I'm dead, your leet, tiddly shitbibbles.......I win, you lose. Sucker.
And another thing......when people connect, or when you start noticing who you're playing against.....what or WHO do you fear most?
in CS....me and sjt connect.....and the entire server goes "oh shit", and then whatever team we are not on goes "oh shit shit shit".
In BF2, and now in 2142......you see us on the server, and you know whatever your team needs the most, whatever it takes for you to win, whatever it takes for your team to beat our team.......we take from you. There will be no artillery strikes in the house of bigdog. There will be no homebases and vehicle spawns. There will be no easy flags, or safe spawn areas. There will be no easy drops on my titan, or easy defenses on your titan. I guarantee the BD guys know this.
If it's going to be about placing bets......will big and sjt's squad, or will the BD or ______ squad win the day.........where are people going to place their bets?
And is it about my KD, or my accuracy? Is it even about our online time and ranks? Is it even about what game we are playing, the map, the time of day, or ambient temperature?
No.......it's about sjt and bigdog and whoever is in their pack are running the game down by the numbers. Taking it all into account, and putting all their cookies into the one, true basket of victory. Straight to the jugular, and not letting go until the enemy stops bleeding out of it.
Are people like "oh shit, it's blackhawk the sniper" when you connect? Or Cebelius? Do they even notice, black? No offense.....but I wouldn't.
I notice hit squads. Fast attack, fast rush, shutdown the map, corner the enemy, anihilation. that's what everyone notices. Those moments where people.....when the dust settles.....go "holy shit, what the fuck was that?!".
they don't notice attrition, and sniper battles. Only the two snipers involved in such a battle care.
If you, and whoever you wish, are going to be snipers.....and me and sjt are going to take what you don't want us to take....All there can be is hiding, and running, and sneaking, and waiting for us to leave, so you sniping vultures can come in and pick up our trash. Being a sniper is about survivial, not about putting up a decent fight.
Without rollers, sonars, and assault rifles.......you can kill us. hell, you might kill half of us. Maybe you'll even kill 5/6 of us. But it's that one guy.....that one guy who takes the silo, lets the rest of us respawn, and hold YOUR house for the duration of the map. And without an equivalent force......or at least something heavy such as a pilum or missile launcher....in a MECHANIZED GAME, which all maps have some form of.......snipers do nothing but delay the inevitable...if they even delay it at all.
At most, they can only be effective against stupid people. Now...of course....most gamers are stupid people. Maybe even 75% of them. So......in that sense.....snipers must be effective.
If we could just get rid of all the stupid people.....man.....then I'd show you bastards.

Re: Sniper?
I'm done.....let's say it in teh game.
Black...you know where I dwell on most 2142 maps. You know where my spawn points are going to be......
So you come and take it...or you keep me from taking it.
I can't even believe this is even up for debate........me, and my crew.....we take it.....10:1.

Re: Sniper?
You have to understand that Snipers have tactics and can help a team out too. How do you know that the snipers weren't just clearing the area of enemies so a squad could move it with little resistance. Now I'm referring to snipers in general not sepcifically referring to myself. Personally I can't snipe for shit, but I am saying putting my a proper place with a sniper rifle, I'll get the job done. Now just snipers in general are deadly. Yes they can kill you over and over again and kill your score and stats, but is that what their really trying to accomplish. I'm sure some of them might, but most others are just trying to kill whoever they see which is ultimately the point of war.

Your calling snipers dumb because they don't take silos or defend silos? Your calling snipers stupid because all they worry about is survival? I'd like you to tell that to the US military and argue to them how snipers serve absolutely no point at all as well as in the game.
Snipers will not only defend or attack silos or titans, they will take your head off with one shot at 900yrds. You will fall down not knowing what the fuck killed you or where your killer lies. That's the whole point of being a sniper, To kill by surprise. Hell they will not only destroy armor(RDX) they will sneak right up behind you and tear you a new asshole.
Now I am not saying that I'm the sniper of all time or the most crazy sniper know it all. I'm simply saying that snipers do have a purpose and yes they can be stopped and they can succeed just as easily.

At least in BF2, you could say every kill you make is reducing tickets. But not in 2142 (yet another benefit of the game...you have to WORK for your wins).
