Sniper Elite is a tactical shooter video game series developed by Rebellion Developments. It is a third-person tactical shooter that emphasises a less direct approach to combat, encouraging the player as a sniper to use stealth and keep distance from enemy soldiers.
Sniper Elite is a third-person shooter that involves stealth and first-person shooter game elements. Many of the single player levels allow multiple routes for the players to take in order to avoid direct firefights. Set in World War II, the player character, a German-American OSS operative named Karl Fairburne, utilises appropriate weapons for the era. The sniper rifle is the primary weapon throughout the game, though additional side arms (submachine guns and pistols) can be used depending on the situation. In addition to hand grenades, the player can also deploy tripwire booby traps, land mines and dynamite. The player can also shoot the enemies' own grenades to trigger an explosion. Binoculars are used to tag enemies in view, displaying their position and movements to the player. Different postures such as crouching or lying prone can steady a shot, and the player can take a deep breath to "focus" for increased accuracy. Realistic ballistics are optional, taking into consideration factors such as wind direction and strength and bullet drop, potentially altering the outcome of a shot even with the use of the scope. Introduced in Sniper Elite V2 is the "X-Ray Kill Cam", a feature where upon a successful and skilled shot will, in slow motion, follow the bullet from the rifle to the target's point of impact, showing an anatomically correct x-ray of the body part being hit and the damage the bullet causes to the organs and/or bones. In Sniper Elite III, stealth mechanics were reworked. An eye icon squints or opens to denote the player's level of detection by the enemy. Enemy soldiers will also have a circle meter over their heads to indicate alert status. Players are then forced to relocate periodically to prevent detection with a white ghost image to mark their last known position and the enemy will search a wider area.
Sniper Elite PC
This is a third-person, World War II-set shooter in which your primary weapon is a sniper rifle, but though stealth and long range is by and large the most efficient way to play, you are at all times free to bust out a machinegun or shotgun. It is surprisingly responsive to an all-out action playstyle, and does not seem particularly bothered about how you play.
The Free For All and No Cross modes are the highlights, with the former encouraging complete chaos as players snipe an enemy and, a second later, have three or more enemies sniping back at them. The latter forces players apart, making the cowardly SMG and pistol options mostly unusable. Instead, players have to lean on the titular sniper to prove how elite they are.
Both bandages and medkits can be found in supply crates and scattered at camps and around the mission area, but the former are much more common than the latter. If players of Sniper Elite 4, one of the better sniper games, play it safe, they will likely need to use these items less and less.
Sniper Elite 4 sees you take the wheel of Karl Fairburne's destiny during WW2, as a sniper on the Italian front, an unusually bright and frankly beautiful setting. The stunning Italian vistas might bring an entirely new look to Sniper Elite, but Fairburne's mission will conjure familiarity for anyone already up to speed with the series.
A gruff impersonator of Metal Gear's Solid Snake (in both voice and tactics), Fairburne is cast as a 1940s American superhero. From hundreds of yards, your careful and deliberate sniper aim will shatter a man's skull. Your close combat strikes will rupture enemy's internal organs, while snapping the spine of opponents is also possible given the right conditions. 2ff7e9595c
