Sniper Elite V2 - First Impressions

[Blue Stealth]

So I know many of you have shown interest in the new sniping game, Sniper Elite V2 which is being released May 1st.
I thought I would post a short video and a pair of pictures to help illustrate how awesome this game is.

From the demo I would give this game a solid 9/10 where the only weakness is level design.
From the demo the levels seem extremely linear, thus leaving something to be desired in terms of replayability.
That being said, this is only a demo and the other environments in the game not yet seen could prove my concern wrong.

Overall if you enjoy sniping or stealth gameplay, you definitely need to pick up this game.

First here is a short clip of gameplay footage that I recorded and did not bother to edit at all, so thats why it ends so suddenly.
I will put up something of acceptable quality after the game is released if there is enough want for it.

A new meaning to the phrase, "Eat a bullet".​

Also I took some pictures of my highest-scoring kill(s) to date.

Well there it is. I hope this helps all of those who were or are on the fence on whether or not to buy it. Oh, did I mention there is co-op campaign?

Looks pretty cool, doubt my laptop's graphics could support it though.

The game does not really require uber graphic cards. Well, I have a 6970 and I play ultra at like 100 fps. But if you have some lower end graphic cards, you can play the game with medium to high settings..

50+fps is really all you need in my opinion..

Nice Blue! Looks like a sweet game! And the co-op campaign is also a very nice feature!

Looks cool I like the graphics and how you see the bullet rip through the target ha

I like shooting their grenades to make them explode on their belts.

Looks like its another game added to the ever growing steam wish list

This is on my "to-get" list. Demo was short...but I've now played the level five or six times.

Just figured I'd throw up some screenshots from one of my double kills. Not a particularly difficult shot...but it sure looks cool.

Ya know blue, i gotta ask this. Did you add in that music to the vid? If so, you picked a great song and timed it quite well with the bullet. If not disregard that complement.

Sorry if someone asked that already but i suffer from Googleidus where you are lazy at looking through pages of things. The official standings are: Dare not go past first page, second page is pushing it, third page is pointless, past that does not exist

Yah thats my doing. I had in-game music turned off and used my own.
