I still say that it should NOT feel SO good to shoot someone, but my GOD it's Sooooo satisfying [editline]14th April 2012[/editline] Hopefully my ISP doesn't quote this out of context and send it to the police

[QUOTE=TheTalon;35568074]I still say that it feel SO good to shoot someone, my GOD it's Sooooo satisfying[/QUOTE] This is what I saw. How about you guys?
[QUOTE=Fingers!!!;35524881]How's the X-Ray shooting thing like? Is it any good? Did you guys get creative and tried to shoot grenades, RPG's heads etc? [editline]11th April 2012[/editline] I'll download it when I get home though[/QUOTE] I shot a grenade on a soldier's chest, and I shot the testicals of another soldier. I'd say it's pretty damn awesome and hilarious at times.
Why can't we have the option of zeroing the scope instead of aiming lower?
anyone know if I can buy this game on amazon and still be able to activate it on steam?
[QUOTE=cr2142;35568215]anyone know if I can buy this game on amazon and still be able to activate it on steam?[/QUOTE] It uses steamworks, so yes.
[QUOTE=Shoar;35552466]I guess he was wondering where the traffic came from[/QUOTE] yep, i saw it was from FP, and i was like WTF...
Hurray, I got ahold of it on the Xbox! It's really fun, demo was a bit short though. It's cool how the NPC's will try to carry their fallen comrades to safety. Also, I killed the main target by shoot through this like news pole thing he was hiding behind. The slow-motion showed the bullet spinning wildly because of hitting it.
A fan posted this on the Official Facebook page [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdjNSuF_zmQ[/media] Bunch of videos listed on their forums [url]http://sniperelitev2.com/Forum/default.aspx?g=posts&t=39[/url]
This game looks really interesting. I've got the first SE, but never really got around to playing it. I was put off by the insanely fast running speed (iirc). I installed it today though and i'll definitely give it another try, and i'll be sure to check out the v2 demo. I probably won't get it full priced, i'll wait for a sale (If i'm getting it at all that is :p) Btw, did anyone else lol @ the screenshots on the steam store page? Judging by that it looks like a third person run and gun game, hah. I see the character using everything BUT a sniper rifle. :p
Gotta try this [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51ezDQu7wt4[/media]
[QUOTE=Tuskin;35526583]I've been playing this for the last hour, I love it. Diffidently buying it. [editline]11th April 2012[/editline] Its only a 10 minute level based off part of one mission.[/QUOTE] Why would they release a bad part of their game as a demo? Do you have the slightest idea of how marketing works? I remember the first one blowing hard, anyway. I don't expect anything from this. The "v2" makes it sound like they knew it sucked, and that this is their updated version of the first one, hoping that it's better.
[QUOTE=Archonos 2;35525569]I feel rather unimpressed. The x-ray shooting, in my opinion, was awesome. It's really cool to see every little piece of bone fragment and the blood effects are cool. However, the insane amount of linear hand-holding is a huge turnoff. You are forced to go from A to B to C and there is no way to break away from that path. If this wasn't 100% linear I think I would have had much more fun with it.[/QUOTE]It's a demo.
One game where the hardest difficulty is actually challenging instead of simply changing enemy health and bullet damage. One of my favourite shots was shooting the ground and having it rebound to shatter a guy's femur while he's running to cover.

I love lining up the dudes who are rescuing their downed buds.
*plays SE1 mp* WHY DO I KEEP DYING? *uninstalls*
I'm not quite sure how you can stealth through the level. Like I tried sound masking but timing it is fucking hard.

[QUOTE=gbtygfvyg;35574257]I'm not quite sure how you can stealth through the level. Like I tried sound masking but timing it is fucking hard.[/QUOTE] Can you mask sounds in the demo? I didn't notice the symbol in the top right that I've seen in the gameplay vids.

Someone should really make a thread.
[QUOTE=Watevaman;35575075]Can you mask sounds in the demo? I didn't notice the symbol in the top right that I've seen in the gameplay vids.[/QUOTE] Not entirely sure. I heard loud explosions in the background sometimes so I try to mask the sounds using that, but it happens so fast that I don't get a chance to focus my shot.
I wouldn't know either, I played with zero assists because that's how us Snipers do it. All my sniping was SWAG'ing It's just more satisfying to make a long distance kill shot, estimating the trajectory yourself, instead of having that red circle telling you where the shot's going to land. I never noticed an icon to mask my shot, and I tried multiple times during artillery explosions. Never made a difference
this is fucking amazing. I find it dumb that you have to preorder to get the K98k. I mean, why would you need to preorder to get the main infantry rifle of the german forces? But I get a mosin nagant anyway so i dont care. jesus christ i thought this was being released in like 3 months. But nope I look and see "2 weeks and 4 days"
[QUOTE=Thechuz1337;35567613]I hope Hitler only has one testical to shoot.[/QUOTE] Oh god i am pre ordering this and in that level if that happens I swear i will buy every game this company makes from now on.
Wow... I've been playing this demo over and over since it came out and just now did I learn I could zoom with the D-Pad
On my 4th playthrough I found out how to tag enemies [editline]15th April 2012[/editline] God May 1st can't be farther away.
This is a good game then?
