The game allows up to two online players to play through the entire campaign or see how long they can last in the Survival mode. We certainly enjoyed our time with it. Sniper Elite 3 swaps the war-torn streets of Russia and Germany for the deserts and oases of North Africa as Karl Fairburne takes on the Nazi's Afrika Korps. Of course, the most appealing feature is the slow-mo X-ray death cams, which you'll get to enjoy to almost no end while you play.

Oddly the game is priced differently on each console. The PS4 version comes in at $17.75 while the Xbox One version is $19.88. The PS3 and Xbox 360 versions are also under $20.

Sniper Elite 3: Ultimate Edition includes the base game along with the "Save Churchill" three-part mini-campaign, six additional weapon packs, and six previously released multiplayer maps, along with other add-on content like a Shooting Range mode, the Twilight Strike co-op Overwatch Mission, and the Capture The Flag multiplayer mode.
Here's the rundown of all of the DLC included in the Ultimate Edition:
In Twilight Strike, two players are tasked with drawing the Germans out of Tobruk so they can retake it. Twilight Strike is said to have a more open level design, more choices, as well as optional hidden objectives and new achievements. The Operative in Twilight Strike will have full run of the map and the Sniper will also be able to fully explore the map when he's able to relocate. In the mission, there will be hidden weapons and some unique features, such as an MG42 that the players can set up in their choice of two locations and safes that the Operative can crack.
"Outpost Canyon" places players in the Atlas Mountains, where the Battle of Kasserine Pass had taken place in 1943. According to the press release, "Ominously deserted, the map is littered with evidence of previous skirmishes for what was once a crucial supply line for German forces; forgotten artillery positions and the scorched remains of vehicles mark the undulating landscape, ridges and barren river-bed." The "Axis Weapon Pack" will include weapons that normally the enemies would wield, including various German, Italian, and Japanese guns for you to wield. These weapons include:
Continuing the story from the first portion of the DLC, "Belly of the Beast" contains a brand new single-player and co-op mission for Sniper Elite 3. One thing is for sure: it's as explosive and epic as ever.
While the PC version of the patch is out already, the console version of the patch (which contains additional console only fixes) isn't expected to hit until at least August 11th. Because the patches need to go through various processes before being launched on the consoles, Rebellion is unable to give an exact time as of now. The good news is the patch will address connectivity and crashes in co-op and multiplayer - something that many console users have complained about.

Sniper Elite 3 is a game we gave quite high praises to. It's a game that features two player online co-op campaign as well as separate co-op modes to enjoy, Overwatch is especially fun, with one player taking the role of the sniper while the other provides cover fire and the CQB specialty soldier.

Well if you've ever wanted to play bodyguard to Mr. Churchill, the wait is over. "Save Churchill - In the Shadows" Part One is available for download on Steam, right now. Console versions are coming later this summer, as will Part Two and Three.
Sniper Elite 3 has only been out for a little while (since June 27 on PC), but 505 Games and Rebellion have released a few new DLC packs for players to grab: Hunter Weapons Pack, Camouflage Weapons Pack, Allied Outfits Pack, and the Grey Wolf mission.
My first foray into the Sniper series was with the Nazi Zombie Army four player co-op titles released by Rebellion a few years back. These spin off games, while a lot of fun in their own right, didn't capture exactly what the Sniper Elite series was all about. While NZA still included the over the top slow motion kill cams that made the series ...
