However, once these issues were addressed by the developers at CI Games and Ghost Warrior 3 is a much more solid experience as a result. It is the sniping mechanics that save the game above all else and it's set in a visually impressive modern-day backdrop of the jungle using the powerful CryEngine. Goldeneye was developed by Rare and released exclusively on the Nintendo 64 in The game puts players in the shoes of James Bond and loosely follows the plot of the film.
It was one of the first games to popularise stealth mechanics on modern consoles next to Metal Gear Solid. One of the first weapons that makes use of the game's very solid stealth mechanics was the sniper rifle. It was one of the most satisfying weapons in the game and gave players the exact feeling of empowerment that one should feel when sniping enemies from a hidden location.
The series has always supported all styles of gameplay from running and gunning to silent and stealthy. However, it is the stealth approach that is by far the most satisfying and rewarding experience. Of course, the sniping experience in Far Cry 5 is one of the most expertly implemented in a Ubisoft title. Using the AR-CL is one of the best all-round sniper rifles and indeed weapons in the game.

The sequel takes place during the Battle of Berlin and the player takes on the role of an American Sniper. The remaster, which features updated visuals, framerates, and additional characters from the Nazi Zombie Army DLC was released in However, the stealth and sniping mechanics are up there with the best in the genre.
The major difference being that the player is limited to using antiquated weaponry compared to the high tech hardware that Solid Snake or Sam Fisher would use. Instead of silenced weapons, players need to mask their gunshots by timing their shots with the environmental distractions and noises. Their experience with open-world games that feature stealth and sniping is on full display with this title. Not everything clicks together perfectly, but the sniping and stealth elements work very well, and picking off enemy soldiers from a distance is very satisfying.
Released in , Sniper Ghost Warrior: Contracts is the fourth entry in the series. It was released on the PlayStation 4, Xbox, and PC and instead of using the open-world structure of its predecessors, the game opts for mission-based scenarios. Despite the more focused structure the missions are still designed to be semi-open and provide players with a lot of freedom to approach targets. The realistic bullet physics and the need for precision and timing make Contracts one of the most hardcore sniper experiences available.
Released in , Ghost Recon: Breakpoint received some heavy criticism at launch for its bugs and a lack of features compared to its predecessors. However, as a game, it has continued to improve with updates, patches, and story-based DLC. A prequel to Sniper Elite V2 , the story is once again set during World War 2 but three years before the events of its predecessor.

The slow-motion Kill Cam is even more graphic with its Mortal Kombat- like X-Rays showing bones breaking and internal organs getting decimated. Released in for all major consoles and the PC, Hitman 2 is the direct sequel to the episodic original that released in In addition to the base game which has some fantastic sniping opportunities for players, there are dedicated Sniper Assassin missions that play out like a separate game of its own.
In these missions, there are lots of creative ways for Agent 47 to eliminate his targets, create distractions and openings.
Once again set in the backdrop of World War 2 this entry finally took the series to march larger open-world environments that were full of creative and fun opportunities to snipe targets.
