#SNIPER JOB ON VENTURE TOWNS SERIAL#

And if you didn’t, you’re not going to get much from the sequel. Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune was such a complete piece of rip-roaring, wise-cracking, genre-tapping gaming personality in the sunshine (and tropical rain), that an hour after beginning play, you’d probably be hoping that it would be part of a trilogy.

#SNIPER JOB ON VENTURE TOWNS SERIAL#

If the latest Nathan Drake Saturday morning serial seems to have a slightly short subtitle, then now you know it’s because the raccoon got there first – but a lack of originality isn’t something that should ever be leveled at Naughty Dog’s Jak & Daxter meets Lara Croft with balls.Įven Indiana Jones harkened back to the adventure series of the Thirties, and without him there’d be no Tomb Raider, most probably no Prince of Persia, and certainly no Michael Douglas in Romancing the Stone. Remember, if you’re considering becoming a sniper, good snipers are accurate, but bad snipers should stick to video games.Uncharted 2 will be the second Sony game to use part of the old proverb “there’s no honor among thieves” for its title, the other being the third escapade for a burglar raccoon in Sly 3, released in 2006 for the PS2. Nothing can compare to slipping into enemy territory, accomplishing a goal, and returning unscathed. Training can be hard, but the glory is in the job. Law enforcement and military snipers are paid based on their rank within the force. Working in enemy territory means snipers are able to help select targets for aerial bombings, convey field reports of what the enemy is doing, and be able to take one shot, one kill. The longest recorded sniper shot was 2,430 meters.

In these situations, snipers have to shoot accurately at distances of hundreds of meters. Sometimes they have to take opportunity shots at high profile targets, like enemy officers or generals. After completing a physically and mentally challenging Sniper School, they actively seek out hostile territory where they can observe and recon information back to their headquarters. Military snipers work within the military. They can give valuable information to negotiators, dissolve a situation without lethal force, or take a life to save life. Law enforcement snipers work in close quarters and when they have to shoot, it is shorter distances usually less than 100 meters. These snipers are usually on call 24 hours a day. Law enforcement sniper positions are usually with police departments, SWAT (Special Weapons and Tactics) teams, or FBI. Sniper jobs can be found in two main locations – law enforcement and military. They have to do all of this in any and all conditions without being seen, heard, or detected. The team has to be prepared for different wind speeds, elevations, shooting positions, light conditions, angles, bullet drop over distance, gravity, and sound masking. Both are trained in both jobs, this way they can take turns and avoid fatigue.

Snipers almost always work in teams – a sniper and a spotter. It’s more than just aiming and pulling the trigger.

Snipers need to have a clean background check, as they are becoming masters of a deadly skill. They are in prime physical and mental condition and must pass tests to prove this. Snipers hone these skills through constant training, competition, and real world sniping. A trained sniper is an expert at shooting, camouflage, spotting, orienteering, stalking, reconnaissance, observation, infiltration, surveillance, target marking, map reading, sound masking, and much more. Snipers are glorified for their shooting skills, but snipers do a lot more than just squeeze a trigger.

Sniper skills are not skills you will master at a 9 to 5 job. It is by no means an easy task and only the best succeed. Snipers have to consistently hit targets in all conditions from concealed locations over long distances.
