Which, if you’re a fan of sniping, is all the better. With a new Gear level mechanic, Breakpoint encourages the grind for better equipment. Well, terrible microtransaction business aside. Breakpoint takes what was established in Wildlands, tidied it up a bit and put out a much more refined experience. It may seem cheap to put two direct sequels in a list, but bear with us. It may not have the refined sensibilities of its main counterparts, but when you actually get to aim the rifle in VR for the shot, it doesn’t matter! It’s fiddly to get the hang of, what with not actually holding anything, but once you get the hang of it, you’ll be an eagle-eyed sharpshooter in no time.
And for good reason, if you have VR, as it’s worth checking out. Much like Zombie Army, it wouldn’t be fair to ignore this Sniper Elite spin-off. Just the hope that their aim is true, and that someone hasn’t lined you up in their sights. Much like a real warzone, there aren’t any on-screen flashes to tell players if they’ve hit. No slow motion breathing mechanics here, just a steady aim and the hope that the lead you’ve slung has hit its target. Which, contrary as it sounds, make the sniping all the more sweet when you get the hang of it. No health bar, no HUD, just a vague direction of the enemy and what players need to sieze/defend. Boasting 50v50 battles, Hell is quite literally let loose, much like a real skirmish. Over and over again… #7 Hell Let Looseīringing it back to realism over the undead, Hell Let Loose is Team17’s foray in the world of war shooters. A great multiplayer experience, the pleasure comes from your teammates flanking you whilst you take aim at zombie Hitler’s daft looking face. That being said, even though your enemies are more rushing than patrolling from far off, it is still just as satisfying to pop the head off of an undead Nazi whilst it’s charging towards you. That is to say there is sniping in there, but it’s not the core tenet or expectation of the player to do so. It wouldn’t be fair to leave out Sniper Elite spin-off series, Zombie Army, even if it does offer sniping in the loosest sense. Doubly so if you’re using that to provide cover for your teammates to sneak in. Utilising the former to mark enemies, so that players can find a good vantage point for the latter, is a great gameplay mechanic. What makes Wildlands great in its “tackle it your way” approach is the combination of drone and sniping. Of course, what comes with open world warfare? Long distance enemy placements.
Sniper elite 5 developer series#
Known for its large ambition, it was 2017’s Wildlands that took the series fully open world. #9 Ghost Recon: WildlandsĪnother series that’s been running a while now, Ghost Recon has reinvented itself a couple of times. With unlockable weapons and perks, taking on the role of rifleman in Red River was an experience few games could manage at the time. Offering up a pseudo-realistic military campaign in Tajikistan, Operation Flashpoint served up some decent, squad-based gameplay. Particularly Red River, after it had been patched. They weren’t perfect games, but they were enjoyable. At its peak, there wasn’t really a whole bunch of “realistic military shooters” doing the rounds. There hasn’t been an Operation Flashpoint game since 2011’s Red River, but that doesn’t mean that the series should be ignored.
Showing no signs of slowing, Rebellion are set to release Sniper Elite 5 in May. In that time, it’s not only proven popular enough to have a spin-off series in the Zombie Army games, but a slew of imitators and copycats along the way.
Honing their craft, Rebellion hit the big time when they blended their sniping craft with the intricate and gory X-ray kill cams that the games are renowned for. Whilst the first one came and went, the franchise has only gone from strength to strength since first sequel, V2. The Sniper Elite series has been running for a staggering seventeen years.
