![]() There are also assassination missions in which you are tasked with killing the target in interesting ways in order to be rewarded with extra firearms to put in the loadout, and to master. You are given basic assignments, but by hunting about and finding documents you can unlock extra objectives completing these is integral to getting the best score from the missions. The big difference is not only the scale of the mission areas but also the amount of emphasis that is placed on exploration. It reminds of the Horde mode from Zombie Army 4: Dead War, which was my favourite mode in that game, and this is an interesting twist on the formula.įinally, Campaign does what it says on the tin and takes you through the story of the game. Exploring the maps, identifying choke points before setting traps there, and finding places that you can set up overwatch on is very involving and coordinating with team mates makes it easier. Keep them out of the command point and you win, if they capture it you move on to the next one, and so on and so forth. The basic setup is that you are given a command post, and have to defend it for three waves of enemies. On the flip, Survival is a lot of fun and if you manage to either get four friends together, or find a gang of randoms who are communicating, it is very enjoyable. Add to this some of the worst connections I have ever seen in an online game (and I played Bad Company 2 back in the day) and teleporting and jagging players are the least of your worries. Sniper Elite has drilled it into me – all through the campaign and the games from previous – that to be stealthy is to be safe, but now it wants us to go charging about in a half-arsed CoD wannabe mode. There are the usual choices with Free for All and various team based modes, but honestly, they just don’t work for me. What isn’t though are the PvP modes and I’m not going to lie, they are pretty dreadful. At least until you shoot the rescuer, getting two for the price of one again. The Germans speak German, as you’d expect, and hearing them shouting “Hilfe mir” when you incapacitate them is very convincing, as is how their comrades will come and assist it’s all a bit heartwarming. ![]() In terms of the audio and again Sniper Elite 5 is bang on (if you’ll pardon the pun) as the gunshots, alarms and piteous screams of Nazis as you kill them are faithfully reproduced. ![]() With an achievement tied to hitting one from more than 100 metres away, you best get practicing! Sniper Elite 5 excels in how individual organs get minced by high velocity bits of lead teeth and hats fly, and lining up multiple Germans before shooting a line of them with one bullet to save ammo is all very good indeed. All in all, the graphics are truly impressive and those testicle shots are as wince-making as ever. ![]() The way the French countryside looks, and the ability you have to see for miles with the binoculars and through the scope on your rifle is all superb, whilst the series staple – the much vaunted X-ray shots – have had an overhaul. Presentation wise and Sniper Elite – as a series – has always been pretty good, but as you’d expect with the power of the new generation of consoles to leverage, the devs have upped the game this time. ![]()
