Ah! Sniper Elite! Do i really have to say anything?

This game is super fun and its one of the best games ever made, in my book.
The gameplay is unique and really fun, May seem repetive but it's not.
The story is really good too, ww2 is a fun theme and this game does it well. The story is also pretty short so you can finish it in some hours.
The multiplayer is good too, many players (when I last checked) and alot of servers up. Its also really challenging and intense to play online.

I finished this game twice and I still feel like replaying it, (Will do that)

9/10 A great game that no one should miss!

Sniper Elite V2 did everything it could to make me hate it. It starts by showing you stealth, and how awesome it's bullet cam is, and teaches you how to play the game.

Then it follows it up with a second mission that is impossible to stealth. The only thing the game shows you up to that point is stealth so you think "This game is broken." and honestly, yeah it is. The stealth in this game is broken, it's not "non existant" it's just not possible to do in the second mission (and other missions). So I put down the game because screw it. It's not fun.

About a year later I returned to Sniper Elite V2, and said "Screw it, let's just beat the game, get some achievements and never play it again." I threw the game on "Cadet" and I decide to give it one last shot.

I'm glad I did. Sniper Elite V2 is a horrible stealth game. But it's a fun "sniping" game. You don't play this game like you would play the epic Call of Duty Modern Warfare Sniping level. You instead play it like you play the rest of the call of duty levels. Yes you can stealth many parts of the game, but it takes forever and often one misstep brings everything down on you and you'll restart. Instead the minute you misstep, say "Screw it" and go out gun blazing. In fact this game has a REALLY good sniper set up. The player has quite a few tools at his disposal, the Sniping is challenging but fun, the ai does remember where they saw the player last (Which means you can move and then snipe who ever comes looking) and there is a really good level design work here.

And the kill cam. Dear god, the kill cams are amazing. For a five year old game, watching a bullet penetrate an enemy from 100 miles away in a unique way every time is weirdly glorious. The bullet travels, the air manipulated around it until it penetrates (And yes penetrates is the right word) into a body, moving through vital organs until it exits. It's a glorious moment and while it's over done a bit, it's exciting at least 75 percent of the time, and probably closer to 100. It's just an absolute exciting experience especially when you pull off that 400 meter shot, or you successfully nail the perfect shot.

So does it make it a good game. Well that depends. It's not a great military shooter, but it is a VERY fun sniping game. I really prefer it on the easier difficulty, and the game feels broken once in a while, or unfair. But the game makes up for it in visuals, and that feeling when each mission's plan comes together. It COULD be better, and it's not perfect, but it's worth a play. I don't know if I'd pay the full 20 bucks for it, but for 10 bucks or less it's easily worth the money and time to play through it.

Pros
-The sniping mechanics are really good. The game takes into account bullet drop, wind, stance (whether you are crouching, laying down or standing), breath and motion.
-The game lets you tackle a level the way you want to. You are only given a waypoint and how you reach that waypoint is up to you.
-The levels are fairly open. Most levels have several big “arenas” connected by corridors.
-The A.I can be quite challenging...

Cons
-The A.I can also be very dumb at times. I saw a couple of times enemies just giving up and resuming their normal route right after they had spotted me or I had killed someone next to them
-Some minor bugs
-At times the enemy can spot you behind cover or behind boxes which can be frustrating when you have successfully sneaked past several enemies.

Neutral
-Rebellion has been updating the game with “advertising” for their other Sniper Elite games. Now at the start of the game there is a launcher that is just one advert for their newer game and when closing the game there is another advert that you have to manually quit.


I found Sniper Elite V2 to be quite an enjoyable experience. The gameplay is good and can accommodate any type of player (whether you run and gun, use stealth or anything in between), the story while not being anything remarkable is enjoyable and the mission structure is good enough to keep you playing. Sniper Elite is a fun game and an easy one to recommend.

i like :P

det är inget för mig men du kan prova

Det tog mindre än 8 timmar att varva sniper elit och då har jag även spelat om banor på svårare nivåer och kört co en gång. Väldigt kort spel. 11 banor och då räknar jag med introduktionsbanan som inte funkade som den skulle (det gick inte att placera en mina under en död soldat eftersom man inte kunde gå förän man lagt minan och sedan gick det inte att lyfta den igen). Kul spel men med ett par buggar och väldigt kort.

In my opinion this game really is underrated. It's a great sniper game. Probably one of the best currently available. It might be third person, but that doesn't take away the cool sniping feel. It's also the only game that has X-ray killcams. Looks so awesome. It also has great co-op. Really a game worth getting whenever it's on sale.

If you havent tried this one before you gonna love it, cant wait for Sniper Elite 3!!!

Great game. After 468 hours into this game, it's fun to play and outwit the enemy with mines, tripwires and more. KillCam is fantastic. The game runs smooth and plays well. I've enjoyed it time and time again. If you like Sniper Games, this is a good choice. Co-op is fun with friends and best played with comms. Multiplayer is also good. Play on dedicated servers, player based servers or, create your own server. Play with and/or, against your friends.

Actually, this is my 2nd review. :D

I would also like to add that, you can plan your attack/traps a dozen different ways in this game to take out the enemy and have fun doing it. Some times, it's funny to lure them into your traps by throwing rocks to get their attention. :D

Grymt sniper spel för alla som gillar att lira som sniper :)
