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.

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.

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.

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.

Dowly · 04-28-10, 10:40 AM

Never knew the thing can be modded.

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?

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

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.

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.

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.
