Top 10 Sniper Games

Sniper Elite.
That is all.

Could do with a new sniper only game. The gameplay for S.E. was superb, the controls...not so much.

I really don't like sniping as it is the wussiest range, and it is stealthy, and everyone knows stealth is for girly men.
I am really annoyed though, because I am really good at sniping.

I liked sniping in STALKER: Clear Sky.
Although getting a decent sniper-rifle was quite difficult, not to mention it always jams before you can even empty a full clip.

Hmm, that game crashed my PC way too much, shame they dont have it on consoles.

i heard somewhere that after call of pripyat has been released they are going to work on a console port for shadow of chernobyl.

1-10:JFK Reloaded

Best sniping game ever by far

I love to snipe in MW and MW2. So much fun with a hunt of challenge.

I'm not the best sniper, but I actually think my favorite game to snipe in was Army Men: Sarge's Heroes, but mainly just because of the maps.

It was always fun shooting one of my brothers from the wall mounted toilet paper roll. They never knew what hit em... until they started screen watching.

In no particular order, UT3, Fallout3, CoD4...i cant remember the rest.

MW1 was a fun game to snipe when playing certain maps. "All Ghillied Up" was a brilliant mission as well.
MW2 not quite as entertaining for me, the guns just arent as fun for some reason and I dont know the maps well enough yet

Far Cry 2 was a fun one as it gave you assassination missions or simply choosing to ambush a checkpoint in your own way and planning the most efficient way to kill everyone quickly. That combined with the bolt action rifle only being reloaded when you unscope added pace to it. Also I think far cry 2 has some of the best sound effects for weapons ever. I get a kick everytime I fire the sniper rifle in that game

thats a nice list of games. personally, i love sniping. i even have the red vs blue t-shirt that says, 'its a legitimate strategy', with a picture of a sniper rifle in a tent next to a fire.

i love sniping, never any good at it though unless im playing ut2004.
my top 6 list of sniping games
1) ut2004
2) TF2
3) gears of war 2
4) mass effect (love the sniping on this)
5) halo series
6) L4D, L4D2

You meant to say the original UT right? 2004 destroyed the sniper.

1) Unreal Tournament
2) TF2
3) DOD:S

Can't think of anymore at the moment.

You ACTUALLY got a copy of that?!

One of my friends was trying to get it, couldn't find it.
You still got the link?

I find the battlefields series is the best, also if "Sniper elite" is that one where you have to shoot a a tanks fuel tank, and where you spend almost the whole time moving rather than camping, then it's not only unrealistic but also pretty low quality

 

[brunothepig]

Definitely the original Unreal Tournament. Far Cry 2 is fun, cause the A.I is so good. I've seen people scrambling for cover, assuming I was on the other side of the camp. It's hilarious to see someone peek over a barrier, then shoot them in the back of the head. Borderlands, not revolutionary in any way, but the mechanics are good. And setting people on fire never gets old. And, of course, Modern Warfare 1 and 2. I can't give you ten though.

I was one of the few people who liked far cry 2 but I found the sniping to be particularly fun in that game because of the AI, physics and open world environments, although it was a bit too easy as if you find a good sniping point, you can take out any of the enemies before they get within shooting range and the only real challenge was finding the other snipers and survivors

It was twice as fun when you set the entire base on fire with some well placed shots from a flare gun as it kills hiding enemies and blocks up escape routes

I love sniping. I just suck at it.

Tsk Tsk. I'm balls at it.

My friends dont agree with your t-shirt. They call me a coward.

For me, Sniper elite is the best one, Sniper: the art of victory is alright as is Marine Sharpshooter 3. Newer games that I enjoy sniping on are rainbow 6 vegas 2 and CoD4 + MW2

but I like sniping and it's all I can do (but I mean proper sniping where I often use my ghillie suit to get knife/pistol kills as well)

 

[orangebandguy]

Battlefield games are great for sniping, asides from 2142.

Infinite spots to hide in and relies on outsmarting the other sniper. Not twitch aiming from 20 feet away.

 

[Wadders]

Far Cry 2 is great for sniping.

Shooting a guy in the kneecap, waiting for his mate to come out and pick him up, then shooting them both. Priceless.

Or blowing up an entire camp from half a mile away with a few well places shots to conveniently positioned fuel tanks and such

Crysis also had a fun sniper rifle. Just the noise it made was enough to make me use it as much as I could.

MW2 has good sniping in the campaign/ spec ops, but on MP the maps are often to close-quarters for me to attempt it. I do have the ACOG for the M14 EBR now though, so I use it as a battle rifle, rather than a sniper
