Introduction
Sniper Elite V2: Kill Hitler is a stealth-action game developed by Rebellion Developments and published by 505 Games. It was released on May 1, 2012, for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. The game is a standalone expansion to Sniper Elite V2, and it follows Karl Fairburne, a German-American sniper, as he is sent on a mission to assassinate Adolf Hitler during the final days of World War II.
Gameplay
Sniper Elite V2: Kill Hitler is a third-person shooter game that emphasizes stealth and long-range sniping. Players control Karl Fairburne, who is equipped with a variety of sniper rifles, pistols, and explosives. The game features a large open world environment that players can explore at their own pace.
Players must use stealth to avoid detection by enemy soldiers. They can use cover to hide from view, and they can also use distractions to draw enemies away from their hiding spots. When sniping, players must take into account factors such as wind speed and bullet drop. They must also be aware of their surroundings, as enemies can easily spot them if they are not careful.
In addition to sniping, players can also engage in close-quarters combat. They can use their pistols to take down enemies at close range, and they can also use melee attacks to kill enemies silently.
