Sniper Elite III is a tactical shooter video game developed by Rebellion Developments and published by 505 Games for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and Microsoft Windows. The game is a prequel to Rebellion's 2012 game Sniper Elite V2, and is the third instalment in the Sniper Elite series. Sniper Elite III is set several years prior to the events of Sniper Elite V2, following the exploits of Office of Strategic Services officer Karl Fairburne as he participates in the North African conflict during World War II, in which he learns of a secret wonder weapon programme by the Nazi forces.
The game retains and improves on the mechanics of Sniper Elite V2. Players go through large battlefield maps based on the North African conflict. The sniper rifle is the player's primary weapon, though additional side arms including submachine guns and pistols, silenced or not depending on the situation. In addition to hand grenades, the player can deploy them as tripwire booby traps, land mines and dynamite. Binoculars can be used to tag enemies in view, displaying their position and movements. The player-character must hold their breath to properly line up the shot. A red icon appears in the scope, marking the projected point of impact.
On July 21 2014, Rebellion games announced a new downloadable content (DLC) pack for Sniper Elite 3. The DLC pack adds three new missions in which the player needs to save Winston Churchill from a German assassination attempt. Sniper Elite III received generally favorable reviews with a score of 7/10 on Eurogamer, a score of 8.2/10 on IGN and a score of 6.0 from GameSpot. Josiah Renaudin praised the wildly addictive slow-motion kills into the human skeleton mentioning the most brutal shots such as: Headshot, Lung Shot and Testicle Shot. But complained about the stale story, very simplistic A.I. and bland voice acting that generally does not fit into the over-the-top tone of the role of being a sniper.
