US Office of Strategic Services (OSS) operative, Lieutenant Karl Fairburne, has been inserted behind enemy lines to assist in the defection of German scientists to the US. Players are dropped into the devastated German capital as the enraged Russian army drives itself through the city. The country that controlled the German’s V2 rocket technology would be the country that won the next war. With the Nazi war machine on its knees, both American and Russian priorities have started to change. The game is set in Berlin during the last few days of the Second World War. But in this age whereby Xbox One X owners got a 4K version of Red Dead Redemption with a free patch, shelling out extra cash for a remastered version of a six-year-old game does sit as well as it once did.

It does, sort-of, makes sense to spruce up V2. Sniper Elite 4 released in 2017 sending players over to Italy and offering a larger, more open world environment in which to operate.īoth Sniper Elite III and 4, were both released on Xbox One, PS4 and PC, and still stand up well. In 2014, Sniper Elite III swapped Berlin for WWII’s North African theatre of war, and further refined the gameplay.

Just when I thought that the era of “remastering” games was over, Rebellion have polished up their aging Sniper Elite V2 for the current gen of consoles.Ģ012’s Sniper Elite V2 cemented Rebellion’s WWII third-person sniping franchise as one of the greats.
