Using the guide removes a lot of the challenge to aiming, while having no guide (it can be switched off in the options menu) requires intimate familiarity with a rifle’s bullet velocity, and given how many times I died when I could hit things, I'll save it for a second playthrough. Regardless of how complex you make it, letting out your breath slows time and produces a big red box that shows you where your bullet will hit, so it’s still not hard to nail someone in the eye. You can remove ballistics altogether-bullets always go where the crosshairs meet-or include gravity and wind in the equation. Depending on your settings, sniping is as simple or difficult as you want it to be.
