History VideoGame / SniperEliteV2

* BlastingItOutOfTheirHands: Subverted. Hits on enemy weapons give off a ping, send sparks flying, and stagger the enemy but they retain their weapon.
* BookEnds: The game begins and ends at the Brandenburg Gate.

* FalseFlagOperation: [[spoiler:The Soviets capture a German V2 rocket launch site, complete with an intact V2 rocket loaded with Tabun. With Wolff's help, they plan on launching the captured rocket to hit London to test the nerve agent's effectiveness, and them promptly blame the incident on surviving elements of the German Army.]]

* BigBad: Dr. Wolff, the scientific leader of a group of individuals closely involved in the V2 rocket program. What makes him special is that, unlike a lot of other scientists in the same field, he is willing to sell his secrets and expertise out to the Soviet Union in exchange for his life.

An UpdatedRerelease called ''Sniper Elite V2 Remastered'' was released on May 14, 2019, updating the graphics and bundling all DownloadableContent for free.

* VehicleTitle: The "V2" portion refers not only to this game's status as a ContinuityReboot (i.e. "version 2"), but also because the game's plot focuses on the V2 rocket, a Nazi wonder-weapon. Specifically, Karl Fairburne, TheProtagonist, is ordered by the UsefulNotes/{{OSS}} to: (1) Assassinate key German military officers and scientists willing to sell out to [[DirtyCommunists the Soviets]] in exchange for their knowledge on the weapon; and (2) Destroy any V2 rocket facilities remaining within Germany. Late in the game, Karl even finds out about an EvilPlan by the Soviets to [[spoiler:load a single V2 rocket with [[DeadlyGas Tabun]], launch it at London to test the lethality of the gas, and promptly blame it on the dying Third Reich]].

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: This game, compared to its [[VideoGame/SniperEliteIII two]] [[VidoeGame/SniperElite4 prequels]] that come afterward, is far more linear, has far smaller maps which limit exploration, and enemy AI is much, much simpler. In addition, there is the lack of a save feature and there is RegeneratingHealth.

* CommieNazis: The main antagonists are a group of German officers and scientists willing to sell out their own country's secrets to the Soviets in exchange for their lives.

* WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: This is played with. Some levels provide unique items like the Panzerfaust Anti Tank rocket or a mounted machinegun. However the game still heavily focuses on the use of the sniper rifle. Tank? Sniper rifle. Truck? Sniper rifle. Launching V2 Rocket?! SNIPER RIFLE! To push the point home, the player is allowed to carry three magazines for his SMG (including the one loaded into it) and only a handful more for his pistol, while carrying over a hundred sniper rifle rounds.
