Sniper Elite V2 Remastered includes the multiplayer aspects from the original release. The bullet deformity caused by said skull is incredibly accurate. As you watch the video, pay attention to the minute details like the bullet as it exits a skull. We had so much fun with it that we compiled over 5 minutes worth of x-ray death and destruction for you. The original game might be 7 years old, but the sniping is still some of the best around, with an x-ray death cam that no other game can match. The sniping for this game, on the harder difficulties with real world ballistics enabled, is some of the best to be had. Once in your perch, the enemy are very apt at locating you by sound, and with no silenced rifles to be had, this means you’ll have to use noise to cover your shots or risk being shot yourself. Ammo is also hard to come by, but you can scavenge those corpses for extra ammo and other useful items like grenades and mines. You also have access to a few sub-machine guns and a tommygun, but if it comes down to machine gun combat, you probably aren’t doing a very good job as a sniper. Leaving bodies lying around will make folks nervous for some reason, so picking up the corpses and moving them out of sight is generally a good idea. You’ll generally have to sneak to a location to find a good sniping perch, and you do have access to a single shot silenced pistol to aid you in this. Gameplay consists of third person action, with quite a bit of stealth required for those playing on the harder difficulties. In war, things aren’t always black and white. He may not be technically at war with the Russians, but if they find him, they’ll kill him just the same. Fairburne is tasked with assassinating several of these scientists to keep them from falling into Russian hands, and as he searches for his targets, he uncovers a ruthless plan that would kill thousands more people in an already war ravaged London.įairburne is tasked with assassinating several of these scientists to keep them from falling into Russian hands, and as he searches for his targets, he uncovers a ruthless plan that would kill thousands more people in an already war ravaged London.

WWII Is Ending but the Cold War is Just Beginning Sniper Elite V2 follows Lieutenant Karl Fairburne, an OSS officer who is inserted into Germany near the end of WWII. It is a reboot of developer Rebellion’s original entry into the series, Sniper Elite, previous released in 2005. We have been sniping around Germany with the remastered version for over a week, and the question is, “Can the game stand up to this generation of gaming?”įor those that never played Sniper Elite V2 from the previous generation of consoles and PCs, you missed out on a fun and gory game. Developer Rebellion first released Sniper Elite V2 around 7 years ago for the last generation of consoles and the PC.
