Line up your rifle, fire, and watch what one bullet does to two enemies. Now imagine two enemy soldiers patrolling an area, or marching in formation where one soldier is a few meters directly behind the other. Not only do you see the bullet spin during its flight path, you get to see the gory details as it enters the body and pierce vital organs or shatter skull and bones before it makes a bloody and gaping exit wound. X-Ray Kill Cam does all this with exceptional detail, and then some. Let me explain Call it an FPS gamer's wet dream, Bullet Cam tracks the path of a bullet from the moment it exits the rifle's muzzle till it enters the enemy's body and the blood splatter it creates on impact, all in spectacular slow motion. Bringing back two of the original game's selling points – Bullet Cam and Ballistics Trajectory, the X-Ray Kill Cam adds that much more eye-candy in rewarding the player with a perfectly timed kill shot. Gameplay Having played the original game and loved its very realistic sniping mechanism, I am happy to say V2 builds on the highlights of its predecessor with the addition of a new 'X-Ray Kill Cam' mechanism. American OSS officer Karl Fairburne is inserted into Berlin to track and eliminate Nazi scientists assigned to the V2 Rocket Program – Germany's last ditch attempt at winning the war by using long range ballistic missiles aimed at allied targets within Europe. The single player campaign and built-in story takes us back to the last days of World War II, or specifically, "The Battle of Berlin".
However, it turns out that this game is more of an altered re-make of the 2005 version, but developed for the PS3/Xbox 360 graphics engines. On starting up the game, I was expecting Sniper Elite V2 to be the highly anticipated sequel, with V2 indicating part 2. Using real world physics, Sniper Elite on PlayStation 2 revolutionized FPS gaming by making the gamer calculate where the bullet will hit, before squeezing down on the trigger. Back in 2005, developers Rebellion and Ubisoft proved just that and broke new ground in the way gamers handled a high powered sniper rifle. Easier said than done A real sniper will tell you that it's not as simple as aligning the cross-hair of a rifle scope on a target's head and expecting 100% accuracy with every shot. Relating that viewpoint to the world of digital gaming, ask any avid FPS (first person shooter) gamer and they will tell you that a sniper rifle is THE Holy Grail. Ask any army general and you will be told that a well placed sniper is the army's deadliest weapon, capable of changing the direction of the war at the cost of just a few accurately fired shots.
