Description
Karl Fairburne, an OSS agent, must eliminate Nazi targets in Berlin in 1945 with ballistic realism accounting for wind, gravity, and distance. Published by Rebellion, released in 2005 in the United States and Europe. Precision game set in ruined urban levels, offering a choice between stealth and aggressive approaches, a bullet-cam slow-motion system on lethal hits, and varied sabotage or elimination objectives.
A tactical shooter from Rebellion, Sniper Elite casts an American marksman in the Berlin of 1945, favouring patience, scouting and long range precision shooting over frontal action. The ballistics calculation, the tension of the hunt and the famous slow motion on telling shots lay the foundations of a cult series. The dated production and a slow pace that divides weigh on it. A title for fans of precision shooting and patient military stealth gaming.
