No wind, just distance drop and leading the target if it’s moving. Getting sniper kills from any kind of range on a human controlled target is a chrome-plated bitch.

I don’t know what BF3′s campaign is like, I’ve never played it, but using a DMR in BC2′s campaign was my favorite tactic in the more open areas.

There was a mission in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare called “One Shot, One Kill”, where you had to (try) to take out the main bad guy from long range during pretty heavy wind. I remember taking lots of shots and watching the bullet curve around without hitting anything. You had to compensate a lot. I only found out later that you could just wait for the wind to die down and it was far easier.

Other than that one mission, I don’t know of any good sniper games. I’d like to play one though.

Anyway, I basically agree with everything you wrote, except maybe the part about taking over enemy bases making the game less interesting. That’s probably because I took over ALL of them, then did the story missions. At that point, sneaking around in the jungle was pretty much replaced with fast traveling. It’s almost like Far Cry 3 was two separate games. The one game is about exploring an island, hunting animals, sneaking through the jungle, stealth-killing pirates, and taking over their bases. The other game was about a frat boy who becomes the ultimate killing machine by gunning down hoards with an assault rifle, getting tattoos, and fast traveling.

All-in-all, sure, it wasn’t the greatest game ever. But you can run over sharks with a speed boat. So I’d still recommend it.

No, I just decided to use my blog to talk about other things I like commenting on than politics.

Not that I can help you with that, I was just curious.
