I smell bullshit those claiming GMG etc are being revoked. I bought my key on GMG and I'm playing the game no problems. So they only revoke some keys from GMG?? Bullshit........
And not a single person mentioning on the GMG forums that their key was revoked. So obviously something shady key sites are spreading to cover their own ass

Same. Got mine yesterday and been playing it fine since.
Well it's simple: those keys have different origins. The stores you mention are wholesale-buying them from different sources - 200 here, 100 there. Some turned out to be 'bad' or from a wrong region.
Today I didn't even need to use my AK. I gotta say it was a good day. (c) - Ice Cube
I'm playing with all the helps disabled/realistic bullets/ HUD markers deactivated and the AI on Elite,
In both Sniper Derp V2 and this one too, there's no point to disable the hud helps. It doesn't make the game more challenging but more frustrating. You can't measure anything with helps off. You can't measure the distance with your binoculars, the wind speed is just an estimated number, and on top of that your scope is not measured too. You need that because you don't have the tools that we have these days.
Long time ago I've been playing ARMA 2 with ACE a lot. Sniper missions, long range shots especially and it takes a lot to do such shot. Even will all the tools you are provided. Here, they give you literally nothing if you turn everything off and they expect you do to something.. sure bro.. I'll rather play on "arcade" mode with simple bullet drop like in BC2 and thats it. The game is not made for true long range shooting experience like this one for example
SEV2 and SEA are just a guessing games if you turn everything off. You will never be sure where your bullet will land unless its in point blank range or 10m away, simply because you can't "prepare" the shot. You don't have the info needed for that.
Yep, I'm not too familiar with ACE, but such long range sniping in Sniper Elite with everything disabled is indeed tricky (as in, random and based mostly on pure luck).
I've never had the chance to perform these shots because the environments aren't as wide as Arma's, so that's probably the reason why I haven't experienced too much frustration thus far. I'm going with a mix of sneaky stealth and medium range sniping, that's more manageable and "predictable" when it comes to guessing bullets physics (and I believe the game is mostly designed for that approach). It's called Sniper Elite, but the name is a bit misleading, since it's more like a stealth-action game with some sniping here and there.
At the first level where you're told to kill a enemy spotter standing on a hill you can go back to the initial part of the level where you killed the two previous spotters and snipe him from there, that's a fairly long bit of distance to practice against.
(There's a long distance shot area somewhere too but I've found nothing like that on the rest of that map.)
So far, without trying just for that, I managed to get 275m shot in SE3. It was funny because the guy seemed like he's "out of range". Of the game I mean. It took like 10 sec for the game to count it as kill lol. It looks like the game is not designed for such "long" shots after all
To be honest if I was given the option, I will rather take off the scope of my rifle and go in like in CoD 1/2. I don't need a scope for such small distances.
Having problems getting the FTS version to run. The game closes after the rebellion and title screens, and when I try using the gamelauncher.exe, I'm getting a missing msvcp120d.dll error, which I've never had before. Anyone with a similar issue?
There must have been a door there in the wall, when I came in.
Truly gone fishing.
Is there a way to upgrade your weapons? The tutorial about looting bodies mentioned weapon upgrades, but I haven't seen any upgrade system in the loadout screen.
reloaded release - keep getting this read error in theBlob1.PC_textures. Already redownloaded from another source, updated UltraISO, then tried installing without mounting. same error.
**Game runs fine so far. Just ignored out of error. Nice graphics and gameplay!

It's shown on screen when changing your loadout and hovering over the rifle.

You can modify the rifle with the parts you gather off the bodies, there's a button for that on the loadout screen. Choose Edit and then you'll have it.

Finished the game. And its the worst in the serie. I dont feel like im playing a sniper game. Maybe I just dont like the setting in the desert. Feels like hitman/splinterCell with a sniper rifle
I had more fun walking on the roof and taking out other snipers in SE2 than in the whole SE3 campaign.
Haha, had to check that initial part myself because it looked even worse than I remembered (since playing with the hud disabled makes me miss some tricks), but nope. When the icon is displayed, the AI completely ceases to function
The "Elite" difficulty doesn't make any difference either, it's like an on/off mechanism.
A real shame that the AI hasn't been improved after V2. Hell, even Ubisoft despite the unwanted changes, actually made Blacklist quite satisfying on purist (AI included) :/

Is there Kar98 in the game? Because I am only continuing playing just to see if its there, because the main protagonist is carrying one in the box art and in the boot screen.
Is anyone else having trouble with negative mouse acceleration in this game? It's like when you move your mouse really fast on your desktop, the crosshairs for your gun actually move slower. Seeing as how I'm trying to shoot enemies quickly with the suppressed pistol this is getting very aggravating...

I think what you see in the armory is all you have without any DLC active, with those you also get the mosin nagant ("camo", my new favorite rifle until I unlock the Lee Enfield, thanks crack.), stg44 (Which is somehow rather weak but at least it fires fast, also camo.) some American revolver a bit weaker than the British one and a trenchgun / shotgun. (Plus there's four weapon packs in the works so who knows what the developers will add.)
