Even still, it's quite possible to 'no scope' charging enemies in the heat of the moment, on lower difficulties at least.
Holding your breath further steadies your aim and zooms the camera in a bit closer than otherwise. If you've recently been running, for instance, you'll need to let your heart rate slow down before firing. Suitable noises like passing trains, aerial bombings, and the like are indicated by a speaker icon at the corner of the screen.Ī number of factors affect the sniping experience beyond the rifle itself. It might be smarter to wait for a loud noise to cover the sound of your weapon. Whether or not you tag a foe, firing the sniper rifle generally draws the attention of nearby soldiers. In co-op, your partner can also see the tags, so it’s a great way to help the other guy out. By switching to binoculars, you can tag enemies and easily track their movements. Once you’re in a prime sniping position, you may want to scope out the area below. Alternatively, toss a rock and the soldiers will run off to investigate, allowing you to sneak by with minimal fuss. Or booby trap the body with a landmine to kill anyone who investigates it. If you’re really playing it safe, you can then move the body to a less conspicuous location. Sneak up behind someone and press the action button to snap his neck like a Slim Jim. The latter two positions don’t make noise, so you’ll want to use them judiciously to avoid enemy notice. Pressing the B button (on Xbox 360) toggles between standing, crouching, or going prone. In that respect, V2’s stealth elements feel a lot like Splinter Cell’s. It goes without saying that snipers do a lot of sneaking and climbing around between shooting targets. Along the way, you’ll relieve countless Nazis from the unbearable lightness of being (it’s a mercy).īefore we get to the killing, let’s talk about navigation. Mission objectives include tasks like eliminating important Nazi targets or sabotaging their bases and resources. That’s not such a bad thing, because V2’s gameplay proves quite compelling. The new protagonist’s overly-gruff mission briefing narrations are mostly just an excuse to get players out into war-torn streets so they can start sniping. Story plays a much smaller role in V2 than its predecessor, though. Hence Sniper Elite V2’s more historically accurate premise: an American sniper (or snipers in co-op) must rescue the German scientists responsible for the V-2 missile program for the Allies before they fall into Russian hands. In reality, Germany didn’t succeed in developing an atomic bomb prior to the war’s end.
Gone is the original story of an American sniper posing as a German soldier in an attempt to stop the Soviets from acquiring the Nazis’ atomic bomb plans. Sniper Elite V2 is a reimagining of the first game, taking place during the same period of time: the final days of World War II.
#Sniper elite v2 review Pc
The original Sniper Elite came to last-gen consoles and PC way back in 2005, so you could be forgiven for not remembering it ( Steam and GOG can help!). That’s precidely why I love Rebellion’s Sniper Elite V2. The difference? Sniping in a non-competitive setting puts players under way less pressure and thus becomes far more enjoyable for novices like me. And yet I had plenty of fun picking off AI enemies as Mordecai the sniper in Borderlands.
Meanwhile, my superhuman, teenage opponents have no problem headshotting me from afar. I just can’t react as quickly or aim straight enough to pick off other players with a high degree of accuracy. I’ve never enjoyed snip ing or snip ers in competitive first-person shooters.
