On most missions, you’ll have quite a lot of ammo for your sniper rifle, but you’ll often find yourself with significantly less ammo than for either of your sidearms. One of these sidearms is usually a light machine gun, and the other is a silenced pistol. Namely, you’ll have your trusty sniper rifle for long-range assassination and two sidearms for close-range encounters. To that end, you’re equipped with three time-period-accurate weapons on each mission. Of course, as a sniper, you’ll need to be well-equipped in terms of firepower if you want to stand a chance of killing your targets without getting gunned down yourself. You (somehow) have infinite rocks in your possession so you can create distractions essentially whenever you feel doing so is necessary. Your main way of doing this consists of throwing a rock at an object near the soldier(s) in question to temporarily draw their attention away from their posts. If you find yourself wishing an enemy soldier or two would just get out of your way so that you can proceed undetected, yet you believe killing them might compromise your position, you can always create a distraction. With that knowledge, you’ll likely have an easier time keeping track of such things as which troops might prove problematic for you as you go about your various objectives. Using your binoculars will allow you to keep track of the general locations of enemy troops. To aid you in the process of analyzing your surroundings, you’re equipped with binoculars. This means, among other things, that you want to see your enemies before they see you, assuming they see you at all. I’ll discuss most gameplay aspects in as much detail as I can. The question of how you go about accomplishing your missions leads me to begin the discussion of the various gameplay aspects of Sniper Elite V2. You’re subsequently dropped into a war-weary Berlin in order to begin tracking down and eliminating your targets. and use your legendary sniping prowess to eliminate those who would assist the Soviet Union. You must ensure the survival of any scientists who wish to defect to the U.S. However, some of these scientists have instead elected to aid the United States in a similar effort to halt the encroaching Red Army. During this point in history, the world’s superpower nations begin to transition from World War II to the Cold War.Īs such, certain Nazi scientists must be terminated before they can pass along their V2 rocket technology to the Soviet military. More specifically, the game takes place just before the end of the Second World War. Sniper Elite V2 takes place during a pivotal point in military history. sniper Karl Fairburne, reprises his role from the original Sniper Elite and finds himself confronted with several new missions and targets. As I often do, I’ll begin that discussion with the game’s plot. I think it’s high time I began discussing my thoughts on Sniper Elite V2. That’s quite enough evaluation of advice from a Team Fortress 2 character. Most of the time, however, I miss a crucial long-distance shot and suddenly find myself being gunned down instead. Some of the time, I manage to gun down enough enemies to clear a path to my objective or escape route. If that fails, I often just resign myself to my fate, which usually consists of either fighting my way out of my current location or dying in the process. Since I’m a rather terrible shot in games that revolve around sniping, my main plan is basically, “introduce bullet to head from such a distance that the bullet can’t be traced back to my location.” I also don’t typically come up with plans to kill everyone I meet. Instead, I just count myself fortunate that I have much more sniper rifle ammunition than I need to accomplish my objectives. In my opinion, the enemies I find myself assassinating in Sniper Elite V2 deserve no politeness.Īs far as the other two standards are concerned, I frequently find myself without the skill necessary to achieve efficiency. The aforementioned “professional’s standards” are as follows: “be polite, be efficient, and have a plan to kill everyone you meet.” Of course, I adhere to precisely none of those standards. More specifically, I’ve found that the “professional’s standards” according to Team Fortress 2’s sniper don’t really apply to my experiences with Sniper Elite V2 and, I’m sure, every other game in the Sniper Elite series. As far as I’m concerned, quotes from that particular video either apply perfectly to everything that has happened during my time with the game thus far or don’t apply at all. Over the course of my time with Rebellion’s Sniper Elite V2, I’ve found myself quoting Valve’s 2009 Team Fortress 2 video “Meet the Sniper” almost incessantly.
