I was wonder if any of you have a favorite multiplayer FPS game that has sniper rifles. Stupid thread, I know. I'm only familiar with the counter-strike games, and was wondering else is out there. I'm sure the latest COD and Battlefield do, but what else, that has a decent player base?

If you're playing Counterstrike you're already playing the best game. No need to play another one and be disappointed. I've only felt disappointment since playing other shooters.

Arma 3. Arma 2 has the realistic ballistics models with ACE mod and its about he closest thing I have seen to the real thing.

Sniper Elite 3. Not only will it satisfy you every time with the slowmo death shot, you can kill people online and relive it.

Yeah. I never got that good with a sniper in counterstrike, I started playing Quake 2 and got used to strafing. So in counterstrike I would often just strafe when trying to adjust the sight, causing the rifle sight to shake :p

Sniper III has great sniping but I think 50% of my loving it is the slomotion kills, which wouldn't work in MP.

Quake World Team Fortress.

Playing with 300ms ping on 28.8 modems was fun to Lead people with your laser dot by 1/3rd of a second.

My favorite has to be Day of Defeat Source. I rocked with the sniper rifle, though I spent a good 5 years playing just that one game. And I wasn't the camping type either, I preferred to be on the move and snipe from mid range. I remember other snipers would always shout "No scope!" if they killed someone point blank that way, but for me it was "Scoped." because it was harder and more rewarding to actually scope in at point blank and still get the kill.

I play the Sniper on TF2 all of the time; it can be very fun, but I guess it probably does not count for this exercise.

Everything above your neck is going to be a fine, red mist!

This guy speaks truth.

Strafing and quick scoping an enemy sniper or a machine gunner who has been aiming in your direction for ages is one of the most rewarding sniping experiences. Best $10 you will ever spend.

Battlefield 4 is fun going for those extreme long range headshots. I think my record was like 900m.

It was ok, but I hated the fact that walking speed was so low while you were aiming. Just basically made it a campers choice :|
