Were any of the sniper elites post 2 any good? 2 was pretty mediocre to awful, with lame setpieces, mediocre linear level design with no alternate routes or playstyles and a lot of times where you're thrust in an action setpiece in the linear level where you're playing a regular cover based TPS except instead of zooming in you're scoping in.

Hope they learned from the last entry, it was too ambitious and had an identity crisis

3's decent. On Authentic difficulty with ballistics set to Realistic, you get that proper stealth sniper experience. Campaign is fully coop as well, if that matters to you.

>>16586056

I'd play it but I'm not exactly looking for "decent".

Personally I loved it. The addition of scout mode, hacking cctv cams and the personal drone were awesome. good upgrades and customization of weaponry, sniping, stealth kills and run and gun=all very fun.

my only qualms were a few crashes and freezes, finishing the game without all the upgrades (i hate that in games you should have all upgrades by at least the last couple missions) and about 3-4 of the levels you have to go back to the same base/compound that you already cleared, also from time to time non-responsive buttons. bullet cam is awesome, but it sucks when you have to make 2 quick kills, because it doesnt always put you back in scope mode if you are holding the button down, so that might cause an alarm.

the luring bullets were awesome, as was the interrogation feature and armor piercing bullets. i liked getting realistic guns as well. also being able to hide in lockers, and drag bodies around is awesome. nothing like making piles of dead bodies.

this next game Contracts looks more challenging, and is apparently more in line with customer feedback, so we'll see how it goes. i'm getting it because this is my fav type of game.

Hope they learned, and get proper marketing this time, the last game they admitted to going toe-to-toe with Triple-A publishers, and it didn't end well.

If your biggest problem with 2 was linear level design, 3 fixes that for the most part. Most of the levels are have plenty of branching paths, kind of falls apart at the end though. There's a handful of those shitty forced action sequences, but overall they make up a tiny percent of the experience. Worth a pirate at least.

>looks a little old

Sheer disgust for this gen z faggotry.

>>16586107

gen x here dude. i didnt mean it as an insult.

all these sniper games suck ass, I want to atleast somewhat pretend to be a sniper and not just occasional sniping with shooting galleries inbetween.

maybe actually make use of camo, have scouting missions, support other troops in a defense/attack, like a hunting game but people.

These games are all trash. How the fuck does it still manage to get games?

>scopes are fullscreen

WHY

Everything looked good enough until that part. The previous games had picture-in-picture scopes, why did they go with shitty fullscreen here?

>>16585981

So what is the gameplay like in these games? I've heard some criticism that while you're playing as a sniper, you really aren't that far away from your enemy to warrant the use of a sniper rifle because the maps aren't that big.

How's the stealth and the variety of weapons to choose from? Any weapon modding?

>So what is the gameplay like in these games?

You keep shooting one of the most uttterly retarded and scripted AI in the head with silenced bolt-actions until you get bored. In SGW3 you can try and make things a bit less boring by trying to play the game as if it was MGS instead, but due to the game's retarded AI and the game's overall shitty map design, it's limited.

my theory is that the surveillance drone in part 3 is probably gone, so it's a slight aid to tagging enemies.

>>16589370

the process is generally: recon (enemy tagging, objective mapping) then deciding how to go about killing them without triggering the alarm (if you want stealth, however run and gun is still possible and fun) then sniping and stealth killing, finding valuable items, completeing task (killing, stealing intel, blwing a place up) then exfil to beat the level. die and start whole level again, but you will be faster this time because the enemies are still in the same place. typical shots are up to 300m but my longest was 540m i wasnt able to find a shot anywhere that was 800-1000m, and other than killing camp snipers (typical npc snipers) there are no epic sniper vs sniper battles like i hoped.

yes you can upgrade handguns, assault rifles and sniper rifles. they are all realistic guns/ you can get scopes, lights, lasers, ext mags, bipods, and like 30 types of camo, as well as armor and drone mods which are cool.

for me its a 4/5 because this is my fav genre of game. this isnt COD, so you have to know that going in. its a stealth game.
