hitman & fallout, definitely by far my weapon of choice.
looks like sniper elite III sucks, anyone have any other recommendations?

Battlefield Bad Company 2 had the best sniper sounds of all time. All time. You'll even love getting shot at.

I've got a fully-pimped sniper on FO4 but it fires boring old BULLETS instead of lighting or lasers or whatever...

That was such a good game. Nobody remembers it.
I reached a point where the smoke grenade launcher was my primary weapon. I miss killing people with that thing.

My son is way into sniping in Star Wars Battlefront, but I prefer the mid range rifles. I can fully endorse sniping in Left For Dead, and L4D2, it's pretty satisfying >:)
Far Cry 4 has some pretty fucking great sniping options as well, not least of which is the tricked out bow and arrow. Fire arrows, and explosive arrows basically turn your bow into an explosive sniper rifle.

Was gunna mention Far Cry too, but the Metro games are a quiet gem for this. There's little to no long range sniping, but the guns feel spectacular and you'll be sniping almost all of the human enemies. Strongly recommend.

idk I haven't played for a while. I did the quest where you can contract the uncurable rat disease (-10hp debuff) and couldn't load an early enough save (PS4 + my own lack of foresight) so I got pissed off with it.
I wanna get the new Doom but it doesn't strike me as a sniper kind of game.

Nothing like the glorious railgun in Quake.
