Description
One shot. One kill. As a sniper in one of the world’s most deadly specialty infantry units, you’ll chase down a terrorist organization bent on nuclear armageddon for the West. Your mission: save the USA … and maybe even the planet.
CTU: Marine Sharpshooter, the first person action title from Jarhead Games, focuses on the combat sniper, one of the most legendary specialties in the infantry. You will be one of the elite marksmen, dealing death from afar. Along with your spotter buddy, you will participate in a series of covert missions that center on preventing the construction and launch of a nuclear missile.
The player/sniper will be accompanied at all times by the spotter, who acts as a radio link to headquarters, provides close fire support, and assists the sniper in finding his target. (If he dies, you lose) Quality voice-over dialogue draws the player through the plot where the player must chase a fictional terrorist organization around the world, from Afghanistan to Chechnya, and then on to a fortress on a small South Pacific island. Along the way you will encounter wheeled vehicles, helicopters, terrorist troops wielding assault rifles and RPG launchers, and even their own snipers …
Much of the combat will be through the sniper scope mounted on your special sniper weapon, from the massive .50 cal Barrett rifle to the advanced AW. When threats appear closer, there is always your trusty SOCOM .45 pistol (optional silencer) and the infamous K-Bar fighting knife.

Trivia
Actually, sharpshooter is NOT the top tier of shooters in the Marine Corp. The tiers for rifle are: marksman, sharpshooter, expert. However, clearly "Marine Rifle Expert" doesn't have the same verbal punch as "Marine Sharpshooter".
