GRAW - ARGH!

See that guy ripping his head off and yelling? Or, maybe he's gouging his eyes out in frustration...either way, thats about how I feel right now.

ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter is quickly going downhill, Its driving me insane. Here's why...

I'm trying to reach a checkpoint, and there are all these guys up in towers that I can snipe and take out. I'm on the ground being totally stealthy, nobody notices a thing...

I take out my (pretty badass) sniper rifle, and zoom in on the target's head...

As soon as I get him in my crosshairs, he all of a sudden notices me, and shoots at me! Every single time! They have no idea where I am or what I'm doing until I get them in my sights, but once I have them targeted, it's like oh, hey look, that guy is about to snipe me.

It's driving me crazy because the game makes everything else super realistic- the recoil from the guns, the amount of damage you take before dying, the physics of a grenade exploding next to somebody....it's all pretty realistic - except this.

It's driving me absolutely crazy, and it happens every time too. It's also insanely hard to get a one shot kill, which I don't get at all. I mean, I'm sure its tough being a guerilla in Mexico City, but nobody should be able to take a shot to the head from a sniper rifle and just shake it off.
