What it is
Sniper: Ghost Warrior is a tactical shooter in which you play an elite sniper sent to help rebels after Isla Trueno’s democratic government is overthrown. Missions include covert sniping as well as assault scenarios, so the game shifts between staying undetected and using weapons in direct engagements. Stalking, spotting targets, surveillance and accurate shooting are central to the sniper role. The ballistics system considers bullet trajectory, drop and environmental effects such as wind, fog and rain; managing breathing is also part of aiming for accuracy. The game offers single-player and multiplayer levels across varied terrain. Steam features include achievements, partial controller support and Family Sharing. Developed by CI Games and released in 2010, it is listed for Windows and PlayStation 3, with the Steam version on Windows. Its Steam genre listing is Action, while its broader genre is tactical shooter.
