    Default Sniper Elite V2

    I don't know how many of you played the original Sniper Elite from 2005, but its one of my favourite games ever. There will soon be a sequel to this called Sniper Elite V2. Amazon has it as a May release and After seeing THIS on Destructiod I am even more excited.


    Here are trailers:

    I loved the original. Hopefully they make this a proper sequel and not just the original with more gore and pretty graphics tacked on.
    The difference between pizza and your opinion is that I asked for pizza.

    As I understand it they are building on what the original did. But it has a new story.

    Sniper Elite was an awesome game. Still love that bullet cam on the long range shots. I remember it being the most realistic game at the time in terms of ballistic damage, V2 looks like it'll raise the bar on that.

    Bullet cam was awesome! I used to back into a corner as far back as poss and try get long range head shots. Good times! Although I finished Ghost Warrior it was so lame in comparison with the original!

    Jeesh, I'm embarrassed to say I've never even heard of it. Looks super cool - if its reasonably priced I'm keen.

    I never actually saw it in retail in SA, I got my copy for Original Xbox here in the UK. So I guess its possible that its slipped into obscurity due to it not really being a main stream game. Its anti-run and gun with huge focus on stealth and timing with simulator like bullet physics, bullet drop, wind, everything played a part.

    Strange, I would think with the appalling state of most modern shooters being what they are, you of all people would be able to appreciate Sniper Elites as being a thinking man shooter....

    you move around quite a bit. I recall there being an element of "run and gun"
