Corporal Jose Soto is Fireteam Bravo's Scout, a sniper who provides long range cover for the other members of the team -- Rifleman, Automatic Rifleman and Grenadier. The video shows him providing overwatch for his teammates and eliminating hostiles as he discusses what it means for him to be at war in Tajikistan. He says, "a sniper can make a good name for himself in Tajikistan. There are high value targets everywhere. But I'm not here for attention or accolades, I don't want to be seen or heard. I'm here to put some of my bullets into very specific places, mainly the vital organs of enemy combatants."

@RECON5two If only Codemasters could do a game like ArmA - but even in this video they admit they're aiming for 'cool'. Sadly cool seriously interferes with realism. I've just finished Dragon Rising, and feel so disappointed by it - how far they dropped the ball from ColdWarCrisis is incredible, perhaps this will bring it back up to hip level.

@patataton No i dont speak like a British person, or a Canadian or a Australian.
I understand your point that he might not be mexican but more likely then not he is, but he doesent even have a spanish accent.
I know mexican that immgrated to San Diego and were born in San Diego that still have accents.
He is likely mexican his name suggest so, but i have never heard anyone with a spanish name like Jose Soto that sounds like that or does not have an accent.

The over-simplification of a snipers role here is huge...

@RECON5two More less agreed. But you end up having to play medic for your squad most of the time, so I suppose that balances things somewhat.
