ONE MAN ARMY! Can You Beat LANDING FORCE Like A Loud Lunatic? [Sniper Elite 5]

LOL sniper jaeger has fled the game, guess he saw who it was...

Karl: “better keep to the shadows” *proceeds to shoot a guard with a shotgun*

[@Nifter71]

Nice! Your series is definitively proving that, yes, you can play SE5 like a Loud Lunatic! Is it harder? I'd say no, not at all, cos you can keep fucking up, and still survive! But as you know, one fuck-up while stealthing, and your whole goddamn stealth-mission is in jeopardy! I don't think it would take much tweaking for SE to reward super-stealthy play. Even just a massive points bonus? Yeah, I played SE3 stealthily as much as possible.. hence I spent the whole fckng game crouching... cos as soon as you run, they can hear you miles away! I do love the setting, atmosphere, lighting, music etc. in SE3, but SE4 was waaaaay ahead, in terms of gameplay. Better for stealth than SE5 too, I think. Sometimes enemies in SE5 just seem unbelievably blind. And the option to shoot down the sights with secondaries in SE5 is great, but sniping is just too easy now. One thing that occurred to me again watching this.. if SE5 ever introduces an Authentic Plus mode... it's pretty silly the way Karl can return fire from his secondary weapon with one hand? I really think that you should only be able to use your sidearm while wounded... especially now that wounded enemies have been reduced to using only their sidearms in SE5. The Loud Lunatic style would certainly be more challenging if that were the case! BTW for future stealthy shenanigans on this level... if you hide in a bush, and get your timing right, you can chuck a bottle to stop the motorbike-sidecar on its rounds, lead the cyclists away, booby-trap their vehicle with a grenade, & wait for them to return! Or try the same with the staff car when they stop and enter the church in Atlantic Wall. It's very satisfying! Regarding future videos... this chap specialises in all stealth/no kills playthroughs. Some great play there, but you can FEEL the countless hours sunk into learning the position and patrol routes of all the guards! www.youtube.com/@Core2TOM/videos Anyway... what I'm really looking forward to is your play-through of SE1! On max difficulty, Sniper Elite 1 the hardest game in the series IMO: just brutally unsympathetic to the player! And there ain't no self-healing while returning fire like in some John Woo flick lol

I’ve seen a couple of Core2TOM’s videos and it’s absolutely impressive. The amount of practice and timing to do it is something I’ve experienced doing silent assassin suit only runs in the Hitman series and it’s all about timing and restarting as soon as that timing fails. One mission can take hours of practice and that dedication and commitment is why it’s so impressive. It’s also the reason I will never be that good at it because I don’t have that kind of time. Fortunately watching me fail can be quite amusing, so that’s the attitude I’m taking, although my practice runs so far have actually been pretty successful for the most part. Did a run at spy academy the other day and had 2 kills because a sniper fell through the floor after my melee takedown animation ended (the other was the target, who I knocked out and threw off the cathedral tower for fun). I am going to do a video on Sniper Elite 1 at some point, probably using period correct hardware as I’ve had trouble running it on my current system (speed issues mostly), so that should be… fun!? 😂

[@12cm32]

Core2TOM is a great channel highly recommend

[@Nifter71]

@@duckwit85 For sure, I'm also all about the stealth, but when it kicks off (as it usually does for me at some point lol), I just run with it... And sometimes, there's nothing better than when it all goes to shit and you're cornered, and in a proper fix!

[@duckwit85]

​@@Nifter71 I've tended to be a 'reload the last save and try again' type of player when the subterfuge is ruined, until I'd eventually lose patience, burn out and just start blasting everyone in sight until I'd quit to do something more productive in the real world. When I discovered that people actually did 'kill everyone' challenges (in Hitman, at least) I was amazed that I wasn't the only one who had been doing it, even if I was only doing it through exhaustion! I played Metal Gear Solid 3 on PS3 a few years ago, did a no-kill run through. It was going perfectly. There's a section later in that game where you have to walk up a stream, and you have to avoid the ghosts of those you have killed. I was about a minute into it and a single solitary ghost came wandering towards me. Fuck! I finished it with that single kill. With hindsight I think his unconcious body fell off a very wobbly bridge as I walked past him right at the start of the game. I was gutted. Since then I have tended to go with the flow more. Plus the older I get, the less patient I am. 🤣

[@Nifter71]

@@duckwit85 Oh indeed! I should have said that when I said 'stealth', I also meant 'KILL EVERYONE' lol. I never leave a map uncleared!

[@bigiron1990]

idk man. I got into the series again with 5. (I played 3 years ago but dont remember it.) I'm currently playing 4 for the first time and while I enjoy it I like the bigger maps of 5 and I like it tells me how far enemies can hear my shots from so when I play on authentic and I wanna be stealthy i can plan accordingly. I just prefer the way weapons are done in every way in 5.

[@ExpectedBoy]

Agree with this. The customisation of weapons makes a big difference. More than I'd initially realised. I was playing 4 last night and thinking man why can't I customise the Nagant or Springfield.

[@rurt5010]

God jobb like it

[@deneofarrell496]

Look forward to your videos on S E 4especially on authentic plus, the drilling in S E 4, is a better weapon than in S E 5, inmy humble opinion.

[@12cm32]

Love playing as a loud lunatic, but winchester is weapon of choice, quicker to switch ammo type and 1 hit kills... Toss up drilling and sjo, pistol whatever

[@gmylonas]

Great job as always....

[@ExpectedBoy]

For me, while 4 was better in a lot of ways (more long shots, slightly better designed maps, specifically for sniping), I prefer to play 5. Gun customisation is brilliant, as is stats showing audible range etc.

[@marceljays6858]

You might use the Grabenkanone instead of the Drilling 😎😉 More fire rate, more fun 😅

[@LeanAndMean44]

I thought this was the Sjögren inertia. No, it was the Drilling as shown in the loadout in the very end of the video.

[@LeanAndMean44]

But the firing rate of Grabenkanone isn’t high. It just has six bullets.

[@marceljays6858]

@@LeanAndMean44 Drilling has 3 😁 🤷‍♂️

[@vladtheimpala457]

Maybe for the non-lethal run, you take out your high value targets with "accidental" kills, e.g. falling out of a window, standing under a chandelier, shot by their own tank etc BTW 28:00 Love the pop-up nazi

[@duckwit85]

28:00 is the new 'Whac-a-Nazi' minigame. I did a practice run the other day on Spy Academy where I threw an unconcious Fabien Richter off the side of the cathedral tower... does that count? ;)
