At present, there are only three maps for each non-campaign game mode. While V2’s co-op modes are pretty much all that, they aren’t quite a bag of chips too. I suppose Rebellion thought it might be too frustrating in a group setting.

Oh, and the highest difficulty, Sniper Elite, is strangely unavailable in campaign co-op. The host player can set the difficulty for each game type as well – a good thing since not everyone wants to deal with the extra variables that affect the sniping on higher difficulties.

The injured player even gets to shoot at oncoming foes with a pistol, just like in Splinter Cell: Conviction. In all modes but Overwatch, players can revive each other when downed. If the sniper doesn’t take out the incoming enemies while the spotter does his job, the latter will be killed and you’re forced to restart from either scratch or the most recent checkpoint. Both jobs are actually fun to play and necessary for success. The Spotter not only marks targets for his sniping buddy, he also has to perform tasks like recovering plans and planting bombs on targets. One player snipes while the other is only armed with machine gun, pistol, and binoculars.
#WII U SNIPER ELITE V2 REVIEW FULL#
Full campaign co-op is the main course on offer, with three additional co-op modes rounding out the package: With the Wii U version, you get controls that have been specially developed to make use of the functionality provided by the system's Gamepad.The joys of maiming unsuspecting Nazis would be reason alone for sniping aficionados to give Sniper Elite V2 a look, but 2-player online co-op really cements V2 as an outstanding game. With four gameplay modes and online capabilities, this is more than just a quick-fire gameplay session. these are all things to take into account when lining up your shot, and are simulated effectively in Sniper Elite V2. Gravity, wind, velocity, bullet penetration, aim stability. You’ll be faced with missions focusing on single targets that have more than one possible way of being eliminated - the choice being to line up a perfect shot that leaves you exposed, or taking a challenging route that will allow you to accomplish your objectives undetected. Set in the dying days of World War Two, you must navigate authentic locations in Berlin and take advantage of weapons such as the Springfield M1903, the Gewehr 43 and Mosin-Nagant 1891/30.

The silent predator of the battlefield finally gets a gaming spotlight in Sniper Elite V2, and a lot of effort has been made by Rebellion to deliver an experience that really immerses you in the life of a ground-crawling, one-hit-counts professional. This is where Sniper Elite V2 comes in.Ī clue to the game’s unique selling point is in the name - the focus is on pure, unadulterated sniping simulation. In their quest to capture war on a broad scale, many games can’t focus too much on a particular weapon or tactical role. From the sound direction - the pang of every bullet fired - to the weight and balance of each weapon in your virtual hands, there’s a constant strive for authenticity.

Developers of war-based shooters always try to simulate the very essence of military combat to the best of their ability.
