Sniper Elite 2
« on: May 26, 2012, 07:19:07 PM »
Anybody have it?  If so, what do you think of it?  I have been shopping around for something new.  Tried the demo of Diablo 3 and didn't care for it.

It's fun, though it seems like gravity is amplified by 5x that of real life, bullets drop way too fast. Kill cam is awesome as it sounds. Never gets old. AI is mediocre. Play it like you would as a shooting gallery, fun for half an hour. Stress reliever.  :aok

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

Played Co-op campaign right away with a friend. Turned on everything (wind, gravity) on highest difficulty. Loads of fun! We spent nearly and hour on some mission trying to stay unnoticed.  :aok

Have only seen demos so far, looks pretty much like SE 1 except the graphics are a bit better and the kill cam actually shows the bones and internal damage when the bullet passes through the body.

It's decent, but seemed really short.

in my opinion, its the first one with better graphics, different story, and slightly more detailed kill cam. if you liked the first one its good, until you realize you might as well be playing the first one

I wish people would use the wish list forum to post their brilliant ideas, and be smart enough to not post all their stupid ones.

But I am under no disillusions of my wish ever being fulfilled.

It's called Sniper Elite v2 as in version 2. It is a remake of Rebellion's 2005 game Sniper Elite (with a different story of course).
