It's a good game and fits it's own title well. It's about stealth strategy and sniping plain and simple. All in all a really decent fun game if you enjoy Snipe and strategy. Now go snipe some Nazis :)

@AutoPilotOn: It is very difficult. Overcoming problems like this usually are. Good for you for at least trying to affect some change. I will continue to do so myself whenever and wherever possible. In the wise words of Mahatma Gandhi: "Be the change that you wish to see in the world"
@Netret0120:
Of course it's a first world problem.. who cares. it's still a problem. there are a lot of problems in the world. pick one and do something about it. doing nothing won't help anyone.

Another great example of Comcast's lazy greed: Why is HD television still a premium? Think about it. Only HDTV's are sold in stores now, bandwidth has been cleared and added to allow for HD only television and yet Comcast only offers HD TV as a "premium" that you have to pay extra to get for most cable channels and even some typically free networks! This is Comcast's typical behavior in how they treat and view customers- as only a revenue source to be conquered and exploited. It's underhanded and wrong. But they will continue to get away with this kind of thing until they are forced or shamed to stop, just like most Corporations today. The exception to television watching today should be standard def not HD for those few people that still have and use standard def televisions not the other way around. This is progress? lol. This is Comcast's version of progress which is akin to hording service potential from the country for a ransom. Doing the basic math Comcast is actually getting in the way of progress, not advancing it. It shouldn't be too surprising considering their motives are questionable at best and transparently greed based.
It's simple, Comcast is a telecom, they control internet, cable TV, and phone services. To prevent people from making their cable TV obsolete by subscribing to IPTV type services, they limit peoples bandwidth, and then they tie the knot by making you bundle high speed internet with cable TV to make your expensive internet service slightly more affordable.
Frankly, consumers probably need to make this an issue with whatever consumer protection groups are out there. But I doubt that will amount to anything. What really needs to be done is companies like Microsoft, Sony, Google, Apple, anybody that wants to create a robust set top box service device for consumers, they need to band together to push for better and cheaper consumer bandwidth so that their products can flourish, and they need to push for antitrust lawsuits against telecoms.
Funny thing is though, I read an article a while back that Comcast claims they currently have the infrastructure in place to handle competition if Google Fiber should expand in their territory, and they even said they can provide greater bandwidth if that should happen. So that means Comcast at any time could provide up 1 gigabit/sec bandwidths, if they wanted. When asked why Comcast doesn't offer higher speeds in many areas their excuse is that there's no consumer demand for it. Of course, that's bullshit, they know they're protecting their cable TV arm of business, once affordable 1 terabit/sec speeds are a common place then cable TV is gone.
That is exactly right on! I agree, I think other big companies need to see more urgency in the fact that some of their biggest business interests are going to be dependent on good infrastructure for internet and that it is in their best interests to start pushing back on companies like Comcast who clearly do not care at all about that infrastructure supporting those businesses to their full potential. Those bigger companies you noted would be a nice big boot to use to kick Comcast's butt in gear or kick them out of the way. But yeah, they most definitely can offer people more for less and then some but clearly have chosen the bare minimum and serve up whatever scraps of service they feel like at whatever price they want. Consumers definitely need to step up too. I don't think people and businesses realize how big this potential problem is because things have been the same for so long, no one realizes how much they've been screwed over compared to how things "could" be by now and in the future. People seem to say "things could be worse" way too often in Merica rather than saying things could (and should) be better. Take Sony and Microsoft for example with the Xbox One and PS4... their business growth potential is massive in the US compared to what exists now on infrastructure numbers alone.

Comcast has become the enemy of progress, innovation, widely available broadband internet in the US. If you want to live in a US that has widely available broadband internet access as much of the rest of the world does, you must use your voice in saying no to Comcast's greed based monopoly in the US whenever and where ever possible. Ultimately Comcast really is killing itself by choking off it's own customers to the point where the internet is not only unaffordable to the average citizen, it is useless as well. Comcast needs to be broken up big time. There is no better example of a greedy too big to fail company that is now getting in the way of progress and hurting growth in many areas of the US as a result of it. The arrogance of this company is only equaled by it's stupidity and greed. When the word "LIMITS" or LIMITATIONS are used in the name of progress, you can safely assume that greed, corruption and lies are at the roots of it. Comcast executive David Cohen needs to shut his fat f'ng face up. Demand better internet options in America and by proxy better gaming too.

Comcast absolutely does NOT have the best interests of Americans in mind with their monopolistic control and power grab and they have proven this to be true many times already in their actions with what power they already have. They cannot be trusted to improve anything in Americas infrastructure. The irony of it all is that they are actually making less money than they could be overall by continuing to price a large percentage of people off of broadband internet access. Bottom line is: One company, especially as dumb as Comcast continues to be, should not control the majority of gateways to the internet in America. The results will, and continue to be, a move in the wrong direction.
