Sniper Elite for $2 on Steam
wraith808:
Sniping in Sniper Elite is as different from sniping in other games as ... I can't think of a metaphor. But it's *really* different. But it's a decent enough game for $2- I got it for $2.50 at the Christmas Sale, and haven't regretted it.
EDIT: I didn't really tell what the difference was. You have to think and reason like a sniper- that includes heart rate on shots, awareness of muzzle flash and report for relocation, windage... and you're using WW2 era rifles, so it's worse than a modern game is with these factors. And there's also the patience factor. There's not really been a WW2 era shooter with this level of detail towards sniping that I can remember. So if you like being a sniper in other games, this will be cool. If you like using the sniper rifle in other games (i.e. like the kills and such), this game will be a bit frustrating.
JavaJones:
Hehe, yeah I figured any game focused on sniping would be pretty hardcore. And I read the description. So I pretty much knew what I was getting into. Haven't tried it yet, but I'm ready to *try* to be serious about sniping... :D

it's really not that hard core at all -- at least on certain difficulty levels.
i wouldn't say you have to do much different from any sniping in fps games except aim a little higher, at least on easy difficulty levels.
it is more of a stealth game though, and much of the enjoyment comes from watching your bullet fly in slow motion.
wraith808:
I'm not sure what difficulty level I'm on... but depending on the range, it's almost *impossible* to get a headshot if a target is moving, and anything other than a headshot means that you're pretty much re-loading in many (most?) cases. Contrast that with TF2, the BF series, CS... where I get headshots without thinking about it... and that's why I give it the hardcore when juxtaposed with them. And yes, aim a bit higher... but then there's the breathing and heart rate to consider. But it's fun nonetheless :)

IT BETTER BE GOOD MOUSER! I bought it on your recommendation alone!
