From Insider.

Johnathan Taylor, former US Marine Corps scout sniper, rates sniping in 11 video games, such as "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III," for realism.

Taylor discusses sniper tactics and equipment, such as the use of the ghillie suit and drones in "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II" and "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III," and the camouflage techniques and night operations in "Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint." He looks at the plausibility of long-range sniper shots seen in "PUBG: Battlegrounds," "Sniper Elite 5", and "Rust." Taylor also explains the realism of popular video game techniques, such as no-scoping and quick-scoping in "Counter-Strike 2," and using a sniper rifle in close-range combat in "Far Cry 5" and "Valorant." He further looks into the accuracy of the equipment and strategies of snipers, such as the sniper’s movements in "Fortnite," the sniper’s shooting position, and the look of the rifle’s scope and reticle in "Hitman 3,"; and the suppressed rifle in "Apex Legends."

Taylor spent eight years as a scout sniper in the US Marine Corps. He is president of the USMC Scout Sniper Association, an organization dedicated to providing veteran snipers with financial, medical, and psychological support.
