The setting is France, and it is rendered fairly well if the trailer is trustworthy (Rebellion generally speaking is, as most small\/mid-size publishers\/developers can&#8217;t get away with the stuff the AAA publishers do).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As far as interesting details go, we have a few, and just a few: It&#8217;s probably a good thing that they aren&#8217;t completely overhauling things and instead sticking to the tried-and-true formula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First: The mini-sandbox maps are a little less mini.. Apparently they are larger than the previous series, which is a welcome change. This is the same approach that <a href=\"https:\/\/ghostgamer.news\/sniper-ghost-warrior-contracts-2-review\/\">Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 1 and 2<\/a> have taken (after the SGW had some issues with a fully open-world setting in SGW3) in that you get the freedom to explore, without having to take into account players getting too crazy in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next up is &#8220;Invasion&#8221; mode, which allows other players to invade your campaign as a counter-sniper. This isn&#8217;t anything super exciting, but it does provide an interesting mechanic and allows for a more casual PvP mode to be enjoyed as an end-game diversion (of course, coop and standard PvP are also on the list of features here). As an alternative, you can also drop in to other players&#8217; games to lend a hand if game-sanctioned trolling your fellow snipers isn&#8217;t your cup of tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, while modifying your weapons isn&#8217;t a new feature in the Sniper Elite series, they are expanding it to include more detailed modifications, including the barrel, magazine and stock, as well as ammo types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What I found most curious was the ammo types: Apparently there will be &#8220;non-lethal&#8221; rounds available. While details are limited there, I wonder if there is the possibility of doing non-lethal playthroughs where you can capture your targets instead of killing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While I enjoyed the Sniper Elite series, I myself wish we could get another publisher to focus on more present-day precision shooting setups. The problem with a sniper game set in World War 2 is that engagement ranges weren&#8217;t near as long as they can be now, and the mechanics of precision shooting were much simpler at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, you can be sure that I&#8217;ll be playing and reviewing it here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/1029690\/Sniper_Elite_5\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wishlist Sniper Elite 5 on Steam<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/sniperelitegames.com\/en\/news\/sniper-elite-5-reveal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">read more on the announcement article<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The sole WW2 sniper game series (and only the second relatively major publisher-released sniper series in existence) has come to the forefront with details on the next iteration.
