Trying to aim with the sidearms is arguably more painful than what the kill cam victims experience – the recoil and spray on these weapons is dreadfully unwieldy. Obviously, the most fun is to be had with a sniper in hand, but the close-combat weapons of pistols and light machine guns aren’t proportionally satisfying to use. While each sniper rifle featured in Sniper Elite V2 feels weighty and packs significant stopping power, the same cannot be said for literally any other type of weapon. Seeing a bullet spiral towards an enemy in slow motion before eviscerating their innards is forever spectacular. You’ll hear the crunch of breaking bones and squelch of flesh exploding into a bloody mess – it’s equal parts horrific and mesmerising. Its frequency depends on your choice of settings, but a well-executed shot from afar will semi-regularly trigger a slow-motion cutscene of the bullet’s path to impact, prompting an X-ray view of your target’s anatomy getting ripped apart.
SNIPER ELITE V2 SWITCH SERIES
Boy, oh boy, if there’s one thing the Sniper Elite series does well, it’s the ridiculous kill animations. Once you’ve found the perfect vantage point, when you’ve lined up a clear shot, pulling the trigger is brutal. However, you can’t hold your breath if you’ve just sprinted and forced your heart rate to skyrocket, so a slow and methodical approach is required. Additionally, on lower difficulty settings, a red crosshair will appear on where your shot will land based on your current aim. These choices allow you to play the way you enjoy best, whether it be aiming straight for Nazi or Soviet scalps or needing to allow for natural physics, requiring you to aim above targets for bullets to hit their prey.īeyond the malleable settings, all good snipers need to know that a low resting heart rate is vital for precision – pressing “R” while scoped will hold your breath, steadying your aim and slowing down time to line up the killing shot. Fortunately, this one-trick pony performs its singular hook strongly.įor starters, Sniper Elite V2 offers a decent suite of custom difficulty settings to tweak enemy AI, and the realism of bullet trajectory. Every other time, you’ll be wondering why on earth you’re not sniping.Īlthough Sniper Elite V2’s main selling point goes without saying, much of your time during late-WWII is spent in a third-person perspective, where an unreliable stealth system guides you between sniping encounters. When played through the scope of a rifle, you’ll be thrilled by the tense moments before squeezing the trigger.
For a game about sniping, Sniper Elite V2 Remastered sure does include lots of dull, sniper-less action.
