What Is Your Favorite/Best Long-Range Stealth Game?

sniper elite i think
but shooters for gays and sniper rifles for campers

Fallouts :D Really, they're great when you level up your perception, AP and rifle skills. Nobody can even see you coming, because they burst in small clouds of red goo :D:D

I guess Saints Row IV was a pretty cool stealth game too. Don't forget Just Cause 2 either.

Deus Ex and Alpha Protocol. However I always preferred "melee" stealth.

Hitman: Absolution has the best sniper handling in my opinion.

Metal Gear Solid series.

Far cry 3 could be played quite stealthy in parts I think. Good game overall.

I loved Thief: Deadly Shadows, so I'm excited for the reboot.

I loathe snipers in multiplayer games, but I always have a lot of fun doing ranged kills in single player games.

fallout new vegas sniper rifle + stealthboy =best long range stealth gameplay

STALKER

try Dark Messiah.
mainly known (or rather unknown due to people having a memory for two years at best) for close combat slaughterfest,
but it has pretty good stealth, bow combat (even has rope arrows), some physics based magic spells etc.
due to the game being source engine, the physics are funny to play with.

If I recall correctly, the Soldier of Fortune series had some levels that were possible to complete with only the sniper rifle. If I'm thinking of the right game; it has been a few years since I've played it.

Arma 3.

Try being a sniper against real players on a map the size of a real island.

You gonna understand what hidding is all about, what shadows and sun mean, what the noise of your rifle means, and yes, this little cloud of dust when you shoot ? It can mean your death. And all the players will duck, hide, think "if i was a sniper where would i be" and try to flank you. Or they gonna call someone to come in a vehicle with thermal vision.

With the mods, you can expect the wind to matter, meaning that being on a hill a kilometer away might not be the best option.

I tried playing Far Cry 3 with pure stealth, but the shit-tier saving system stopped me from doing that.

In FC2 you could quicksave and try the same mission with different approaches. The constantly respawning enemies took the fun out of that, though.

Seriously, nobody even mentions Sniper: Ghost Warrior 1 and 2?! they both revolve around long range sniping, and in my opinion, they were actually great simulators. I can't recall another game that took into account the wind and the distance to calculate the trajectory of the bullet. I really likes Sniper Elite V2 and NZA, but as a closer-to-reality sniper game, i think Ghost Warrior series is far superior

Lots of awesome suggestions, but here's one I don't think has been mentioned yet. It's older, 2D isometric, and turn-based.
Jagged Alliance 2.
Stealth is hard, but usually possible. Knife kills (regular, or throwing), gas grenades of various types (make sure you're wearing a gas mask), silencer attachments for most guns and a silent sniper rifle in the Unfinished Business add-on (there might be some in the fan-made 1.13 mod too, but I can't recall for certain), walking/running/crawling loudness, night missions where light affects visibility (and there are chemical break lights you can toss), camouflage, and probably a couple of other things I've forgotten. I don't think you can easily fist-fight in stealth (I think it's just too loud), but I've never really done a martial arts-focused character. And I'm 99% certain you wouldn't be able to stealth against the bloodcats (tigers, essentially).

Hitman: Absolution, Hitman Blood Money, Mark of the Ninja, Death to Spies: Moment of Truth, Metro 2033/Metro Last Light.. :)

I'd say Sniper Elite without a doubt suits your criteria, focusing on Sniper Rifles and stealth. Another game i'd recommend is Dishonored, although there arent sniper rifles, it's a game that focuses a lot on stealth as you are an assassin. You'll also be armed with a set of weapons that both allow you to drop your targets at longer ranges and short range combat.

Trouble in Terrorist Town.

u wanna be awper play counter strike source or counter strike global offensive.

Considering I played it that way, I'd say The Elder Scrolls V - Skyrim.

• Tomb raider 2013 was a fun game, and considering you can use bows and improve them I think makes a decent long range game.
• Far cry 3 can be played completely with ranged weapons (bows and or sniper rifles ),and stealth can play an important role when taking over bases even tough sometimes it's not the best ( funny comic kinda explains it )
• Dishonored can be played long ranged only as well, and the stealth mechanics are pretty good too( too bad ammo sometimes cost WAYYY too much)
• Deus ex series can be played long range as well, and stealth mechanics are really good(you'll probably be better to just skip invisible war imho).
• Hitman has really good stealth mechanics but you'll find yourself way too often in melee range/or will have to kill in melee.
• Metro last light can be played in ranged,but if you know metro you'll know ammo WILL be a prob and you'll find yourself using whatever you find heh
