What is your favorite sniper rifle from any video game? Mine is Halo's beam rifle.

I would have to go with the sniper rifles in call of duty 2 for 360... all of them! The sniping in that game is just so spot-on that it makes online multiplayer extremely tense. Call of duty 3, however, somehow managed to completely destroy the awesome sniping of the second game (I guess due to the developer change). Now I have COD 4 for PS3 and the sniping seems to have been put back on track.

Iwould've said the Barrett .50 Cal if they got it right in Call of Duty 4, but splitting people in half with bullets doesn't happen online.

I'd like to say the Barrett .50 Cal rifle in COD4 aswell but the sniping in the game is a little hit or miss at times and the recoil on this gun in particular makes it annoying to get a spot on second hit if you miss your first shot.

I'd probably go with the AWP in CSS or the original UT'99 sniper rifle, that was spot on headshot everytime with me.

I like the one in Red Faction. Dont remember what its called but it looked awsome. The one in hitman was sweet too, how it comes in a briefcase and all that jazz.

Yeah people actually survive when you hit them with it in that game. I just unlocked the gun and I was all 'WOOT, TIME TO PWN SOME NOOBS!' Shot a guy with it, the hit indicator is like 'yup, you definetly hit the guy, no registration bug here' and the guy scampers off and if he had extreme conditioning, I probably wouldn't have gotten that second shot on him. Plenty of other escapists though.

Sniper rifle in Team Fortress... notforthe sense ofrealismin any which way, but I loved to cook my shot up on the side of a wall, pop out, and blow someone into little bits. My favorite class from that classic game. For the more conventional sniping experience, COD 4 hit the nail on the head.

hahaha, that things only 'nerf' was that it took a long time to fire between shots, and reloaded slowly. Yet there was almost no limit to zoom range, it had x-ray vision, and could go through anything and destroy everything.

They were some added weaknesses.The tracking was too slow for a running enemy and it could not track a cloaked person.

That one in Red Faction was quite cool. But for memories sake of good times I´m gonna have to go with the old PSG1 from Metal Gear.

Classic.

Dragunov, you can have your Barret 50 Cals, and R-700...I'll hit you everytime with a Dragunov, because of the low recoil.

Does anyone know of any games that have the Denel NTW-20 in them?



(connected rounds are .50BMG)

Once you see that thing you begin to realise that the .50BMG and the Barrett really aren't that impressive... >_>

That's a good question. I liked the Crossbow in HL2 since it was pretty effective at all ranges (even run-and-gun works pretty well in a pinch) but for that same reason, it's not much of a sniper rifle. The Springfield from MoH: AA is my pick.

yeah I'll go for that. Though since then I've become kind of a rainman with sniper rifles from any game.

The sniper rifle from the original Unreal Tournament because of the obscene amount of zoom you could get on it, combined with the announcer "Headshot" and "Multi-kill" ringing out so frequently when using it.

I remeber seeing this sniper on futureweapons that hit a target at 1.5 miles.

Mythbuster4ever
I'm fairly certain that was a Barrett .50 cal rifle, though it may have been a test/development rifle, rather than the regular rifle. Even so to hit a target at that range on a first shot was very impressive.

The green sniper in Counter Strike that needs just one shot to kill enemies. You press 4 then 6 to buy it. Hehe.

Everyone thought the sniper mode in MDK was the greatest thing ever back in 1997. It's still pretty cool.

Battlefield 2 - L96A1, I think I got it right. It looks awesome, sounds awesome and it's accuracy is awesome. Bf2 sniping is imo the best combination of realism and fun. The bullet drops after a while, so you have to put the crosshair a bit higher than the head. The bullet also has a travelling time. Sounds easier than it really is.

In general I would say the Dragunov. Specifically though I would say the L96A1 from BF2. Something about the sound when you pulled the trigger was just so badass.

Any one from Americas army. Its actually the most rewarding to use because its so realistic.. (and hard to get since theres often just one slot for it).
