City Interactive's Sniper: Ghost Warrior shipped last week, but it's not without some technical issues. The publisher knows this, and has confirmed with us today that a patch for both the Xbox 360 and PC versions of the game will be coming within the next two weeks.
What does it fix? Here's the rundown:
- Modifications to several important AI issues;
- Modifications to several GUI problems, such as (a) registration of internet profile; (b) multiplayer statistics; and (c) the removal of the ugly blink after exiting to other menus;
- Several multiplayer bugs will also be fixed (i.e., running outside the map, getting stuck in one place);
- Increased ability to hold your breath in the multiplayer mode will be added;
- The engine crash experienced on some PC configurations will be fixed.
Wondering where our review is? We'll be waiting for the patch, as it seems like it fixes a handful of issues that might affect our final score. And at least now you know what's what. If you're having the above issues, hold tight.

The headline and the text don't match... Headline says PS3 getting patched, body says 360!
This was a good "in-between" game. You know, something to keep you busy in between good games. It wasn't bad, but I'm not going to give it a second playthrough, either.
There's a fair amount of glitches and such, but the environment is so pretty, sniping is a pleasure, and the bullet-cam rocks.
This isn't a $60 game, but it's a good $30 game, I'd say.
I played it just a couple weeks back and it was some of the most fun I've had in a long while.
I meant that for the Red Star review, and I forgot which tab was which.
Ignore that.
I have gone through everybody's suggestions as to how to fix this problem, but nothing has worked thus far.
Don't worry though, I will mention the pre-patch state in the review, absolutely, because it's disgusting the state this thing is in.
There's no excuse for Activison or EA to release a game in this state because they have the resources to fix it before launch. These guys have very little to work with.
3 years down the line, if you look for a game that was launched buggy (i.e. Vanguard) you will only find bad reviews when in fact the game is now good which can be a shame.
Reviewers could also revisit games but that will never happen of course.
