Shinning a light on what the critics have to say about the latest instalment in […]
Expansive Campaign
Many real-world locations have been captured using photogrammetry to recreate a living, immersive environment, and multiple infiltration and extraction points and kill list targets provide a whole new perspective on each mission. Take on the Nazi plot solo or work with a partner, with improved co-op mechanics allowing you to share ammo and items, give orders and heal each other.
Advanced Gunplay Physics And Traversal
Use ziplines, slide down slopes and shimmy along ledges to reach the perfect vantage point, or to sneak past a sharp-eyed lookout. Factor in rifle stock and barrel options along with gravity, wind and heart rate while you line up your sights on the target.
High Calibre Customization
Use workbenches to customise and upgrade virtually every aspect of your weapon – change scopes, stocks, barrels, magazines and more. Rifles, secondaries and pistols all have a huge variety of options. On top of that you can select the ammo to suit your target, from armour-piercing right down to non-lethal.
Invasion Mode Drop-In PVP
Campaign Drop in PvP and Co-Op – Invade another player’s Campaign as an Axis sniper and engage in a deadly game of cat and mouse, providing a new dimension to the challenge as you stalk your prey. Alternatively, as Karl you can call for assistance and have a second sniper drop in to help you out of a tricky situation.
Tense Adversarial Multiplayer
Customise your character and loadout and earn XP, medals and ribbons as you take on intensely competitive 16 player battles that will really test your sharpshooting skills. If co-op’s more your style, you can team up with up to 3 other players against waves of enemies in Survival mode.
Enhanced Kill Cam
More realistic and grisly than ever, the trademark X-ray kill cam returns, showing you the true destructive power of each shot. Bones deflect bullets unpredictably, ripping a new path through enemy bodies. SMGs and pistols can also trigger kill cams, including multiple shots in dramatic slow motion.

Co-Optimus — Video — Sniper Elite V2 PC Demo Now Available, Preorder to Take Out Hitler
Rebellion’s Sniper Elite V2 is set to release on consoles and PC on Tuesday, May 1 — less than two weeks from now.
If you’ve been wanting a realistic sniping game and are eager to try it out, the freshly-released PC demo should cure what ails ya. A free download on Steam, the demo shows off the game’s impressive graphics, realistic and methodical gameplay, and unparalleled killcam.
While the demo doesn’t include co-op campaign support, it does give us a great idea of what to expect from the full game. Players start out in a ruined European town during World War II. The objective? To secure some explosives and use them to stop a Nazi convoy. Along the way, you’ll have lots of opportunities to shoot foes from near and preferably, as far away as possible.
A number of factors affect the sniping experience beyond the rifle itself. If you’ve recently been running, for instance, you’ll need to let your heart rate slow down before firing. Holding your breath helps too and zooms the camera in a bit closer than otherwise. Even still, it’s quite possible to ‘no scope’ charging enemies in the heat of the moment, on lower difficulties at least.
On the higher difficulties, players will also need to compensate for bullet drop over distance and bullet drift over distance (wind) in order to make perfect shots.
Those well-aimed shots can be anywhere on the opponent’s body, as long as it kills rather than incapacitates. You’ll know you did it right when the camera switches to a third-person perspective and starts following the path of the bullet from your rifle to target. Wherever it hits, an X-ray view (similar to those of the recent Mortal Kombat, but better) shows the bullet’s effects in realistic detail. Just check out the screenshot above to see what I mean.
Preorder Bonus
Even if you don’t play PC games, I can assure you that Sniper Elite V2 is a very safe buy for fans of shooters or sniping in general. I usually suck at sniping in competitive games, but the single-player and cooperative focus here, as well as multiple difficulty levels, means that even slow shooters like me can have a blast.
Sniper Elite V2 launches at a $49.99 price tag across all platforms, so the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 versions won’t hurt your wallet as much as most new releases. Preorder from Amazon, GameStop, Steam, and other participating retailers and you’ll get a very cool DLC bonus mission, ‘Kill Hitler.’
You have the leader of the Nazi war machine is in your sights and one clear shot. Do you have the skill and nerve to take that shot and Kill Hitler?
As the Thousand Year Reich collapses, you have received intelligence that Adolf Hitler is returning to Berlin on board his personal train. Intercept it as it waits at the station. One brief opportunity to do what so many wish had been done – Kill Hitler!
The Sniper Elite V2 pre-purchase offer also includes two extra authentic sniping weapons – the Soviet semi-automatic battle rifle SVT-40 and the standard German service rifle Kar 98:
With its big clip and semi-automatic fire, SVT-40 is the brute of the sniping world.But its lower muzzle velocity leads to more bullet drop over longer ranges, challenging the skills of even the most experienced player.
With the Karabiner you have access to the most powerful zoom in Sniper Elite V2, perfect for long range pinpoint shooting – but only if you can successfully master the ‘Empty Lung’ technique.
Sniper Elite V2 supports 2 player online campaign co-op, plus three additional multiplayer game types. It comes to Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and PC on May 1.

Double-click on «Sounds And Audio Devices» (this may be listed as «Sounds and Multimedia» under earlier versions of Windows). Select Audio and click on the Advanced button in the Sound Playback section. Click on performance. Drag the slider called Hardware Acceleration towards the left. Click on Ok.

Known Issues:
1) Issue:
On some systems with Windows XP and a Creative SoundBlaster Live! sound card, there may be occasional sound corruption. The user will hear continuous white noise.
Workaround:
Set the sound card Hardware Acceleration to «None», as described above.
2) Issue:
Connecting to an online game often fails with a Network Connection Error.
Internet gameplay is choppy despite a good internet connection, and the player is occasionally dropped from the game.
Sniper Elite uses UDPLite (Protocol 17) on ports 21540 and 54468. These ports may be blocked by home routers with a security firewall.
Workaround:
Make sure that these ports are open on any software firewall running on your computer, and also ensure that any hardware routers are set to allow traffic through these ports.
3) Issue:
The game crashes or freezes with certain combinations of hardware.
Systems that have particular motherboards, with the VIA KT266 chipset and an AMD processor, may crash or freeze when used with certain graphics cards.
Workaround:
There is currently no complete solution to this problem. However, in some cases changing the graphics settings in the game may resolve the issue.

List of the best games about snipers on PC: videos, screenshots
03/07/2018 Pavel Makarov No comments
Snipers stand out quite strongly from other types of troops.
The work of marksmen is fundamentally different from anything else. The business of snipers is very painstaking. Their work can be compared with jewelers, because it also requires precision and skill. Any mistake is unacceptable, therefore, snipers in the army are valued, because not everyone dares to take such a risk.
Past sniper games
Rescue: The Embassy Mission on the NES platform can be considered the first «sniper simulator» game. There, for the first time during the gameplay, the work of a sniper was featured. It was necessary to aim with the help of an optical sight. Like all old video games, the system wasn’t perfect, but it was still a breakthrough.
Also back in 1999, an arcade machine appeared in Japan that simulated the actions of a sniper. The «machine» was an imitation of a sniper rifle, with which you had to aim at enemies on the screen. It can also be noted that the weapon was not «light», but only included an analog joystick that was in the stand.
Modern games are trying harder and more accurately to convey the complexity of the sniper profession. But many factors, even with the current possibilities, are difficult to take into account. But playing as a sniper is still very interesting, because there is no job like this.
Homefront: The Revolution
Release Date: 2016
Genre: FPS, Open World
Developer: Dambuster Studios
Publisher: 0006
The sequel to the first Homefront has become more popular than its predecessor, which many have not even heard of when it was released. But she still has nothing to brag about. A standard shooter in which only the original plot is visible. Not everyone loves the setting of modernity, but many will like the alternative history. It is not known what helped the creators with such an idea, but in the game, North Korea, which has developed incredibly strongly, attacked the United States, and the main character must give them resistance.
Screenshots of Homefront: The Revolution
Normal multiplayer was not brought here, but there is a cooperative with various tasks. The local locations will allow the player to quietly hide on a destroyed tall building and shoot from it at opponents with a sniper rifle. Despite the reviews, the game is still worth evaluating yourself.
Sniper Blacklist
Release date: 0020 Publisher: jago138
Recently released indie development has managed to collect a lot of negative reviews. But despite this, the game remains a good sniper simulator. There is no plot here. There are only certain missions where the task is to kill the right amount of people. The work of a sniper is quite realistic here: the direction of the wind, the movement of the sight, and even the sound of the character’s breathing are present here.
Screenshots of Sniper Blacklist
In addition to shooting from a sniper rifle, it is also offered to move on a horse.
Very realistic, but sometimes a little cartoony graphics pleases the eye, and different locations only diversify the passage.
SPEC OPS: The Line
Release date: 2016
Genre: first -person shooter, Open World
Developer: Dambuster Studios 9002 : Deep Silver 9000 9000 9000 9000 9000 9000 9000 9000 9000 9000 9000 9000 9000 9000 9000 9000 9000 9000 9000 9000 9000 9000 9000 9000 9000 9000 9000 9000 9000 9000 9000 9000 9000 : The Line, because it looks like the most common third-person shooter. But the developers tried to do everything so that it did not become such. Not to say that they did it flawlessly. Most of it is made according to all the standards of modern shooters, but there are also differences.
Screenshots of Spec Ops: The Line
Since everything takes place after a giant sandstorm in Dubai, the main character will be chased by sand throughout the game. But it has become part of the gameplay, so you can easily use it in the fight against opponents.
In addition to the task of a sniper in multiplayer, you will have to go through a couple of difficult missions with a sniper rifle. And also throughout the game next to us will be a sniper. He needs to point to the target that needs to be killed.
Hitman: Absolution
Release date: 2012
Genre: STELS ACSHEN, third-party shooter
Developer: IO -intractive A/S
: Io -intERACTIVE A/S
The appearance of Hitman will be recognized even by those who have never touched the game. The series began its existence in 2000 and continues to release new games to this day. Each part is a continuation of the previous one, from which a huge game series is obtained, lasting several years. But if we take the role of a sniper, then people liked not the last part more, but the penultimate one, which was released in 2012.
Screenshots of Hitman: Absolution
As a stealth action game, a sniper rifle will come in handy here.
After all, this is one of the most silent methods of dealing with enemies. In the game, several types of weapons are given to choose from, and the player has the right to choose any of them. Or you can even complete missions without using weapons. The gamer can choose the method himself. Each of them is very interesting to play and difficult in its own way.
Arma 3 Marksmen
Release date: 2015
Genre: First Person Shooter, Simulation
Developer: Bohemia Interactive
Publisher: Bohemia Interactive
The Arma RPG shooter series is famous for its rich features. You can customize everything, down to the character’s equipment and the level editor. The third part, which is a remake of the first, was released in 2013 and immediately fell in love with many. But the main game isn’t as famous for its sniping capabilities as the Marksmen expansion.
Screenshots of Arma 3 Marksmen
It includes several types of completely new sniper weapons, and not only sniper rifles.
There is also a new disguise character outfit that will allow you to be completely invisible. A nice feature of Arma 3 is the training mode, where you can test weapons and learn how to shoot with them.
Battlefield 1
Release Date: 2016
Genre: first person shooter, World War I
Developer: EA DICE
Publisher: Electronic Arts
One of the most popular shooter series this year has pleased us with a new part. The World War I game was released in October 2016. The main emphasis in this part is on the multiplayer mode, because after the release of the game it was he who was praised by critics, leaving only positive reviews.
Screenshots of Battlefield 1
In the multiplayer game mode, you must select the role you will play. One of these is the sniper. But here he is called «scout». Apparently due to the fact that at the time of the events of the game there was no such thing.
But despite this, there are enough sniper devices in the game, and the main weapon, as expected, is a sniper rifle.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered
Release date: 2017
Genre: AMICITION ASTROIDE
Developer: Raven Software Another NOT POSSITIONAL: ACTIVING a series of military shooters could not miss this list. No matter how many parts come out, Call of Duty will still continue to be played. But not always everything new means better. The last parts are sold, but gamers are still more pleased to return to their roots. The developers (along with Activision) understand this, so they decided to give the players a pleasant surprise: to release a remake of the fourth part of the series.
Screenshots of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered
In the full remaster, graphics and sound components have changed dramatically, animation has also been greatly improved. The developers understand that everyone really liked the story part, and changing it would be a real crime.
Therefore, the beloved mission in Pripyat, where sniper abilities are most needed, remained in the remake. The most memorable in sniper missions is the camouflage system, where you have to lie almost under the feet of the enemy, and he should not notice you.
Far Cry 3
Release date: 2012

ubisi series of many avid gamers. These adventures on various islands, in the jungle, in prehistoric times… Everyone loved them. The main thing for which this series is loved is the variety of possibilities, an exciting plot and beautiful landscapes. Particularly many are pleased with the third part. Here you can go through the main storyline, and hunt, and shoot bandits. And it is precisely in the last two possibilities that the main work of the sniper lies.
Screenshots of Far Cry 3
The game has a large selection of different sniper rifles that can be obtained throughout the course. There are also a lot of places to hide, because the landscape is diverse. Shoot from the bushes, even from the mountains or hills. The realism of the process may be lacking compared to full-fledged sniper simulators, but this is also a game that is quite suitable for our task.
Sniper: Ghost Warrior
Release date: 2010
Genre: FPS, stealth action
Developer: City Interactive
Publisher: CI Games
many other game series are very few. Unlike the first two parts, the third, which will be released in April 2017, has acquired an open world. The setting of the modern world with fictional events looks unusual. The main character’s role is to save the world from World War II.
Screenshots of Sniper: Ghost Warrior
In addition to the role of passing as a sniper, you can play both by stealth and simply by «fast run».
But sniper gadgets and the nuances of work are shown very well here, so it’s worth playing through the game for him. There are also elements of parkour, as well as moving around the location on transport. And beautiful graphics and local landscapes will bring even more pleasure.
Sniper Elite
Release date: 2016
Genre: first person shooter, open world
Developer: Dambuster Studios
Publisher: Deep Silver
The most famous and popular sniper video game series. A real sniper simulator began its existence in 2005, and the last part was released quite recently, in February. This is not an ordinary shooter where you just need to kill by any means. Here the main component is stealth. It should be so, because the work of a sniper involves complete secrecy.
Screenshots of Sniper Elite
When the game first came out, gamers were not particularly spoiled with sniper weapons in other games, so the game became the closest to reality.
And to this day, she does not lose this status. Here, in addition to the simple shaking of the camera, the movement of the wind is implemented, and the exact calculation of the direction of the bullet, and much more.
One of the main features is the system for demonstrating the killing of the enemy, which shows the flight of a bullet in slow motion and the subsequent hit on the target. The game is recommended to all fans of realism in games. And the setting of World War II adds even more interest to the passage. It is unlikely that players will be able to see the war somewhere else through the scope of a sniper rifle.

TOP 15 best sniper games 2021 ranking
Popular shooter series such as Call of Duty and Battlefield offer their players a world of incredibly fun and cinematic gunfights. It is thanks to them that we can become participants in World War II, defenders of the Earth from an alien invasion, or the last survivors in the midst of a zombie apocalypse.
Nevertheless, such games will by no means satisfy the more demanding player who wants not only to periodically pull the trigger, but also to tighten his convolutions properly.
What to do if you want to shoot, but don’t want to turn off your brain? This is where sniper craft games come to the rescue.
In today’s article, we’ll take a look at 15 of the best sniper games and games that have top-notch sniper gameplay mechanics. And we will start with, perhaps, the most extraordinary toy in this regard…
9034 El3ite 4. . Hitman 3
15. Cyberpunk 2077
Release date: 10 December 2020
Developer: CD Projekt Red
: CENEGA, BANDAI Namco
2222222220021 FPS, RPG, Adventure
Platforms: Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S
Sniping: depends on character leveling and weapon selection
Cyberpunk 2077, released last December for personal computers and consoles, has been seriously criticized by both professional journalists and the most ordinary players — and deservedly so! However, having endured an unrealistic level of bugs, it becomes clear that Cyberpunk 2077 is a pretty good game with a pretty interesting story and gameplay.
The best guns in Cyberpunk 2077 are sniper rifles, which allow the player not only to shoot enemies from a distance, but also through concrete walls. Moreover, some rifles even allow you to place “headshots” by activating automatic aiming. In general, an extremely atypical sniper gameplay that not all fans of the craft will like.
14. Star Wars: Battlefront II
Release date:
Star Wars: Battlefront II is usually bought because of the multiplayer, but this game has a pretty good story mode, where you periodically get a sniper rifle in your hands. Of course, you don’t have to calculate any bullet flight path and wind direction, since rifles shoot with energy charges, but for fans of Star Wars and sniping, that’s it.
13. Battlefield V
Release date: November 20, 2018
Developer: EA DICE, Criterion Games
Publisher: Electronic Arts
Genre: FPS
Platforms: Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One
Battlefield V is a top-notch military first-person shooter set in World War II.
Battlefield V boasts a great — one of the best — story mode, but the main fun, of course, awaits you in the multiplayer mode. Huge maps with a bunch of players — a real paradise for lovers of sniper rifles. However, it is worth warning: such a weapon requires many hours of practice and nerves of steel.
Just one mission and an incredible number of ways to complete it — this is Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes. You can use various weapons and gadgets to achieve your goals, including sniper rifles. Plus, one cannot fail to note the rather realistic shooting physics and the behavior of artificial intelligence. Although the latter still sometimes fails, which causes rather funny situations.
11. Sniper Ghost Warrior 3
Release date: April 25, 2017
Developer: CI Games
: CI Games
Genre: FPS, Stealth, Open-World
Platforms: Windows, PlayStation 4, XBOXE
The release of Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 was not the smoothest — a game with a massive open world filled with numerous bugs and bugs of various calibers.
However, after almost four years (and a bunch of patches), we can safely say that Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 is a very good toy, especially for fans of sniper themes. The entire gameplay is built around sniper equipment and high-tech gadgets, such as a radio-controlled drone. As for the plot… it’s often sane, but don’t expect more from it.
10. Goldeneye 007
Release date: August 25, 1997
Developer: Rare
Publisher: Nintendo
Genre: FPS, STELTH
Platforms: Nintendo 64 )
Sniping: periodically during the campaign, depends on the style of play
Goldeneye 007 was developed by Rare in 1997 exclusively for the Nintendo 64 console. The game invites its player to take on the role of the legendary agent 007 — James Bond. The plot of the game partially follows the plot of the film «Golden Eye». Goldeneye 007 is, along with Metal Gear Solid, one of the first console video games to popularize stealth mechanics in the gaming industry.
As Bond, you will use a variety of spy equipment and firearms, including, of course, sniper rifles. Of course, you should not expect super-complex game mechanics with sniper shooting, because the game was released in the 97th, and for a console with an atypical controller. Goldeneye 007 is recommended for all fans of classic FPS games.
Hint: You can play Goldeneye 007 on a PC with a Nintendo 64 emulator, and with a keyboard and mouse (with proper setup).
The uniqueness of the game is the demonstration of inflicted damage through an x-ray camera. For example, if you shoot a bullet in the head of a Nazi, you can see how it tears through his eye and crashes into his brain. In Sniper Elite V2: Remastered you will find terribly gory, but surprisingly entertaining scenes of violence.
7. Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Wildlands
Release date: March 7, 2017
Developer: Ubisoft Paris, Ubisoft Annecy, Ubisoft Montpellier, Ubisoft Milan, Ubisoft Romania, Ubisoft Reflections
Publisher: Ubisoft
Genre: TPS, Stealth
Platforms: Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One
Sniping: depends on playstyle Ubisoft.
Here you will find a large open world, a variety of tasks and a rich arsenal of weapons — a sort of vinaigrette of the latest Ubisoft projects. I would like to say that the game is far from ideal, it has a certain number of quite obvious disadvantages, however, the mechanics with a sniper rifle are made with a bang and it is very fun to kill unsuspecting soldiers from a long distance.
6. Sniper Ghost Warrior: Contracts
Release date: November 22, 2019
Developer: ci Games
: CI Games
PRION: FPS, STEALTH 9002 2 , Xbox One
Sniping: almost constant
Some of you may have thought that the Sniper Ghost Warrior series ended with the third part, but this is not so. At the end of 2019, the fourth part, Sniper Ghost Warrior: Contracts, was released. After not the most flattering reviews of their latest game, the Poles decided to move away from the now popular open world, developing more compact, curated missions for the new project.
And you know what? It turned out much better. Wanted to play a semi-realistic sniper simulator? Sniper Ghost Warrior: Contracts is perfect for you.
3. Hitman 2
Release date: November 13, 2018
Developer: IO Interactive
Publisher: WB Games
Genre: TPS, STELTH
Platforms: Winds, PLAR
Sniping: depends on playstyle
Hitman 2 is a direct sequel to the episodic Hitman released in 2016. Owners of the first, original game can get access to the so-called Legacy Pack, which unlocks improved versions of missions from the previous game and other additional content. In Hitman 2, you will have plenty of opportunities to show off your sniper skills.
Literally every mission in the game is its own little sandbox, where tasks can be completed in a variety of ways, including with a sniper rifle. In modern — and not only modern — Hitman, the shooting mechanics are not super-realistic, but this is quite expected, because the game constantly pushes the player to be as stealthy as possible, use his head and not ask for trouble.
