Fonzie stole his girl back in the day.

Before or after he jumped the shark?

Sorry didn't realize that was a comment for me. Anyway...

I just want to play a FPS against Italian forces.

Got some time with it tonight....still way early, but generally feels the same as past versions.  Although in first mission, feels like its one man against an entire German army:)  But still loads of fun for me.

I have never played any in the series but I have #2 and have installed it to see what all the fuss is about. IIRC it takes place during the fall of Berlin, 1945.

#2 is the only FPS game I have ever completely finished.

Whoa. What about it did you like the most?

It was the first sniper game I ever played.....the xray kill cam was fresh so was kinda cool to watch people die in different ways:)  I just liked the different missions and having to mostly perform sniper duty to achieve your objectives.  Certainly at times it turned into a killfest, but just liked the atmosphere and missions.  However, I never did complete sniper #3, even if it was more wide open...no idea if I'll complete #4, but will certainly get my money's worth.

^I bet you'd finish if you could go up against the Italian Army.

[Silent Disapproval Robot]

Lots of Italians in Sniper Elite 3 to shoot if you're so inclined, Gus.

[Gusington]

^For realz?

I never made it completely through, but thought the enemy was the German Afrika Korps?  Certainly up until the point I quit, don't recall any Italians. 

[Gusington]

^That's what I thought. And that's why I was excited for #4, set in Italy. To fight...Italians.

Fascists, of course.

[Grim.Reaper]

No idea if accurate, but this site does show Italians listed as enemy soldiers....

Hmm the Royal Italian Army is listed too.

[Gusington]

This is kinda sorta what I've been looking to read:

http://sniperelitegame.wikia.com/wiki/Royal_Italian_Army

The Royal Italian Army was the Army of the Kingdom of Italy from 1861 to the formation of the Italian Republic in 1946.

They were part of the Axis powers during the Second World War, and Allied with Germany and Japan.

Karl Fairburne had to engage them in combat several times whilst he was in Africa in 1942.

They will feature again in Sniper Elite 4, which is set entirely in Italy.
