Wildlands: Death Squad Sniper's Nest

Wildlands: Death Squad Sniper's Nest


My goal with most of these game videos is to produce something that is reminiscent of a TV adventure show instead of just another game video. Or if it is a video series something like the old Saturday serials at the movie theater. This particular video fits that idea very well.

The Ghost Recon team gets on the trail of a Unidad Spec Ops group called "Los Extranjeros" who have formed a death squad preying on civilians. In reality, Los Extranjeros, is a group of thugs who are using their military might to take over the drug trade after the fall of the Santa Blanca cartel from power. Follow the story as the Ghost Recon team comes upon the tragic result of Los Extranjeros depredation on a Bolivian village. The trail develops from there leading the Ghost Recon team to the death squad's hide out. The Ghost Recon team then inserts by parachute landing in a literal sniper's nest. The team finds themselves outnumbered 5 to 1 on the enemy's home ground. A typical situation in the Fallen Ghost's DLC. The death squad's hide out or nest is a rocky island atoll. Limited room to maneuver and a quick death from a sniper's bullet makes this mission challenging and dangerous.

This video truly follows my goal of making game videos that become tales of adventure. The video plays much like an action show on TV. The story is laid out with the tale progressing rapidly forward. The action is tense as the team clears out the 20 snipers holding the island. The ending dramatic. I just wish I wasn't 'off' on my sniping skills that day, but that adds to the adventure after all.

The video is 1080p60fps so it works well on full screen. With the sniping through the scope, full screen viewing will give the best result.

Shadow Warrior 2 Takes Me Back 1992 - Wolfenstein 3D, first 'almost' 3D game environment. 1993 - DOOM takes PC gamers by storm! 1996 - Quake takes multiplayer seriously as a main game mode in the 3D First Person Shooter (FPS) game. 1997 - The original Shadow Warrior comes out.  I remember them all. Played them all. See I have been gaming since the, get this, IBM PC jr came along. For all the silly name, it wasn't a bad machine for the time. Back then all games were things like King's Quest, Need For Speed, and such. Later, as hardware permitted, flying games came along like ACES of Europe, ACES of the Pacific. All that time I was wishing hard for what later became known as the FPS game. So, when Wolfenstein 3D, DOOM, and Duke Nukem 3D came along I was ecstatic. In the Shadow Warrior reboots of Shadow Warrior and Shadow Warrior 2 you find that late 90's style of FPS play. No strategy, not even much in the way of tactics like a modern military ...

A  Free-Play  Fur-Ball! Mass charges of over a dozen Unidad troops at a time. Little Bird gun ships,  Blackhawk Gatling gun and rocket pod choppers. Cobra attack helicopters shot down so close they crush an allied rebel and nearly pin me to the tower with the nose.    What started out as an aerial raid on Koani Airfield quickly became a Tier 39, Unidad patrol level 4 - fur ball. A Gatling gun equipped Blackhawk helicopter flies down the throat of Koani Airfield's three SAM sites and runway. Flying low to avoid a SAM launch, and raking the airfield with Gatling gun fire. Forcing Santa Blanca to responds with two armed Blackhawks. A ground infiltration follows, initiated by two ~400m shots. One a head shot. A brutal take  down on a guard gets me in. Then I flub a shot which starts the fur ball. With the help of rebel allies, the four man team takes over the furthest tower. Defending it against all comers. Unidad ground troops attack in wave ...
