Should the sniper’s aim be true, the game’s defining KillCam feature triggers, showing a bullet’s journey from muzzle to target. Once the trigger is pulled, there is no turning back. The faster your heart beats, the more difficult it is to focus on a target in times like this, you need to exhale and expel the air from your lungs this calming action helping to steady your aim before you take that deadly first shot.

When targetting, the player needs to think about the distance and enivonmental factors before pulling the trigger, plus in the bottom-left side of the screen the player is given a heartbeat reading in beats per minute (bpm). From here it is apparent that sniping in this game takes a different approach. Once the targets had been identified and the plan of attack had been decided, it was time to “Go loud” as Steve exclaimed, switching to the sniper rifle, a typical scope view appeared. There is then the issue of protecting your vantage point, which is where landmines and tripmines come into play, these defences are suitable for placement in doorways and corridors, acting as an early warning alarm, should an unnoticed enemy try sneak up from behind. While inspecting the area, an enemy sniper was spotted from their own vantage point, it was highlighted that there are situations where the player will need to decide what targets need to be taken out first: Do you take out the closest enemy that is likely to notice you are there and raise the alarm, or do you dispatch the sniper that is just waiting for you to make a mistake. Enemy soldiers can also be tagged with a marker, to make it easier to keep track of enemy movements. This enables the player to take a closer look at enemies for further information such as rank, weaponry and their distance away from them. Upon reaching a suitable vantage point, it is possible to use a pair of standard issue binoculars to survey the environment. Right from the start of the mission, Steve demonstrated one of the game’s more low-tech items a rock that can be picked up and thrown to distract and lure enemy soldiers, while he sneaked past them, undetected. Gameplay is in the third person, with an emphasis on stealth players can walk while crouched, to move around without being detected. Beginning with the second level, he strolled through the decimated streets of Berlin, to assassinate a Nazi scientist and retrieve some V-2 intel from his corpse. Sniper Elite V2’s Senior Producer, Steve Hart walked us through sections of two of the game’s eleven missions. Fairburne has been tasked with ensuring that the Allies obtain the V-2 technology, while keeping it out of the hands of the Russians by assassinating V-2 scientists who intend to defect to the Russians, or rescuing scientists that can be turned to the side of the Allies. Secretly, the Germans have been developing the V-2 rocket the first long-range combat-ballistic missile ever created. The Nazis are practically making a last stand, as forces from both the Allied Nations and Russia begin to roll into Berlin. Returning as Karl Fairburne, the player finds themselves in Germany near the end of the war. A console generation later, V2 brings back these ideas to create a more cerebal combat experience. The concept of becoming an Allied sniper in World War II, with stealth and environmental awareness serving as more effective weapons than standard firearms, is one that set it apart from the many other World War II-themed games available at the time.

Veteran British developers Rebellion took an interesting approach to war with the release of the original Sniper Elite in 2005 for Xbox, PC (and later, Wii). It just so happens that the previous sentence could be used to accurately describe Sniper Elite V2. Sometimes it takes patience and proper planning to win a war choosing your targets selectively and thinking of the bigger picture before a shot is fired. I would imagine that transferring the playstyles of these games to a real-world warzone would at best, end in injury at worst, death.
For all of today’s military shooters that preach of realism and promise accurate representations of warzones past, present, future, fictional and non-fictional the Call of Dutys, Battlefields and Medal of Honors of this world do little to show the player that war is not always about gung-ho heroes and run-and-gun tactics.
