There are occasional weird glitches, and the frame rate in the Xbox One version can sink to appalling lows. Close combat encounters are laughably inept, and the AI will leave you smirking too. Personally, if I was a guard investigating a guard tower and I found a corpse draped over the side wall, I might not stand there, chill out, take in the scenery and wait calmly for someone to knife me from behind. Sniper Elite 3 is full of that kind of thing.
