Sniper Elite V2
Sniper
Elite V2 puts you so far behind enemy lines that during its entire
campaign you’ll meet precisely one person who doesn’t want you dead.
Two
nations are out to get you. The Germans aren’t happy because... well,
because it’s Berlin in 1945. They don’t have much to be happy about. The
Russians, meanwhile, are trying to capture the German scientists behind
the V2 rocket. Your mission, as a American sniper, is to ensure a
bullet greets those scientists before the Reds do.
Given the precariousness of his situation, it’s hardly a surprise that the protagonist is a bit of a dick.
Yawning or yodelling? Soon it won’t matter.
SEV2
delights in coldly calculating tricks. Catch a soldier off guard and
you can snap his neck, booby trap his body with landmines, and wait for a
concerned squadmate to run over to him. Or you could surprise
patrolling guards by laying trip mines in doorways and corridors. Chuck a
rock at the other end and they’ll investigate the noise, their
curiosity rewarded with explosions.
When you do unleash .30
calibre chaos, it’s possible to take someone down with a non-fatal
incapacitating shot. Your target’s screams of pain will attract more
soldiers to run in front of your crosshair. And if someone does spot
you, just change position – a ghostly white image will show your last
seen point – creating confusion and panic as the enemy fires impotently
at nothing. Snipers, it seems, are the griefers of war.
The
easiest option in any given situation is simply to camp behind cover and
shoot anyone who comes into range, using the third-person perspective
to check you aren’t being flanked and the regenerating health to stay
alive. That doesn’t diminish the pleasure of conceiving and executing a
plan: put the effort in and SEV2 rewards you with the feeling of
carefully thought-out mischief falling into place. Or at least, it does
when it gives you room to manoeuvre. There’s no consistency to the
levels; the distance between each checkpoint feels like a standalone
vignette in a series of unconnected sequences. The best are large open
courtyards where distant falling bombs mask the sound of your rifle
fire, allowing you to move and shoot unseen and unheard. The worst
involve tight corridors, or narrow paths through winding streets, where
the uncanny vision of enemy soldiers allows them to discover you before
you’re ready. In these moments the game devolves into a pop-up shooting
gallery, punctuated only by the kill-cam animations every other shot.
This is why magicians stopped making skeleton armies after guns were invented.
Those
kill-cams are an uncomfortable flourish. A successful killing shot
triggers the camera to follow your bullet on its slo-mo journey from gun
to soft vulnerable body, showing the resultant splintering bones and
collapsing organs in X-ray squeam-o-vision. The lingering gratuity seems
to miss the point of sniping in games. A skilful shot over long
distance is a thing I want to feel good about. Perforating a man’s lung
isn’t.
Fortunately the sniping itself is a satisfying challenge.
Adjusting for bullet-drop and wind strength becomes second nature, to
the point that a missed shot feels like the consequence of your own
stress in tight spots. Even in the weakest moments, shooting enemies
from range is enjoyable enough to carry it. That the game so often falls
back on this, however, shows some serious structural flaws with the
level design. Ultimately Sniper Elite V2’s linearity gets in the way of
the danger and tension that its campaign attempts to evoke.
