“The pairing of Activision and Cabela’s continues to result in the best hunting games on the market and this year’s  Big Game Hunter  is no exception,” said Jordan Mauer, Senior Director of Marketing, Activision Publishing.  “Featuring upgradeable gear, game-changing freedom of movement and realistic animal behavior,  Cabela’s Big Gamer Hunter 2012  is a great addition to any gamer’s library.” 

Players can climb an area to get a better angle for the shot but risk being spotted, or they can take a low elevation route with poor visibility but plenty of concealment. Nature doesn’t always wait for you to make the first move as the dynamic weather and natural hazards make the hunt even more challenging.  The challenge doesn’t end there.  Cabela’s Big Game Hunter 2012 ups the ante with the most realistic animals ever seen in the Cabela’s series. Every animal’s unique movement gives clues on what the animal will do next. In order to bag the trophies, players will have to avoid detection through cunning, skill, and deception. They must also utilize master hunting skills such as advanced stalking techniques so they can quickly move through cover and close in on their targets.

A hunter is nothing without his firearm, which is why  Cabela’s Big Game Hunter 2012 offers up the coolest hunting rifles and shotguns available. Players will always have the right gear and they can purchase upgrades, producing visible strengths and weaknesses depending on the situation. Having the best equipment is only part of the equation as players will have to be the best. Advanced shooting techniques such as accounting for wind direction and bullet drop are critical to making the perfect shot.

With new multiplayer modes, gamers can enjoy playing with friends and family! Up to four people can take turns, work together or challenge each other in different arcade shooting galleries. With new modes such as Reflex and Target Shooting,  Cabela’s Big Game Hunter 2012 has enough fun to keep players hunting with friends for a long time!

Cabela’s Big Game Hunter 2012 will be bundled with the innovative Top Shot Elite hunting peripheral and can also be purchased separately.
