Also, there are some Soviets around who will probably shoot me too, better be sneaky.” The narrative of the game is almost exclusively doled out during mission briefings and, even then, it often amounts to “Ah, this is a real bad Nazi that I’m trying to kill here.
SNIPER ELITE V2 WINE BOTTLES SERIES
Smuggled into Berlin in the final days of World War II, you’re tasked with assassinating an increasingly vague series of Nazis in an attempt to stop the dramatically bad sounding V-2 rockets. Here’s the scene: You’re Lieutenant Kurt Fairburne, good old American boy and skilled sharpshooter. The budget in these games shows, but developer Rebellion knew that to get any kind of attention alongside the likes of Call of Duty and Battlefront, Sniper Elite V2 would have to put all its eggs in one particular basket. The series’ ability to continue pumping out sequels ( V2 Remastered is the first of more planned for 2019) in the face of middling reception says that someone, somewhere, is looking past the failings and finding the gold. This is what makes the Sniper Elite series so interesting. Generally speaking, you’ve got a cult hit on your hands if you’re doing one thing very well, regardless of the rough edges in other areas. Sniper Elite’s obsession with – and dedication to – the sneaky sharpshooter fantasy has earned it a place in a dedicated audience of WWII-philes and shooter fans. Failing to remind someone of the series? Easy! Simply say, “slow-motion x-ray headshots” and you’ll probably jog their memory. If the developers of the Sniper Elite series can be commended for anything in particular, it’s locking in on the art of doing one thing well. But does this little-remembered jaunt through the Battle of Berlin shoot true?
Sniper Elite V2 Remastered serves as a time machine back to the quaint old days of 2012, when smacking down Nazis was generally considered A-OK.
