As much as I dislike sniping in just about every FPS i've played, I've always enjoyed those moments I myself am the sniper, and am cleverly hidden, picking off enemies one by one. As enjoyable as this was I really did not like how so many games used the 'Laser Rifle' sniper rifles, i.e you click and your bullet is already there. Every mainstream FPS is guilty of this, even Call of Duty, you may see the tracer traveling through the air, but if you simply shoot a wall from far away, you'll see a wall impact right after you click, before your 'tracer' reaches it. So really its a laser. America's Army was the only game I've played with correct bullet location, but it was ridiculously slow in that game. No one plays AA anymore anyways.
The first thing I noticed while sniping, was how the tracer was accurate to the bullets location. If you were sniping from far away, you weren't going to hit a moving target if you didn't lead. The addition of an accurate gravity system on bullets, is also a huge plus, it makes those long range kills oh so more satisfying. Lastly, i love the little things, like when the shot misses and hits a fence and you see it rip off a couple of planks, it really makes it feel like you are dishing out a deadly lead present,
As a result, I experience a much more immersive sniping experience, thus more enjoyable, especially when you snipe that running soldier from a good 3/8ths of a mile away. Big props for that.
