Description

Rainbow Six Siege is currently a popular online shooter but is unrecognizable compared to its source material and even less so when factoring in Rainbow Six: Extraction, which features aliens. There is no single-player story mode. Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 was the last entry to feature a proper story mode and robust multiplayer. Well, it could be. I wouldn't know. I gave up fairly soon, because I just couldn't, COULD NOT stand the stupidity. Sorry, Sgt. Mills, but you are obviously a blood-thirsty idiot and embodiment of all the bad clichés the average civilian has about soldiers - that they are in it for the killing, for the blood, because they think that war is fun. A gritty speedball-run. Strong, cohesive and complete . . . It plugs the reader straight into the blood and guts of the action' The Times This is a solid book, fully equipped with diagrams and photographs to guide the reader through the action. An interpreter might have been handy to get me through some of the Brit terms, but you should have little trouble with most of them. You know: rummaging through the boot and walking about with a head torch and all that. Then you get gems like this from P.240:

This book tells the story of the Battle of Al Amara. A horrible violent hell hole, more Iranian than Iraqi. During 2004 the Princess of Wales Royal Regiment was sent to occupy the town. While the main force was located up at Camp Abu Naji a small battle group was stationed in the main Ba'ath party building in the city centre.

Escape from Tarkov

Like CS GO, the Battlefield series probably doesn't need a detailed introduction. For almost 20 years, it has been providing us with extraordinary emotions during great, full-scale online battles. And that means not only footsoldier battles, but also tanks, armored vehicles, planes, helicopters, and in some installments also ships, horses, or huge Zeppelins! No matter what era of war Battlefield presents us with – modern conflicts, Vietnam, World War I or World War II – there's always room for sniper action. Lone wolves can work just as well here as close-knit teams providing the sniper with protection and an extra pair of eyes when observing targets. What does a typical sniper mission look like? A tale of courage, brutal combat, and a soldier's celebration of his comrades' outstanding performance under impossible conditions, Sniper One is reminiscent of the famous Battle of Rorke's Drift during the 19th Century Zulu War (filmed in Hollywood style as Zulu). They were kept very active by the local population - being involved in the longest fire fight British troops had been party to for over 50 years. Because within days of arriving in theatre, Mills and his men were caught up in the longest, most sustained fire fight British troops had faced for over fifty years.

Far Cry 5 was launched on the PS4, Xbox One, and PC in 2018. The series has always supported all styles of gameplay. Whether it is running and gunning or being silent and stealthy, it is the stealth that is by far the most satisfying and rewarding experience.

Another example of a good sniper game. Although the reboot of the Hitman series was released as three separate games over the course of a decade, it's hard not to treat this production as a single entity. After all, the games share the same menus, continue story threads, and the maps from subsequent sequels only increase in size. The series' protagonist, the iconic contract killer Agent 47, is not strictly a sniper, but he certainly is no stranger to the sniper rifle. Each contract is set on a sizable map full of buildings, nooks and crannies, and can be executed in almost any way you please, and firing a stealthy shot from a distance is among them. What does a typical sniper mission look like? Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands - it's not a real sniper game but you can feel like a real sniper here. Dan Mills��� style is narrative. The style being a narrative is superior in this book, because it gives the readers Dan’s perspective so you get all of the story firsthand. A good example for this is in this quote. “ The Specters pulverized any enemy resistance as soon as they came out” (107). The book takes place in Iraq in the early 2000’s and at a time when the U.S and the British were really accepting the challenge and fighting the terrorists. Therefore the description combined with the style of narrative writing really makes you feel like you are right there at that time. One of the best first-hand accounts of combat that I've ever read.” —Andy McNab, international bestselling author of Bravo Two Zero Jump into this spooky gun game and be the first to get 35 eliminations. Watch out for those flying ghosts......

This was one of the refreshing parts of the book; there was little "I" in it. Where other writers boast of their accomplishments, Mills is more of a "we" type of fellow. If he is lavish in his praise, he is also brutally honest in his criticism. If an officer or subordinate has messed up, Mills names them and lists their offending behavior for all readers to see.I thought before starting that this would be another typical gung-ho war book. Not that I don't enjoy those from time to time, but what I mean is with lowered expectations as to any 'deep thoughts'.
