Perhaps the biggest improvement from previous entries in the franchise is the move away from completely linear gameplay, with a new focus on player decisions. The X-Ray kill cam is back, complete with slow-motion bullet tracking and extremely gruesome results, while players must consider aspects like wind direction and speed before taking their shot. Most gameplay aspects will be easy to get to grips with for newcomers, or for those who have played Sniper Elite I or II. The main weapon in the game is, of course, a sniper rifle, although players are also able to utilise grenades, tripwire, land mines, pistols and machine guns at various times. Users navigate their way through numerous battlefields, which are considerably larger than in previous games in the series. This setting ends up being one of the game's plus points, as it provides a familiar enemy (The Nazis), yet explores a less obvious theatre of operations during World War II. Sniper Elite III places players in control of Karl Fairburne, an American OSS officer involved in the Second World War's North African conflict.
