Veteran removes that red dot from your scope forcing you to actually use real-world sniper practices for calculating bullet trajectory while Deadeye removes that dot and most of the other incidental items on your HUD, truly immersing you in the combat as you face off against even more alert and aggressive enemies.īefore each contract you’ll get to suit up with a variety of weapons and gadgets some of which are available from the start, but most of the good stuff will need to be purchased and upgraded between missions with your earnings.
I played the first two contracts on Sharpshooter and found the entire thing way too easy. You can choose from Marksman (easy), Sharpshooter (normal), Veteran Sniper (hard), and Deadeye (realistic). Thankfully, you can tailor the game’s difficulty and challenge at the beginning of each mission a nice change from most games that globally sets the difficulty in the options.
I would have loved an augmented reality mask that overlaid waypoints and distances to targets on my helmet, and that magic dot on my sniper scope that calculates bullet drop and wind shear would turn any average Joe off the street into an elite sniper. Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 has plenty of cool weapons and high-concept gadgets, most of which are not real but still fun to imagine.

You are free to “bank” your progress after each contract at an exfil point then return to the map to complete any other contracts. Fast travel points will unlock as they are discovered, allowing you to bounce around the map as long are you aren’t in combat or attempting to exfil. For the most part the contracts are laid out in a somewhat linear path across the regional map, but you are always free to do them in any order you choose. Imagine if Seal Team Six had been told to kill Osama bin Laden but ONLY while he was sitting on the crapper.Įach engagement area has multiple contracts and multiple methods/rules/restrictions to complete those contracts. I’ve recently been playing the Hitman games and there are a lot of similarities to the overall game design, a design that encourages multiple replays of each mission to check off these optional goals or challenges to earn extra cash. I also don’t get to make a game out of how elaborate my approach to each scenario will be. A satellite map shows the five areas of engagement that will unlock one by one as you complete previous missions, or should I say “contracts”Īs a military sniper I don’t have the luxury or freedom that mercenaries enjoy like picking out my targets and getting a fat check for each confirmed kill. Everything about this sequel is bigger and better than before, as we gear up for a tour of duty in the Middle East a place where I have spent a significant portion of my military career. Jumping into Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 I was initially worried CI Games had merely reskinned the original, as the opening tutorial is identical to the first game, but once you get past those training lessons everything is fresh and actually quite impressive. As a former Army sniper I go into all these military shooters with a certain level of apprehension and skepticism, often to my own detriment, but I have learned to “lighten up” over the past few years because if games, especially sniper games, were anything like the real thing nobody would be playing them. Last January I reviewed the original Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts, and I came away from the experience more than pleased with this unique hybrid that seamlessly blended stealth and tactics with open-world design that allowed a certain level of autonomy to the campaign seldom seen in the genre.
