I thoroughly enjoyed my brief showing in the matches. Despite whatever cons; jets tanks etc whatever, I think the main point to focus on would be the rather large 'showing' from our beloved BF2s forums. Personally I was unable to bring my 'A' game to the event due to distractions at home. To be quite honest: In my first few maps...I was slightly disturbed with my performance, upset even..totally agrevated. I told meself that 'Seamus, your rusty, not your fault, you've been away from sniping for months" etc etc. By the 4th map, I saw today for exactly what it was.........

Today, IMHO lads, wasn't about stats, kills, sniping or even KDR's (KPH, just for you Nyte:). Today Gentlemen, was about Comraderie. The personalities in the server were as diverse as I've ever witnessed, yet we all have a inner love/pride in our own scope abilities and those that share a similar passion of the kit. Each of us understand why we and others enjoys our style of gameplay, whether long, short, combat or precise, there is a common denominator....We are Snipers.

I recall when in the summer last year I entered the top 1000 in "sniper rifle", I was pleased to say the least. A month later I reached Top 250, I was very pleased. Top 100, Top 50, 25,20,15,10,5 needless to say I was quite feckin' happy:) I was chasing the almighty "Little_Chinky_But" in those days (#1 for 1/2 year i believe), Ember75, Admiral Montiero, Grafisk, Dub1, Junchan, DevilDog, Slynicoli etc etc. I never had too much competition in  my quest for top 5, until LEG*Weigon. Leg and I went back and forth for #8 and #9 for several weeks, It was kinda funny, I'd goto bed #8, wake up #9, he'd goto bed #8 and wake up #9. Lotta laughs actually.

I worked ruthlessly to obtain 100-150 kills per day (I'm retired btw:) all the while improving my K/D. I worried about K/d also due to my dearest friend, Books_DCDF (this flashy bastard had a 4.0 when I had 2.0).

THIS is the point of me rather lengthy post: (a few pints of whiskey also helped:)

I played BF2 since it came out for meself, my stats, my awards, my satisfaction...Until this up and comming Sniper started 'stalking' me. We met on a roof in Mashtuur...and to be completely honest..Books_DCDF changed my BF2 experience equally as much as my out of game life. I now had a collegue that would be on at roughly the same times I enjoyed playing, he had the passion for a scope, courteous, intelligent, we thought alike, played alike, and always enjoyed the friendship. Our wives must have thought we were carzy:) rofl.. I showed him a few tricks I've acquired and he recipricated tricks as well as a new map. Kubra Dam, A snipers heaven without the adrenaline, high intensity gameplay, 100% strategy and a GREAT k/d inhancer. It was through this snipe team that I began to appreciate the "kill assist" as much as the "kill", we work well together and enjoy each other's company. Throughout the months we've included several 'newer' up and comming scopers in our murdering squad: Tahadar, Roly or Mystic3470, Mporlier, Livelytoaster, Death_to_bunnies / MantisBoy, Todd Angelo (a fellow Irishman:) and a few others. To me, it was through these frienships that this online game transcended being a game and became a true social enjoyment.

<sidetracked, another whiskey please>

My point, once again is this: I began playing for my own goals, achievements and reasons. Like today, in the 'competition' (which IMHO, it wasn't really) a chance for Snipe aficianado's from around the world were gathered in one central server. Some meeting for the first time, some being on the same side of the scope for once and not 'searching'  for them to put a notch on our rifle stock, some clanmates, rookies, experts, young and old..enjoying a Saturday afternoon in each other's company. Duffry and his admins in one day, brought together some of the best and most passionate snipers in one sever at the same time and allowed us all to meet in game vs. just being a name on the leaderboards. Ranked/unranked, tanks, jets and jackasses aside, IMHO today was a huge sucess for what it will bring many of you off of that server. I truly hope that each one of us that participated were able to text, VOIP or in any small way respect, admire or at the very least meet and anjoy another new sniper acquaintence in BF2..Thank you everyone for making this happen.

I hung up my rifle a month or so ago when I became an Admin with EA and BF2RS, I've since slid down the leaderboard which I worked soo very hard to obtain...But in truth; it's the friendships of the lads I mentioned earlier and hopefully the many more to come which now, to me, takes presidence over a Global Ranking. It's definately about the frienships......

Slainte and Headshots,
Sinny

Yeah, that's what I'm wondering too... and what server was this on? And where were we supposed to find this out? Was this after or before the set time of 19.00 BST 'cause I popped in slightly ahead of time and things seemed to already be in full swing.

This needs to be organised better the next time (no offence duffry, I know it's hard to try and get a bunch of guys from all over the world together in one spot at a given time even before we get to the technical difficulties) and I think the rules need to be really rigid. I propose:
full unlocks obviously;
no artie;
no armour use, period;
and you can't get any sort of proper reading on this if you're having to watch out for some stupid dickless moron armed with a PKM so there should be an instant kickban for anyone seen not wearing a ghillie suit or, even better, seen not to be a sniper in the list, so there needs to be one non-playing observer for each team with admin status;
I'm of two minds about supply crates - you might live long enough to need the ammo, much less want to have your health topped up;
as for UAV and satellite spotting to aid the natural skills of each person, that seems almost like cheating too although it is a reflection of the normal gaming environment in BF2.
