Stupid Spotter!

The one series of games that has proven to disappoint me has been the Marine Sharpshooter series. Now, I like sniper games, Team Fortress 2 and Sniper: Art of Victory being two examples, but Marine Sharpshooter was a severe disappointment. The games are set in, big shock, areas like Vietnam or the Congo, with enemies that seem to have no trouble seeing in pitch black night while you struggle with night vision goggles. For some reason, along with the ability to see at night, they are able to score perfect hits with low accuracy weapons like shotguns and AK-47s. As if that weren't bad enough, you're paired with a spotter, an attempt to make the game more realistic. If the spotter is played by a second player, then it's alright, but when playing solo, the spotter has the most inept, ineffective, and annoying AI since the Star Fox team. Apparently, the programmers decided that the spotter is supposed to go ahead of the sniper and open fire the moment he comes within a hundred meters of a single enemy, and misses 9.99 times out of 10. Sure, you can switch between the sniper and the spotter, but then the idiot AI transfer to the sniper, where the process repeats. Unfortunately, I didn't learn of these points until after I bought and installed the games, which are being sold at Wal-Mart as a three-pack. Worst $10 I ever spent, hands down.
