@@CodaBlairLucarioEmperor OMFG FROM DISHONORED! He really is just like ALL luck, NO skill when it comes to games that don't involve automobiles, or automobile adjacent activities 🤣
I would be literally tearing him to shreds, he's playing like he's never SEEN a stealthy snipey 3rd person shooter before lol. Andy showed remarkable restraint 😂
I was watching Ian tumble his way through the level and I saw the notification for Oxbox. I thought “Ah! Here comes the sophisticated stealth playthrough that I’ve been…oh it’s Mike. Never mind!” 😂
Oh Mike, one minute he's running through a lavender field in the middle of a village full of Nazis, the next he's been spotted by a village full of Nazis, just terrible luck isn't it.
I learned to never doubt Mikes sniping prowse, ever since that Dishonored gameplay, when he sniped a moving target in a far balcony with a single shot of what was essentially a sawed off shotgun
Love that Andy doubted Mikes ability to kill a target from 300m away with an explosive weapon poorly fit for the situation, as if he hasn’t ever seen him play hitman.
“You used to be a sniper just like me?” “Yup, they called me Sniper Elite Later on it was Sniper Presentable Then Sniper Gruesome And finally Sniper Mike”
Mike's hail Mary shot with that RPG is definitely one of his best moments. Right up there with the Hitman explosive rubber duck assassination. It's not Mike's fault he is stealthily challenged - but he overcomes it quite creatively. 😋
I'm on board with this, new sniper elite game, more Mike shooting things and Andy and Jane with fantastic commentary on his actions, perfect if you ask me.
I have had fun with 2, 3 and 4, but i dont think i have had enough time to do more than one run of each So now im just sitting "Theres another?" It can be a bit odd to encounter a new game in a franchise you do enjoy, but isnt such a big fan of that you track everywhere it goes...
At 14:49 I felt like it was just common knowledge to know that Mike would easily make that shot. Mike is proficient in every single type of explosive device known to man or simulation of
Mike's walking all other the map during the briefing has the same vibes as that archaeology gif/meme where everyone carefully excavates a skull and then there's one hammer-wielding hand that smashes straight through the bone XD (Contribution for the win! :P)
Jane: "Have X-Ray grenades always been a thing?!" Oh yeah, they've had those for 20+ years now, ever since Perfect Dark. They were effective, but I hated using them, since they turned your vision all image-ghosty until the radiation wore off.
Can’t wait to play this - loved Sniper Elite 4 and this appears to be more of the same, which I’m all about! One thing that comes in handy in these games is all the vehicles have weak spots that usually result in large explosions - the lorry’s have tanks on the bottom on either side.
The Lavender Specter. The psychological impact he has on his enimies cannot be overstated, the supreme conflict and confusion felt when everyone around you is losing their heads (literally) from sniper fire, yet the calming scent of lavender pervades and outmatches the stench of death.
German soldier: "I used to be an adventurer, then a sniper shot me in the knee." also Mikes sniper rating - some guy who tripped over a sniper rifle, said "what was that", then picked up the sniper rifle and said "ooooh a sniper rifle, think I'll be a sniper"
I hope the developers are standing behind them taking notes. Because nobody could predict Mike. Should definitely be a score boost for ridiculous RPG skills
Every UA-camr I have watched play this series has the same issue. They never know where to look for ammo. It’s Goldeneye for modern consoles. If the barrel is red it goes boom. Pick up a random SMG and you get ammo for whatever Gun of that type you have.
@@jamesanthony8438 Ah, yes. That little French mouse always said "Pardon" after going berserk. I liked that movie. While it is not a masterpiece, it was a good time killer.
Pretty much how i expected it go seeing Mike in the thumbnail 😃 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Likely the best late birthday present you can provide guys 😄😄😄😄😄 Apart from Among Us, Gang Beasts or Phasmo
So he goes in, takes hits, temporarily dies, knows things meta, often just jumps out blasting or makes things go boom... he's not a sniper, he's Deadpool.
Under what circumstance would you as a resistance fighter, approaching your hideout, decide to attempt to sneak up then hide when detected. Seems like a good way to be brained in an unfortunate blue on blue.
I can picture Empire Palpatine in Star Wars yelling out "UNLIMITED NAZIS!!!!" as Mike keeps trying to take out Nazis after Nazis after Nazis after Nazis...
, very interesting game , enjoyable , haven’t played a game like this before, where is the Marcel key location in the mission - safe house? this is my first time playing any of these games from the series , hope they make a sniper elite 6 game etc
I think it lends a little less to the subject than Hitman - it's less "which intricate but mostly scripted method will you use to kill your target" and more "how will you deal with random and unclear circumstances to shoot your target, ideally in the head" - but I'm still entirely in favour.
I understand that for.. I don’t know… gamer cred or whatever you just keep on after whiffing hard at the beginning by getting spotted immediately. Sometimes you just need to restart a checkpoint.
Somehow, Mike is better at sniping people with an RPG than with an actual sniper rifle. This is perfectly on-brand for Mike.
of course. Remember the pistol snipe
Can’t take cover if there’s no more cover
@@CodaBlairLucarioEmperor OMFG FROM DISHONORED! He really is just like ALL luck, NO skill when it comes to games that don't involve automobiles, or automobile adjacent activities 🤣
If it isn't broken, don't try fixing it. Or in Mike's case, blow it up!
Full Mike at it's Finest, Only The Finest.
I love Andy just constantly throwing shade at Mike's lack of stealth.
I’m with Mike. We just go in with guns blazing 🥵.
@@mikemike5223 Then just be ready for Andy to throw some shade at you.
Mike: "What is stealth?"
I loved your work in Star Wars
I would be literally tearing him to shreds, he's playing like he's never SEEN a stealthy snipey 3rd person shooter before lol. Andy showed remarkable restraint 😂
I was watching Ian tumble his way through the level and I saw the notification for Oxbox. I thought “Ah! Here comes the sophisticated stealth playthrough that I’ve been…oh it’s Mike. Never mind!” 😂
At least is going the a fun chaos
Us Mikes just roll that way.
Oh, I need to go watch Ian's run of it. I watched him playing Hitman VR and I about died laughing at his reactions and what he would say.
Oh Mike, one minute he's running through a lavender field in the middle of a village full of Nazis, the next he's been spotted by a village full of Nazis, just terrible luck isn't it.
He forgot Jane's First Rule Of Stealth: "Stay in the lavender! It's FRAGRANT and SAFE!"
Mike following his AB(i)C - Always Be (in) Combat.
Andy sounds like he's in physical pain this whole video 🤣
Always amongst the best type of video. Mike miking up while Andy sounds frustrated and Jane sounds like she’s enjoying watching the chaos unfold 😂🤣😂🤣
Next time Mike solos something that requires stealth, put a heart monitor on Andy.
just make sure he hasn't had a fried breakfast that morning
Actually amazing idea 😂
“I’m in combat now” - Mike, even in Football games
Andy still telling him he's meant to be using stealth. Even in football games.
Mike playing Just Dance... "Guys, you'll never believe this but..."
*Clippy from Microsoft Word:* "I see you've written 'Mike' and 'Sniper Rifle'. Did you mean 'Crouch running' and 'Explosives'?" 📎
Holy shit, you can see the shockwave on explosions now! Also: 'Oh no, I'm in combat' could both be Mike's catchphrase and a good slogan for a shirt.
"Oh no, I'm in combat" on the front and "Safety crouch" on the back
Oh no, I‘m in combat is the title of mike‘s biography 😂😂😂 and the summary of his gaming life ✌🏻
I learned to never doubt Mikes sniping prowse, ever since that Dishonored gameplay, when he sniped a moving target in a far balcony with a single shot of what was essentially a sawed off shotgun
He went past Sniper Elite to Sniper How Did That Even Happen. High Overseer Campbell didn't high oversee that coming.
Love that Andy doubted Mikes ability to kill a target from 300m away with an explosive weapon poorly fit for the situation, as if he hasn’t ever seen him play hitman.
One word: Duck
5:35 - Mike has learnt the first lesson of not being seen, not standing up. (c) Python, Monty.
He forgot one of OXBox's number one rules.
Safety Crouch.
“You used to be a sniper just like me?”
“Yup, they called me Sniper Elite
Later on it was Sniper Presentable
Then Sniper Gruesome
And finally Sniper Mike”
“Whats this?”
“Oh thats my rocket launcher. Andy told me not to use that anymore.”
Mike faffing around and giggling while Andy is desperately trying to maintain the seriousness of the situation will never stop being entertaining! 😂😂
Grenades, panzerfausts, and a zip line ... yep, that's Mike's kind of stealth game.
Really need mike and andy in a sniper/spotter coop session, assuming that mode has been kept from 4
@ 8:00, that euphanistic limb shot is actually more commonly known as "the third leg"
Andy's dry exasperated sarcasm gives me life
Mike's hail Mary shot with that RPG is definitely one of his best moments. Right up there with the Hitman explosive rubber duck assassination. It's not Mike's fault he is stealthily challenged - but he overcomes it quite creatively. 😋
Soon as I saw Mike's face in the thumbnail, I knew I was in for a treat. Mike's high chaos gives me such joy. XD
That rocket shot is a worthy follow up to the pistol snipe Mike did in Dishonored way back in the day
I'm on board with this, new sniper elite game, more Mike shooting things and Andy and Jane with fantastic commentary on his actions, perfect if you ask me.
Just waiting for Mike to get demoted to Sniper: Rudimentary. 😂😂😂
Surprised he didn't drop all the way to 'Sniper Remedial' at this point, if I'm honest!
Mike is Sniper: Unpaid Intern
Sniper Bulk Rate
They released a new one!? YESSSSSS man sniper elite 4 was my favorite game ever
Not yet, comes May 26th.
I have had fun with 2, 3 and 4, but i dont think i have had enough time to do more than one run of each
So now im just sitting "Theres another?"
It can be a bit odd to encounter a new game in a franchise you do enjoy, but isnt such a big fan of that you track everywhere it goes...
I'd watch Mike play the whole game. We have so much to learn from his stealthy skills
I hope this becomes a series like hitman
3 minutes in and it's already gone full Mike, good to see
At 14:49 I felt like it was just common knowledge to know that Mike would easily make that shot. Mike is proficient in every single type of explosive device known to man or simulation of
Mike's walking all other the map during the briefing has the same vibes as that archaeology gif/meme where everyone carefully excavates a skull and then there's one hammer-wielding hand that smashes straight through the bone XD (Contribution for the win! :P)
"I'm like a ghost,
I only float away.
I don't know where my soul is,
I don't know where my corpse is."
21:09 That was genuinely a pretty good badass action line from Mike
i mean, that was some elite sniping with a rocket launcher which is pretty stealthy for Mike
It's good to see that Mike hasn't lost any of his stealth skills.
Mike: Stealth is so hard. I don't know why Andy keeps going on about difficult it is all the time.
When Mike said that, I about died laughing. XD
Jane: "Have X-Ray grenades always been a thing?!"
Oh yeah, they've had those for 20+ years now, ever since Perfect Dark. They were effective, but I hated using them, since they turned your vision all image-ghosty until the radiation wore off.
26:47 MIke: "I think I'll be spotted..."
Never stopped you before. lol
Such wonderful chaos! 😁👌 Can't wait for Mike to play IOI's Bond game. 😛
Can’t wait to play this - loved Sniper Elite 4 and this appears to be more of the same, which I’m all about!
One thing that comes in handy in these games is all the vehicles have weak spots that usually result in large explosions - the lorry’s have tanks on the bottom on either side.
You can tell it was Mike playing because the scenes at the start were 66% blowing people up rather than sniping people
The Lavender Specter. The psychological impact he has on his enimies cannot be overstated, the supreme conflict and confusion felt when everyone around you is losing their heads (literally) from sniper fire, yet the calming scent of lavender pervades and outmatches the stench of death.
He can't help it, he is Mike and Mike always goes full Mike. 🤣
Sniper elite: Quest for the ball shot
Coming soon: "Sniper Elite VI: Na zi Nut Shots!"
Im 34 years old, almost 30 of being a gamer, and until now I figured out that RPG stood for Rocket propelled granade!!
German soldier: "I used to be an adventurer, then a sniper shot me in the knee."
also
Mikes sniper rating - some guy who tripped over a sniper rifle, said "what was that", then picked up the sniper rifle and said "ooooh a sniper rifle, think I'll be a sniper"
Well, I certainly came for *that* shot playback, and I appreciate Mike for trying to get it
Mike with the stealth and situational awareness.
I can only assume Andy's grandfather had a full fried English breakfast every day for thirty years, and then died. At thirty.
Perfect timing, just finished BigMooney06's video of him playing it, too. Now lets see how Paddy Strongjaw acts in the hands of the Oxbox crew.
Thank you for this useful tutorial in "How NOT to play Sniper Elite"
This game would make for a great '3 Ways to Play' series
Mike? Sneaking? Oh this I gotta see. 😂
I just finished watching the video... and I'm still waiting for him to do it. =)
Name of the game is Sniper Elite 5. Mike goes for the mines, grenades, and rocket launcher. He does not disappoint.
Ah, a new chance to see Jane 'The Lady of Death' flex her wraith on helpless Nazi NPC's
[sees Mike in thumbnail]
oh... oh well
If you‘ve seen Jane trying to shoot Gary Busey in Hitman, you know why they choose Mike 😂😂😂
I saw the thumbnail, and for a second thought Eurogamer had reuploaded the same video. Took me a sec to realise it's Mike not Ian!
What’s the difference between them playing (apart from Ian making immature rude jokes and swearing)?!😆
I rate Mike Sniper: Regular but Explosives: Elite
I hope the developers are standing behind them taking notes. Because nobody could predict Mike.
Should definitely be a score boost for ridiculous RPG skills
New Job opportunity: Testing Games to make them mikeproof 😂
Andy: 'It's not illegal if you kill someone in a graveyard'
ummm...
He's got you there, the law
I love how the Nazi truck is actually better at stealthing than Mike.
Andy: "A butt looks the same inside and out."
Okay, this right here re is why normally we let Jane make the astute scientific observations.
I really feel the need to disagree with Andy on this point. Clearly had not seen enough anatomical videos.
17:32
Mike said twofer, but it was actually a toother
Rpg sniper Mike. Let the chaos reign... I mean if everyone is exploded no one can see you perfect stealth
Every UA-camr I have watched play this series has the same issue. They never know where to look for ammo.
It’s Goldeneye for modern consoles. If the barrel is red it goes boom. Pick up a random SMG and you get ammo for whatever Gun of that type you have.
29:42: You found their secret water stash for Operation Hydrate
It's lucky we have a master of stealth to showcase all the games virtues, in Mike "I'm in combat as soon as I start the level" Channel.
The Explosion Kill X-Ray was in Sniper Elite 4, not sure in the others. Also, you could shoot a grenade they have hanging off them in SE4...🤔
I played all previous games using nothing but the sniper. No pistol, grenade, Launcher. Watching this was entertaining,yet painful.
Stealth + oxbox = an entertainig video
Stealth + Oxbox?
Sorry, you can only have one or the other, but not both I'm afraid. =)
Mike: *throws a body off the roof*
Me, internally: heh, let the bodies hit the floor
Andy is the smooth gentleman Hitman agent for hire, while Mike is the agent of chaos; the Sniper known as "Mike."
Mike's stealth-playing reminds me of Rollo from "Valiant" (2005). The little fat mouse with the match sticks running around screaming, "SABOTAGE!!" =)
@@jamesanthony8438 Ah, yes. That little French mouse always said "Pardon" after going berserk. I liked that movie. While it is not a masterpiece, it was a good time killer.
Pretty much how i expected it go seeing Mike in the thumbnail 😃 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Likely the best late birthday present you can provide guys 😄😄😄😄😄 Apart from Among Us, Gang Beasts or Phasmo
Oh, man! I'd love a 3 ways to play of this game. I hope there's a screwdriver or electricity in the game for Jane. XD
Sniper Serendipity strikes again!
X-Ray for everything else but rifle is a new feature in SE5 - and I like it! :)
@16:06 "The butt looks the same inside, and out" ~ Andy Farrant 2022
So he goes in, takes hits, temporarily dies, knows things meta, often just jumps out blasting or makes things go boom... he's not a sniper, he's Deadpool.
Came expecting nothing, was rewarded with headshots.
Well.... jaw shots mostly.
I’d love to see a full 3 ways to play of this
I have so much sympathy for Andy in these episodes 😂
Mike Channel: Crotch Sniper, is a game I would probably buy
Great video
I think soundmasking works better kindof... well... BEFORE you alert everyone to your position maybe?
I love mike's relentlessness about trying to hit a crotch shot xD
In case you need to see more of those, just watch Andy’s red dead 100% playthrough 🤗😂
Under what circumstance would you as a resistance fighter, approaching your hideout, decide to attempt to sneak up then hide when detected. Seems like a good way to be brained in an unfortunate blue on blue.
Nice work ❤❤

Tonight on War Crimes with Mike.
Special de-livery!
Mike demoted to Sniper Dishonourably Discharged...
If Mike actually managed to kill his target with an rpg from outside the xbox I mean the castle it would have been awesome 🤩
that was a load of fun to watch....
could we possibly get a three ways to play out of this game?
I think it lends a little less to the subject than Hitman - it's less "which intricate but mostly scripted method will you use to kill your target" and more "how will you deal with random and unclear circumstances to shoot your target, ideally in the head" - but I'm still entirely in favour.
Hi I love your guys videos I was just wondering if you guys could do a video about bloodborn
Absolutely hilarious!! Mike is certainly elite something :D
"A butt looks the same inside and out" Go see a doctor Andy, that sounds worrying
I want to see Andy play, 2 headshots and done.
And he'd be upset at the extra headshot.
This game needs at least one 3 Ways to Play video
Just tuned in to see if Mike still 'Mikes the stealth/sniper' game
I understand that for.. I don’t know… gamer cred or whatever you just keep on after whiffing hard at the beginning by getting spotted immediately. Sometimes you just need to restart a checkpoint.
That's not a rocket launcher, that's a Panzerfaust. It Fausts Panzers...
“The Lavender Ghost” is the name of my new assassin!
