I think the best sniper rifle has to be the VC32 from KZ2.It's accurate,powerful, and reliable.One shot(two if you're an Assault) from this bad boy is enough to send you over to the other side.Today I got 57 kills and 11 deaths in a match because of that beast.So what is your favorite sniper rifle?

Anything .50 cal...Which is pretty much the real life equivalent of the VC32.. Spot and Mark is what makes sniping in KZ2 the best.

I enjoyed the sniper from the first F.E.A.R.

There's just something so rewarding about leaving a room full of smoldering skeletons.

I like sniper rifles that don't move when zooming in (like in Halo)

I know it's unrealistic, but I just hate having to hold your breath or constantly fixing its aim.

The sniper from Gears of War one (non-active) is up there for me. Also, who doesn't love the AWP from CSS :P

Someone mentioned that laser gun thing from FEAR1, that was pretty sweet, just melted all the flesh right off. :P

If we're talking a sniper though, I kind of have a soft spot for the Gears of War sniper since you stay zoomed in and see the head literally explode. Now that's a good time!

The sniper from Team Fortress Classic because when you shot people in the head they'd blow up.

The PTRS in Cod WaW only in singleplayer though, exploding heads is awesome, as is blowing off arms and legs with it, plus it has a weird but cool clip placement so a cool reload animation.

Rareware's Sniper Rifles (they didn't name them anything else :P) in Goldeneye and Perfect Dark. C'mon, you can't give up on those guns just because they're from old games.

I like the sniper in TF2, seem to be able to get alot of kills with that.

I love the sniper rifles in Halo : Combat Evolved, they're just so easy to use.

fabz_95

That is based on a 20MM round (around double the size of a .50 cal.), the rifle is called NTW-20, a huge rifle, around 6ft long.

Never been a sniper enthusist but I'd like to say the Sniper rifle from Resistance is my favourite. Not the actual Sniper Rifle itself, more the fact that it slows down time which is pretty cool. Bottom line is that I have the most fun using this Sniper Rifle.

Isn't the PTRS an anti-tank rifle? If so that's cheating :evil:.

The sniper sight attached to any gun in Crysis is the best IMO, the assault rifles and SMG are the best

The M82 from MGS4. If you shoot Raging Raven in the head with it, it's a one-hit kill.

The gauss rifle with sniper scope is awesome as well.

That makes it far too easy, it's much more satisfying getting a silenced headshot with an SMG at 400 yards

Yeah it is, but the Barrett is as well most of the time, that's what makes them so much fun to use on people =p And I do find that a bit weird how it can't injure a tank even though it's an anti tank rifle, it'd be a good use for it considering how overpowered tanks are in the game.

I would have thought that aswell, but I suppose anti-tank rifles arn't that effective agaisnt heavily armoured tanks. I think you would need alot more firepower to dent any of the tanks in that game. I havn't really played much of WaW, but the PTRS is used in other games, and it's totally awesome, but realistictly I doubt you could run around with it very easily. Not sure how it's used in WaW though.

Same way the Barrett is used in CoD4, you run around with it like it were as light as any other gun in the game, the only drawback of both of them is they have lots of recoil. The tanks in the game are ridiculously overpowered as well, so it would've been nice to have had one more way to at least injure them, even if it was unrealistic.
