The stark environmental contrast was a good move on Rebellion’s part, as it’s been a good while since we’ve seen Fairburne trudging through ice and snow. If you’ve played Sniper Elite 4, however, you’ll know that Rebellion isn’t concerned with telling a touching or poignant war tale, as instead the narrative is designed to do nothing more than to contextualize the playground for killing additional Nazis. The point is that Fairburne is a far cry away from the paradisiacal plains of Italy’s southern coastline, having been dropped headfirst into a naval base situated in the chillier climate of the country’s northern region.Īssigned with taking out a German destroyer boat and recovering a package known as Deathstorm, the mini-campaign places a focus on the role of nuclear development during World War II. This isn’t saying much, considering that it’s hard to remember what those events even were (the Germans lost, I remember that much). “Deathstorm Part 1: Inception” – which is quite the mouthful for the name of a DLC pack – takes place immediately after the events of Sniper Elite 4 ’s main game.
