    I wish they'd make a really good modern sniper game where you're some SEAL out in remote areas of the world taking out targets. Ala the first COD Modern Warfare game where you have to blow that guy away from the roof while he's at the meeting.

    All kinds of conflict nowadays in Africa, the Middle East, South America, some great locations to design and play in I would think.

    That said the demo for this was great despite my sort of apathy for WW2 settings anymore, my kid watched and it and ran out of the room when she saw me blow a guys head off.

    I'd love something along the modern lines as well, especially with all the fun custom and situational ammo they have now.

    And having fired one (handy having family in the military, w/ lots of loose cash), anything that will let me digitally get behind the scope of an Accuracy International AX338 (it lacks the OMG and anti-materiel factor of the various .50cal loadouts, but the .338 Lapua is my favorite long range centerfire cartridge spec) will be bought on principle.

    As for Sniper Elite, love the first one, will have to look into getting this one, sadly due to bills and Kickstarters it'll be next month at the earliest before i can snag it.

    No matter where you go...there you are.

    You feel bad for killing Hitler?

    I...uh...what?

    edit: Still wondering if anyone bought it off getgamesgo for 30 bucks and got a code today or not. It basically sounds like you could buy the game off the site and play today with the DLC. Unless you're not in the US, then it'll be a preload.

    I haven't killed Hitler yet I'm playing through the campaign.

    I shot a Russian and there was only 1 ball dangling there. :(

    Not enough supplies for the entire army. Once he went down, I'm sure the man behind him picked it up.

    I tried to buy this but Steam is not accepting the debit card that I have used literally forever on there, and there's plenty of money in the account. Oh well.

    A lot of the pages I open on Steam aren't working, so I'd assume they're being wonky.

    Has anyone tried co-op or multiplayer? I'm wondering if those are any fun. Also, are the x ray kills in multiplayer?

    Alot of online retailers don't seem to think this game is out now.

    Sniper Elite V2 on amazon isn't sold by Amazon but rather 505 Games. and it says it usually ships between 1-4 weeks...

    Other places like Gamestop, Gamefly and Best Buy all have differing opinions on release date. Some say 5-2-12, others say 5-3-12. Best Buy says 5-1-12 but still has the game listed as "coming soon". Ugh, am I going to have to actually stop at a brick and mortar place? How pedestrian... :P

    Everyone has a price. Throw enough gold around and someone will risk disintegration.

    I liked multi player. Much slower paced than your usual death match run and gun games. Only did a few maps but they were pretty big with lots of cover/sniping points. For the games I was in, they were 20 minute affairs, with conditions set to sniper rifles only, which definitely was fun.

    I can't remember if there were X-ray shots but I'm fairly sure there were cinematic slowmo shots.

    I'm eager to spend more time doing multi for sure, even though I'm pretty terrible at it.

    For anyone who was wondering about the getgames thing -

    I'm in the US, I saw the getgames site after Steam kept messing up as I tried to buy it there. I bought it for 29.99 (US dollars) and the CD key and DLC preorder key was immediately in my account info and also mailed to me, and it redeemed immediately on Steam.

    So, if you're looking to get it, get it there... you'll save 20 bucks and you can still get the preorder bonus.

    I dunno if it's because I played so much day of defeat and call of duty 1 back in the day, but WW2 games like define PC gaming for me.

    Heh, nice two-fer shot at the start of the "demo" mission, Shifty.

    In the tutorial mission, right before the end? I shot the fuel tank on that truck and took out a few of them in the blast. Now I'm always looking for conveniently placed gas tanks.

    If any of you want to do co-op a bit later on, feel free to add me. Going to get acclimated with the game a bit first.

    Doc's stream has sold me on the game. I've decided I need to castrate nazis now, rather than later.

    Sadly, will take about 3 hours to download.

    No matter where you go...there you are.

    Are the co-op missions mode specific or just the SP stuff?

    Apparently he has both of 'em. Someone got the shot and youtubed it. I'm going to demand a refund. :P

    Oh well. Still, shooting Hitler in the nuts is something generations of people have wanted to do for a long time.

    Man, I can't kill Hitler. He runs and hides like a little bitch the entire time. And I'm assuming once the tank comes, that's it. Because he won't move after that. He just stays behind a wall the whole time.

    No, you have to kill the tank, then he'll make one last run to the train.

    And has a smug angry look as he escapes that really makes me want to send a bullet into his mustache. But yeah, ultimate fail is if he gets to the train.

    Edit: also, did you guys get your pre- order guns? I didn't have access to them last night and was all sad face. apparently a steam thing that simply requires a restart, will try tonight.

    I was playing the demo on the PS3 about 20minutes ago and I saw the same thing happen! You can also see bits of the intestines fly out too.

    The best part is how the normally retarded video game eyes that point wherever the fuck they want to just go to make this image even more unnerving. Like, the force of the bullet is pushing them out of position.

    Based on how Multiplayer turns out, i'll probably have a dedicated server up soon.

    Also @HallowedFaith that server would be awesome. We need to snipe each other.

    Holy crap. I was replaying the demo because unfortunately I don't have enough cash to get the full game right now and I made a dude explode by shooting the bullets he had on his chest. Oh man this game is amazing.
