Basically, you just need to find a relatively decent and safe place to shoot from, since enemies are often far away. Just like a real sniper, you’ll need patience and a keenly observant eye of the environment around you. The size of the maps also means that players can’t really rush through the game. There are a total of five massive maps in the game, and objectives can be anything from destroying satellite antennas or killing specific targets. There’s always one main objective, as well as several side ones and even hidden ones (like special bounties and the like). The maps allow players to free roam and complete any objective (or contract) in any order they so wish. You can even go guns blazing in if you want to, or stealth kills enemies with close-quarter combat and knives one by one like you’re Solid Snake. The cycle in each map and mission is this go to the objective and locate enemies with your binoculars, before killing them any way that you want to. Playing into the fantasy of being a sniper, the game encourages a stealthy approach and sneaking around. The camera follows the bullet in slow-mo, ending with a load of blood and even heads freaking exploding. That’s incredibly far, and the best part of it all is the slow-motion cinematic camera sequence which activates every time you manage to hit a headshot or a nice kill from a distance. What distinguishes this entry from past games in the franchise is that enemy targets can now be located over a whopping 1000 metres away for the first time ever. The story is pretty rote and typical for any game like this, and you’re probably in it just for the sniper fantasy. Players assume the role of a protagonist named Raven, who’s basically just there to sound edgy all the time and spew out one-liners, like any movie action hero since the 80s. Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 is a modern warfare FPS set in the Middle East.
If that’s all you want, then this game definitely delivers in spades, but nothing much else. I’m sure that anyone who’s even interested in this game has a fantasy of being a badass deadeye sharpshooter expert. That headline perfectly encapsulates what Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 is about.
