I cant name 5 sniper-based games, so this is very exciting if they pull it off. 
Anyone ?

Wow, never even heard of it, and it's coming out so soon. 
 
 
Maybe, but there are other releases at the moment that are more important.

I saw the title of this game and just laughed for a moment.  "Spooks:"

Yea, when I submitted the name it wasn't even on the developers own website, and since then it seems the game has dropped that part of it's name. I don't know how to query for a name change for a game entry but if anyone does know, then they should definitely do that. The game's name is now 'Sniper: Ghost Warrior'.

There was a WW2 Sniper game that was ok I guess. had co op that was pretty ok. but I traded it in for Tourist Trophy(both of them came out around the same time.)

iT'S MIGHT BE AN OKAY GAME... but the multiplayer shouldn't be ALL snipers; it'll get annoying quick.....but single player sniper I guess it can work out. We'll see

I'm interested. Sniping can be fun.

Didn't know about the game before reading this thread, so I guess not.

I will be sure to not respond to your threads from now on. "

Those videos have actually made me carefully interested lol. Which is more than I can say I was before.  
Not to sure about the assault missions. Doubt if could hold a candle to some other games set in contemporary conflicts. Though I still think a sniping game could be good if done properly.
I dug through my old magazines and the sniper game I was thinking of was actually Sniper Elite. It said that there was a coop mode and your partner could put his helmet on to the tip of his gun to draw enemy snipers into giving away their positions. I wonder if it made it into the final version. Oh and that other game I remembered was called Muzzle Flash which by the looks of it was really really bad (even for the time) and seems to have gone dark in 2002 when they announced it was delayed and 99% likely cancelled now seeing as nothing else was ever said about it. 
 
I might go see if I can hunt down a copy of Sniper Elite and check it out. I wanted to play it back in the day but never ended up doing it.

I've always liked the concept of something like this, but it seems to be something that'd be difficult to make a game out of, I suppose we'll wait and see though =D

for the brits it's on preorder at 17.99 at HMV.
 
too early to take the plunge?

This game better be heavily sick, better than of: dragon rising. That was hard stuff. I like to snipe too, especially when you're getting heavy ragdoll, Rambo 4 type kills. Although it better not be too hard too line up all the wind,bullet travel etc.

I played it for a bit at my buddies house and it bugged out after the second mission.  The supporting character would just freeze up along with all of the enemies.  You could walk all the way up to a bad guy and knife him without the guy as much as reacting to you.  What's weird is that not all of the AI was bugged, just about 90%, other AI seemed to be eagle eyed and trigger happy.  We stopped playing about an hour in, when in one mission you had to stealth through some village, it become impossibly difficult with the glitches (i.e. guy walking against a fence post and alarm triggered out of no where).
 
What is strange is that the graphics engine is nice, the models look good, and the gun-play feels good.  It just looks like they didn't give it T&L towards the end, and just rushed out the release.  Granted I only saw the first 2-3 missions, so I cannot comment on end game.  We also didn't try out the multi-player either.  Until they release a patch, might be a game to skip.

Another game on my rental list.

Well,there was Sniper Scope.But then again,the Dreamcast version was rubbish.If only Nintendo would take a stab at it.A peripheral for every pot,I think the saying goes.

I actually really love sniper on sniper mp, it's tense, slow paced and really gets your mind working, not just run and gun.

Its on my Gamefly list, but I have a feeling it will be awhile before I get a copy. They probably didn't purchase too many...
