Sniper Elite V2 does include a multiplayer mode, but at the time of review, the multiplayer lobbies were either not active or not live. One time I managed to hit someone directly in the eye socket severing their eyeball completely. My main goal when playing Sniper Elite V2 was to see how cool of a kill I could get whenever I was tasked with sniping someone. One highlight in the game however is the unique x-ray kill cam which is akin to the x-ray gory deaths found in the Mortal Kombat series. Some missions took me almost an hour to complete with the amount of times I died and just the slower pace at which you move around. Thankfully, autosave points happen frequently enough, typically after larger set pieces of after an enemy wave is taken out. Each mission length can vary and depending on your skillset you may die a lot along the way. Sniper Elite V2s has ten main missions and a DLC extra mission Assassinate the Fuhrer included in the remastered version. Sniper Elite V2 does let you target grenades which when struck can explode and kill groups of soldiers if they are standing together. Multi-kills can happen if you get lucky enough to strike two soldiers with one bullet. You get points based off of the distance and spectacle of the shot, and double or triple points if you manage to get a multi-kill. These shots show your long distance sniping coursing through an enemies body, shattering bones, combusting organs, and shredding out the backside. This game is by far more tactical in nature than your run and gun shooters like Call of Duty or Battlefield.Īlong with tactically setting up your shot, there is the game’s slow motion x-ray kill cam. The games focus on choosing your mark and the best time to shoot is one of its strongest assets. Some missions throw in vehicle tanks and trucks that you will need to negotiate with, and by negotiate I mean attach a bomb to the front and blow it up.Īs you slink your way through the city streets you can choose to be stealthy and get behind your enemies and get a silent kill or mark targets with your binoculars and track their position. Sniper Elite V2 Remaster is a by the numbers shooter game in which you are tasked with an overall mission objective, either taking out targets or blowing things to smithereens and during gameplay, you will encounter the Nazi and Soviet first line of defense, the easy to pick off foot soldiers, and the more adept enemy snipers. Your missions are carried out in a mostly linear fashion, though the way in which you decide to engage with the enemy is entirely up to you. Along the way, you learn of the V-2 rocket program and the locations of other scientists.įrom there you work to locate the remaining scientist and eliminate them, on such mission has you infiltrating a tower during a bombing run where the timing of your kills needs to correspond with the bombs exploding so you do not give away your position. Shortly thereafter, you’re given a mission to eliminate a Nazi scientist being led out of the city in a convoy. One mission has you going to Berlin to assassinate Major-General Hans von Eisenberg before he attempts to defect to the Soviets. The game references Operation Paperclip and Operation Overcast, as its source material and has you going up against both Soviet and Nazi forces as you attempt to sabotage the development of the V-2 ballistic missile. Along the way, you will infiltrate Nazi German compounds en route to displace enemy soldiers, destroy facilities, and take out high profile members of the Nazi regime. You play, mainly, as Lieutenant Karl Fairburne, an American OSS officer who is a very skilled sniper trekking through Berlin in 1945. Now seven years later the game is getting a remastered edition which is coming to all current generation systems, including the Nintendo Switch. Originally a 2012 PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii U release game from Rebellion Interact, Sniper Elite V2 a third-person tactical WW2 shooter, was moderately received at launch.
