Sniper Elite V2 - The Ultimate Sniping Simulator!

Youtube Link!

Oh man, I hope they'll actually polish this game because it's pretty cool. Well, as long as you don't play like me.

Edit- Some people don't seem to understand the point of this video. Its purpose is to show the complete lack of a ballistics system when aiming without scoping in. There is no weapon sway or recoil. Stamina does not matter unless you look down your scope. The few missed shots in the video are entirely due to the ridiculously large crosshair. Playing this way shouldn't be even remotely feasible. I really hope they'll release a patch for this because, besides this and the linear tutorial mission, the game is pretty great.

Edit- Someone else recorded a video to "prove me wrong." (Which you can view here!) But unfortunately they've done something terribly wrong. Did you notice how they line up their shot by scoping in, unscoping and then shooting? Well, I've found another flaw with the game. The middle of your scope is in a different place than the middle of your crosshair. That means that his crosshair was not in the same spot as his scope. I've recorded another video to make it clearer. Now, look at these two screenshots. Please note that I've edited the contrast on the target so it's easier to see.

Taken right before I shoot

Taken as soon as I unzoom

You may think that this is because of recoil but your weapon actually moves back to the original position after you're done firing. What other proof do you need?

This gotta make developers wonder WTF did they create xD

Hopefully a better AI and worst aiming from crosshair would make it.

Regards

What? he couldnt do all that with just a knife?

Amateur!

Inquisitioner · 04-30-2012, 05:04 AM

Hah.. Guess that's one way to go.

This is sad. Hopefully it ain't the same in full version.

Senescent · 04-30-2012, 12:12 PM

We can only hope. The game really has a lot of potential to be amazing as long as the levels in the full game aren't linear.

who cares? It took him like 3+ shots per kill. thats horrible.

aim using scope takes 1 shot per kill. and much much faster.

Wait, your telling me it's possible to run and gun as a skilled player?!

I can think of one, maybe two games tops that didn't allow this if you were a decent fps player.

there is nothing to fix, a guy makes a video derpin' around and breaking the gameplay on purpose and the developers are supposed to fix the game? lol

Senescent · 04-30-2012, 12:25 PM

If you can break the gameplay this easily it needs to be fixed.

there is nothing really "broken" there, the guy knows where the enemies are because like many people he has played the demo a lot, he is just using the rifle without the scope, thus less precise than a scoped shot, thus taking longer to kill enemies.
what's there to fix?

Senescent · 04-30-2012, 12:38 PM

"That guy" is me, just for future reference. Regardless of if I knew where the enemies are or not I could still achieve the same thing. The bullets are almost perfectly accurate when you're not scoped in. There is no bullet drop. There is no wind. The few missed shots are due to the ridiculously large crosshair. Stamina needs to come into play in third person, there needs to be weapon sway and recoil. The game needs a day one patch if they haven't all ready fixed this because if not it's completely broken. I'm sure they will get it all fixed up eventually but for now it's a shame because the game is pretty cool otherwise.

the game wasn't meant to be played derpin', runnin' and gunnin' without scope, you might be mad because that's the way you want to play it, but like I said this is a Sniper game not meant to be played like that, maybe if you whine enough and threat them to cancel your pre-order they will release a patch to please you so you can play "Mc Derpi-no scoping". Don't hold your breath thou...

Senescent · 04-30-2012, 12:54 PM

I don't think you're comprehending what I'm saying. You can currently play "Mc Derpi-no scoping" as evident by the video I've posted. This needs to change, which is why I said that weapon sway and recoil needs to be added when aiming without scoping in. I don't enjoy playing this way, silly. It's just stupid that it's currently a feasible "tactic."

Hmmzers. Growing multiplayer concerns...

Make the crosshairs hilariously big. Problem solved. Can't do that with the Welrod. I've tried.

Nice video. I can't believe I never tried that.
