Sniper: Ghost Warrior Contracts 2: Video Game Overview

Series Sniper: Ghost Warrior From Polish Studio Ci Games from 2010 and all this time is in a state “neither there” – and not a typical Polish zero shooter, but not unconditional hit. Although in any case, along with the Sniper Elite series, remains the main thing for the sniper simulator. And here in Contracts 2, this simulator has become more complicated – for the first time in the series I shoot with such large distances.

Again an American against the dictator

Almost rising Ghost Warrior Plot cranberry – Often we fight against evil Russians, and the main characters naturally are elite American snipers, which, with the help of the most modern weapons, carry into fictional countries of the third world (or even real Georgia) democracy, freedom, human rights and other US values.

Special game turned out to be just in the first contracts, where the action was unfolded in the Siberian Republic separated from Russia. In the sequel in this sense, the degree of voltage is much lower – as Sniur-Profi, with the call sign Raven, we must destroy the next Middle Eastern dictator and its minions from all over the world that are part of a large criminal conglomerate.

Again the whole thing in oil.

The tasks are familiar – to eliminate the goal, turn off the radio hairs, which are shuffling the signal, download the supervirus in the supercomputer, to output the cooling system, save and cover the prisoner journalist, to arrange some other sabotage. There are purely sniper missions, there are, let’s say, mixed, where we alternate the shooter, stealth and aiming shooting from large distances. Against this background, the cranberry from the original looked brighter than, – clearly lacking nontrivial tasks in the spirit of the one when it was necessary to figure out who among the girls-scientists clone, and who real.

Looks like a game perfectly even in a mask mode, which still helps to navigate the terrain.

Far sit – all I will put!

Although they still do not have to miss. In the game, only five plot missions, but they all pass on large open cards, where there are also side contracts for eliminating particularly important (and unpleasant) goals. Plus, the test system is in place – kill two enemies with one shot, destroy five combat vehicles, send five to the forefans, hitting the fragmentation grenades on their belts, and so on.

But most importantly – there is non-linearity in how to destroy the main rascal, and therefore. Options, reflected in the tests, as a rule, exclude each other – are quietly hitting the goal or, on the contrary, blow it off;Kill, while driving in the elevator, or use a special ability.

For one passage to do everything definitely will not work.

Most often eliminate from very large distances (from a kilometer and more) without being able to approach. And the goal is either in the building, or is constantly moving, so the passage of such tests resembles a puzzle – you need to come up with how to lure or force a person to stay. It is possible, for example, by the aiming shots to destroy the communication antennas or a shield that regulates the lift on which BMP is worth.

Assistance in aiming greatly simplifies the solution of such tasks.

Dron to us insert

It is also important to change equipment for a specific contract or testing now allowed directly on locations. And if you did not fulfill the task, there is always an option to return with new equipment and abilities later.

Contracts, as in the first part, bring money to buy new guns and kites (silencers, optics, compensators, hybrid sights and so on), as well as tokens for opening new skills.

Weapons need to be selected and improved under specific tasks.

Abilities Everyone is also divided into four branches – “disguise and intelligence”, “secrecy and imperiency”, “Dron and turret”, “Equipment and gadgets”. Yes, we are still free to take with them to the mission of Drone, who not only explorates the terrain, attracts enemies and hacks the electronics, but also shoots poisoning darts.

Tour can indicate targets for lesions.

Plus, the sensors of the approximation, traps – deckures, mini-bait, bullets, attracting or marking enemies even through the walls, and armor-piercing ammunition that firmware.

Dron is also able to marry targets through obstacles.

Bots of nauboy

All this is designed to facilitate our sniper life, which in Ghost Warrior Contracts 2, On the one hand, really complicated. Get into target from such large distances when you need to make amendments and to the wind, and on the range, when any promasters are practically guaranteed that the target starts to run away, anxiety will rise and we don’t care more precisely.sniper rifles, and from “Kalash”!) – that’s really not easy.

Many tests require us to work without raising anxiety.

You have to either practic to understand what the Ballistics act is valid here (and this is not always clear!), or include assistance in aiming, inaccessible at the highest level of complexity.

Getting into Slou-Mo became more bloody.

On the other hand, when you adapt and understand, the game, on the contrary, may seem easy even on the “liquidator”. You will overpower it almost without the help of drones, turons and other cracked gadgets. Because the behavior of the AI remains ahilles fifth series. Yes, the enemies can detect, surround, fire and strain. But at the same time, they often stupidly stupidly, do not notice the dangers under their nose and the gous go to the sniper so that their heads are bursting into each other, as if ripe watermelons.

Even after the first hit, the enemy sniper does not change the position and does not react in any way.

Well, purely technical problems. Opponents (however, like the main character) get stuck in textures. With such a game, the game is still not too interesting as a shooter, despite the fact that this segment of the gameplay clearly tried to improve.

Quiet murders still perfectly help.

Yes, the Poles and Sniper: Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 could not make the perfect sniper simulator. But work on errors is visible to the naked eye. And the appearance of firing from very large distances and many ways (sometimes very nontrivial) elimination of goals go gameplay.

Pros: Pretty fascinating sniper gameplay;appearance of shooting from very large distances;The game perfectly looks and sounds.

Minuses: Banal plot;Weak AI;There are bugs.
