I bought Sniper Elite 1 via Steam for PC on sale, and never played it, lol... heard it was pretty good. Sniper Elite 2 comes out in under a month, but looks like only for Xbox 360, I could be wrong, hope it comes out for PC...

anyway, a demo was released this AM on Xbox Live... heres a video of my very first run, first kill, and first death... my mistake, playing it like a shooter, I've seen slowed down, flanked and fired from different positions, which is key here... more on that later....

REMEMBER, the game is played in HD, but the Roxio GameCap device I use only captures in SD... so not only is this "work in progress", but also lowered quality for capture rate.




Screens:






















First impressions, good. fun game... my concern is the replay value... but who knows.

The first was excellent, although clearly not a AAA title. It had the bullet-time deal for good headshots, which could be bloody and chunky, but didn't have that x-ray gore deal. Also the cover function and Conviction-like ghost marker is new. The original was meant to be played more like a stealth game than shooter.
I have the original on (original) Xbox and pc. Had many, many great games in this on Xbox & 360 with a group of friends. The host controls were pretty good. You could set the reload times to realistic, 75%, 50%...something like that, and lower the power of the non-sniper weapons to discourage that urge to run up on someone when you spot them from behind. LOL
Came out a few months before the 360 IIRC, but still became a cult classic and held its price at $30 for a few years.
I don't have much time for MP these days, and if it's not COD I doubt MP will really take off, but I'll be getting this.

FYI: 505 is the publisher, so don't go into this expecting any patches.

I think this is a brilliant sequel. More stealth elements, like the rock throw diversion. Mobility is much better. The trip wire grenade is back! Once again, shoot grenades etc on the soldier's belt and get rewarded for the shot. wink (see 6:30)
I like how the wounded call for help in the street. I wonder if that could work it's way into MP?

Thought I'd piggyback while testing out my equipment again.
