Sniper Ghost Warrior 2 dev: Our guns shoot farther

Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 is a totally different experience to other sniping games on the market, according to producer Michael Sroczynski.

While shooters are a common commodity in the games industry these days, there aren't many titles built solely on the idea of being a sniper.

SGW2 and Sniper Elite V2 are two exceptions, but Sroczynski doesn't believe the titles have much else in common.

"We've obviously played Sniper Elite," he told ArabicGamers, "and we're sure the good people at Rebellion played Ghost Warrior but apart from the sniper in both games, it's a totally different experience.

"And our guns shoot farther."

Sroczynski also said Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 is fully focused on sniping and being tactical, so the running and gunning with assault rifles from the last game has been cut.

"As I've said before, it's out," he added. "Since we had the extra time, we could devote it entirely to sniping and tactical approach.

"Gamers' feedback was clear - if you buy a game about snipers, you want to be a sniper, not a foot soldier. Fair and simple."

Our full interview with Sroczynski will be published later in the week.
