Give Sniper: Ghost Warrior a Chance

Hey guys,

Remember Sniper: Ghost Warrior? The video game that was released a few months ago and was universally panned as horrible. Well the developers have the PS3 version planned to release in a few months and they promised they have changed a lot.

"Since it's a game about being a sniper, it's also a game about stealth. You'll have to sneak around and avoid close combat to get to your sniping position. Another improvement for the PS3 version is more complicated calculations for how foliage hides you – the thicker and higher the underbrush you hide in, the better concealed you are. A handy meter lets you know how close you are to being spotted. The original version of the game had some missions that were more "normal FPS" combat to break things up, but player feedback showed that players bought the game to do sniping, not run-and-gunning, so the PS3 version will either have those levels removed, or placed as optional side missions (this decision hasn't been finalized yet). One particular mission originally involved escorting a convoy on foot while an AI sniper covered you from above – now, that same mission has a role reversal – you get to be the sniper above covering AI on the ground."

"The PS3 version is getting quite a few other improvements, such as spiffed-up graphics, two new bolt-action rifles for a skillful challenge, three new levels to the campaign, and a new challenge mode where you can go super-simulation with no HUD whatsoever. The multiplayer is also getting a facelift, with five maps from the 360 version's DLC automatically included, and new modes like Hardcore and Capture the Flag."

So guys, when the PS3 version is released check it out, it may be much better than other platforms if the developers follow their promises.

I'll consider it when it hits the bargain bins.

This is pretty neat. I always wanted to play a game with only sniper rifles. Hopefully it won't be trash
