The control scheme forces you to change your grip on your controller, in order to select a different weapon or even equipment like grenades. This is noticeable when you try to select your silenced pistol, only to scramble when you realize you just alerted every enemy in the vicinity because you accidentally used your SMG instead, and now you're pretty much screwed. They tend to flank as much as they can or at times choose to rush you, which any shooter fanatic would recommend you switch to your pistol, although cycling through weapons is not a smooth transition. If you choose to run, your footsteps echo loud enough for enemies to hear, but if crouched or prone, you can sneak past or flank them to execute a stealth kill by snapping their neck.Įnemies are fairly predictable, though. Stealth can also be used to your advantage. It’s not too difficult to master a perfect shot either and once you do, you’re rewarded with a slow motion animation of what a sniper bullet does to the human anatomy: parts bend, pieces of bone break, and all kinds of gruesome splurt. These details encourage you to pay attention to your surroundings and it does make the world of difference when sniping. You can also play on the hardest difficulty, which omits aim assist, but includes wind speed as another factor you must consider when aiming down your sights. The further you are from your target, the higher your aim must be.

If you are running across a plaza, then your breathing won’t be as steady as it would be if you were traveling at a slower pace. Your precision comes down to how long you can hold your breath depending on how much exertion you put forth moments before. Not for the run-and-gunners, Sniper Elite V2 emphasizes stealth and carefully timed shots. Yes, this is your chance to be almost like Vasily from Enemy at the Gates. You play as a US sniper in Berlin during the end of WWII and work your way towards discovering a German V2 rocket program, all while playing cat and mouse with enemy snipers.
