Game with the Best Sniping?

[Symp4thy]

I can't believe (although I guess I'm not surprised) that people are claiming Halo's sniping is good. Halo's sniping is awful. It makes the game completely unbalanced. There are no drawbacks to sniping. In most games, if you are sniping, while jumping, running, etc. your accuracy is greatly reduced, and you wouldn't be able to hit the broad side of a barn without a ton of luck. Right about now people are saying, "Well you still have to be skilled to hit people." To that I respond: that could be said for any weapon.

I guess my point is, sniping in Halo takes much less skill than in many other games, therefore many more people are "good" at it, and it throws off the balance. Plus, I don't know how many times I've seen team killing from people fighting over the sniper rifle.

This could be true of other games as well, I don't know, I don't play very many FPS. If I had to pick one I guess I'd say Counterstrike, but what do I know.

Just my opinion.

TF2. Just the look on the Heavy's face as he goes down.

And his final yelp of pain.

"AAAAAHHHH YAAAH DAAH!"

God I love it when the Heavy gets killed....

CoD4 and TF2 has the most enjoyable sniping by far.

No-one's mentions Brothers in Arms: HH...for realism, pretty damn good. Fairly fun in the story too.

Only 2 real games come to mind here for me, Halo on PC (yes on PC) because of the way it forced you to put lead on your shots if anyone was more than 10 feet away. Not much is as satisfying as perfectly timing a head shot on someone running perpendicular to you on a map by putting just the right about of lead on it.

The other is simple, Counter strike, its not complicated and probably overly simplistic, but perhaps thats why its so appealing.

Sniping in Star Wars: Battlefront was very fun.

Sniper Elite.

Why are there so few people who played Sniper Elite? That game was so damn good, especially on co-op. The camera follows the bullet straight into their poor, unsuspecting face, what more could you want?

Sniper Elite. The whole game is about sniping, this should be a no brainer.

Good to know I'm not the only one who thinks the same

I personaly enjoyed CoD 4 and TF2 the best, but I hate sniping in Halo 3. Either you can no-scope someone from across the map, or you freaking suck. Unfortunately, I fall into the latter group.

yeah the CoD4 chernobyl sequence was excellent for sniping. sniping is my favourite mode of combat, sit back and pick people off, ahhhh fun, anywho, MGS4 had some good sniping, the boss fight from MGS3 "The End" was probably one of the best bosses ive ever encountered and VERY much like enemy at the gates duels, aand then theres good old SoFII hahaha that game was so gory...yet scarily satisfying

TF2 because the sight doesn't bob around everywhere. I don't care if it's unrealistic, that pisses me off!
Plus, headshotting scouts in mid-double jump and taking out rampaging heavies with medics are the most satisfying things ever.

I totally agree.

Halo 3 Deffinetly. Plus it's so fun. But it's not easy for everyone. Once you get really good like me with the sniper, you prefer it over any other weapon.

CoD 5, I love sniping with just the iron sights, it feels so rewarding. Although Halo 3 quite good too.

Fallout 3, once you get the Gauss Rifle. That thing rulz.

Also, the regular sniper rifle was pretty good. One of the few weapons that was awesome in real-time. In fact, it usually worked better manually than in VATS
