If Sniper Elite 3 was a tentative step toward open level design, Sniper Elite 4 is a confident leap. The developers at Rebellion understood that the "sniper fantasy" isn't about twitch reflexes; it's about patience, observation, and exploitation of terrain.

The "White House" level (Allagra Fortress) is a prime example: it is a labyrinth of courtyards and corridors where failing stealth doesn't mean a restart, but rather a scramble to a new hiding spot.
