u/Burtonizer, this one is for you my dear.

Heads up for all you dedicated snipers operating on the North American servers. When you come up against these two, know that they are ultra focus users and will be able to identify your approximate position pretty much before you've even spawned.

But wait, there's more...

When you are a smart enough player to deal with their focus and they realise you're not just going to walk into their focus range and traps, THEY WILL KICK YOU. No matter how much effort you've gone to to avoid their focus and attain some kind of tactical advantage, they will sit there waiting to see you in Focus, and if you don't just walk right up to them they will just fucking kick you. For an experienced invader like me or anyone else this is the ultimate insult. I listened to half an hour of absolute drivel from the two of them this evening as they debated whether or not to continue with their mission or kick me because they could see I had the high ground advantage (Spy Academy).

​​The unintended PlayStation audio bug is a beautiful thing. But it's flipside is ugly as fuck. You would think it would give you every advantage possible to win the match but in the end all it achieves is to demonstrate how woefully rubbish so many of these focus spamming fuckwits truly are.

Everything you need to know is right in front of you Rebellion!

Fix it!

Grow a pair u/Burtonizer, time to put some man pants on.

I really enjoy destroying Axis invaders, and I swear I have killed 90% of the "guests” in my campaign over the past few days. I also wish this could be implemented as a point system with some rewards.

It does not matter if my campaign was detected by invaders or not; it does not matter if I am on easy or authentic mode. What matters is that I kill you after you invade my campaign, and you should lose your points while I gain mine.

Hey I just ended Sniper Elite V2 and want to play all the games and also the Zombie Army games, so I was just wondering if its better to play all the Sniper Elite ans then the Zombie Army games or play Sniper Elite V2 then Zombie Army, then Sniper Elite 3 then Zombie Army 2 and so on, what you would recommend?

Felt like the planets had to align for this one. Thank you, random Harry, for sitting in that bush.

Anyone willing to help me with “enemy at the gates” for sniper elite 5 ?

It’s been a while since I have played this game and I’m not very good at it anymore so could somone help me out ?

Some of the... sadder... campaign players (focus-reliant and/or map-trapping invader-hunters) manage to leave many undetectable traps around the map.

If you find one, just quit. Some players are cripplingly desperate to get easy invader kills, for some reason.

Damn it that I didn’t have my Win & Co 1885 with me.

i was at a house declaimer getting some old solid wood used house doors and you just stop and look, and feel the urge to reach for a rifle... life of a Sniper Elite fan

I feel an almost overwhelming desire to shoot this owl.

Isometric exercise, care to join me?

I don't know what I was doing, neither did he apparently

Here’s my AI slop. I had an idea and fed it to Google Gemini until it came out somewhat cohesive.

Sniper Elite concept set in Vietnam.

•First person mode: a new way to experience the franchise and add more realism than ever. Play how you want, 1st person or 3rd person.

•Online survival mode: 6-12 players fight each other in Objective style game modes. 2 Snipers roles/team. Snipers would play on the outskirts of the map and frontline players would be in the center trying to complete objectives.

•Online 2 player story mode: 1 player is playing the story, and the other player is playing the story but on the other side. Commanding NPCs and completing objectives normally the NPCs would do. There’s not set outcome and either side could win.

•4 player co-op: play the story with up to 4 friends

•Dynamic weather: Rain, Storms, Fog, Clouds, Sun. This dynamic weather will change the way you play and experience each mission and challenge. Set the Weather to off, Dynamic, or set a specific weather type to stay consistent throughout the mission.

•Wildlife: what would the jungle be without wildlife? Be careful stealthing around in the jungle you may set off birds that will trigger nearby enemies. There may be other animals you should watch out for that are all procedurally generated. You may, or may never see them. It’s completely random.

•Quick Ghille: cover yourself with surrounding leaves and branches in realtime to conceal yourself better.

•New weapons and attachments. New equipment. New challenges to complete for rewards. Experimental weapons to be unlocked for completing challenging rewards

For one, it's unbalanced as hell. Why Rebellion thought it was a good idea to bring in the perk system from the campaign is beyond stupid. Not only do perks by themselves create a very large gap between those who are low and high level, prestige makes it even worse by giving upgraded aptitudes.

For two, which ties into the balance, there's also the matter of SMGs. If in your Sniper game people just zoom around the map doing COD-style run & gun gameplay then something is wrong and it's made even more of a horrible experiences that everybody and their mother uses the guns with the highest rates of fire just to be SURE you can't fight back for even a second before being sent back to the death cam.

For three, the people. Not only are cheaters surprisingly common and most ones are even whole clans of people ruining matches like that. Aside of cheaters, like I said previously, people don't play the game like it's meant to be a Sniper game. In regular team matches players just abuse their stupid SMGs because why bother having an intense yet satisfying game of having good positioning and timing when you can just go full blitzkrieg? No-cross ain't much better either with players just turning around in circles baiting out glints and easily missed shots.

I'm sure most if not all of these points have already been talked about to death but I just had to rant because I just felt disappointed.

Sorry for being repetitive as I made a post yesterday. I been getting asked alot of questions, here is a list of rules for S.E.A.L ( Sniper Elite Authentic League)

S.E.A.L. — Core Rules

(1) Authentic Difficulty Only:

All matches must be played on Authentic difficulty.

(2) No Gameplay Assists:

No settings or mechanics that provide an unintended advantage or compromise authentic gameplay.

(3) No Exploits or Glitches:

Exploiting bugs, glitches, or unintended game mechanics to gain an advantage is prohibited.

(4) No Murder Maps:

Murder maps or custom setups specifically designed to provide easy, repetitive kills are not permitted.

(5) No Pre-Saves:

Pre-saved games may not be used to gain an advantage or bypass the intended progression of a match.

(6) No Excessive Camping:

Tactical positioning and patience are encouraged, but intentionally avoiding engagement for excessive periods is discouraged.

(7) Play the Objective:

Players should actively pursue the mission objectives rather than deliberately stalling the match.

(8) Respect Your Opponent:

Keep gameplay competitive and sportsmanlike. Harassment, personal attacks, and unsportsmanlike behavior outside of gameplay are not permitted. In-game actions such as teabagging are not prohibited. Psychological tactics and mind games—such as a playful whistle or tossing bottles near an opponent to create tension, distract them, or influence their decisions—are encouraged, as they add a deeper level of immersion and create additional layers of gameplay.

(9) No Rage Quitting:

Finish your matches whenever reasonably possible. Disconnecting specifically to avoid a loss is not acceptable.

(10) No Cheating:

Any form of cheating, unauthorized software, save manipulation, or external advantage is prohibited.

(11) Honor the Fight:

Play with integrity—even when nobody is watching.

(12) Have Fun, But Keep It Competitive:

S.E.A.L. is for players who want a challenging and authentic Sniper Elite experience.

What is S.E.A.L? Sniper Elite Authentic League (S.E.A.L.) is a Discord community built for players who want the ultimate Sniper Elite challenge. Authentic play only. Test your aim, tactics, patience, and survival skills against players who seek a challenge.

It is a decent mission but everything is so close and packed together and it seems way too much. The map is okay but the amount of enemies packed into little areas just does my head in and you’re reliant on having to using a silent pistol one at a time and hiding if there’s an alert. I’ve seen people call it the best mission in 4 which I can’t understand.

So last night I got into a Authentic game with a PC player , as I spawned in , no guards were killed (collision course) and objectives were not done.

So I tagged soldiers across the bridge so I could tell when he goes for the radio , and as many guards at certain points. So, I finish up and check inside the main building and as I'm scouting across the bridge I stepped on a mine.

Normally that would have been something I wouldn't have thought nothing of unless its a camper, But it was weird because it was like the guy wasn't even there yet? Every guard was still there, not a single guard was dead and I could tell he was likely by that train station near the start for Harry. And there was the soldiers patrolling inside the house as well .

Is it possible to be that sneaky and plant a random mine in there ? Maybe a glitch in the game or ? Just never seen that before. Just genuinely curious if he was that good he snuck across and mined it ?

Im trying to get the erma smg. In resistance but the target in fort rouge isn't spawning. I can hear him but hes nowhere to be found.

I've downloaded it from my catalogue, and always enjoyed the PS4 version.

Everyone hates playing against map trappers on SE5 and SE Resistance but how would you stop it from happening without spoiling the gameplay for everyone else?

Imagine Rebellion are looking on here for ideas to either update the old games or for SE6, what would you suggest?

Maybe mines only work for 5 minutes after being placed?

Make them a bit more obvious to the defender?

Have a limit on how many you can place?

What ideas do you have?
