Except this sniper isn't English, he's Scottish. :P

Nonetheless, I'm excited to use him on the battlefield. :)

Coolest sniper in COH history. Borrowed some idea from C&C General Jarmen Kell though.

He doesn't make vehicles go abandoned though.

Other than that he's more like Jarmen O'Kell, son of famed pipe major Simon O'Kell

Anyone want to elaborate on what "Critical Shot" exactly does?

I think that the Critical Shot will only damage the engine. I can only imagine the passions it would stir if it did more than that. Destroying the tracks would be nice for me but not the opponent.

Hi, Nigo can you post all the info here on org because I can't visit their site as I have issues viewing it. I've tried re-intalling my browser but it don't work. Relic are going to do more blogs like this in the future so I would super appreciate it if you could post it here. ^_^

Shit rof and shit camo(apparently only one army can have 4 men squads and turbo sniper when fighting 4-6 men squads, for some reason it doesn't apply to allied counterpart).

His ability is nice though.
