Sniping Mission: Difference between revisions

 

Is often an [[Unexpected Gameplay Change]].

 

* This is a very popular class of flash game, to the point where some of the newer ones have started lampshading the limits of the system.

* The ''[[Silent Scope]]'' series was one big Sniping Mission. At the very end of each one... "[[One Bullet Left|Bring him down with one shot!]]"

* Every mission in ''[[Sniper Elite]]'' is a sniping mission.

* ''Crisis Core: [[Final Fantasy VII]]'' sneaks one of these in toward the end of the game.

*** Of course, you could gain points to upgrade the sniper rifle by using your sword to kill robots. Also, it must be remembered that this is also the game that has the completely pointless stealth segment.

* The first ''[[Halo]]'' game had this for the third level, although it's not really required.

* The console version of ''007 [[James Bond 007: Nightfire]]'' includes a mission roughly halfway through where Bond faces a good dozen or so snipers while moving through an abandoned nuclear power plant. Except for the few interior firefights, most of the gunfighting consists of patiently hiding and watching for muzzle flashes and where the enemy bullets impact to locate the snipers and shoot them before they get a bead on you.

 

* The first level of ''No One Lives Forever''. Bruno thankfully tells you where every enemy is coming from before they appear on screen, but experienced (or cocky) players can tell him that they'll handle it themselves for the added challenge.

* In ''Unreal 2'' when your character gets trapped at the top of a tower after the Skarjj sabotage the elevator at the bottom, you have to use a sniper rifle to protect the engineer who is trying to get to the tower and fix it so that you can get back down. Thankfully, although badly outnumbered, your protectee is a Marine with a shotgun who can take down a few enemies before getting overwhelmed, which does give you ''some'' room for error.

* In one mission of ''[[Mission: Impossible]] 64'', you provide sniper cover for Ethan in a train station.

 

* The duels with Sniper Wolf in ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]''. The second, though, is easier if you use your remote guided missile instead.

** [[Theres No Kill Like Overkill|Or Stingers]].
