There is no victory here....trust me

This is a bad FPS, simply because it's just soooo outdated. It feels ported from the last gen xbox, and even with a big name publishr like Activision, using Unreal Tech, and having Microsoft affiliation, Hour of Victory has nothing to show.
The campaign has 10 missions that you beat in 2 hours if you want. You have the option of playing as either Ross, Bull, or Taggert on any mission. Each has their own strengths and skills which can open new paths in the level and make it seem like you can play 3 different campaigns.
Ross is a commando who has high strength and health. He can lift heavy objects in the maps that only he can access to get to new secrets and/or areas. Bull is a sniper with good breathing and a grapple hook to access high areas to snipe. Taggert is the spec ops stealth guy who is quiet and is equipped with a tactical knife and silenced weapon and can also pick locks. All these things like ropes, tunnels, wire, etc. are highlighted yellow in the map to indicate a special area for your guy.
But even though you may start with a sniper or silenced weapon, there are no places to fill ammo. So you lose those weapons in minutes, forcing you to pick up enemy junk guns. The graphics, gun play, and sound are absolutely awful. Enemy response and feel for the guns is also bottom of the barrel.
Hour of Victory used to have multiplayer, but there isn't a soul in the world who still plays, so you won't be able to find a game or unlock about 200G there. Otherwise it's a great game for achievement killers for an easy 500-700 points...if you can tolerate playing a pretty horrible shooter.
