About the Game

In the dark days of the end of World War Two amidst the ruins of Berlin, one bullet can change history…

Sniper Elite V2 is the eagerly-awaited sequel to the highly-acclaimed Sniper Elite, giving gamers the most authentic World War II sniping experience available. You are elite US sniper Karl Fairburne. Parachuted into Berlin amidst the Germans’ final stand, your mission is to prevent Nazi V2 rocket program technology from falling into the hands of the besieging Red Army. You must aid key scientists keen to defect to the US, and terminate those who would help the Russians.

Take advantage of authentic weaponry, learn how to stalk your targets, fortify your position, set up the shot, use your skill, patience and cunning to achieve your mission. Stealth gameplay is the key as you find yourself trapped between two desperate armies in a race against time. Watch as the celebrated ‘bullet cam’ from Sniper Elite returns, bloodier and more gruesome than ever – skilful shots are rewarded with a slow-motion flight of the bullet, then targets are graphically rendered in X-Ray as the bullet enters and destroys your victim. Organs shred, bones splinter, teeth shatter, as the true impact of the sniper’s bullet is brought to life.

As World War Two ends and the Cold War begins, every shot counts. Use it wisely.


Key features

Played the Demo on Xbox. Defo a must have

I remember the first one on PC and it was fantastic

[V_R]

Demo is good, worth a play though, didn't think i'd like the 3'rd person view, but its manageable.

I finally played the demo today, and really enjoyed it. Yeah I wish there was a way to zoom in to 1st person when you wanted to, like in Just Cause 2, but once you start playing it you soon forget about that little detail. It's pretty unique game play, and might make for an awesome MP game as well - imagine seeing your friends get taken out in slow motion detail Here's a good youtube of the demo:

Lol, at that video, the guys not playing as a sniper very well, i did skip though it but he was running round with his Tommy gun more than playing a sniper!


Yeah i like it, have pre ordered it too, i want the 'Kill Hitler' Bonus content!

Pre-Purchase Offer - Exclusive Bonus Level

Rebellion brings you the ultimate mission for the ultimate sniping game! Pre-purchase Sniper Elite V2 today and get an exclusive bonus level – "Kill Hitler!"

You have the leader of the Nazi war machine is in your sights and one clear shot. Do you have the skill and nerve to take that shot and Kill Hitler?

As the Thousand Year Reich collapses, you have received intelligence that Adolf Hitler is returning to Berlin on board his personal train. Intercept it as it waits at the station. One brief opportunity to do what so many wish had been done – Kill Hitler!

The Sniper Elite V2 pre-purchase offer also includes two extra authentic sniping weapons – the Soviet semi-automatic battle rifle SVT-40 and the standard German service rifle Kar 98:

With its big clip and semi-automatic fire, SVT-40 is the brute of the sniping world. But its lower muzzle velocity leads to more bullet drop over longer ranges, challenging the skills of even the most experienced player.
With the Karabiner you have access to the most powerful zoom in Sniper Elite V2, perfect for long range pinpoint shooting – but only if you can successfully master the ‘Empty Lung’ technique.

One bullet can change history. Pre-purchase Sniper Elite V2 and take the shot…

I played the demo through, it was good. Alright, very good Love the slomo.

It's 27 quid on Steam atm and in June or July it will probably be about 15 quid. Is it worth paying the extra cash for early access and one shot at Der Fuhrer?

I'm pleased to see it's on Steam as well and not, well, you-know-who

[V_R]

I know just what your saying regarding the price Flops i really do, and your probably dead right.

Dont worry it wont me on there, its not made by EA.

[TriplexDread]

Just pre-ordered it too for Xbox. The extra DLC did it for me. Just over £29 on amazon

[Zema Bus]

I just pre-ordered it, two hours before it unlocks. I should have it fully downloaded in 35 mins according to Steam

[floppybootstomp]

Welp, just bought it on Steam, almost finished downloading.

Good new WW2 fps's are thin on the ground and the demo seemed to indicate this is a goodie and £27 seemed fair compared to the prices of BF3 & CoD_MW3 when they were first released. Plus there's the Hitler extra thingie.

So, here's to it unlocking in a coupla days
