Re: Sniper Elite V2 Demo Shoots Your Face Off Next Week

Next week will see the release of a lovely new demo for Rebellion's Sniper Elite V2, which plonks you into the boots of crack-shot killer and undercover American OSS agent, Karl Fairburne. The demo will task you with infiltrating and then taking out an important Nazi target.

-

Set amongst the rubble of Schöneberg, you'll need to evade Nazi troops with a bit of stealthy movement, before taking out a Nazi rocket technology expert who's being escorted in an armoured convoy. In the special mission, you'll ultimately uncover a covert V2 rocket facility once you've dealt with the target.

-

The Sniper Elite V2 demo will be hitting the Xbox Live Marketplace on April 10th, giving you the opportunity to sample some of the game's much-vaunted killcams, which enable you to see and scrutinise the extent of the internal damage you've cause with your single sniper bullet.

-

Sniper Elite V2 is out on May 1st in North America and May 4th in Europe. Check out our marvellous video feature with real-life WWII sniper rifles for more.

Nice, cheers for the heads up!

Phil are you thinking of getting this?

Me and my dad used to play the first one and see who could get the longest snipe :), this game will be worth picking up if it's half as good as the first one was.

Wasn't expecting a demo of this.... Good stuff!

Shame it's not multiplayer... The sniper deathmatch mode on the last game was minty fun!

Really looking forward to trying this, heard alot of good things about the first and got this pre-ordered for 30£ over at Shopto

Has anyone tried this yet? Had a good few goes this morning and have to say, ill be keeping my pre-ordered, loving it! Though im totally crap at it so far, less stealthy sniper, more blundering ape! The mission in the demo isnt very long but i spent my first 4-5 attmpts stuck in the first building blasting everyone, the x-ray kills look nice aswell. Also the splash screen at the end says there multiplayer and co-op so happy days! Get it ordered from Shopto for 32£!

Played the demo to death this morning and it's superb, the x-ray kills are great fun and the surprise at the end is a real oh s*** moment, LOL.

Oooh I'd better check this out now, always love trying out new demos!

Liked it alot, gona rent though.

As said, the x-ray when bullet enters body is cool.

Played through 4 times so far... definitely a worthy successor to the original.

Those slow-mo, flesh peeled away kills are pretty gruesome... nice!

Managed to get a double "nut shot" earler, lol.. Made me wince a touch.

Glad I preordered, can't wait to see if Hitler really has just one.

I liked it.

But

but....i liked it

Anyone else agree that this has a slight hidden and dangerous 2 feel to it? I quite like it, although I'm not sure it will have much replayability. Might just enjoy the demo and stick with that lol.

Sniper Elite V2 - Cinematic Trailer

Nut Shot FTW

Had a few goes on this yesterday and I rather like the slow-mo effect takes place.

I wouldn't mind getting the game when it's in the bargin bin though.

Played the demo and thought it was very good; as said by others the slow mo kills are fantastic and have been well thought out!

Does anyone know if it shall come with a online pass? As i may rent it with the funds being tight at the mo!

£32 on Shopto with some Hitler DLC.

I have played the demo,  i love it. Especially the x rays when you get a kill, I will still properly only rent this game before I buy it

I can't even get the Demo to download as it gets to a certain percent then automatically signs me out..........

I must be missing something then, I do think the x-ray style effects are great, but i dont quite understand that your a sniper but are forced to take the busiest route up the street.

I wasn't too impressed either,  just as bad as the first game was I would bet.

I thought you people were smoking something because I thought you were talking about "Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2" lol.

.

Heard the first was terrible and I was sat here thinking "These guys saying SGW1 was good must be drunk".

.

Then it dawned on me you're talking about Sniper Elite which was on original Xbox lol.  Duhhhh...

After playing the demo few more times....would of killed them to give me a few more path to take? seems a bit odd

having seen a near full version of the game, wow it looks good and from seeing it play, it seems to move well, though I've never been into always buying the next military shooter, but by the looks of the game this is less arcadey COD action which means it will only see amongst those who are fine with games playing slower.

argh i have this sitting on my hard drive and i still haven't got round to playing it.

maybe tonight

I am just about to download this, will give my view later!

I liked it but somethings I didn't like I wish you could do maybe stealth/knife kills and more pathways and I don't like how a enemy can see you from 500 miles away

If you sneak up close to an unaware enemy you get a button prompt (A) to do a stealth kill.

Ahh cheers Brian!

It's pretty good, am enjoying it!

Do yu get the prompt on Sniper Elite difficulty?

As i sneak up on the guy looking out the window and nothing came up.

The last section reminds me so much of Saving Private Ryan, feel like such a badass! Haha.

Mr Silky:

It's pretty good, am enjoying it!

Yeah i got it on the second attempt, pretty good, only just realised the rock, press rb to distract enemies!

Is there multiple stealth kill animations or is it just a neck break?

I have had a few tries of this demo and I like it. But I think this will be £20 or lower in a few weeks so I will wait until then.

I've played the demo twice now and it's a deffo buy for me, and I'm not usually into this type of shooting game as it's usually all to slow paced for me.but I've found this one to be very enjoyable.

Since trying the demo I want it even more, not to long to wait now :)

The co-op has the potential to be awesome! I'm not sure if i'm going to buy straight away or leave it for a few weeks, when is it out?
