About an hour in to the mission I discovered that Nazis are actually kinda dumb and you don’t really have to be very careful at medium difficulty.
Also, i don’t understand why there are non-lethal options in this game, but I suspect there may be liberalism afoot.
I should note - If I did knock a Nazi out I specifically went back and shot them in the head. Those ten guys were accidents. Would have gotten them if I could.
Sniper elite introduced non-lethal options because it’s always been a knock off shooter, and the stealth shooters in 2014 during Sniper 3’s release all had non-lethal. Back when V2 came out, Nazi zombies were a huge deal so they made a Nazi zombies mode. To my knowledge there isn’t really any effect on the game other than making it harder, it’s a difficulty challenge.
Idk, the sniper elite guys make really fun gameplay loops but can’t seem to make anything else. The levels and AI have always been kinda designed like shit.
New political compass just dropped.
I’m playing this game now! I also don’t understand why there’s any lean towards taking it easy on nazis. If ever there was a group who deserved no sympathy or mercy, it’s them.
Fun game.
I mean, nonlethal stealth is a compelling mechanic in games like Metal Gear Solid and Hitman, but here it’s lmao.
In the multiplayer to one of the Splinter Cell games, Chaos Theory maybe, one side played like an fps and they were mercenaries with lethal guns. The other side were ninjas in third person who had smoke bombs and you could bug their communicators and such. If you were a ninja who successfully snuck up on a merc you could get them in a choke hold and talk to them before you killed them. Apropos of nothing, really, but I really liked that game and wanted to talk about it.
Yeah I thought the non-lethal stuff might allow interrogation or something, so I tried it. No dice.
MGS doesn’t let me watch their balls explode in x-ray slow motion.
Was playing this co-op with a friend, and he was going around knocking the Nazis unconscious
So I went around shooting them in the face while they were incapacitated
Teamwork makes the dream work.
If your mission is to take out a specific high level target then there could be good reason to take a non lethal approach to a mission. That said, a non lethal approach to Nazis is ridiculous, kill them all with no quarter given.
