* 007: Nightfire had a level with a major sniper-escort section where a Bond has to provide sniper support from the tower of an airbase. Subverted however because the silenced Walther pistol that is signature to the franchise, is in fact [[Hit Scan|more accurate and does more damage]], the fact that AI Bondgirl being escorted will react to gunfire by taking cover behind an object that provides maximum exposure to all present hostiles, really helps to punch the whole level down into a [[Scrappy Level]], [[It Got Worse|a second sniper section shows up later in the same level]]. |

** Thankfully, the console version drops this in favor of an intro/training mission where Bond snipes the cars chasing Dominique through Paris. If a new profile is started (which automatically begins this mission), the game automatically locks onto the gunmen or tires to make it a turkey shoot, and it's still quite easy with manual aiming. |

* Not a boss battle per se, but in ''[[Freedom Fighters (video game)|Freedom Fighters]]'' you're expected to assassinate the Soviet General leading the occupation of America by sniping him from a nearby guard tower. While you ''can'' opt to walk right up to him and shoot him in the face, you'd have to fight your way through his heavy machinegun-wielding [[Giant Mook]] bodyguard and more than a dozen [[Elite Mooks]] to get to him. |
