The second stage is a shoulder fire and this is what we've come to expect from a 3rd person shooter, and then finally you have your zoomed in scope aiming where you are able to pick off individual organs of your enemies. Now there are somethings I have to mention up front.įirst, if you have an Elite controller, you will want to cancel out the trigger lock for both triggers and I'll tell you why Sniper Elite 4 combines a 3 stage aiming system where the first stage is just firing from the hip and is very inaccurate except at very close range. Once I selected my rifle I headed across to the firing range where I had the chance to hit both stationary targets and moving ones from a distance of 10 meters to over 150. It was here I went through the different rifles and noted the pros and cons of each. Bullet physics mean almost everything in this game, but as I was starting out, I selected normal which included bullet physics (which does include drop) and more.Īs soon as everything loaded up I could see a dramatic improvement in the graphics and I started to head to the armory. This difficulty determines just how the game itself will react with your sniping. When you enter the range (as is the case with every mode in Sniper Elite 4) you will have the choice to select the difficulty. Here you can take a variety of rifles out to the range and see which one feels best for you. Wanting to see how the bullet physics evolved I first loaded up the shooting range.

These range from single player campaign, multiplayer, co-operative, and shooting range.

Right from the opening menu you're faced with a few options to get your sniper experience going. Now without further ado, let's take a peek inside Sniper Elite 4. In fact, I can say right now that this is going to be one of the predominant sniper experiences that you can find on the Xbox One console at this moment.

Now though, throughout multiple years and multiple evolutions, Sniper Elite 4 has launched, and like a fine wine, this series has only gotten better with age. Having originally only played the first game, I felt that premise was good however, the execution I found to be substantially lacking. Throughout the years, the Sniper Elite games have taken leaps and bounds in terms of progression as they have tried to deliver the most realistic sniping experiences you will ever play on a console.
