Many [[Boss Battle|boss fights]] incorporate sniping elements, such as famously those in the ''[[Metal Gear]]'' series. This might occur if you are attacked by an enemy sniper and try to [[Beat Them At Their Own Game]].
Line 8:
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
** This trope is somewhat inverted when going inside areas such as the mansion near the end of the first game - the sniper goes through the mansion taking people down from about 20 feet away. Amusingly, though the bad guys are armed with semi-auto pistols and SMGs, they never think to rush you...
* Several levels throughout the ''[[Call of Duty]]'' series (even though your character is never identified as a sniper or marksman, beyond the player character "Soap" in the fourth game being the only member of his squad given scoped rifles... but [[It's Up to You]].)
Line 43:
* The first [[Sin]] has a short section wherein you must snipe all the guards on an oil rig before you can board it. An easy mission, as the guards are never close together and have predictable patrol routes.
* Playing through Magoichi's story mode in [[Samurai Warriors]] 2 will result in sniping mini-missions.
* [[Shadows of the Damned]] has a chapter (4-1) devoted to what basically amounts to a sniping mission. Your character's [[Living Weapon]], Johnson, listens to a sexy phone call, [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|gets incredibly excited, and extends to a six-foot-long cannon.]] You're then tasked with gunning down slowly approaching [[Smash Mook
* While it isn't a mission ''exactly'', there's a certain trench area in [[Fallout|Fallout 3]] filled with Super Mutants. The optimum strategy, therefore, is to use a stealth boy and snipe them.
* ''[[Mini Robot Wars]]'' has a sort-of example with one of its [[Mini Game|Mission Stages]] (Sharpshooter). You control a Sniper Minirobot and have to shoot down enemy Machines before they cross the end of the screen. The catch is that you can ''only'' attack an enemy when a [[Crosshair Aware|crosshair appears on them]] (by clicking the middle of the crosshair), otherwise the Sniper will miss.
* 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.
{{examples|Examples of Sniping [[Escort Mission
* 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.
Line 82:
* 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.
