Good question!
I still run Win XP Professional and it runs without a glitch.
I can't say about Win 7 though.

Should work on Win7. :hmmm:

Of course it will, it would be well beyond strange (and a bad business call) to not make a game compatible with the OS most people will be using in a short time.

I believe they talked about Sniper Elite, as there shouldn't be any reason to ask what comes to new games.

Anyhow this one seems awfully arcadish with all the breath-o-meters, stealth meters and slowed down time. Maybe a nice shooter, but other than that it doesn't look very promising.

I very much doubt there would be that big market for simulator-ish sniper game, like with other sims. :hmmm:

Oh yeah.

Crawl 2km through jungle, dig hole, cover with camo net, wait 3 days for target, adjust scope for wind and Coriolis effect, pull trigger, crawl another 2km through jungle, escape to air lift.

All at 1 x TC of course.:yeah:

Sniper Elite is a good but old game. Should run under most OS with the right conditions. This thread made me want to play it again, so I did and now I'm stuck modding the blasted thing to use more up to date graphics.

Never knew the thing can be modded. :o

Sniper elite was cool, other then belly crawling with a mg-42, sniper rifle, pistol, a pile of explosives, and a panzershrek on your back. A little silly in that regard

In my opinion, and despite it's age, it is still, at least for me, the pinnacle of the sniper themed games.

ever play arma 2?

Dowly 04-28-10 04:46 PM

I find it to be more about luck than how well you aim your shot in ArmA. :hmmm:

Spike88 04-28-10 05:07 PM

Where's a good place to find Sniper Elite?

If you don't have problem with Steam, then you can get it from there, cheap too. :yeah:

Wow I never noticed it was on steam. I've always had my eye on it, but when I first saw it on 05, my computer couldn't handle it. :haha:

I'll get it next paycheck. :up:

:haha: Yeah.

You need a decompresser for the *.pc files (the level files in the environment folder) and then Game Extractor will fully extract all *.dds and *.wav files from the archive.

The *.pc files are an ASURA format compressed archive. To decompress them you need a program called asurauncmp (dos command file) and then Game Extractor.

TBH, I always thought it was unmoddable but there was no way I was playing this game in 1080p with those graphics.:D
