Odds are I'll be playing this with solely the silenced pistol. I love those!

This game has three nouns in it's title.  That bugs me.  It can be re-arranged in any way and still make sense.
Warrior: Sniper Ghost, Ghost: Sniper Warrior.  Can I have a game called Hammer: Samurai Cannon

Looks awesome, but something about those death animations look unnatural. They just sort of flop over all funny.

wait, what's with all the trailers for this game recently? I'm pretty sure it came out on pc and 360 and was panned for being... crap.

Is a ps3 version such a big deal, or is this some GB advertisement agreement?

Cinematic. Boner.

I have maxed Witcher 2 (Minus Ubersampling) and Metro 2033. Wonder how well I can fare on this?

The better question is can either of us live knowing that no one has yet made that game.

The one thing that keeps me from getting Crysis 2 is the story. Doesn't matter how good the graphics are, if the story isn't easy to follow along, or just isn't good, then I'm not getting it. I learned that lesson from Bioshock 2.

Tactics? Hide in bush, shoot dude, repeat. "Hard mode" should have all that HUD stuff as a separate piece of equipment.

The only sniping-based game I want to play is if they ever remake Silent Scope on the WiiU.

This is most of the game, and it turns into a really bad COD clone. And it sucks.

It is the ONLY sniper game. So yeah, it kinda defaults to the best selling.
 
Pitty they don't let you play the part where snipers must trek hundreds of miles carrying water, recon equipment and supplies weighing over 30kg over a few days, followed by pitching up a small tentage where you sit and wait for your target for extended hours at end. That's what I want in my sniping simulation game.

@White: Did it even ever call it's self a sniping simulator?I'm pretty sure it is still trying to be a game.I don't see why everyone thinks these types of games have to be utter realistic.

I remember the game getting advertised a shit ton on the PC/360 too. I think they just spend a lot on marketing.

I love IGN's subtitle for their review: "Soon to be haunting the bargain bin."
