With the war almost certainly won, you must do your best to prevent the Soviets from gaining these personnel at all costs. As the Germans fight a losing war of attrition against an overwhelming Soviet army, you are tasked with capturing or killing key German scientists attached to the V-2 rocket program that had been used against Allied cities such as Antwerp and London during the preceding years.

You play as OSS officer Karl Fairborne, inserted into Berlin in April of 1945. In Sniper Elite V2 puts you at the heart of it. Europe would become center stage for a drama of ideologies that would engulf the world for the next fifty years. What followed was a behind-the-scenes scramble to gain control of Nazi technology, scientists and an all out attempt by both sides to place socialistic or democratic influence over the region. With the end of the war in sight Churchill, Stalin and Roosevelt met in February of 1945 to discuss the post-war reconstruction and reorganization of Germany and its conquered nations. In games, victory is assured through technological might and tenacity of Western powers but during World War II, victory was anything but certain, making it a far more interesting playground and offering plenty of room to explore new fiction.ĭespite the American and British’s best efforts, it was the Soviet Union that charged into Berlin first and ended the five year struggle to rid Europe of Hitler’s fascist regime. I can’t help but want to revisit the days in which our enemies really were evil and not just a matter of perspective and consequence. Yet I look around and shelves brimming with nothing but modern, ‘cutting edge’ titles using the same plot and the same generic bad guys time and time again. If you were to go up to the average shooter fan and ask them what they thought of titles set during World War II you’ll probably hear one of two answers: that they became oversaturated during the last decade or that nothing interesting can or could be told about them.
