Theres a guy I ran into several times on xbox. He only ran on the factory level with the smelter building. He booby trapped all invader spawn points and stayed in the same spot. Everytime someone invaded, they'd die. If they accept a rety, the traps would reset.
Just wanted to say that youtube randomly recommended one of your videos to me and I really like these type of videos, you're pleasant and entertaining to listen to.
I’ve been playing Axis Invasion now for the past few hours, and he’s right, this mode is very addictive, mainly when you kill the player. There’s just a rush of excitement when you either snipe the enemy, or wait in ambush and get them when they think they’re safe. The mode is definitely enjoyable, but is definitely catered more towards those who have played the Sniper Elite series, as anyone unfamiliar would find themselves woefully unprepared for what they should be doing.
I like it but I just feel Karl has too many advantages , the listen more telling you were the jaer is being able to use the phone instantly and 2 times without it spotting him like the jaer does , co op ( co op listen mode is so broken ) also the difficulty and settings being tailored to the host makes the mode vary so much
@@pieprincess5778It definitely nerfs you but since you're on the 'enemy' side I'd say it's fair. Your advantage is that you're surrounded by friendlies :P Honestly it just makes it more satisfying when you manage to kill the Ally sniper/s.
Very much enjoy playing co-op, and operating as a spotter + sniper pair when the Jäger arrives. Totally understand the sentiment 'every game feels unique' too. With invasions on, the level gets that added excitement from time to time. Rematches with a skillful player are also a great way to learn, for when you want to switch back to being the Jäger too
Celebrating 300+ dead Karls with the Sniper Jäger! I think part of why this series' gotten a lot of mileage is how you generally try to take things slow, and narrate your thought process as you try to track down the enemy sniper. Having a calm and jovial disposition at all times, even when you've been outsmarted and bested, helps matters too. (Also the fact that a sizable number of opponents you're up against at least know what they're doing; seems like a good amount of Axis Invasion videos on TH-cam are little more than long montages of dunking on people who don't even know which end of their rifle the bullet comes out of.) Have you considered playing as the the opposition for a video, playing the campaign with Axis Invasions turned on and taking all comers?
Love these videos, especially the challenge vids where you choose a specific loadout for a character! I'd love to see you play through the campaign with Axis Invasion enabled so you can see what it's like, could be fun sniping other players while trying to finish the objectives.
I usually just trawl but in this case I will make an exception. I find your "adventures" here my work stress relief. So a big thank you from me for keeping this channel going and posting your videos,
Just started playing invasion today, 8 kills, but I got humbled a lot more. Came to watch some videos for tips and see others play and yours was best by far, I subbed towards end of video and then heard the Goldeneye music and knew I'd made the right decision 😂
What's nice about the dark souls style multiplayer, in this, is that even when you have multiple people it doesn't feel completely out of your favour. Although I wish the X-ray vision wasn't a thing.
Brilliant video mate I've only recently started playing Sniper Elite 5 but haven't gotten around to invasion yet I wanna get used to the game and its DLCs I've just bought the Hitler Berghoff DLC and the Sabotage DLC I'm gonna get the rest and probably start playing Axis invasion somewhere in between it all. It looks a hella fun.
I can’t believe how much fun I have with invasions and I’m kicking myself for putting it off this long… being invaded though, that’s nerve racking hahahaha
Agreed, I am a total hypocrite, I love invading (over 300 kills now) but I hate being invaded so I usually turn them off when I'm playing campaign, lol.
I got 0 kills as an invader, and 864 kills against invaders. I love getting invaded, the cat and mouse, who can catch the other off guard first, who will slip up first, can I set up traps in advance from being invaded to give myself the edge? This is a great one and I am excited for the eventual release of the next one!
Yeah third person is always an issue with pvp games, and this game has the camera approximately 3 lightyears away from the player so it's extremely easy to peek corners. If this same concept was done but with forced first person, it would be chefs kiss
A possible solution to third-person peeking would be greying out the field of vision that the character can't see and excluding the ability to see characters (NPCs, players) within this zone, though preserving being able to see objects that are being moved and effects.
@@cdgonepotatoes4219 IRRC wasn't it the game SCUM that did something like that? Where you can't see other players if your physical head wasn't able to see them? It's an interesting concept I wish more games copied, especially if they're going to be PVP.
@@Dorraj I have no idea, but it's possible that it was already implemented somewhere. It's not a crazy idea, and arguably you could say such a feature has already been a staple in other genres of games as the "fog of war". Another implementation, and the one I'm referencing to the most in my head, is in the topdown game SS13. SS13 is not just one game, but some of the communities that broadly stay within the same concept do implement a line-of-sight system through this cone of vision you project wherever your character is pointing to, to limit situational awareness in the topdown format that the game is. I'm not sure why it hasn't become popular if a game already implemented it, you'd figure it would be the "spark" to push at least the modding communities in milsim games to try it.
@@douglascasale8367 isn't there a flare gun in the bunker just before the railyard? It's somewhere in that area... quite handy for taking out the tanks by the main gate
There are two flare guns in Secret Weapons. One is in the bunker like @thecreativeminimalist described. Another one is in the tank area. It is in front of the main gate.
I find it difficult to find players in axis invasion sometimes. I wish they made it to where you could play this in offline mode and the Ai allied sniper just moved from objective to objective in a random order each time. Infinite replayability if this was a reality and you could also up the difficulty for the allied sniper. That would be a blast to play when there aren’t people playing with axis invader enabled.
This mode is very addictive as the invader. Racked up 500 kills and then said to myself I'd stop playing (Well that was a lie) Now I'm creeping past 1000 kills 😂
I started playing Axis Invasion 2 weeks age, and i can honestly say....Yes I am addicted! I vowed to stop after the first 100 kills, but that did not happen!
all tho half these maps are more close range combat, I love this game especially Invasion I've played this game since day one and almost got 2000 confirmed kills, yh tbf I think I should take a break 😅
Thanks for the laughs yet again! I really enjoy your vids good sir. One suggestion for a future vid - maybe you could try invasion on authentic difficulty? I recently finished SE5 on authentic, went back to SE4 and did the same and I gotta say the games' aren't half as good on lower difficulties. Sure they're nice to have for people new to the series but anyone enjoying these should definitely try the harder modes. Stripping away all the crutches makes it much more immersive and tense.
Do you ever play with the host settings on? It would be cool to see you invade a player in authentic difficulty and have to use the different settings.
Love invasion mode, but I wish you could select the difficulty you invade. Really prefer authentic, but I refuse to play cadet or anything with no bullet drop
"Blow up the barrel," did you know that the invader cannot blow up explosives? I tried on Spy Academy, two co-opers were right next to an explosive barrel, I shot it and... Nothing happened. I think only the campaign player bullets can "ignite" the explosive ordenance.
The mechanic where u marked the enemy in the guillie in the grass was trash. That shoudlnt happen, then u can just scan the whole map without actually spotting the enemy. Otherwise interesting video.
Its so disappointing they made it 3rd person. Being able to see over cover and around walls completely ruins the tension and completely breaks the basics of tactics
I mean it's the fifth game in a long-running franchise and the guy getting invaded has a built-in "focus mode" where he just gets wallhacks so, idk. I don't think the game is trying to be "tactical" mate.
What time/day are you online? I’d like to see how you get on against me. Another you tuber called tomographic tried and failed miserably. I’m the guy that got him with an excellently placed mine at the bottom of the mud slide on secret weapons. Parkz Darkz is the tag. Gooier cheese, there’s your challenge! 👍🏽
2:48
That facial expression is meme-worthy; it's really got some "this is fine"-vibes
I feel like 2:45 deserves a runner-up for "derpiest face in a warzone". I'd be miffed if I got shot and this was the face of the man who killed me
You should do some gameplay of being invaded, I want to see how you deal with some skilled invaders would be cool.
Thats a great idea
It’d have to be authentic or a variation of custom without radar.
This
Theres a guy I ran into several times on xbox. He only ran on the factory level with the smelter building. He booby trapped all invader spawn points and stayed in the same spot. Everytime someone invaded, they'd die. If they accept a rety, the traps would reset.
Look up DuckWit that’s pretty much all he does and he has great commantary.

10:38 Watchdogs 2 did the same thing, ive had players invade my game and it made me so scared cause i didnt expect it at all
Watchdogs 1 did too, never had issues dealing with the players though mostly because I don't think anyone knew what they were doing lol
crazy pistol headshot at the start hahahaha
9:18 I think he found the flare gun near the train yard and called down an artillery strike
Yep
I never beat the game but your videos have motavated me to go back for the pvp alone.
It's weird how the MG is so much more accurate when you're holding it than when mounted.
you would expect the opposite right?
I like how one of the 2 surprise stair kills had the tag 'Fatal Error'. How ironic.
Love these videos, especially the challenge vids where you choose a specific loadout for a character! I'd love to see you play through the campaign with Axis Invasion enabled so you can see what it's like, could be fun sniping other players while trying to finish the objectives.
8:15 outplayed so hard they rage quit! Niiice
2:47 BETWEEN THE EYES
It's inspirational to watch how you approach tactics. I feel like a barbarian.

That MG was hilarious, I think they genuinely don't believe an invader would use it so think you're an AI and they can just crawl around undetected
Good aim

Best sniper elite game wish there was axis invasion offline as well 😮 online is a blast
I can’t believe how much fun I have with invasions and I’m kicking myself for putting it off this long… being invaded though, that’s nerve racking hahahaha
It’s definitely fun playing as the Jäger, trying to do a stealth run without getting spotted during an invasion is a lot harder, lol.
Agreed, I am a total hypocrite, I love invading (over 300 kills now) but I hate being invaded so I usually turn them off when I'm playing campaign, lol.
2:43 I am surprised nobody is talking about how he casually one-tap 2 people with a pistol without missing
Watching all of your sniper videos
I love watching you game play!!! I subbed!!
your Sniper videos are so cool, it gets tense and all
I seriously doubt I’ll ever cross paths with you on this, but I look forward to it.
I got 0 kills as an invader, and 864 kills against invaders.
I love getting invaded, the cat and mouse, who can catch the other off guard first, who will slip up first, can I set up traps in advance from being invaded to give myself the edge?
This is a great one and I am excited for the eventual release of the next one!
I'm terrified meeting you in an invasion, but I still do it cut it makes the game so much more fun
Love these videos, great gameplay and commentary!
Love this game...so underrated
Putin is a sniper now
You have a very nice voice. I dont like pvp myself, but invasions are very cool to watch. Subbed
Thanks for the sub!
sounds like the SuperGT of Sniper Elite
Love the content man keep it up… if you can’t find someone trap objectives and if it goes on too long they become idiots and fall for it too easily
Even months later, I enjoy some sniper elite haha
death loop the whole game is about this mood
Sooo clean with the pistol MB, great shots!
MB = Mr bond for that clip
Love this game, i just wish it was first person, the 3rd person peaking just ruining fights when ppl just peak waiting for scope glints.
Yeah third person is always an issue with pvp games, and this game has the camera approximately 3 lightyears away from the player so it's extremely easy to peek corners.
If this same concept was done but with forced first person, it would be chefs kiss

Welcome to the party pal 🙂 600 confirmed karl kills here.
This is the kind of mode I was hoping to get in Hitman 3. Imagine invading another’s game and trying to work out who they are behind the disguise
The helmet really helps you blend in. Always wear one.
Awesome video as always !
At 09:10 it was flare gun and after the artillery.
I only remember two of those in the entire campaign. Secret weapons and Liberation I think
@@maltevombnd There's another in Ferstung Guernesey. I really don't remember one in the map of 09:10.

Would love to know what your invasion load out is, it looks so clean
I don't usually do this, but I never get the opportunity, so FIRST
Damn you really was putin them down 😂
I started playing Axis Invasion 2 weeks age, and i can honestly say....Yes I am addicted! I vowed to stop after the first 100 kills, but that did not happen!

at 9:00 thats the flare pistol calling artilliary
Well at least it’s not a thousand yet.
Have you done a campaign series? I thing that would be quite nice
When u use the phone does the other guy know that you know ?
Love the sniper elite stuff. Are u gonna play helldivers
I've played a bit and really enjoyed it, but there's so many TH-cam vids out there on it already, didn't think I added much!
Thanks for the laughs yet again! I really enjoy your vids good sir. One suggestion for a future vid - maybe you could try invasion on authentic difficulty?

A question if you would, what system specs please? The colours seemed different although clarity seemed rather good this clip also...
Just me?
Just upgraded drivers (nvidia) wondering if it was just my end not a system change your end...

That MG placement was sooo horrible.. The pillar blocking the whole aiming area.
What you play on?
head looks like putin lol
Has anyone ever mentioned you sound just like Jamie Bartlett ?
The model looks like Putin.. :D
how active is this mode? i am thinking of buying the game just to play it
Thanks guys? You're welcome
I have a tip for axis invasion protend that you’re a npc
must play way to much, I have over 4000 invader kills
The mechanic where u marked the enemy in the guillie in the grass was trash. That shoudlnt happen, then u can just scan the whole map without actually spotting the enemy. Otherwise interesting video.
Your character looks like a young Putin lol
Bro camping detected thats really a thing, your a freaken sniper its not camping X_X
Only 300, I'm on 750 so far
first guy, Vladimir Putin?
Dude is literally playing putin
Its so disappointing they made it 3rd person. Being able to see over cover and around walls completely ruins the tension and completely breaks the basics of tactics
I mean it's the fifth game in a long-running franchise and the guy getting invaded has a built-in "focus mode" where he just gets wallhacks so, idk.
I don't think the game is trying to be "tactical" mate.
It’s always been first person why would they change that?
Bit shit that a *sniper game* picks on you for camping. That's literally what Snipers *do.*
Why does your character look like Vladimir Putin haha
Having 4000 kills walking is not a good option?
Camping in a sniper game is crazy...
What time/day are you online?
I’d like to see how you get on against me.
