Snipers have to face immense pressure in terms of their mission. You need to learn to handle such pressures when playing the game as the game play involved in Elite V2 makes it possible for you to face such real world simulations. You should resort to cunning strategy in order to complete your missions. The detailed sniping emulation that the game employs is coupled with advanced ballistics. The sniper has to take every variable into account, which might include gravity, if the shot is to be fired from very far away. Wind speeds and climate conditions are important factors to calculate. If you get your bearings wrong, then you will miss your shot and risk being discovered.

When the shot has been fired accurately, the kill cam will get activated. This view allows you to see exactly how the bullet travels through the air and goes through the enemy. The decals involved in the cinematic rendition of the kill cam events are highly detailed and show the results of a successful shot.

The locations, vehicles and weaponry depicted in Sniper Elite V2 feature authentic World War II environments and hardware. Some of the examples for this include the Springfield M1903, Gewehr 43 and the famed Mosin-Nagant 1891/30. The uniforms and casual clothes shown in the game are all influenced by authentic clothes that existed during that time.

The game encourages you to take advantage of even the slightest change in environment. This is because failure to account for a slight drop in wind speed will also cause your shot to miss by several yards. The choice of the Sniper’s nest is completely up to you. Make the choice wisely as taking a well hidden spot will allow your chances of discovery to be very minute. The PC version of the game has a PEGI rating of 16.
