Sniper: Ghost Warrior

Will give the demo a whirl.
I really liked Sniper Elite, and even though the MP was a little rough around the edges it was a good fun game. Sniping is a patient man's game.
The Long Range sniper mod for COD2 is pretty cool. I always liked the element of concealment/movement observation and prediction of target location to secure that one great shot rather than racking up huge numbers of kills. Very satisfying when it all comes together.
Sniper Elite came close with the ballistics, yet still remained intuitively engaging, plus the game had a certain style I liked. I've had a quick go with the scope mods for ArmA, which was more like what you actually have to do when calculating a shot at long range.
Not really found a game that ticks all of the sniping boxes yet though.

wow this game is really xxxx! It's a shame cause when I could actually snipe it was great fun, really liked the slow motion of the bullet over long distances. However everyone was able to see where I was even if I was not moving at all, covered by bushes and I didn't even fire a shot at the time, then got to the next checkpoint was right at the back with lots of bushes covering me, kill 1 guy next thing I am getting fired at from across map, and I couldn't even see them even with the focus mode on. It felt as though I had no ghillie suit on at all and was wearing brightly coloured clothes with a huge sign above my head saying "I AM HERE" 
. Difficulty was on medium. Won't be buying this game, not realistic one bit, since when could people see you so clearly half way across a map when your wearing a ghillie suit in a jungle .
Rant over.
Kind of reminded me of this a wee bit lol:

Anyone else having a problem creating a multiplayer account?
Just downloaded the demo and each time I try and create an account I get a "Register Timeout". Same happens for my clan mate.
Maybe their servers are down this evening?!?

I think multiplayer does not even work, same with registering but not 100% sure.
Played the demo for abit there, like you guys said it sucked bad.
I was hiding in lots of bushes at the freekin start and got spotted after i crawled abit by a guy across the camp, through a tree that I couldnt even see and he wasnt hiding! Same thing happened a lot after that, gave up pretty fast. (that was on easy!)

This. First mission I rappel down instead of clearing the guards from my vantage point because they insta spot me and kill me. I get down to ground level and guards run at me from all directions, kill them all, lie in long grass, shoot some guy 300m away in the head and all his buddies insta know where I am.
So much wasted potential.
wait till u get to the close quarters combat - it's AWFUL.
One of the missions you have to clear a village, you 2 squad mates just stand about 150 m behind u doing nothing, and all the AK's/M16 etc weapons have the most AWFUL hit detection ever. Takes ages.
I killed on guy with a knife throw, with no shots fired and 2 other enemies about 150m away turn and start shooting!

Got the full game and it's very meh.
Liked the demo, though it's not without its faults.
Didn't like the instant fail on the first mission if you get detected. But rather than trying to uber stealth and sneak by unnoticed, killing all of the bad guys in the camp was largely a question of spotting them and firing from concealment, then relocating.
The detection meter wasn't bad either. That and the deflection/ballistic modelling too. So many 'sniping' slots in games are just point and click, which is fun (the cod2 long range sniper mod is really entertaining, for example) but it doesn't go that extra step to making a difficult shot into a great shot.
However, the thing I noticed from the outset was that when the bullet time slo-mo thing happens and you get to see the round spinning to its target... there's no rifling marks on the bullet.
Like Sniper Elite, the bullet time effect was nicely done and was shown just enough to appreciate that sneaky headshot, but not so much that it became annoying.
I wonder if the full game will support such features as killing a squad of enemies by shooting a grenade on the belt of the guy in the middle?
I liked the look of the environment and the thought/patience in stalking a bad guy, then putting his lights out.
I think this one might be a purchase a few months down the line. Perhaps see if play.com reduce it from 17 quid?
