Sniper Elite V2

Sniper Elite V2 is a World War II sniping game set in Berlin during the final days of the war. You play as Karl Fairburne, an elite US sniper parachuted into the city to stop the Nazi V2 rocket program’s technology from falling into the hands of the besieging Red Army. You must help key scientists who want to defect to the US and eliminate those who would aid the Russians.

The Berlin mission

Stealth is central to your work as you move between two desperate armies in a race against time. You use the environment to find a position, observe your target, take the shot and slip away unnoticed; even small environmental changes can affect your approach. You may have to choose between a clear shot that leaves you exposed and a more difficult route that lets you continue the mission.

Sniping and combat

The sniping simulation accounts for gravity, wind, velocity, bullet penetration and aim stability, among other factors. You use authentic World War II weapons, including the Springfield M1903, Gewehr 43 and Mosin-Nagant 1891/30.

Skilful shots trigger the slow-motion bullet cam. It follows the bullet into its target, with an X-ray view showing organs and bones damaged by the impact.

Berlin and its weapons

The game features authentic Berlin locations, vehicles and weapons, as well as uniforms modeled on original versions. In addition to the single-player missions, multiplayer includes seven game types: Team Deathmatch, Deathmatch, Team Distance King, Distance King, Team Dogtag Harvest, Dogtag Harvest and Capture the Flag. It also includes 10 additional multiplayer maps.

Four additional single-player mission packs are available, including the Kill Hitler mission. Each pack adds two authentic weapons.
