I've been playing Axis Invasion disguised as a normal soldier a lot lately. I'm new to the game and not very good, but I win most of my matches because I can act like an NPC and just walk out in the open without fear. It's kind of incredible how brazen you can be if you just walk casually instead of running, as long as they don't notice a secondary weapon on your back then you almost never have to worry about being seen. I also play with iron sights so they can't tell when I'm aiming at them. It's hilarious to stroll across an open field until you spot Karl, then just wander to the nearest cover with a good angle on their path forward and wait for them to walk out.
11:14 "Yannik Honigsmann: Has started coughing up blood, worries that it's Typhoid." Yeah I don't think it's the Typhoid you should be worrying about mate
5:10 AFAIK germans tanks were primed in red before adding camo, so it could be some of the primer sticking out due to wearing and the likes. which IMO could be kinda coherent since it appears on the wheels and the base of the piece.
@@your_avg_us_main In this particular mission, the Japanese brought over some of their artillery for Germany to test & use against the Allies. The whole reason the Allied sniper is there is to sabotage the weapons before they can be utilized.
@@kazakhstanisastate4614 Not sure why they would want the Japanese artillery when they had Krupp and Rheinmetall. Usually it was the Germans sending the Japanese some scraps.
WTH is the scope glint in this game?! I thought I was looking at a damn search light the first time I saw it! Might as well add some huge floating neon signs pointing at your enemy.
@@TizbutaScratch that gigantic search light of a scope glint is the biggest immersion breaker I've seen in years. Scope glint is a tiny split second flash of light not the LED high beam of a modern car.
@@TizbutaScratchbruh scope glint only occurs in a specific orientation. Its just really annoying in the game. Like, there would be no scope glint at night but behold that shit is like a spotlight
Pretty sure there are scope types that either reduce or remove the glint. Their zooms suck that. One thing Im surprised is that I dont think Ive seen anyone use decoys yet
I just wish games had scope glint work realistically, meaning you have to consider where the sun/light sources are when positioning yourself Scopes having a bright ass LED on them whenever you aim is something games will have now for way too long
Yes, pink is often used in certain camouflagues, such as in deserts. The repeated duels with the last guy were amazing. The disrespect of shooting him through the scope only to get clean domeshots both times after. That's consistency.
Love the pvp style of the game. I remember getting really good at Evolve when that was new, and when we spawned in, my friend started chasing the footprints. I told him that was a decoy, and the monster went the opposite way. He didn't wanna believe me so I went off on my own and low and behold the monster jumped me, and I spent the whole time flaming my friend for being so easily fooled.
Thanks you so much for getting me into this part of the game , have played the campaign loads of times and still do as I love it but I never bothered with this untill I seen you and I have to say I’m loving it , it’s just good fun , I kind of wish you could speak or at least message but maybe it’s better you can’t , saves the almost definite trolls and abuse that would happen
I gotta say, coming home from work to watch you hunt is actually pretty enjoyable. Maybe it's just that smooth, hypnotic voice, or maybe it's thinking about how I'd perform in your shoes. Either way, this is good stuff.
7:37 I have rewatched this section so many times, turning it down to 0.25 speed and pausing to look around and I still have no idea how you located that guy.
I’ve just started playing this game, I ended up in the crow bar room until I killed every enemy then switched off the radar. I’m positive there’s a better way. Currently stuck in a field at the chateaux with alarms goin off everywhere. Great game
I love SE5, but the one time I played Axis Invasion was my first time playing the game. I was so nervous throughout but managed to kill the Sniper Jäger via SMG. Havent tried the mode since
That kill in the tower was hilarious. I must admit I enjoy the kills when I see the person dive into the bushes thinking I haven’t and I throw a grenade , they light me up with the sniper sometimes even get a shot but they die first from the blast 😂
I'm amazed how seemingly few people use Focus during an invasion. That guy you stuck with a grenade in the bush should never have been so unaware that you were there. When I get invaded, I immediately hunt down the invader, and I'm almost never NOT in Focus. Literal wall hacks are your biggest advantage, and using them, I WILL find you. Also, to this day, any time I'm scanning for an enemy sniper, whether player or AI, when I finally see them, I hear Raubvogel's hiss of _"I SEE YOU"_ in the back of my mind.
I remember so many of my invasion kills ending up like that first one during the launch week when folks didn't know what invasion was or how to fight it
5:10 fun fact: pink worked wonderfully as a color for camouflage back in WW2, but it was only effective in a dessert environment. so definitely out of place there.
Your videos are the best to watch mate! Just 1 suggestion, your sound is insanely high (in my opinion), I have my sound quite low but yet your videos are always quite loud when i open them. Maybe its me but everything else is much quieter. Keep up the great videos mate! MORE SNIPING!
Interesting you pointed out the pinkish camo on the artillery piece, i live next to it on Guernsey and i dont think it has a third color aside from the green and yellow. It does however have some faded yellow rusted parts that look pale orange so maybe theyre trying to replicate that
Likely the last guy on Guernsey was using his Focus ability and could see your approximate direction on his compass. So he probably was scanning that bunker for you. It's hard to get a surprise on a decent Karl using that.
I've had to go on hiatus, I started to have the maps learnt so well I could identify almost exactly where the Karl was from where I spawned, knew all of the AI locations and was almost never actually losing bar campers. gonna let the rust build up so I can have some proper hunts again.
these days when i play SE5 on campaigns i always hesitate to activate invasions. You don't really realise it as an invader, but there are so much invaders and so little campaign players that you get instantly swarmed with invasions, one starting instantly after an other. It's boring and uninteresting to fight invaders at that point. Rebellion should add a limit to number of invasions per game, because even though invasions are a fun mechanic, it can REALLY ruin your campaign mission altogether.
I had just picked up sniper elite 5 because of you and this video... along with all the other vids I've been binging on since buying it haha. (edit - i only have the base game though, i tend to be careful and spend like 2 hours per mission (not started the third mission yet) so would you have any tips on say, speed and or confidence for us newbies?)
Lool if you need a challenge try to kill the sniper player with the same skin,but with actual npc weapons,done it with the mp44,so if i was able to do it ,you should with no porblems (if you accept)
Holy shit this was yesterday I’ve been watching literally every single one of your sniper elite videos lol,hell yea if possible I think it would be interesting and very challenging for you to do a mine only run. 😅💯🙌🏻
That kill in the tower, when he came flying out due to that grenade was hilarious
He was panic 😂

You say you're not very good, but it sounds like you're just underestimating yourself.
"Not very good" with more wins than loses by using an out-of-the-box tactic? Not even average imo
That is straight up good gameplay
Literally how I win 90% of invasions in Watch_Dogs. Everyone is always looking for player movement or actions, not something that looks scripted.
11:14 "Yannik Honigsmann: Has started coughing up blood, worries that it's Typhoid." Yeah I don't think it's the Typhoid you should be worrying about mate
0:10 > Dressed as Wehrmacht soldier
> "Johnny Comes Marching Home"; one of the most American pieces of music you can play.
While equipped with a British rifle.
Mr. Worldwide
"Johnny I hardly knew ye" is what I hear
It's also specifically the version from Die Hard with a Vengeance.
While also having a banned weapon on his back, the German officers is going to have a few questions regarding that lol
5:10 AFAIK germans tanks were primed in red before adding camo, so it could be some of the primer sticking out due to wearing and the likes. which IMO could be kinda coherent since it appears on the wheels and the base of the piece.
could anyone explain why the japanese flag doing there
@@your_avg_us_mainGermany and japan were allied together?

That first kill was just funny
Normal soldier disguise
Also: very obvious shotgun
That to-and-fro in the tower was hilarious.
4:19
Serious TF2 energy right there. Soldier probably remembers this day fondly.
Been waiting for some more Sniper Elite gameplay. Thank you very much!

It's called immersion. Scope glint is real and it will kill you quickly when there are enemy snipers out looking for you.

that scaffold climb thing was an absolute violation
I got this game on steam because of you and I have been playing it non stop and going back and forth from the campaign to axis invasions.
It would be cool if there was a zero scope glint setting for this game mode that would up the skill it takes to spot eachother
Pretty sure there are scope types that either reduce or remove the glint. Their zooms suck that. One thing Im surprised is that I dont think Ive seen anyone use decoys yet
I just wish games had scope glint work realistically, meaning you have to consider where the sun/light sources are when positioning yourself
Scopes having a bright ass LED on them whenever you aim is something games will have now for way too long
There’s a scope you get from the rifle bench in Guernsy that has no glint
Damn. I think you got a sense of that first guy very quickly
16:00 damn I can't tell you enough how much I love that Commandos 2 soundtrack! Excellent WW2 action sir
Always a pleasure when you cover the best game there is
I have never played the Sniper Elite games before, this sniper invasion game mode is pretty interesting
The commandos 2 soundtrack just fits sooooooo perfectly in these videos

13:15 A quote from a real pshyco... chill dude. I mean... it's just a game. You give me chills now... 😰

I absolutely love the timestamps for these videos they're my favourite part
It going to happen soon i hope
Mb93 Vs Duckwit
That will be the best battle in sniper elite history
I love watching your Sniper Elite videos. Cheers!
the goat is back with axis invasion, awesome
4:20
That was such a smart play
The slow walk away haha you savage
so happy to see this series get a little more juice! love these vids :)
Thanks you so much for getting me into this part of the game , have played the campaign loads of times and still do as I love it but I never bothered with this untill I seen you and I have to say I’m loving it , it’s just good fun , I kind of wish you could speak or at least message but maybe it’s better you can’t , saves the almost definite trolls and abuse that would happen
I don't get tired of watching Axis Invasion, is just so good!
I hope that Sniper Elite Resistance has Axis Invasion as good as this one

0:46 Vasily vs Konig ahh moment 😂
My favorite movie of all time
Enjoying this game and none more so than the hunt for the enemy snipers
I love when you can play as Axis.
amazed how many of these players are so loud, I do almost the entire mission without being heard or seen once
I’ve been enjoying your videos. Good content and execution man!
The kill in the tower made me laugh out loud.
I’ve just started playing this game, I ended up in the crow bar room until I killed every enemy then switched off the radar. I’m positive there’s a better way. Currently stuck in a field at the chateaux with alarms goin off everywhere. Great game
Love the chapter titles and always being a good sport. Such an incredible game mode.
Always enjoy seeing sniper elite in my feed
I love these videos I wish you would play sniper elite 4!
Love these videos!
that first one must be the most humiliating kill ewer
I love SE5, but the one time I played Axis Invasion was my first time playing the game. I was so nervous throughout but managed to kill the Sniper Jäger via SMG. Havent tried the mode since
That sticky grenade was too good. I pissed myself laughing. All class.
That kill in the tower was hilarious. I must admit I enjoy the kills when I see the person dive into the bushes thinking I haven’t and I throw a grenade , they light me up with the sniper sometimes even get a shot but they die first from the blast 😂
Omg finally, keep making videos with this game

Love the invasion I series. I was trying to play campaign waiting for you to invade but never had a chance 😂😂
Doing gods work out there hunting down these lazy cowards!
I remember so many of my invasion kills ending up like that first one during the launch week when folks didn't know what invasion was or how to fight it
The enemy on “Close Call” had a non-zero chance of walking out with just an eyepatch.
Love the super elite games, always a good time
Great Video Love Watching These
The phrase "fish in a barrel" springs to mind
5:10 fun fact: pink worked wonderfully as a color for camouflage back in WW2, but it was only effective in a dessert environment. so definitely out of place there.
I still love how the German model is just Henry from CK:D
I enjoyed playing campaign and setting up traps for invading snipers
I didn't even know Sniper Elite had multiplayer.
Omg yes I've been waiting for a new Sniper elite video
Have you ever thought about playing the game and letting other people invade?
Great idea
Or try the multiplayer
Never seen it but would love to
He tried to peek a sniper locked in on him 💀
the kills are always funny, had a great laugh man
That snipe off was awesome
Love your sniper elite videos
lol that Duo in the 2nd game were so bad, as soon as his teammate dropped he ran away hahahahah
Bro the strike force heroes music goes hard af
Fun commentary! 👍

I play this game so much and I'm surprised I've never had you in my game
lol i dint know this but i have played against you i remember that name lol
I've had to go on hiatus, I started to have the maps learnt so well I could identify almost exactly where the Karl was from where I spawned, knew all of the AI locations and was almost never actually losing bar campers. gonna let the rust build up so I can have some proper hunts again.
I really hope i get to play aginst you once more last time i missed my quickshot.
I’m a bit confused why the Germans are flying the Japanese flag on some maps.
Because there are 2 japanese navy commanders who are visiting Guernsey.
Student exchange program!
Okay, that first kill, when ya went quiet mid sentence, I just imagine your face going like •_• cause like. The timing XD

SNIPER ELITE HECK YEAH!
Awesome snipes
That was fun!
These videos are super fun.
to me to you had so much disrespect his great grandparents felt it good on ya
Can't wait for sniper elite resistance
poor cheese, dude keeps getting invaded by the same guy and getting goofed on
As per, quality stuff
I do wonder how many losses that guy at the end would've taken before he called it quits and stopped asking for a re-up
My guess is that pink you're seeing on the gun is exposed primer, though its awfully bright.

Could've named the last one "The men in the high towers".
I think that shot at 13:59 was actually through his scope
Nice videos indeed but that´s one reason why i only play on authentic because most of the invaders are nothing without the Red dot seen it many times.
From time to time i wish there would be a Mode where we play as the German Snipers hunting down Ally Soldiers instead of only Karl.
Holy shit this was yesterday I’ve been watching literally every single one of your sniper elite videos lol,hell yea if possible I think it would be interesting and very challenging for you to do a mine only run. 😅💯🙌🏻
