Hey, to anyone out there who has played this game, is it any good?
Commando's heavy sniper
The anti-material sniper rifle used by commando is not a SSG-3000, but a McMillan M87R. It was used by SEAL's since the 1987 and appear in every SOCOM's edition as a counterpart of the Barrett M82. http://members.shaw.ca/tmcveigh/Projects/GunRights/images/m87.jpg
