I'm still GFF Spatula. I was online yesterday and playing the G Lab map. That's still my favorite, and 90% of the time I love using the sniper.

well..
it seem my dearest boss change my time in the work
so, i can´t play in the friday´s afternoon..
maybe in the night..

so..somebody fill the empty slot...

anyways..
easy target,eh? es my actual nick..
so try no snipe me..

Really? Sniping from where? I'm not a huge fan of the lab because all the games I've played in it have been bad for me.

Well, here's the video I did of the last game that took place. I took the music from my collection of Metal Gear music. It's 32 minutes long, I was too lazy to edit it cleverly. Enjoy:

MGO Brown Town GFF TDM

Google lowered the quality. The one I submitted is 236 mb quicktime. If anyone wants it I can upload it to Rapidshare or something.

I'll let you figure it out when we play. There are quite a bit for both the red and blue teams. The weakness with sniping though (as with many other games, especially MGS) is:

1) You can't move and it takes a good 3 seconds for you to go prone, then put out your gun, then get the correct focus.

2) If you spawn right where the enemy currently is, you're as good as dead.

Hey Mobius, how did you do that video capture? I'm interested!

EDIT: Mobius, YOU MUST take footage of the ENTIRE game we've got on our hands this saturday. I want to be able to analyse how each of us are playing and if there are any lessons I can take. I've learned some new tricks watching you play.

I explained how I recorded the game earlier. Basically I just record the game with my mini DV cam by using the video outputs on my VCR. I only have about 40 minutes off DV tape that I can use to record the game, so I'll only be able to get a part of one round (unless you turn the #tickets down a bit). I might spectate one game and record a few minutes of somebody else playing.

Yeah, I realized I'm not such a fan of the indoor maps. We've gotta play CUS, Ghost Factory, and Brown Town on Saturday's game! And maybe Pillbox Purgatory. Those are my favorite maps. Although we have enough maps to play as it is. I just hope Rasputin's on my team ::FOX::

I see your favorite sniping spot in the Lab Spatula. I've seen people do that before, it's very hard to get at that spot. I would've stayed there with the RPG if it didn't run out of ammo. I didn't know there were multiple flamethrowers on that map. The end of the battle started lagging a bit, there were several "ghost" items. Tell me, what was the most effective way they killed you when you were sniping at our spawn area? Did stun grenades have an effect, or did you die when they rushed us en mass?

The stun grenades are my sniping waterloo, Mobius. There's that area, plus the second floor where I set those claymores and I was rushing to find the command for you to STOP DON'T GET ANY CLOSE- but too late. God damn.

The second great spot for sniping is the library corrodor, it's a good spot since the blue team isn't exactly expecting it to round a corner like that.

My favorite spot for the blue team is the landing area which is the opposite side of the above sniping area, just laying on the stairs landing.

Now you see how I play. The art of sniping though is patience. Sometimes you won't get into the fray for a bit, but generally absent minded or not careful players are your prey. Furthermore, I try to get to spots where my field of vision is only 90 degrees and only one level, compare that to 180 with two levels that enemies can pop out from.

Just watched the vid, man you got some crazy good skills there.

Also, didn't we just have a game together? I didn't even realize it was you till I left and came back. I can't even remember the details, other than my team was rockin hard.

Yeah, we did have a few games together (Rasputin right?). I was top player on High Ice a couple of times, yet I was never Sokolov. Do you know why that is? You also have very few deaths, what's your strategy?

Spatula, I can see why you like indoor maps then. You get the enemy in a narrow area right in front of you and you can take them down quickly and easily. No offense, but I find that kind of "sniping" to be a bit cheap. It's a good tactic to use, but it doesn't require quite as much skill as sniping in open areas (like in CUS for example). The only time I like to do that is in Brown Town down the long road, which I call "sniper alley". It's not quite as narrow or limited as the indoor maps, but all the enemies are in your FOV when you're lying next to the cars at either end of the alley. The only weakness is that enemies can come at you from the side, but sniping there is well worth it when the battles center around that road. I haven't done that in a while because most of my recent games in BT have centered around the red base (building I kept fortifying with claymores in the video).

Sniping is cheap but then look at the major con about it: you can't move.
Just like I said previously, you sorta have to camp, given how the system works out that you can't move w/ SVD.

Ha, thanks for putting in my little logo there :)

I might be able to play at 3, but I have 4:30 church with my grandparents. I'll try to make it back ASAP. And if the Fun in the sun game isn't going on all day, I'll be on later tonight Pietak.

I know I know, I'm not blaming you at all. My fault.

Jesus guys, what are you bailing out on me early? JESUS TELLS YOU TO PLAY MGO, MOBIUS. It's the 17th commandment.

Start the server now. I've got a bit of time.

Okay. Fine. INITIATE GAME NOW!

Double Post:

Yeah, it's like Spatula disappeared off the face of earth.
I'll start a game at around 8:00 (about an hour and 20 minutes from now) in Meryl server if anybody's interested.

Sorry, I was puking my guts out. That beer was *nasty*. ;__;

Well I did run around Brown Town shooting boxes for like 30 mins from the original start time. Not a single soul showed up.

I couldn't find your game for some reason. I'm starting one soon so join up!
