    The level design is definitely the biggest problem 5 has, it's to the point where it can be sometimes difficult to actually snipe in the sniping game

    I feel the gameplay and mechanics are better in Sniper Elite 4. I have played and completed both games, and I found that Sniper Elite 5 was missing some key mechanics. I found that most annoyingly, the ability to crouch and run at the same time was removed. This for me is a really important part of Sniper Elite 4. I also find that the variety of gadgets is lacking. I like the fact that in Sniper Elite 4 There were A large range of different mines and sneaky devices.
    I found that the Weapon modifications in Sniper Elite 5 were good, to an extent, however it seemed very random. Collecting these items was not purposeful, it just mattered if you happen to search the right body but you didn’t know which body that was.
    The graphics have improved in Sniper Elite 5, but not enough since the previous version. I found that I really wanted to play Sniper Elite 4 again and again, but I did not necessarily want to keep playing Sniper Elite 5.
    I also found the slow motion animations, were truly lacking. In Sniper Elite 4 One could really see where the bullet entered, what part of the body was damaged, and where the exit wound was. However, I found that in Sniper Elite 5, these animations were clunky, and in some cases the bullets didn’t even enter the body of the shot person. I also found that the bodies ragdolled more often than they should have.
    I hope that some of these issues will be updated, at some point.
    One other thing that really frustrates me, is that in Sniper Elite 4, if you need a satchel explosive, you have them already. You don’t have to go searching for them. If you wanted to blow up a tank, you don’t have to have a satchel explosives, you could find other ways of doing it. If you wanted to blow up a anti-aircraft gun, you could do it with TNT, but now you can’t. I feel this really takes away from the emersion. I also find that the fact that you have to search for a crowbar, or bolt cutters, in every level, is really frustrating. Perhaps in the first level, then surely this experience sniper would take this kind of thing with him. Rather than having to search every time. Things like this take away from the immersion and enjoyment of the game.

    I wasn’t expecting the controls to improve a great deal it’s how the games always played but it’s still so much fun. I like the ADS view now much better. Once I complete the campaign that real player sniper mode seems fun to me. The sounds are definitely better in 5. I like how you can hear the gun getting near empty. Something I hear in Battlefield often. I wish we got more than 9 missions. But hey. So overall it’s a great game.

    Just one point though, at 4:50 this is something that you can do in Sniper Elite 4 as well! It helped out a lot in the night time missions where it would be easier to sneak around and maintain a stealthy approach by shooting out nearby lightbulbs with your silenced Welrod pistol

      His point was that in 5 there are lights that cant be shot out, ones in places where a lighting adjustment would be nice. The ones in 5 that cant be shot out look like the lights in the warehouses in 4. I actually thought all lights in 5 couldnt be shot out and quit trying, now i know some can be,..... thank God. I, like yourself apparently, enjoy sneaking around in near darkness.... it sets mood, creayes realism. I thought 5 had done away with this and have been disapointed with this aspect of 5 until I saw this video. Happy playing.

    Sniper Elite 5 has proved very divisive among the community, but I’ve been enjoying my time with the game so far. There are definitely some design quirks, definitely some bugs, and there are a few areas where I think the game took a step down from 4, but I think it’s a really solid entry to the series. In some ways, I like it more than 4, but 4 has a special place in my heart so it’s hard to say which is definitely better imo.

      It's just so buggy, for me - falling through walls, getting stuck running up stairs, repeatedly reclimbing the ladder/wall you just dropped off (leaping straight back over the wall you just vaulted while being shot at!). I agree the maps are much less sandboxy and more funnelled - and I miss the AP traps. I see no reason to remove them.

    What I love about the weapon sounds in 5 is that they went to Bruce Crompton and Jonathan Ferguson and recorded real sounds for certain guns such as the Thompson, the Springfield and the M1911, from the firing of the gun right down to the reloading and mechanical sounds, at different ranges as well. Even the Welrod's sound effects are authentic.

    Thank you for the video my friend. I've played Sniper Elite 4 more times than one would think possible and I greatly anticipated Sniper Elite 5. After playing it through a number of times since release, I agree substantially with your comparison. I find Sniper Elite 5 a resounding success with a few exceptions. Most grievous to me is the needless and often annoying habit of funneling the player around by way of un-traversable terrain or some sort of barrier. I also miss rescuing people as in Sniper Elite 4's Ariana story or assisting the Partisans. But overall, I adore the game. I've spent little time anywhere else since its release.

    I'm on the second level, enjoying the single player game. The level design in the first two levels, at least, seems more restrictive as you said.
    One thing I noticed is that SE5 has MANY more enemies hunting you when you make a shot that many can hear. In SE4 the highest number of troops coming after me was 2, maybe 3 or 4. In SE 5 the first few attempts (using my SE4 experience) I had several cases where 8 to 12 enemy troops where stomping around, looking for me - this was a fair distance from the original shot and I was killed a few times. Now in SE5 it's "shoot and scoot" for me, usually about half way across the map.

    Graphically, there's definitely a difference in techniques that they're using on five that make it stand out a little more, but overall I really do feel like it's just a little more
    Gameplay is still unfortunately janky with AI that becomes pretty crappy once you're outside of the actual sniping (which is still great of course)

    I couldn't agree more Nick, also I think it's nuts that you can have a fire fight with a few gerries but 50 yards away the gerries there are completely oblivious. In Kraken Awakes I've fired panserfausts direstly at the side of the carrier and nobody comes out to play. I guess the devs want you to come aboard and fight but that's not what a real solo fighter would do. You have to reduce the enemies numbers first. Oh well, hopefully if there's a SE6 some of these problems will be fixed. I think you hit the major points though and for me the more restrictive nature of SE5 is the biggest drawback. If I wanted to play a COD game I would.

    as someone who love level design the first level is crucial even tho you're not being told direct mecanic the way it's arrange and rythm are what develloper consider an introduction to them and quite frankly ... sniper elite 5 is amazing at making you understand one thing: NO MORE LONG RANGE which is an absolute shame!
    in se4 the first thing you learn you can do once the movement tutorial is over "oh yeah you see that objective on the other side of the map? you can hit it! and even better if you squint real hard: you'll also see the explosive we set beside it!"
    while sniper elite 5 says: "it's a bunker antena get inside and get your welrod out"
    and i don't know it kind of bums me out i got it in the PC game pass but i'll be honest i won't invest in any of its DLC

    Invasion mode is what killed Sniper Elite 5 imo. Despite the mode apparently being a great deal of fun I've heard (I haven't played it personally), what this mode caused was a drastic shift in the level design. Now they have to pull the Apex Legends map design method to force players to find and fight each other, they take an open map, and put a large amount of "dead ground" in the map to create narrow pathways, tunnels, hallways, etc that players have to go through to fight each other and move around the map. This creates many more PVP opportunities as opposed to a giant open square field. So to prevent that situation happening in SE5 with Invasion, they restricted the level design which drastically brings down the game's fun factor. Sniping in 5 feels like a "off focus" part of the game, like you aren't supposed to be doing it. Many many times I ended up barely using my rifle and just used my welrod and SMG in close range when in other games it was the absolute other way around. I would go 4-5 levels in SE4 without even bringing my SMG out.

    Picking up items in 5 I feel is more cumbersome. I prefer how in 4 you can run while still in a more stealthy crouch. Then when you release the run button he'll go back to stealth walking without having to hit the stealth mode button. I prefer how 4 used '■' for corpse searching, although I use a programmable paddle expansion now, so it's sort of a non issue for me now, but it still bugs me for some reason lol.

    Why I prefer 4 to 5
    .They have removed the ability to crouch and run at the same time :(
    .There is no option to turn off the red hitbox when scoping
    .snipers are too loud even with suppressed ammo so I find myself using the pistol a lot more
    .The maps look great but it gets irritating with the hedges being in the way, 4 didn't have this problem as much
    .Feels like stealth kills are being prioritized over sniping kills.
    .Controls feel a bit off

    I've over 4k hours in SE4 and barely 200hrs in SE5. I agree that the Graphics are better but Presentation, Gameplay and Audio are worse. One particular aspect that you didn't mention was the Character Mechanics... how he move's, reloads and changes weapons all impact gameplay, especially in PvP.
    Being able to run towards the open window of a building and just 'hop' in, change weapons quickly and efficiently, move quickly while crouched, ascend and descend ladders quickly - all of these now take more time or are unavailable. In PvP, it isn't just 'Frames that Win Games' - it's seconds not in cover, seconds not a target that'll make or break a game.

    Sniper elite 4 was my favourite game for a long time to the extent where I went back and completed EVERYTHING. I’m just not getting that vibe with 5. The graphics and level detail in 5 are definitely better as well as the sounds like gunshot’s and reloading. But I feel like I could explore a lot more in 4. I feel very restricted in 5 and it’s like they are telling me where to go and I definitely don’t feel as ‘sneaky’ in SE5.
    Menus are pretty much the same, there’s a few changes with buttons but nothing to serious, its a shame they removed the trip mines because I used those on every level in SE4 and relied on them to pass some of the special missions like taking down the generals.
    One of the biggest downfalls of SE5 is the player control. It’s not good. Constantly looking left and right at the speed of light while trying to search a body is frustrating at best, it actually broke my SE4 heart because it has ruined the whole experience for me. You have to look directly at whatever you want to pick up but if you move your thumb stick that little bit to far, it flips out and is no where near the item you were aiming for. I will say though, that aiming down sights on AR’s and pistols is a good addition. All in all, it’s ok. I will stick with it and hopefully get used to the clunky controls. Multiplayer is good because of the non toxic community. 3.5 out of 5.

    Sniper elite 5 is a great game, well all of them are including the original sniper elite on the ps2 platform, must admit that with sniper elite 5, the lack of trip mines and bouncing Betty’s you don’t have any further options to leave booby traps, with the hedgerows it’s France for you.
    Just playing through the game looking for great sniping points is interesting however when you don’t locate quickly enough it feels like you have the entire German army hunting you down, sniper elite 4 some levels had spotter’s in, trying to take them down before they spotted you and fire a flare at you, getting to do stealth on 5 can be difficult too, but interesting

    It's my favourite Sniper Elite game, and I think the best thing about it is that it's better than SE4 without actually making SE4 any less worth playing. V2 and SE3 feel like a chore to play after you've played 4 and 5, but even with the improvements 5 has, it's not so much better that it makes playing SE4 feel outdated.
    It's a great sequel in an interesting way, and I love it.
