Realistic weapons and ballistics
The developers of the Sniper Elite put a great focus on the realism of what it meant to be a sniper during World War II. Authentic simulation of bullet ballistics will require you to aim precisely and take many aspects into consideration before pulling the trigger. The game lets you take different poses, as crouching or laying on the ground, in order to better your weapon handling. You can even hold your breath to keep it even steadier and take a sure shot.
As for the firearms, Karl has access not only to his sniper rifle, but also to a number of different weapons. Submachine guns, pistols and light machine guns will all be at your disposal, although your trusted sniper rifle will always be your main firearm. Moreover, you will also be able to toss a grenade (or even shoot a grenade in your enemy's hand in order to make it explode in his face). Add some booby traps and anti-tank weapons, and you will be all-set to tackle your mission properly!
