Completed the fourth chapter yesterday and called it a day. The second chapter took me an hour and 3 minutes, the third one took me 48 minutes and the fourth chapter took me 58 minutes for completion. This game is way too easy than I thought, going by the comments here! I reckon there are other tactical shooters out there that are far more challenging and rewarding.

I also happened to turn down the frequency of the kill-cams to minimum - they started becoming repetitive and boring quickly! The AI acts really stupid at times - there was this stage wherein the player is supposed to climb over a pile of rubble towards a cutout in building and head to a vantage point. A bunch of guards were in charge of the security and they would never peep over the cutout! The player could easily take them out one by one.

There's also plenty of the MP40 ammo to be salvaged from the dead Nazis. Ofc you cannot expect them to stock the ammo for the Thompson! I swapped to the MP40 from the second chapter and although this gun was used in close combat situations, I never ran out of ammo. Also changed the sniper rifle to another one with a larger zoom from the loadout menu. The loadout menu remains largely invisible during the loading sequence so watchout for that.
 
Yes the game's pretty easy, even when i go blazing with the sniper, almost easy pickings in normal difficulty.
Playing in stealth is sometimes pointless, you will never know when the AI will spot you even with their heads turned away.
But still its a good game! And I love me some WWI/II setting :D

Yup, I dont have much experience in stealth games, yet did not find this game overwhelming from any angle, like Gannu simply take the MP40s from the dead nazis and you are good to go, although the sniping bit fun, kill cam really does get repetitive. The AI is not the sharpest either, despite the quirks, definitely fun and must try game.

I am not seeing the chapter concept, @Gannu is chapter 4 blowing up the bridge?

Yes i already have mentioned the game is not that challenging.But kill cams will get boring only if you execute same shots repetitively.Instead of head shots try other challenging shots.Example try hitting a moving enemy.Try to hit an explosive to take out multiple targets.Dont hold your breath for accuracy.Instead go for a direct hit and test your aim.Then it really spices things up.(sorry if you have already done these things).Then the kills become really satisfying.

Aye captain, done all of those, I barely use the 'focus' anymore, instead do all the above mentioned stuff, but still the game gets repetitive. Another example of the dumb AI, is in the 'Blowing up the bridge' mission, is once you collect the munition, and head to the bridge, there is a point, where you are above 5 guards, and I peeped down, absolutely no action, they continued their drill, I just chucked a grenade, and got 5 in 1 combo!

Like I said, still fun though, its not as bad as I make it to be, a mediocre game in terms of gameplay with decent graphics.

Yep! Blowing up the bridge it is. I suppose there are 10 chapters in total.

Growing tired of sniping after holding the breath, I decided to do it without that instead. It is pretty simple - just raise the scope a bit and fire. Heck, even blowing up tanks were simple!
 
hmm....maybe because you guys are playing continuously..:D i started the game days back but still is at the end of chapter 4.:D
 
Probably, I finished 4 chapters in about 3 plus hours. The surroundings haven't been much different in 3 out of 4 chapters, so just a bit monotonous.

Print Screen works! For a change. :P

I wasn't expecting it TBH. So decided to try my luck and it worked!
