Looks pretty interesting. Hopefully it'll be more SIM and less action game.

I've always wanted to play Sniper: Elite, but never got around to it.

Although the trailer is quite grainy.
Oh, man, if you like sniper-games you absolutely HAVE TO get Sniper: Elite.
In my opinion, and despite it's age, it is still, at least for me, the pinnacle of the sniper themed games.

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

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.

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

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

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.

I'll get it next paycheck.

'Vietnam Line of Site' was my first sniper game more based on stealth than anything else the AI snipers were cheats the kind of game where they could see you but you couldn't see them cause of the fog or they didn't show up on the screen till you got within range. But you were always in range for them to snipe you.

Please let me know when you are getting ready to release your mod. I'd love to replay the game again (maybe with better graphics)
