Uhhh, medics already have more than 32 people signed up, they're going to have to have tryouts or something.

I was fairly convinced this would be over subscribed. That's why there are leaders for each side, they can pick teams.
It'll be like being back at school.

Mmm, but thats gonna be unfair as well I think, cuz Leaders will pick by K/D  and my k/d is only. 94 but I've about 5500 kills as e medic..

Signing up for medic.

Might be a bit soon. I would feel more comfortable with the weekend after to get all the details sorted. That way the teams have a little more time to prepare too.

Just a question, are you planning to use unlocks? Without the G36E, for example, the medics are pretty screwed on maps like Dragon.

Unlocks, deffo.

i think that unlocks shouldnt matter if the person is good enough.

But this is a medics vs snipers comp and most people play these kits using unlocks.

The L85 is very accurate on single shot, but roughly the same as an AK for anything else. The G36E and M16 are better for long range, but the L85 does well as long, excellent at medium and very weell at short range.

Anyway, I wouldn't like to come up against an M24 with nothing but an AK47, so bring on the unlocks. Although Karkand minus unlocks could be interesting... Ak101 v M24 or M16 V SVD

Have added the leaders to the main page (you know you can click my sig to get there, right?), and put their details on too.

sounds fun, too bad i'll miss it

I'll kill myself after eating my own shit if the Snipers win.  This is gonna be funny

OK here are my thoughts :

First of all IMO it's not gonna be a fair match:  <I really don't doubt anyone's skills here>

Team of 6 medics reviving their asses non stop, re-healing, and removing claymores with team-mates is no skill at all !

IMO :

1. NO COMMANDERS ! <NO ARTILLERY, NO UAV, NO SCAN>  <it gives the medic team unfair advantage>
- It eliminates the element of surprise <especially on the sniper team>
- Killing a sniper with a Artillery strike is no proof of skill in a Snipers vs Medics match

2. NO Vehicles <Infantry only>

3. THE MATCH WILL NOT PROVE THAT ONE KIT IS BETTER THAN OTHER <it all depends on the situation and skill>

<it's just a struggle started by 908741059871059781 who havent experienced how much a difference a skilled, active sniper can make>

quote <908741059871059781> : They only use they have is the occasional headshot or claymore flag defend. I truly feel that they offer little to no contribution to winning a game (even the best ones.)

I hope that the match will be recorded and available for download

Hmm, I'm a little behind here but when I checked the page last night considering the supposed egos of snipers in general I think the percentages for each of the choices made for interesting reading:
Easy win for medics - medics 46%, snipers 4%
Win for medics - medics 29%, snipers 21%
Close game - medics 21%, snipers 33%
Win for snipers - medics 4%, snipers 29%
Easy win for snipers - medics 0%, snipers 13%

Seems the snipers might be just a tad more realistic about this than some people give us credit for and yooz medics might be just a leeetle overconfident some of you... on any map with good visibility this won't be a cakewalk for the medics; even if you had just average players on both sides the snipers would put in a respectful showing but there are some truly exceptional snipers signed up and more than a few more who are well above average.

I can't help but wonder, does the late rush for Strike At Karkand in the votes highlights that someone realised the folly of trying to take on a dedicated defence of snipers on a map like Wake?!


Books, great to see you're on board. Here's hoping the lag will be good for you, Nyte and any other US players on the server.

The sniper team should probably try to get together ahead of time to establish some semblance of strategy... Any thoughts TA?

Oh yes <rubs hands together in Machiavellian manner>


By the way if I end up fighting and not commanding I'd like to take this opportunity to thank in advance any medics I kill with the express purpose of taking their kit to heal myself

Hey, I'm new here, and I signed up for the fight, as a medic. I know I probably won't make it, because pretty much this is my first account, and I don't have a dedicated medic one, but, on Wake, how will medics have a chance? If we get stuck on a carrier, half the sniper team could be on the shores, picking us off our boats, and with enough shots from M95's, could potentially take down choppers. And with it vice versa, it just doesnt make much sense, because we can easily. I know the visibility is good on Wake, but there still is a limit to how far you can see. I just don't think that's a good map. Either way, this is a great idea, and I hope I get chosen.

No, really, Medics FTW.
