Multiplayer V2 supports online multiplayer where players engage in cooperative play in a series of game modes. The game will also measure notable shots by briefly displaying distance and other factors like whether it was a head shot or moving target. This method can also be used against military vehicles by targeting fuel tanks and valves. Sniping can also be used to shoot the enemies' own grenades triggering an explosion. Another ability is when the player character is spotted, their last movements and position to the enemy is shown as a white-outlined figure, potentially allowing the player to escape that area and avoid further detection and alarms being raised.Ī major feature of V2 is the "X-Ray Kill Cam" where upon a successful and skilled shot will in slow motion follow the bullet from the sniper rifle to the target where upon impact will show an anatomically correct x-ray style reveal of the body part being hit and the damage the bullet causes to the organs and bones. In different postures such as crouching or lying down on the front can also steady a shot, however the player character also has the ability to take a deep breath to further steady a shot and from their perspective slow down time. When using the sniper rifle however, certain elements can determine the outcome of a shot, taking realistic ballistics into consideration including wind direction and strength and bullet drop potentially altering the shot through the scope.īullets can ricochet off surfaces or targets and strike others. Binoculars can be used to tag enemies in view, displaying their position and movements to player. In addition to hand grenades, the player can deploy them as tripwire booby traps, land mines and dynamite.

The sniper rifle is the primary weapon throughout the game, though additional side arms are available including sub-machine guns and pistols, silenced or not depending on the situation. Set in World War II, the player character utilises appropriate weapons for the era. Many of the single player levels allow multiple routes for the players to take, including multistory buildings and side streets to get vantage points and avoid direct firefights.
