The difference being, this game is named "Sniper Elite", not, "Karl Fairburn".

I expect Max Payne in a Max Payne game, that's just common sense.

[RememberNoRussian]

In a James Bond game you expect James Bond.
In a Max Payne game you expect Max Payne.
In a Tomb Raider game you expect Lara Croft because Tomb Raider wouldn't be Tomb Raider without Lara Croft, the same goes with Sniper Elite with Karl Fairburn. If the protagonist wouldn't be Karl Fairburn, then people would complain for "where's Karl Fairburn?" Yeah, talking about common sense.

[GeneralGamePlaying]

"cat"
It's an elite special forces soldier. Not unthinkable in general, given priority air transport. The war lasted about 6 years...

Lol.

I didn't know his name until I saw in the forums.

Most people, not just gamers know who James Bond is, who Lara Croft is, and who Max Payne is....and, their names are literally in the title (name) of the games/movies, etc

The same can not be said about Karl Fairburn, and more importantly, the game is not named SE with Karl Fairburn, or Karl Fairburn SE, its named Sniper Elite.

So yeah, talk about common sense

Not only is Karl Fairburne a literal comic character, cast very much in the vien of the comic book heroes which I grew up reading. Rebellion, along with their other interests, are literally the comic book publisher who own the rights to many of those very comic books.

Just because you didn't know Karl's name until you read it in the forums, it doesn't mean that others haven't been paying attention or hadn't recognized the trope.

In addition, James Bond who has been with us since the 50's and not the 60's as you'd originally indicated, doesn't appear by name on any of the novels written by Ian Fleming.

I'm not bored of the series in the slightest and I hope Rebellion continue to roll it out as per their intention; rather than pandering to those who apparently care little for it.

Yet unlike the others listed, I've never heard if him, which was the point.

OK, so I got it wrong about James Bond being in the title...that does not change the fact that anyone that has heard of 007 knows its James Bond, and vice versa....it's also knitpicking and padantic to focus on such insignificant points.

Personally I don't care if the use the same guy.
Fact is, the other guy made a bad comparison with game characters starting at post #17, and that's what this is about.

The other part, separate from this, is people, myself included, getting bored with a game that quite frankly feels recycled.

Maybe you're easily entertained, but that does not mean the rest of us are. Some of us prefer a bit of variety and change, instead of the same old tired formula again and again.

As I said, based on what we know, this will be a "wait for a sale" game, whereas had zhey done something different, I more than likely would have got it on release, or even pre-ordered it.

[RememberNoRussian]

If you're not entertained of Sniper Elite's way, then don't play it. There are many games out there.

[Mr. No_Effs_Given]

More 20 games with Karl, pls.

[AROCK!!!]

That is an option, and an option I can live with.

This has become repetitive and pointless now, so I see no reason in continuing.

To those who like how it is, I hope you find joy with SE5...for the rest, either give it a try and hope for the best, or don't.

[RememberNoRussian]

If you won't continue to SE5, then why are you still here? Get lost.

To be fair to OP, I'd like to see the game move to a slightly more modern setting. I've already shot Hitler and his cronies in the balls hundreds of times by this point, and I'm not bored of it... But some more modern rifles and areas would be nice...

If youre not bored of Sniper Elite becoming regurgitated like Call of Duty then dont complain like you are right now and just eat it up.

[Buck Fiden]

the OP is correct . This game is not called "Karl Fairburne" . I am sick of this cliched character as well. Not thrilled about the France location. France looks like Italy, just with more a-holes.

he killed hitler like 4 times now ... there gose your logic

How do you know that? Is there a secret alpha or something like that?
