OP, how can you play the demo?
I've been looking everywhere for it

shameless self bump

Not enough stealth.

Maybe I just suck at it. I really tried though.

>>135942173
I think it´s only for consoles at the moment.

Never been more fucking excited. The first one was one of my favorite games on PS2. I randomly saw the demo up and was like "holy shit what". Played it, and although it was more linear, dem realistic physics and dem testicle shots. Also the shooting a grenade and watching them turn to bits in X-ray bit by bit.

>>135942269

aww man, that sucks. I fucking hate setting up my xbox

>>135942252

I think that the demo had one of the more "non-stealthy" missions so that it would appeal to cod-kids...just a guess

>>135941997

Dat reaction.

>You mean your balls, dude?

>elite difficulty
>press toggle to use binoculars
>look at enemy
>insta p40 shot to the chest

don't even bother even on cadet they got superman eyes.

>>135942475
I hope so. It was really cool and fun.

I dont know anything about this game, but it looks pretty fucked up. Can you just replay a kill shot and see xray bullet trauma? Why the fuck would you want to do that? Im not saying you dont have a right to, but i think that this game could be better if it focused on the uncertainty and extreme carefulness of sniping and didnt overly appeal to our sadistic impulses. We already have enough games where you can fap to cutting someone in half with a chainsaw...

>>135941997

Not impressed.

Linear levels, heavily scripted, enemies that spawn out of thin air, awful AI, awful stealth, regenerating health, stupidly huge crosshairs, empty lung replaced with BOOOLET TIME SUPER ZOOM, shit like throwing rocks is completely broken

On the plus side movement isn't completely fucked like the first game.

If the full game takes place in open levels will less of a reliance on scripted sequences & spawning Nazi's magically the rest is forgivable, but man I expected better.

mfw I take out a whole squad of men and a sniper on highest difficulty

Alright I have already said this in a couple V2 threads but here it goes.

Health regen even on the highest difficulty setting.
Linear as hell, the demo had zero optional paths and no way to stealth through because of this
AI is retarded
Casual slo mo shit instead of empty lung

Go pirate Sniper Elite, its much better gameplay-wise. Until I see that V2 has open levels with multiple paths that allow stealth and lets you time shots with artillery or planes to zone out the sound of your rifle then V2 is fucked

>Have only 360
>Never paid for online so obviously I only have silver account
>Demos only for gold members for the first week
>Returned wifi adapter to Gamestop as I only "rent" those out to get whatever DLC that comes free with new games (Batman Arkham City as an example)

bump for interest in opinions

fuck it im buying it twice.

At PAX they had a table where you could get one free month. I took 20.

>>135944425
Added.

How was the first sniper elite? Its going for $2.50 right now is it worth it at all?

>>135944687
Its pretty fun. The sniping is good for a 2005 game, better than some games to this day. The level design is far more open than Call of Duty or Sniper Elite V2's demo.

Sniper Elite = Hitman Blood Money
V2 = Hitman Absolution

>>135944425
STOP PLAYING GAMES AND ACCEPT MY INVIT.

THANK YOU FOR TELLING ME....THANK YOU FOR TELLING ME....THANK YOU FOR TELLING ME....THANK YOU FOR TELLING ME....THANK YOU FOR TELLING ME....THANK YOU FOR TELLING ME....THANK YOU FOR TELLING ME....THANK YOU FOR TELLING ME....

>>135944840
Well what the hey, I'm bored and have 3 dollars lets do this.

>>135944982
The movement is bad, or maybe you will get used to it. You won't instantly stop if you have forward motion, so it feels like you are on ice. Graphics are mediocre for a 2005 game, and it really shows during the killcams

>>135944687

>How was the first sniper elite? Its going for $2.50 right now is it worth it at all?

Honestly, no.

Some great ideas executed with absolute mediocrity.

I didn't like it all that much. Too linear for my tastes. Controlled well, but on my difficulty (Sniper Elite) the enemies reacted quickly and from incredible range, but where incredibly dense, and pretty much let me pick them all off one by one without putting up much of a fight until the end. But I played the original to death, and am a rather patient man. Maybe that didnt play out that way for everyone?

>>135945167
>>135945119
Well I'm giving it a shot, but just a few questions if you don't mind:

What side do you fight for?

Do you ever get to help out in big battles surrounded by allies?

The grenade shots are the best, though sometimes the camera angle is not that good. I got a couple good ones where blood and bone flew like crazy, it was glorious.

They need a mode where I can just shoot guys down a straight corridor for training or some shit.

>>135945876

>What side do you fight for?

You play an American disguised as a German who kills fucking everyone.

>Do you ever get to help out in big battles surrounded by allies?

Sort of, only the "allies" will just as soon shoot you as the Germans.

>>135945876
United States. You fight both Nazis and Soviets. You aid the German resistance forces while going for your main target.

You disguise yourself as a German to avoid directly fighting German troops

<thread dies>

>>135947812
Nothing to discuss until the game or PC demo comes out. I will pirate it anyways just because its too much money for a linear shootan game. If it turns out not linear I will buy it because co-op campaign will be fun with big open levels

>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:

>K-98

Fuck that, I don't want to have to preorder to use my favorite gun from the era.

>>135948452

AK47>K-98

prove me wrong

>>135949268
They are hardly comparable, you realize this right?

>>135949607
i revoke my statment

how are those scripted AI?

>>135949814
the pre-order special mission is to kill hitler.

How was the original Sniper Elite?

>>135949985
They are annoying. The demo level really sucks, but if they gutted a big open level to make the demo area the actual mission could be better.
The AI does shit like running into walls for more than a couple seconds, so I do think it was gutted for a demo.
>>135950107
That level is what I hope for all the main mission levels. You basically have to kill Hitler while he is in a heavily guarded town and if you fuck up he runs to a train. So if you miss or alert the town you have to hit Hitler while he is running to the train

>>135950278
well there was a real mission during the war where 2 US soldiers would parachute in dressed as nazi's with a k98 to take a mile long shot at hitler, they deemed it too risky and unlikely they it would succeed.

>>135950489
Well I don't care if it was attacking a Nazi alien research facility and ending up into a Wolfenstein situation.

What I do care about is that its a big open level that you can stealth through, and isn't a hallway simulator

>>135950278
is this one of those "but its a DEMO theyll fix it!" or is it just awful?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AkxEPQn83U&feature=player_detailpage#t=78s
you can shoot grenades on the soldiers.

shit game

>>135950906
well the first one looked like a 1999 pc game and the scripted gameplay was so horrible the only thing to move the gameplay was you moving forward

>>135950798
The demo level is only decent because the killcam is very awesome. Like, I played through it 10 times because the killcam was that awesome and I was trying different shit like shooting the potato grenades or killing 2 people with 1 bullet.

The level itself is shit. Really linear, and its impossible to stealth through because you can't kill the sniper without alerting people and you can't get past people without alerting the sniper. The AI is bad.

Health regen even on the highest difficulty settings, which is a major step down from Sniper Elite which had no health regen and you had to find bandages on the map.

So making a mistake as a sniper, which should have big drawbacks, has zero drawbacks in V2.

>>135941997

>420XD-RONPAUL2012-COMMITED 2 DA KuSH- xxxW33dxxxKinnGxxxx-YOLO

Really?

Man if I do get this game headshots all day every day I don't want to shoot people in the nuts it makes me sick and ives me goosebumps

>>135951185

joke

>>135951243
>not ricocheting bullets off helmets and into other people

All of this has to be scripted right? Or did everyone really had the chance to nutshot someone, blow a grenade off the leg of someone, and >>135951429 >>135951429?

I am actually playing through the original Sniper Elite right now. Picked it up a few days ago on Steam. Its pretty cool. Will check out the PC demo for this though.

>>135951519
none of it is scripted.

>>135951519
The killcams are not scripted. 100% generated real time based off distance, point of impact etc.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oW9sUC7KBfA

>>135951625
I just started it too, ran into what looks like a tiger just looking at what looks like a t-34.

Right in front of each other, just staring.

Then when I went in front of the t-34 its machine gun shot me.

So... what?

>>135953298
hit the t-34 in the fuel tanks to blow it up (the little silver circle) the tiger thinks your just a german sniper.

>>135953298
You are disguised as a German soldier.

The AI is pretty bad anyways, I don't think they ever fire their main cannon even if its possible to fire it.

>>135953416
>>135953379
I get that the tiger likes me, I just don't get why it likes the t-34 so much.

Kind of pissed me off how the game is called SNIPER ELITE and yet they make a huge deal out of making +100 yd shots.

>Way too much open shooting. If a sniper is in open combat he did a shitty job. Game should be 95% stealth.

>hurr kill +1000 points
I don't mind a scoring system but just do it at the end of the round and give me points for bypassing enemies.

Regen health, and badly. I played on the second hardest difficulty and took ~10 shots before I died.

AI wasn't pretty bad, at one point I had soldiers running past me while I was around the corner and I shot them over and over and they kept coming to the same spot. They're either stupid or have xray eyes.

>>135953562
Though besides some oddities it is a neat little game.

>that feel when 2 headshots with one bullet

The sniping mechanics should be fucking standard on every FPS out there.
That said I REALLY hope I have some money when it comes out because it's fucking amazing.
I shot some guy's grenade by accident and HE FUCKING EXPLODED.

>>135953851
Best shot so far, though I'm sure its not that great by comparison.

>>135953878
Yeah my first grenade shot was by accident, and trying to replicate it took over 10 more times playing the demo

>mfw there's sound masking

Anyone else hardly notice when you got shot at the first time?
The enemy snipers have nearly silent rifles.

Also, >checkpoints, checkpoints everywhere
They even gave you checkpoints to get to the checkpoint. Ridiculous.

>>135954110
I don't think there is any in the demo. In the original Sniper Elite's first level, there is artillery fire constantly

>>135954314
they said in an interview that there is

>>135954446
I meant just the demo level.

They should also disable the combat music on the highest difficulty settings. Its too easy to know when you have alerted people or have killed off the opposition

>yfw a soldier carries a wounded to safety and does chest pumps to him they get revived

Soooo no one minds that theres Regen Health and a cover system?
We're just going to accept that as standard now for 3rd person shooters?

>>135955413
ctrl+f regen

Yes it fucking sucks, and the original Sniper Elite didn't have it. They could ATLEAST fucking disable it for the highest difficulty settings but nope

>>135955413

Depends on how it is implemented. Human Revolution did both of those properly. The regen was too slow to be useful in a frenetic firefight, and cover was mainly used for stealth.

i noticed in OP's vid he was being shot at. is it possible to play the game full on 'enemy at the gates' style and remain completely hidden?

>>135955413
Wait what? /v/ hates cover systems? Why?

>>135955534
Like shields in other shooters.
Duck, regen, back in it.
After a counter sniper puts a round in your skull.

>>135955703

In most of its applications, it removes the difficulty. You can just sit behind cover and you auto win.

>>135955648
Not in the demo level atleast. Its very linear and its impossible to stealth through because of enemy position and zero patrolling. Those coupled with no sound masking in the demo level and the level design itself being shit makes it impossible

I had fun.

If it was $20.00 .... even $30.00 I would buy it.

I'll wait till then

>>135955746
I guess I understand that. Most shooters I play I'll crouch behind cover even if it doesn't have a cover system because that's the most logical thing to do in a firefight. Every challenging shooter I've played running n gunning is the quickest way to die. Putting a cover system in a game just streamlines the whole process.

>>135955794
Brothers! Let us pray that the rest of the game does not follow in the demo's footsteps.

>implying this isn't copypasta from the finished game.

>>135956226
Have you played the demo? There are areas not useful in the least bit and it looks like you should be able to go to other areas but can't. Its probably a level with 2/3rds of it cut out or a specially made level that was rushed

>>135956104
using cover has never been frowned upon just the recent over use of stick-to-cover-button.

So what is the demo out on and where can I find it?

>>135956380
Cover systems usually mean the gameplay boils down to duck hunt shooting

>>135942269
damn. Why would I want to play a shooter based on pin-point accuracy without my mouse... Hopefully the pc demo comes out soon.

>>135956367
As I said: Let us pray!

And to answer your question, yes. I saw those too and tried my damnedest to get to that MG position at the beginning.

>>135956572
PS3, XBL but only for gold members.

PC is supposed to be released soon

>>135956682
>Playing first game
>lining up a shot
>DID YOU KNOW TNT CAN BE PLACED OR THROWN THEN SHOT WITH THE SNIPER RIFLE

>third playthrough of demo
>boobytrap the road with trip mines and dynamite
>as soon as convoy stops everyone gets out to run for cover and explodes
>only had to shoot that one explosive to kill the entire convoy and the target.

if there is more room for that kind tactics and alot more stealth then I would happily pay full price for this game.

>>135956954
You can disable those hints and shit in the options I think.

>>135956954
That.
With more TNT set up down the road.
Wait for sceduled target.
Blow him, his car, the truck behind him and his personal guard all to hell in an instant.

I loved ambushes in the first one.

>not shooting the explosives off before they reach them so you can kill everyone with your sniper rifle
Casuals

>>135957637
Samefagging here, I also hate that you are forced into that vantage spot. There is a spot on the other side of the street you could probably use to shoot the driver.

Should give you a timelimit on the whole level, so if you fail to reach EZ mode explosives you can still shoot the person in the convoy
