Sniper Elite for $2 on Steam

<< < (4/5) > >>

Jabberwock:
The game is simply awesome.

When you are done with the single player campaign (which is fun in itself), make sure you try multiplayer...

This game has a very dedicated community, considering it is a bit on the budget side and has not been updated by devs in any way. People are thinking creatively about adding more fun and challenge to the game, e.g. the "no cross" mode, when you cannot cross a player-agreed line (e.g. a river) and you have to lie in wait to snipe the opponents from afar.

This is one of my favorite Sniping games of all time.  I own it for the Playstation 2 and it's the first true sniping game I have ever played.

Snipers are stealthy, take their time, time their shots, recon the situation ahead of time.  You do a lot of slow crawling in this game to get into a good position, you mask your shot with the bombing in the backdrop of the battle.  You try to take out targets in a way where they will not alert others of your presence, so you must pay attention to who is facing who and what patterns they patrol.

It's a fantastic game for those who enjoy the true essence of sniping.  If you think this is like Moder Warfare 2 or Bad Company 2, you will be frustrated.  Instead of a kill every 20 seconds, think of a kill ever 20 to 30 minutes.  But you had to EARN that kill by crawling your way into position, checking your surrounding, finding the enemy and understanding their locations.

Great game.  Wish they would make Sniper Elite 2 with today's graphics.

Sniper Elite... now with less DRM... on GoG.com.

It's 9.99, but has no DRM.  If I didn't already have it on Steam (and for $2.50 natch), I would snap it up.

After reading this thread I have revisitied the single player campaign... This is fun! I have forgotten how clever the AI enemies appear (even if they really are not).

I've tried to do a covert kill, but did succeed - the Russians got aware of me... Two tried to flank me while the third was busy rescuing his comrade... Fun, fun, fun!

Of course, the fact that I've played multiplayer for several years did not hurt either - most of my kills are long range headshots :)

Sniper Elite also has some pretty detailed hitboxes, you can detonate grenades on your opponents belts.

I did this by accident on the first level. :D
