I literally just purchased Sniper: Ghost Warrior today on a whim... should I take it back? I haven't opened it, so I'm curious to see other opinions about it.
The good parts of the first game were so good, and the bad parts were fucking terrible. I seriously hope they do this right.
Real snipers don't go around huge driving sequences now do they? Someday I'll produce a game in which you have to stalk your prey through your scope, a long distance between you, and when you think it's the best chance to attack, do so. It will have weather and real time day progression effects, so that if I want to be stalking my prey 3 days straight, I can do so. Muahahahahaha O_O
The first game was much better than I expected it to be. The AI and stealth didn't necessarily seem broken, but the enemies were a hell of a lot quicker when it came to finding your position than they are in most games.
If anything, I can see how it would be a little too realistic for most players. When you're hanging around outside with several dozen of your trained soldier buddies and a shot rings out, somebody's gonna know where it came from. When he starts firing on a certain spot, everyone else will too.
Besides that, my favorite part was the ending. You spend the entire campaign getting in position to snipe a guy you missed at the very beginning, then when you finally get him, you just get a screen saying "The End". In any other game it would have seemed lazy as hell, but there it was oddly appropriate.

looks promising. they take out things that sucked, got better engine and from what i heard they have much bigger budget this time around(first Sniper had 800k$ budget while the second have supposedly nearly 2mln budget), longer development time and supposedly Stuart Black was consulting on the game(before moving to City Interactives studio in London to make his own shooter). i liked first one despite its problems and it seems like the're taking out things i hated(run & gun part) hopefully the game will be much longer or there will be some replay value(i don't care for multiplayer and frankly i doubt there will be many people playing it in Sniper 2).
