I'd rather see a game where sniping is the core part of the game.
Sneaking around, trying to get a good vantage point without being detected.
And yes, it has to be multiplayer.

Or at least a stealth based multiplayer FPS which allows or forces you to set up various traps for other players.

As broken as it is, Sniper: Ghost Warrior has moments of this in multiplayer. No traps, but plenty of sneaking about to find a decent nest.

Ace of Spades used to be basically this, then they decided that having a fun but challenging game is bad design and added all the other shit.

An indie platformer in a style other than fake-8 bit. There's got to be at least one indie team out there with an artist that can draw things other than 16x16 tiles.

Braid?
The Fall?
Guacamelee?
Intrusion 1 and 2?
Mark of the Ninja?
Should I go on?

Mark of the Ninja is a game missed by a lot of people but it really is incredible and usually quite cheap on Steam.

That's how you can tell they're quality ninjas. Nobody noticed the game.

You can play the old, free version of it here.
The shit, not-free version was bought by a company.

Unfortunately, the original developer has disappeared into thin air after the new version came out. Community has made a new client and a new server of the old version game, both open-source. Yet for some reason they are still playing the 0.75 version instead of actually improving/developing the game further. WTF?

E: I wish the old Ace of Spades would be actively developed.

General consensus is that he was a Jagex puppet all along, or at least from very early on.

[itisnotlogical]

Any simulationist type FPS (ARMA, Operation Flashpoint, etc.) feels like a snipers-only game compared to regular FPS. Most engagements in Operation Flashpoint happen at 100-200 meters. I literally have to lean in closer to my monitor to draw a bead on enemies or even tell them apart from the background. Too bad the online scene for most of these games is pretty dead, afaik.

[Supercharazad]

A multiplayer FPS based around sneaking around and killing other players stealthily. Weapons would be inaccurate over medium-long ranges or would be melee, but would pretty much be one hit kills if you could get somebody with one.
Most of the game would be sneaking around, constantly going "fuck fuck is somebody behind me FUCK I FORGOT TO CHECK ABOVE ME ARE THEY THERE oh God they're not" and then you'd get killed by a guy in front of you because you forgot to check there too.
There'd be little ambient sound or music, but you'd be able to hear things happening pretty much all over the map. So once you get a kill, suddenly you realise that everybody knows where you are because you fired a shot and you go straight back to being terrified.

That sounds like it would be fun to watch other people play.

Getting CoD players and the like into the mix, it'll be less stealth and more face-stabbing and trick shots.

However, if we have darkmatch (most-all light sources are off or really dim) as a gamemode, then things can get interesting.

Just as well, if you can allow for other stealth assist items, like an eyepatch, then you can add some flavor into the mix. Why an eyepatch? Cover one eye, and keep it in the dark, at the expense of depth perception; walk through light areas, and in the dark, switch the eye patch to the other eye, or remove entirely, and see better in the dark. Now add Oculus support to this (especially with the eyepatch applied). Now we're having fun.

The only problem with that is the "Gamma Warriors," who just stuff gamma at their brightest level during night time crap.

Maybe if you made a level with absolutely no lights except in tiny, streetlight-like areas where only a small section is lit would this probably work.  You'd also have to make a reason for them to move instead of just sitting in the darkness, and of course you'd have to make muzzle flash light up a portion of them when they shoot.

You are describing what LLC totally would end up being.
If Wolfire would actually finish the thing it would be great.

This is almost as frustrating as when someone describes Subversion and then you're reminded that it's never happening.

Real shame too. I looked forward to that game. I still have the city generator program they used/offered through a humble bundle.
