You also have to account for gravity and wind and at other times environmental noise which will help you stay hidden. When you aim down the scope of your rifle you have to keep in mind things such as your heart rate and breathing which affect the stability of your aim. The sniping in this game absolutely delivers with a visceral feel and, often times, a sense of urgency and precision no other shooter will really put forth. Of course, Sniper Elite wouldn't have much sniping without sniper rifles, which are the main form of combat in the game. I honestly wished there was a little more variety to the structure of each stage. Also, the layout of each level seems a little too contrived. This isn't without its faults, as you can't conveniently take out targets from cover without exposing yourself to the enemy line of sight. This game does not reward goose stepping out in the open.
However, don't be mistaken running and gunning will surely get you killed. You can sneak from cover to cover and stealthily eliminate enemies, set trip wires or landmines, or whip out a submachine gun for some righteous close quarters fury.
While the sneaking in Sniper Elite isn't the best in gaming, it is competent enough to allow you to scout targets with your binoculars and take them out in several ways. He's here to deal them a swift death from a quarter mile away. Don't think officer Fairburne is here to take his targets out for some weinershnitzel either. Each level of Sniper Elite V2 tasks you to sneak through battle torn Germany, picking enemies off one by one and eventually reaching a vantage point where you can take out your primary target. This isn't your normal WWII shooter, you won't find yourself mowing down the masses as a lone super soldier. As OSS Officer Karl Fairburne, you're inserted deep into enemy lines to prevent the capture of defecting Nazi scientists. The only people that don't like headshots are Nazis. The headshot is quite possibly the most satisfying thing in modern gaming. Your girlfriend likes headshots, your grandma likes headshots, your neighbors like headshots. The smarter-than-usual plot about capturing V2 scientists as part of the real-life US Operation Paperclip also helps the game to rise above the sum of its parts.We all like headshots.
Creeping through the blasted streets of 1945 Berlin, locating the ideal sniper's nest and booby-trapping its perimeter before settling in to await the perfect shot is a captivating trial-and-error experience. The considered pace holds an intensity rarely found in a marketplace obsessed with the frenetic.

Also, if the latest series entry feels like it hasn't moved on in ways it should have since the original was released in 2005, it is worth noting that the strengths of that first title have been retained – and perhaps even improved upon. Yet it's a strange but undeniable pleasure to be battling jackbooted fascism in a big mainstream game again and one that makes overlooking these flaws a simpler task than expected. It would be nice to suppose that it's largely because of this that Sniper Elite V2 feels like a throwback, rather than the distractingly weary visuals and level design. I t's been five or six years since several significant games franchises abandoned their biannual restaging of the second world war in favour of depicting more modern warfare.
