Games where sniping is fun.

I always thought the battlefront 2 sniping was fun, depending on the planet, with all the toys you got to play with while you did it.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 has excellent sniping. The maps are large enough that bullet drop can play a factor and you have to lead moving targets. While this makes it difficult, once you line up the shot and hit your mark, it's by far the most satisfying sniping experience in gaming (that I've played).

That.

Also, TF2 has pretty fun sniping. Not sure if you want to deal with TF2 tho...

Battlefield: Bad Company 2. I love the sound of the sniper rifle.

Sniping in Killing Floor is pretty fun. Granted, if it's with anything other then the Crossbow, it can be a bit ehh.

Nothing quite like waiting out slow-motion than by reloading a crossbow just in time to miss out on it
My sniping fun would be either in battlefield 2 or team fortress 2. CRITICAL HIT!

Gonna have to say Delta Force 2 in its multiplayer prime.

The maps took hours to walk across, with varied terrains. Hills, valleys, rivers. Everything.

You could go 2 hours without seeing an enemy in a 20 man game, and you had to adjust your scope for distance, then bullet drop. The farthest shots had you aiming 20-30 feet above your enemy. And ghillie suits actually worked perfectly.

Damn you graphic improvements and new games! I miss DF2

Silent Scope.

...no contest there, in my opinion.

MW2, Intervention, at close range. - if you enjoy this, you must die... painfully =)
As for me, i love the rifles in Fallout:NV, so much so that i ignore all other weapons.

Borderlands. Lots of rifles to pick from and blood spraying goodness as rewards. Plus the mad loot is always a great bonus. (And pity the bandit who thinks his shield will save him)

Far Cry 2 actually impressed me as far as sniping goes. There's just something satisfying about finding an excellent sniping spot above an enemy base then tearing into their forces before they can return fire.

The better you are at it, the better it feels.

Operation Flashpoint, Arma, Arma2.

Stuff like that.

Very satisfying to put a bullet through a high value target at long range, after perfectly judging the drop, and even the windage, and enjoy the fact that his comrades are having a long, difficult game of trying to guess where the hell it came from.

Another person that values realism in a game, excellent. I enjoy actually having to do the math before taking the shot, and utilizing a spotter just adds to the enjoyment.

"Two targets near the gas station, 600 metres, wind... null, send it!"

Good Times...

BF:Bad Company 2. The bullet drop, the ping as you get a headshot. Some skill required instead of usual line crosshair over head, fire.

Some of the most fun I've had on Xbox this year was to stay a mile behind everyone else and shoot defenders. And have competitions between friends online at the time to who could get a headshot at the longest range.

I really enjoyed being a sniper on Borderlands. Those quick-fire sniper-rifles = amazeballs.

 

[ultrachicken]

The only bad thing about Bad Company's sniping is the fact there are so many snipers, and the friggin 50.cal.

Practically any game with sniping has fun sniping I guess.
Theres just degrees of how well its done.

I'm beginning to notice a decrease in people playing the Recon class, at least in BFBC2. Most people play medic now, actually.

In BFBC1 I could swear I was the only spec ops, but I was a master at stealth in that game for no god-damned reason.

What was I supposed to talk about? Oh, right, sniping. I pretty much like sniping in all games, except in halo. It just never feels... right.

Ever been in a sniper fight on Bad Company 2?

That is unparalleled fun. Especially on Arica Harbor. Ducking between buildines and hills, trading sniper shots, trying to catch your opponent when he makes a mistake. Having to account for distance. It's just, sheer joy.

I was recently in a long and drawn out sniper fight on BC2. I was on the map Heavy Metal (one of the new ones) and i was halfway up one of the mountains. The other guy was behind a log a fair way away, right next to his last base, and we were trading sniper shots for a good 15 minutes. He relocated to the mountain opposite the canyon and we resumed. Eventually people at the base of my mountain started taking pot shots at me, and I paused to deal with them, only to recieve a headshot from my adversary who would've had to aim (and I know this because a couple of mine landed right next to his head) about 4 and a half to 5 notches above my head. Even though I died, it had to be one of my greatest gaming experiences.

OT: I have to agree that BFBC2 is probably my favourite game to use a sniper rifle on. Most of the other games have too little range for it to be well-done. However, there are a few maps on Halo 3 and Halo Reach (fewer on the latter) that have the right range for the sniping to be enjoyable. The bad part about BC2 is how everything is covered by a haze the further away it is.

GTA, but for different reasons. Sniping rampage of innocent bystanders and then a standoff with the police. Always fun.

Any Ghost Recon Pre-Advanced Warfighter.

TF2 is fun with both the Sniper rifle and the Huntsman, plus the Sniper has some awesome lines.
