Run all over the place and you’ll find it very difficult to snipe efficiently, as the scope will be wobbling all over the place. To reinforce the need for tactical behaviour, your shooting is affected by your heart rate, which is displayed at the bottom of the screen. On anything but the easiest setting you’ll only take a couple of hits before getting into trouble. Be warned though, you are not Master Chief. These are just a couple of ways to approach a task, but there are others. Basically, if you’re spotted, then enemies in the area will rush to that point to intercept you, but you can use this to your advantage to move on to a new point and either continue on to your target or fight back. You’ll inevitably raise the alarm at times, but even when that happens you can turn it to your advantage by ‘relocating’. Don’t forget to hide the bodies though as if they are spotted then you’ll have a fight on your hands! A silenced weapon is effective, but ammunition is sparse, so it might be better to throw a rock to distract the enemy and then sneak up for a stealth takedown. Or, if you’re feeling brave, you can sneak right into an area crawling with enemies and systematically take them down one by one, which can also be done in a variety of ways. Find a decent sniping spot and time your shots to coincide with the increase in background noise, and you can take out a good few of the patrolmen without anyone even knowing. Various events throughout most levels, be it a plane passing low overhead or an old generator on its last legs, will generate noise at certain intervals. You are very rarely funnelled down a path, and instead encouraged to look around and react based on how you want to play the game. Your rifle can be upgraded as you go, providing you find the correct parts littered about the place.Īs soon as you hit the ground you’ll be given a target to reach, but it’s how you get there that is the game’s biggest draw.
You are then given the option to choose and modify your loadout, which comprises of a main rifle, an automatic weapon, a sidearm, and various other items such as mines, bandages, and rocks (yes, we’ll come back to rocks later). Every level, which is apparently three times bigger than those found in Sniper Elite 2, starts with a cutscene explaining the current situation, as well as dropping hints about how best to tool up. Rather than a run-and-gun type affair that you might expect from a game based in World War 2, Sniper Elite 3 is very much about tactics – in fact the tagline is “Observe.
