You can do your best to hide, leaving behind a silhouette to indicate the location where you were last seen. Once you’re forced into engaging patrolling enemies in close quarters, the game becomes unstuck.

It was this situation, among others, that taught me that Sniper Elite V2 Remastered’s gameplay experience is best kept at a distance, as your secondary weapons – submachine guns and pistols – were rarely adequate enough to save me from. You can hurl rocks to distract enemy soldiers or use your binoculars to tag targets, but, make one wrong move, and your mission can soon descend into a chaotic firefight.Īfter artillery bombardments masked my fire as I carefully eliminated soldiers along a whole street, I turned the corner only for two enemy snipers to spot me resulting in more soldiers rushing my position. That will see you set out to complete objectives such as assassinating a target carrying documents that will lead you to the V2 production facility, covertly blowing a bridge to smithereens to prevent Russian tanks from advancing, or saving a German scientist from a horrid execution.Īpproaching missions stealthily will ease the progress that you make towards your objective, but, given the linearity of the level design, there’s only so much freedom that they can allow. You play as US sniper Karl Fairburne, who, parachuted into Berlin as the horrors of World War II near their close, has been tasked with stopping the besieging Red Army from obtaining the Nazi’s V2 rocket program technology. It’s in these tense moments that Rebellion’s sniping experience never wavers in delivering a thrill, especially once you become so caught up in what you’re doing that you start to curse at the screen whenever your bullet sails past its intended victim rather than resulting in your perspective shifting to the gruesome slow-motion bullet cam. After stalking your target and placing trip mines to fortify your position, you carefully wait until your rifle fire is masked by a loud sound before squeezing the trigger to unleash a skull-puncturing shot that seals their gory demise. Sniper Elite V2 Remastered’s greatest moments come as a reward for your patience.

Sniper Elite V2 Remastered is set to release for PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch sometime in 2019.

SNIPER ELITE V2 REMASTERED SWITCH PORTABLE
While the Nintendo Switch version of Sniper Elite V2 Remastered will be the only portable version of the game, those interested will have to consider if they are okay with smaller multiplayer matches and less impressive graphical enhancements. Another feature touted alongside the announcement of this remaster is “expanded online multiplayer for up to 16 combatants.” That being said, DualShockers noticed that this mode had the same disclaimer as the 4K and HDR visuals, so we reached out and asked Rebellion what shape multiplayer would take with Sniper Elite V2 Remastered for Nintendo Switch.Ī PR representative for Rebellion told DualShockers that in terms of multiplayer “Switch is 4 players local wireless and 8 players online.” That local wireless play is definitely a feature unique to Switch that will benefit from the system’s portability, though the significantly lowered player count is noticeable. Fortunately, features like photo mode, a new playable character, and including all of the DLC ever released are ubiquitous across all platforms.
