Slow progress is assured if you want to stay stealthy, as the crouch walk you'll be stuck in if you want avoid being heard means your effective combat speed is no better than a waddle. Using these binoculars a lot is key to staying unseen, as you creep through a variety of inventive locations, including dockyards, idyllic Italian villages and dense woodland. This sort of careful stealth is encouraged by the game's array of gadgets, consisting largely of mines but also including a pair of binoculars that let you mark targets and see what they're carrying. This cat and mouse play is engaging, and means something as simple as taking out a four-man patrol can quickly turn into stalking your targets over the course of ten minutes. If you want to make it work, you'll need to shoot and move, or mask your rounds with environmental noise to get away scot-free.

Fire several rounds from the same spot and your foes will suppress the position, call in artillery on your nest or just charge up there with a lot of guns. One of the finest touches is the way enemies will triangulate your sniper position as you fire from it. Top, left, clockwise: One well-placed shot can bring down this entire bridge, sniping is one option, but often players will have to get closer to the action, there are also nut shots, slow motion exploding of a Nazi jaw and the kill cam traces the bullet's trajectory before it makes its bloody impact

Purists will quickly learn to land shots at range and admire the system and indeed, players that want the extra difficulty of the full sniping system without the rest of the trappings of playing on hard-mode – or vice-versa – can tweak the difficulty using the custom difficulty options too.Īnother feather in Sniper Elite's cap is its AI, which is dumb enough to let you walk in and plant a satchel charge on whatever patrolling troops are guarding, but smart enough to flank you and keep you under fire when they work out where you're firing from. Simply line up your crosshair so the diamond goes red and your target is dead. These factors combine to make gunfights interesting at 10 metres or 1000, and although you'll often tangle with foes between 100-200 metres, the game will occasionally put you in a perfect sniper's nest and scatter a few guards knowingly in front of you.Īccurate shooting takes practice, but on lower difficulties the accurate ballistics are toned down to be more forgiving and there's a generous aim assist, letting you empty your lung for a steadier shot, with a tiny diamond telling you where your shot will land. This is largely down to the strong system underpinning the ballistics in Sniper Elite 4 that factor in things like wind, bullet drop and biology factoring into your shot. There are many deft touches in Sniper Elite 4, but as the title suggests, this is a game about shooting people from distance, so a lot of the game's success as entertainment is going to hinge on how well it manages to convey the experience of being an elite sniper. This isn't a sniper simulation game, you won't be wetting yourself as you lay in position for hours on end waiting for one perfect shot, but it is a game where (if you've pre-ordered) you can remove Adolf Hitler's remaining testicle.

This is what Rebellion are selling with Sniper Elite 4 – the ability to become a Hollywood-era commando, and turn the tide of World War 2 with a hail of bullets. This firefight and its steady escalation, from quiet melee takedowns and silenced headshots to the cinematic unloading of an FM24 light machine gun at scattering reinforcements, is emblematic of Sniper Elite 4. In a mission to assassinate a Nazi officer tucked away in a mountaintop monastery, I, as elite US sniper Fairburne, managed to kill 115 people, most during a 20-minute long shootout in the ruins of an old castle. Karl Fairburne is a godless killing machine. Where To Buy Amazon / ShopTo / Tesco / Argos / Zavvi / Game
