Sniper: Ghost Warrior sells 500k, extra content planned

Gram.pl reports that City Interactive's title Sniper: Ghost Warrior has sold over half a million copies and that it's expected to bring even more revenue later this year. The studio used to have a very bad reputation, but its new financial success strenghtens its ambitions. In addition, two packs of downloadable content are planned and a sequel will be very likely.

Too bad the MP sucks so much... I like the campaign. It's certainly worth a 7 out of 10.

Respectfully, that is. When you cannot walk up a slight inclined ramp whilst crouching, it kinda takes away from the game. And when you are in your gillie suit, prone, in bushes, not moving and tangos start shooting at you from 3 clicks away, well, WTH?

I was really stoked for this game and bought it off Steam the day it was released. The sniping is cool but man are there some game play issues.

Just my opinion.

[bobcostus]

You know they patched all those issues like 2 weeks after release, right?

I thought I was one of the only people that played this on Xbox 360. I haven't heard many people talk about it. I thought it was a decent game. I'm surprised it sold half a million copies. I'm sure that was on both the 360 and PC.

[Chuk5]

What! 500k! That's a shocker right there. Just wow.

[IMChampion]

how much people like camping and why BFBC2 is plagued with them. Thank goodness for this game, away with those wanna be snipers, away!

[kasasensei]

rofl

[gcolley]

i kinda like them in BFBC2. i like the damn choppers and campers. it makes the whole thing feel like mayhem. stand still for a second and boom.... headshot

[Johandevries]

Yeah I am quite suprised too, but in a pleasant way. I was browsing Google News and found this Polish website

[TitanUp]

im planning on buying this

[Johandevries]

Do so

[dirthurts]

I'm glad I bought it. Especially now that the patches are out, it's much much better.

[RonXD]

Over 500k campers purchased this game lol.

[outlawlife]

or maybe some of the people who liked the other snipers games bought it?

reiterating stupid jokes made above you already doesn't make you funny

[RonXD]

You're probably one of the campers who bought the game.

No one else made that stupid joke above me, learn to read.

[dirthurts]

But I bought this game and loved it. It's more about stealth for me.
I never tried the multiplayer though.

[outlawlife]

actually somebody did, you should probably learn to read...scroll up

[Silly gameAr]

Sweetness. Congrats.

[Obama]

shocking that it sold as much as Alan Wake.

[Sarcasm]

If not surpassed it by now

[kingdavid]

3 different platforms? Youd better hope it outsells alan wake.

[il-mouzer]

I'll get this on steam once it's on some 10euro sale or whatever

[zerocool3397]

I thought the idea behind the game was good but talked myself out of it.

I wouldnt mind seeing a real open world sniper game where you have to plan before you take on the shot. I would also have the Coriolis Effect within the game, making it more realistic. It would be a lot more tactical in the long run.

[krisq]

for a small, independent developer. Congratulations!

[CrzyFooL]

Game was pretty solid after the patch. Too bad the patch came a month late.

[Johandevries]

Their convincing support makes me confident that there will be a solid sequel

[dragon82]

I was thinking about getting this for my Xbox 360. Wasn't sure if it was any good or not.

[Johandevries]

After the patch it's sure good

[siyrobbo]

They made a smart move releasing it at a budget price, I've heard nothing but positive remarks from people who have played it

[dirthurts]

But reviewers have been a little hard on it.
I mean it's a budget game, not a big AAA title.

[il-mouzer]

people must realize that hardly any reviewers ever give pricing a thought

[siyrobbo]

i never listen to reviews anyway, if i did i'd miss out on so many awesome games
