberian Strike campaign, you might wonder if a day after Bioshock  releases of the year is a good thing, but lets go with it.

What does excite me about this new campaign is that the focus is more on freedom and allowing you to move around tackling the mission as you see fit. As I have been playing through the game (review incoming) one of my biggest concerns was the ‘shooting gallery’ effect, this looks like it will address it and deliver a more rounded experience.

Now we just need more Multiplayer maps and a better lobby…press release after the break.

SNIPER: GHOST WARRIOR 2 DLC AVAILABLE ON WEDNESDAY MARCH 27th

 Single player DLC, Siberian Strike, will launch for Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 this week.

SYDNEY, Australia — March 25, 2013 — CI Games, a fast-growing international publisher and developer of interactive entertainment, today announced its upcoming DLC. Siberian Strike, will launch for Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 this week, available on Wednesday March 27th  for Xbox LIVE®, PlayStation®Network and Steam.

The DLC is set in an isolated Siberian location and will offer a more open world experience for solving missions.  Players will not be guided and the only way to find their way through the new location is by using the map.

In the remote abandoned Siberian city of Birsovik, the Russian government established a top secret military installation focused on arms R&D. American intelligence gets word that the facility shifted its focus recently to weapons of mass destruction. A CIA operative, M. Diaz is sent in undercover, posing as lab personnel, to uncover the truth. When he stops sending in reports, a search mission is quickly put together.

 The player steps in the shoes of Cole “Sandman” Anderson, a veteran special ops sniper, now in the ranks of Task 121 – a group put together to counter any WMD-hungry warlord’s whim in the Asia – Pacific region. Anderson is ordered to locate Diaz’s GPS signal and assess the situation on the ground, then extract any intelligence he may have found.

 Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 is the only multi-platform first person shooter exclusively designed around the modern military sniper experience. Using the advanced capabilities of CryENGINE3, the game delivers deep graphical environments, diverse challenges, a responsive AI system and the exacting precision and accuracy that made the original a worldwide hit.  With unprecedented levels of authentic weaponry, ballistics and environmental factors,Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 offers the ultimate balance of skill, tension and action.
