The mission is accomplished as soon as you leave the Church.
So you work your way through the ruins in the vicinity, bypass or kill enemy soldiers and a tank, march into the church, grab the sniper rifle, then repel a German attack and put your legs in hand. An example of this would be a church tower in which new equipment has landed for you. You have to go to a certain destination, mostly past enemy resistance, then complete your task and disappear again. The game’s campaign comprises eleven missions, and at least in the main, their sequence is relatively identical. And that consists of snipers, snipers and snipers again – garnished with sneaking and inconspicuous action in between. The gameplay is clearly in the foreground in Sniper Elite V2. The story is mostly okay, but is not presented too excessively now – just with one or the other small cutscene. Your goal: to get five important people involved in the German V2 program out of the way before they fall into the hands of the Russians, who they can then use for their own purposes. You play an Allied sniper in World War II and hang out in and around Berlin. In Rebellions Sniper Elite V2, at least in the campaign, I don’t have to deal with other human snipers, but can concentrate completely on finding the perfect position and the right moment. On the other hand, I can be wonderfully upset if I get caught – which of course is especially true for multiplayer titles like Battlefield and Co. On the one hand, I like to lie in wait to give opponents a bullet from a safe distance. You want to spend as much time undetected as possible to avoid dealing with reinforcements.I associate snipers with a kind of love-hate relationship in games. If the body is discovered, it will alert the enemy that someone is in the area. If you shoot an enemy near you, hide the body. Use landmines and other traps to protect yourself. Fortunately, you have other weapons in your arsenal that can help you deal with this. Enemies will be able to overpower you (and outnumber you), so you want to avoid close-range combat as much as possible. Since you’re a sniper, it is in your best interest to attack from range, as well. Keep a lookout for them and watch for the white flash that warns you a sniper is about to fire.
High vantage points can be spots where enemy snipers are waiting. Use your binoculars to check for nearby enemies, especially other snipers.
In addition to crouching and sneaking, you will also want to check out a location before you move into it. You can also use other noise to your advantage-a noise icon in the corner of the screen will alert you when there is loud noise that can mask your own sounds, including gunshots.Īlways move with caution.
This is important, because noise will attract enemies to your location. Therefore, instead of standing or running, crouch and remain stealthy whenever you can.Ĭrouching will also make you quieter when you move. Crouching will make it harder for enemies to detect you, and it will also improve your aim and allow for stealth attacks. Some enemies can easily take you out, so you want to go undetected as often as possible. On a similar note, stealth will be the key to your success. You don’t always have to face your enemies head-on-finding a good sniping spot can give you the advantage of surprise. Not only can you find collectibles this way, but it might also give you an edge in combat. Take some time to explore the levels when you start a mission.
