For my money, the M40 is the best sniper. Good damage, not too killer recoil, and it looks snazzy. On a different note, I had my best game ever (I've only had it for a month), today on Shipment playing HQ. 60-44 with 10 assists and a heli.
If you could keep Uwe Boll out of the way, then games to movies aren't quite a bad idea. That is only if there is a strong plot (Like Elder Scrolls), and a premise that doesn't need millions to be spent in special effects.
