Bad controls
I like sniper games, but the controls in this one prevented me from having fun.
Reviews for "The Strangers"
Not very realistic..
Two snipers covering an entire area..sure I suppose you tried..
But I ran out of ammo? What's up with that man, all I get is 5 shots per guy? I hit every shot just so you know and regulary switched snipers, but..what? I must of taken out like 9 'strangers' only to be told one area is clear, I move my sniper to another area only to find this so called 'menace' cropping up where it said secure? Couldn't move my sniper back in time so..yeah..
I love sniper games but you could do with making this more realistic. Personally I enjoyed the not having to face off against 20 terrorists firing AK 47's at me whilst I try to snipe from one position. The fact you can change positions is a great touch to a game like this though.
Work on this, make it like a strategy game where you go in alone, or with a team and pick a position, fire, pick a position etc completing your mission that way. Have one in a jungle perhaps, or one set in Iraq where you have to stop a convoy, then take out the gunners so your squad can move in and wipe out the remaining forces. Nice big powerhouse of a sniper rifle, loud and proud for that mission.
Wheras do one with nightvision when your on your own, with a silenced sniper rifle at night on a boat somewhere. The people will thank you.
Trust me, it'll make a change from all these 'ooh, wait for the guy to show himself and plug him one' or 'you must kill these 3 guys in this order' bullshit that the snipers games are these days..
All in all I like this game. At least your trying something differant and not making another clone of another sniper game..see 'Chav hunter' then 'Clear vision' and you'll see what I mean.
Nice work there buddy.
6 stars, because it was good, kept me playing but just needs that extra something to make it stand out.
bit tooo hard
you dont need to black out the screen
real snipers dont have that problem
you take that away fix te few qlitches and this will be a dope game
many flaws but quite good
Theres definately the timing issue, and I dont understand those corner hints
"Menace on position 2"
When you get to position 2, you have like 10 seconds to look for someone that isnt even there >:( and you end up losing. Improve please
i agree
with the person below...you dont have enough time to figure out where the menace is..an the snipers need to move quicked cause we dont have enough time for anything
