The main character is Karl Fairburne, an AmericanOSS secret agent disguised as a German sniper.

He grew up in Berlin, being the son of the American Ambassador.

There are several factions contending for supremacy in the city, including the German resistance, who wish to aid Karl, the Soviet NKVD, and the Nazi forces.

Fairburne uses several WWII-era weapons, including sniper rifles, a silenced pistol, submachine guns, machine guns, an anti-tank weapon, and German and Soviet hand grenades (which can be also used to make tripwire booby traps).

I suggest waiting for V2, since its out in May. Though the original is still fun, but you may struggle finding MP games.

Yeah even considering it was set in blasted to hell Berlin. The Bullet cam was very awesome. I once got a double head shot with the bullet then continuing on and hitting a panzer's petrol tank which then blew up killing 2 or 3 more.

The new kill came looks even better with the whole Mortal Kombat style x-ray view showing the damage the bullet does.

Nicely done! I loved taking 2-for-1's by shooting someone through the jaw and dropping the guy behind him as well. Shooting the petrol caps off the moving tanks was quite hard with all the NPC's shooting at you.

One thing that stood out from this game was the deadliness of NPC snipers. Your ass was grass if you couldn't spot them in time. Definitely not a faceroll shooter game.

Yeah, hitting that cap was near impossible, the one time I did was purely accidental.

I found most of the enemies pretty deadly if you got spotted or didn't scout properly and a squad gets the drop on you. But yeah the other snipers where a real pain. Normally the only warning you would get is the ping of a bullet next to, or in front of you, the next one would be the kill shot.

Sniper Elite was an awesome game. Still love that bullet cam on the long range shots. I remember it being the most realistic game at the time in terms of ballistic damage, V2 looks like it'll raise the bar on that.

Bullet cam was awesome! I used to back into a corner as far back as poss and try get long range head shots. Good times! Although I finished Ghost Warrior it was so lame in comparison with the original!
 
I played the Demo on xbox live last night and must say it turned out pretty decent. Sniping Mechanics are awesome and very intuitive, it is also alot easier to the get that magic head shot than it was in the original and it's no longer trail and error affair. There is still a few hickups. AI is a bit thick and there was the odd clipping issue but nothing too huge.

The Kill Cam is really awesome and its incredible satisfying to see your shot hot a enemy in the head, watching it rip through his brain and spark as it exits the helmet. I think I'll pick this up for something to play in between my current mass of RPGs.

Cool. I'll be keen to hear your feedback. While I enjoyed it I feel many fans of the original are going to, on what I've seen in the demo, feel its a step down from the original. The Demo level was extremely linear giving you no option to sneak past and instead encouraging you to start shooting. It could be just the demo showing off the shooting mechanics and the sick kill cam, which really is awesome. I went for mostly headshots in my demo playthrough but I might replay it looking for other, juicy targets like Handgrenades or something. Still watching you bullet leave your gun, then zooming across the level and hitting the enemy sniper you could just barely make out with you scope right in the head and watching the bullet puncture an eye ball, shatter the skull and explode out the back really is awesome. Like I said before it also felt easier to make that awesome shot even on Marksman Difficulty (U get Casual, Marksman & Sniper). i did notice that on Sniper Difficulty you need to watch the wind as well. Maybe on my next playthrough I will try out Sniper Difficulty and see how it changes the game.
 
I couldn't find it on xbl over the weekend? Could it be because I'm on an SA account maybe, or am I just being a noob?
