I'm about to play the game for the first time, should I put the difficulty on Marksman or Sniper Elite.

Edit: I decided to play it on Marksman, some parts are easy, but some parts are just straight out annoying; im going to leave this thread open for anyone else who is trying to decide the diffuculty for sniper elite v2.

This game's fucking hard and unforgiving. Mainly because it's a stealth game without a fucking save system. I recommend putting it on Marksman, but maybe you're better than me...

No quicksaves if I remember well, it's all checkpoints.

Autosaves are not saves. Saving is when you fucking CHOOSE to save your progress, not when your reach a fucking predetermined checkpoint.

What's wrong with being a little stealthy? I played it on Marksman and I just shot everyone. It wasn't a bit hard. I didn't even want to try stealth mode, it must be even more easier than just changing your positions to kill everyone.

Stealth in this game doesn't mean not killing anyone. You're a fucking sniper, ffs, killing is what you do, you're not Sam Fischer. Stealth here means shooting everyone without anyone knowing where you are and coming after you to flank you. I fucked up a lot in this game and it really annoyed the shit out of me that I couldn't save the game and do the trial and error process which I used in all stealth games: Deus Ex, Splinter Cell, Thief, Dishonored.

Sniper Elite difficulty isn't hard until you meet the russian sniper team. It's hell.

Sniper Elite is the only difficulty where bullets are affected by gravity and wind, so if you want full sniper experience, I'd say go for it. Other than that, I'd say the game is more annoying than hard, too simple and straightforward than the game developers actually want it to be.

I put it on hardest difficulty without the visual aids. It's unforgivingly hard, you get flanked, you're done. I raged a lot, but the feeling you get when you finally beat a mission...

Wouldn't it be great if everyone on this site who played a game for the first time created a thread asking what difficulty to play it on?

Well it is an important question. Some games are just ridiculously easy on the hardest difficulties.

And others are ridiculously hard on "Normal".

If it has MORE than 3 difficulties, go for the one before the last.If it has 3, go for the last one.

Well it is pretty annoying on the last diffuculty, I suggest the one before the last.I don't remember the name.

Definitely Sniper Elite, it's not a difficult game, and it's much more fun

On Sniper Elite difficulty you need to wait for your victims for 4-8 hours staying on the spot, pee in the jar and explore locations looking for said jars.

I think I played through on Marksman and it was way too easy in general.
