The AI is thankfully fixed, meaning there are fewer opportunities for you to randomly miss your enemies even though you shoot right at them and is just more responsive to your controls in general than it ever was before. The story, while also still quite short, is a bit more engaging than the first as well (I’m basing this off the fact that I got bored a lot less than I did with it predecessor). So, with the plot summarised, let’s focus on the positives, as I’ve found considerably more than in the original instalment! First of all, the graphics and animations have improved and make for a more visually pleasing game no matter what console you’re playing on, be it PlayStation or PC. Much of your sniping and shooting is done within the realms of this story. The game follows this story lead, weaving in and out of locations and throwing in twists to keep it interesting. This is the kind of game that is awesome with the sound cranked up or with some surround sound. The sound of the weapons, the enemies talking and explosions all add up to make you feel like you are in a war. The presentation is a big step up from the last game, but what really gets you going is the sound design. This leads to a lot of frustration, especially as this game is very tough! Dolby Delights This sounds ok in theory, but sometimes it can be like 30-45 minutes between the start of a level and the checkpoint. Checkpoints happen after every major part of the campaign. The one thing that truly does knock at least a point off this game is the checkpoint system. Sneaking around or laying in wait for a passing by enemy will be things that you do a great deal in this game. You can do this by sniping of course, but stealth kills with your knife are a huge part of the game. Stealth is the real name of the game here, sure there are some great set-pieces here and there, but for the most part, killing undetected is what you need to do. This is the kind of game where you need to try and make each shot count.
If you end up in the wrong area, you better believe they will come running into finish you off. If you find a great sniping spot and take a bunch of them down, they will figure it out and start sniping you back. Playing the campaign, the AI will try and outsmart you. They have fixed that with Sniper Ghost Warrior 2. One of the main criticisms thrown the way of the first game was the dumb as a rock AI. This game is like the highest-budget Netflix original movie.
SNIPER GHOST WARRIOR 2 ENDING MOVIE
If a Call of Duty game is like playing through a 200-million-dollar movie made by Paramount. While it may not be on the same level as a Call of Duty or a Battlefield in terms of the sheer scope of the theatrics, I do feel that they come pretty damn close.
I liked how much variety there was to the story with missions taking place in places like the Philippines and Sarajevo. The story jumps between the 90s and the modern-day and it is done very, very well. You play as a captain in the Marines called, Cole Anderson. If you love war movies then you will love the story that is told in the campaign of Sniper Ghost Warrior 2. This is still a “thinking persons” shooter that is more about using tactics and stealth. I do think they fixed many of those issues. This game is a huge improvement over what came before it and I think they learned a great deal from the criticism that they got before. Many people will be quick to tell you that this game is just “ok” and I would have to agree with that. Even though Sniper Ghost Warrior 2 has a 2 in the title this is actually the third entry in the series.
