Best sniper game

[Sn1P3r M98]

Post your favorite sniper game and why this is your favorite! DONT YOU DARE say MW2 multiplayer. Mine would have to be BFBC or BFBC2 multiplayer. I love how there is actually bullet drop and all the different sniper rifle choices, and also how you have to switch areas because other players will eventually find you.

Why can't we say Modern Warfare? It had fairly good sniper parts.

I'd say Battlefield: 1943 or TF2, mainly because you can't quick scope and because it's basically point gun, shoot, reload, repeat.

Wait, why can't we say MW2? I found Sniper Fi bloody fun and CoD 4 multiplayer wasn't bad when the server decided to play along.

*obligatory post with regards to KillZone 2*

Yeah if you get to choose BattleField I'm choosing KillZone 2, where using the sniper rifle takes skill up against anyone not with the sniper rifle.

OK i take it back you can say MW2 Single player or Spec Ops. I totally overlooked those sniper missions, they were so much fun. Just not MW2 multiplayer.*so horrid* *so horrid*

I wouldn't know, I own the PC version of MW2 and can't even get into the multiplayer because it keeps failing to connect me.

And here I thought that a "sniper game" would actually have to simulate the act of sniping, rather than "point gun, shoot".

As Furburt mentioned, Sniper Elite is a good one, sniping in the ARMA games is fairly realistic as well.

There is also this upcoming game titled "Ghost Warrior" which seems relatively interesting.

I dunno. I actually enjoyed sniping in that one Valve game. You know the one. Something Strike.

Lets just say that if you had shaky hands in Killzone 2, you were quickly weeded out.

Totally agreed. MW2 is the only online shooter where I don't actually feel like a sniper even if my character looks the most like one with those fancy ghillie suits.

i don't remember what it was called but it was an arcade game that you held a sniper and pointed at the screen to shoot...it was by far the best sniper game i've ever played.

BFBC 2, because your enemies are other people.

It makes it all the more satisfying when you crouch in a bush as a tank slowly rolls past, hoping you don't get noticed.

Shame it's plagued by connection issues...

Probably one of the silent scope series.

OT: I liked the silent scope games and sniper art of victory. Theyre by no means realistic but you feel like a sniper.

Silent Scope. I spent a fuckton of money perfecting my skills on that a while back.

 

[ForensicYOYO]

Hopefully the game Sniper that will be coming out. Ive played games with sniper rifles but no true sniper game.

 

[neilsaccount]

hopefully this will be mine. It looks really fun and has everything to do with sniping

silent scope thats what it was called ah man i loved that game. but what i want to know is how many of you have actually shot a REAL sniper. i hear a lot of "oh it was realistic" but i really doubt most or any of you have actually shot one to compare it with the video game ones. granted yes the silent scope ones were that realistic mainly because a sniper defiantly has some kick back to it...that would be kind of fun to add to an arcade game a rifle with a kick to it.

Only one mission really, and that's "All Ghillied Up" in COD4:MW. There was one part where you snipe someone in a church tower. I had all the graphics on the highest settings, and the sound of the sillenced shot, the bloodspatter on the windows. It was just...wow. Goosebumps moment.

MacMillan's VO was just awesome in this level. To quote him "Beautiful".

Spoiler

I also enjoyed sniping in GRAW games.

[Added]

That Sniper: Ghost Warrior game is looking particularly appetising at the moment

Erhm... Dont have BFBC2... Sooo... MW2 Multiplayer?

I love sitting the the scrubbery, camping for hours at the time... Only interupted by map changes and toilet breaks.

And to quote you:"and also how you have to switch areas because other players will eventually find you".

I just love the whining from the guy you have just killed 4 times in a row, when he finnaly thinks he have found you, only to find out that you have moved... And shot him again!

Oh the joys...


And then there is the camo, which works really well! As far as iv been told about BFBC2, you cant lie down, which really limits your hiding-spots... And is rather unrealistic

"Lie down!? Then I would get dirty! Wouldnt want that would we now!?"

What I meant by realism was simply bullet drop and other wind and weather effects. Silent scope and art of victory shoot right at the cross hair every single time with no drop so its not realistic in that sense. That was merely what I was trying to say.
