[QUOTE]We're used to him firing insults at politicians and celebrities, but soon he'll be firing bullets at video game players. Writer, critic and television presenter Charlie Brooker is appearing in the World War Two simulation, Sniper Elite 3 as a German field officer accompanying Hitler.
In April, games developer Rebellion revealed that it had offered Brooker the chance to star in the latest Sniper Elite title after he praised the game series in his Guardian column. The star of Newswipe and Ten O'Clock Live was filmed in a motion capture studio so his physical movements could be placed in the game. His voice was also captured and it will be used in a series of radio recordings that players can discover throughout the story.
Unfortunately, for fans (and indeed non-fans) of Brooker, access to his appearance will be limited. Only those who pre-order the game before its 27 June release will get the bonus level in which he appears. It's likely however, that the content will be made available at a later date to all Sniper Elite 3 owners.[/QUOTE]

Wait in line :D
[QUOTE=JgcxCub;45217551]...Really[/QUOTE]
I already had it pre-ordered so it doesn't bother me.
Would have been cooler if it wasn't preorder only
Is sniper elite any good? it sounds so lame that they use shit like shooting hitler to promote it.
like seriously, why do I care that I get to shoot hitler? it means nothing to me.
The mere thought of it reminds me of some duck hunting game.
But it was done in SE2. Doesn't 3 take place in North Africa? Did Hitler even visit North Africa?

they are entertaining games for sire.
I got Sniper Elite 2 when it was free that one time, and I could barely finish the tutorial. The controls were just [I]the worst[/I]. Were I able to push past that, I'm sure I'd love the game, but oh man it was so bad.

this one is different as in there are decoy hitlers (and everytime you play the mission they change) so you have to figure out which one is the real Mister Hitler.

One of these Hitlers is not like the other, one of these Hitlers is mein Fuhrer!
How odd, have never heard of this dude before
I ordered it, will definitely play it for my channel. I hope it does not cause a paradox since I killed him already in the second game...

I've played the game through several times with several different people
Also played massive multiplayer games
The only problem I have is the sensitivity feels a little weird, but asides from that the controls handle perfectly fine.

you're crazy,I've played a sizable chunk of the game and it controls fine

It just felt like there was a delay between my doing things and those things happening; the sensitivity was impossible to fix because it was too high out of scope and too low in scope.
They were really my only issues, but they were so large that I couldn't continue.

He's done some pretty funny stuff;

I'll show myself out.[/QUOTE]
"Nazi that coming" is an awful pun because it can be applied to literally any context.

But he's a WWII German soldier so its relevant?
[QUOTE=usaokay;45219024]What other game requires you to shoot off Hitler's nuts?[/QUOTE]
Wolfenstein, only... it's Mecha-Hitler and his nuts are metal.

Can someone explain the context of this?

He's watching Deadliest Warrior.

He's probably just cheering the Nazis as a joke, I think this is his show were he just reviews the news and TV and riffs on it.
Eitherway this comes out tomorrow and I'm preloading as well speak. I am hype.

Okay, now that makes a little more sense.

Average day in the life of Charlie Brooker
So which would be a better title; killing Hitler or killing Charlie Booker?
