Wall-running and thrust jumps make it the most mobile campaign in the series, and the four-player co-op campaign is a genuine structural change. Zombies is at its most elaborate here. The story is close to incomprehensible, the campaign is the weakest part of the package, and the PC version's supply-drop economy drew heavy criticism.

The 2005 original that started the series: a lone OSS sniper in the ruins of Berlin, built around bullet drop, wind and breath control at a time when few shooters modelled any of it. The ballistics still hold up. Everything around them does not — movement is famously slippery and frame-rate dependent, the controls are unmapped and awkward, and the tutorials interrupt constantly.
Released 5 years after TimeSplitters.
