Almost went and picked this up at gamestop tonight. Still wondering about the AI and how open the maps are. Can't wait to hear some impressions.

Hopefully picking this up after work tomorrow. Will post some impressions. This might be the only game I buy this year, depending on when GTA comes out.

Well so far, in my opinion, the single player campaign is kinda of pedestrian. Nothing amazing or awful. However I have really enjoyed the multiplayer for the PC. It really rewards being patient and strategic unlike most shooters nowadays. I was on a great server today in which everybody had mics and the whole game had us discussing strategy and how to best out maneuver our opponents. We formed a plan where one guy would run out and draw all the opposing snipers out while one teammate acted as a spotter. We managed a 8 to 1 kill ratio to beat the opposing team in the last 2 minutes. By far one of the best multiplayer experiences I have had in a while. I can see myself really getting into the multiplayer for this game. It's completely different to most shooters today.

Edit: by the way change your load out to the KAR98 for your rifle in vs. Multi player. By far the best rifle in the game.

Only played single player so far(will do co-op later when brother in law grabs it)..
So far so good. The AI is "ok" but for me the fun is in how much destruction to bodies I can do. I've only done the first 3 levels also so take that into consideration. They were a tutorial "mission", then the demo mission that continues after the tank shows up and one more.
As far as being "open"..it's hit or miss so far.
I mean there were some areas that I could go around different ways but there were also many buildings that wee closed off and would have been better if they were all open. So not linear but not a total open world either. Again it may open up more later as I'm not that far.
Each mission also has "collectibles" (Gold and bottles)...something I didn't notice until after my 3rd mission.... so yeah I'll be replaying it.

It delivers fun and at 10.00 off normal pricing it's worth it for me as I prefer "lone wolf" games more and there aren't that many to choose from.
Probably the coolest thing I did so far was to take my time and get into position for a 1 shot, 2 kill moment.

So not a GOTY candidate for sure but a game worth checking out if the type of game suits you...

Sounds fun! I held off on preordering since I got ME3 cheap last week, but I'll just get this used sometime and have fun with it. Should get it for a great deal in a couple months I bet.

Ok 1 thing that really ticks me off to no end.....
Only 1 save...
I was 3 missions in and decided to go back to redo earlier missions for the collectibles and once I got past a checkpoint it overwrote my save.

Can someone with PC version let us know if thats the case on PC?

One save games really piss me off...

Well...at least you don't have to look for ribbons and typewriters. I've still never forgiven Resident Evil

Re: Sniper Elite 2 (xbox 360, ps3, PC)

To those that have this: is the full game as linear as the demo made it seem to be? I don't expect it to be GTA: Germany or anything, but I do like the ability to roam a little more than in the demo.....Either way I will be picking up my pre-order 5/5/12

After 2 levels on the PC version - I would say yes. They block any attempt to "explore" with well placed boxes and building debris.

Re: Sniper Elite 2 (xbox 360, ps3, PC)

This game is a lot more difficult than I thought it would be. I would say it's linear, but I don't explore in most of my games anyway. It does have online for xbox so if anyone wants to play, hit me up.

Re: Sniper Elite 2 (xbox 360, ps3, PC)

Well I haven't found any Nazi gold or bottles to shoot so there must be something to explore.

Well you can explore the area they give you...but it ain't open/free roam style of game.
