Sniper Elite V2 Video Puts You in the Scope

Observe, plan, and execute.

In the newest video for Sniper Elite V2, the developers at Rebellion promise a "thinking man's shooter" that is quite unlike the "run and gun" shooters that are popular nowadays. *cough* COD? *cough*

Shots at other shooters aside, Sniper Eilte V2 does look pretty cool. Instead of going with the headshot meme that is so pervasive in most video games, this game takes a more realistic approach to sniping, i.e. going for center mass shots. In addition to this, you will also have to consider muzzle velocity, bullet drop, and cross winds.

To promote the idea of you staying as a sniper, the guys in the video also flatly state that if you try to Rambo your way through the game you'll find yourself dead pretty quickly.

Sniper Elite V2 is out in April in North America and in May in Europe.
