That was a pretty neat read right there. I had heard they used this in the game but didnt really know what it involved.

Alright, finally got an invader. After a long cat and mouse dude just ran into me in mid sprint

The axis invader mode, especially with the kind of maps this game has, is an excellent addition.

Haven't seen anyone mention the use of the Dualsense controller's adaptive triggers yet. Feels really good and it's implementation towards the half-press shoulder aiming is fantastic. Shoulder aiming rifles is still very accurate and makes the close quarter combat situations more fun when you're dropping enemies with one shot to the torso.

 

[ResurrectedContrarian]

Unpopular view, but I absolutely hate "x-ray damage" in video games, it's so childish and needlessly gross at the same time (yet another way that the Mortal Kombat series managed to turn gaming into something embarassingly immature). That's on the short list of things that are instant no-buy for me.

It's a shame, because they might have a decent sniping game here if they'd drop that stupidity.

I turned it off in the options in 5 min.

X-ray effect is okay if used extremely sparingly. It's fine in stuff like Riki-Oh because it's rare and used to only highlight internal damage. When used on every hit it's just annoying, so I turned it off.

I have made it through 5 missions, and I get better each time. Sound masks and killing

I appreciate the game play, it's like a slower version of Phantom Pain.

I love the kill cams, but I do keep them at "Normal" frequency. They are really great for the explosions too.

And, as already mentioned, they can be turned off completely.

 

[Salz01]

Enjoying the game, but yea you can get over run easily and fast.

 

[Leyasu]

Never played a sniper game before this one. gotta say that am really enjoying it alot.

Fucking in-laws have turned up ans I can't get back on it until tuesday now. Gutted.

Seems the latest patch fixed a few things. The most notable so far is the audio from the giant cannons is now working properly.

It's also loud as hell and sounds great.

EDIT: Full Details

Sniper Elite 5 Update 1.05 Patch Notes | Sniper Elite 5 June 7 Patch Notes:​

• Fixed several missing sounds – most notably the big guns in ‘Atlantic Wall’
• Fixed crash during checkpoint load
• Fixed occasional crash that occurred when loading into an AMP maps
• Fixed occasional crash that occurred on the Survival results screen
• Fixed crash that occurred when shooting the Machine Gun Team ‘Loader’ then the ‘Gunner’ in quick succession (the patch fixed crash that occurred just from shooting the Loader before the Gunner)

But man it completely screws peoples games, the amount of times I see a couple of people on the final objective only to be perfectly headshot by me in a tower half the map away just sounds so unfun... for them.

Not fun for them, but no doubt fun for you XD

They really need to make it so when the host kicks out the invader that it counts as a kill for the invader. Shouldn't even be an option.

Also killing players who play in co-op, spam the phones, as well as use focus for wall hacks AND shooting is super satisfying.

I think this would solve the whole downed host rage quitting too.

But yeah the coop vs you I feel is much more fair. When its 1v1 I feel like I can just run around the map and Bayonet them (dont underestimate rifle bayonet it lets you insta kill frontstab people, very useful against campers who sit in a guard tower or small one entrance room) with two I know im locked into an animation when stabbing someone so I actually try and set up sniper positions using my knowledge of the objectives from my campaign playthrough, it takes longer but often feels far more satisfying.

I kind of wish I could select to try and find coop games as the default.

I haven't tried the bayonets yet, but will have to now. I haven't completed the last 4 levels yet for campaign, but have done invasions on those maps. A little difficult when you're not sure what objectives even are.

The worst is loading into a game that the player has basically killed every soldier already. Or you hop into a game with players in co-op and they sit inside a building spamming the phone.

Honestly I think when you join the match you should appear on the map as a colored circle marker that covers a small area (so it's not very specific) that the host/Karl can see. Then they can disable phones at least for a little bit, but still allow the Karl player to get an idea of where you are/were. Circle of your general location could disappear after 30 seconds, while the phones could become available for Karl after 2 minutes or so.

is it possible to invade one of my friend's game as he does the campaign?

Hey all, can I invite one of my friends campaign?

No it's random.. but if you are lucky =)

Took the Platinum trophy the other day. Good game.
After some reflection, it's too easy though. And the season pass seems to be very disappointing.

Does this game really scratch the Splinter Cell/MGS itch, or is it more focused on just perfecting the sniping mechanics?

IMO, it scratches the itch pretty good. It's like a slower paced Phantom Pain, you can very reliably play the game with SMGs, pistols and melee as well.

Sniping is very important of course but it is not 100% mandatory.

Watch the Sniper Elite 5 Landing Force launch trailer. The new Landing Force mission and weapon pack, featuring the D.L. Carbine rifle and PPSH submachine gun, is available now with Sniper Elite 5's Season Pass One and is also available to purchase separately. Additionally, a free multiplayer map called Flooded Village is also available now. Watch the trailer for a look at Flooded Village, learn more about the Landing Force mission, including a look at the location and more.

Haven't played in a bit and seems I'm behind on some of the content released. Plus they just released more:

 

[cormack12]

20 jiggabyte update

 

[Ywap]

This game has to have the most fun sandbox gameplay i´ve ever encountered

The only thing missing is an Authentic+ mode with more wind + far between checkpoints.

 

[Ywap]

To anyone into graphics porn: Have you played the map Festung Guernsey?

Has to be one of the most beautiful maps ever created in a video game!

Not sure pictures can make it justice.... has to be played...

 

[R6Rider]

I need to get back into this. Still plenty of stuff to unlock and complete.

 

[Ywap]

I just did the same. I´m on my second playthrough right now. It might not be as good of a sniper game as SE 4 but it´s such a fun stealth/sandbox title.

And the much improved graphics and traversal makes it a 9.5 out of 10 for me

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Interesting to see this thread pop up. Bought this on PC the other day after playing it on Gamepass for a few hours last year. Great time this one! Shame the season pass is pretty steep, I’d pick it up otherwise.

 

[Ywap]

Yeah, same here. At 50% off i´ll get them instantly. Not saying it´s not worth it because the quality of Rebellions stuff is almost legendary but it´s just too little playable content for the asked price.

 

[Ywap]

Such a beautiful game!

The masterpiece is on sale on both Steam and Epic. Don´t miss out

I want to get it to play it in coop with a friend, but I keep hearing horror stories on steam about it, apparently there are always 50gb updates all the time, crash issues, bugs etc, I keep seeing threads reporting problems, so it's scary.
Also about the visuals, the fact that there's no AA option at all apparently is quite shocking.

I´ve had a trouble free experience, the game feels super polished to me.

Regarding AA i very much prefer super sampling (resolution scaling) in Sniper Elite 5 since most other techniques used in other games tend to blur the image. The game looks absolutely stunning but runs very well so if you have a decent gpu you should get superior AA with super sampling. I have a 3080 10gb and i can use 1.8 resolution scaling at 1600 x 1200 70hz.

I have a GTX 1080 running in 1920x1080 so I'm not sure I'd be able to do much resolution scaling. TAA would have been nice as an option.

Last chance to grab this masterpiece on the Steam and Epic sales. I´m telling you, you´re missing out on one of the greatest out there if you pass!

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

This game is definitely not a masterpiece. Especially when you consider the shitty enemy AI.

I strongly disagree but i respect your opinion

 

[Nico_D]

I played for two or three missions a while back. Too linear and restricting compared to Sniper Elite 4. Dropped it.

 

[R6Rider]

Just a reminder now that it's part of PS+ Extra. Lots of new players so it's a good time to hop into invasion mode to learn the ropes.

Obviously still a chance to get matched against someone who has more experience, but less so currently.
