What is Sniper Elite?
The '''Sniper Elite series''' is a series of [[stealth]]-based [[World War II]] [[third-person shooter]] [[video game]]s with special attention placed on long-distance [[bullet]] [[physics]]. In these games, players need to pay attention to how far their enemies are, the [[effective range]] of their [[sniper rifle]]s, and how hard the [[wind]] is blowing, since all of these will affect where the player's bullets will hit. Most of the levels are about the player going to the [[vantage point]] (the best place for a sniper to kill his or her target), killing or destroying his or her target, and [[Evacuation|evacuating]] the area.

The games have an [[X-ray]] feature that shows where the bullets hit the enemy and how the bullets [[Injury|injure]] enemies. Points are awarded based on how far the player is, where the player hits the enemy, and whether other enemy soldiers notice the player killing them. Along with a sniper rifle, the player can also carry a [[pistol]], a [[submachine gun]], and [[Explosive material|explosives]]. Some pistols have a [[suppressor]] so that the player can kill enemies without being heard, others do not, so the player must be careful when choosing his or her weapons. Submachine guns are best used in emergency close-quarters firefights, but the player must be careful not to waste [[Ammunition|ammo]]. Explosives can be used to lay [[trap]]s for the enemy or protect the player from being [[Flanking maneuver|flanked]]. In some of the games, the
