To the folks down near the coast who are getting nailed in the storm. We wish you guys the best.
Somethings are more important then games.
Maybe comparing snipers to Terrell Owens is a bit farfetched, but calling them selfish is not. I knew that when [i]Battlefield 2[/i] introduced stat tracking, you would see gamesmanship go out the window like litter on the freeway. I knew that you would have point farmers (which I have seen) and people looking out for number one. People looking out for number one is not entirely new, but now that you get awards for it makes everything just a whole lot worse. This article however is about the sniper. Allow me to explain.
The sniper is not just the person who picks the sniper class and hides about. The sniper is a “look-out-for-me-only” type of cat. You know, the one that will join your squad and then just perch the whole game. The sniper has been around since online FPS has been out, and you just learn to deal with him on the field of play. Even I have come to just accept the fact that people love racking up kills (one-shot kills, mind you) and perching somewhere. They do not feel the need to help capture flags or put a rush on the opposition. They care about one thing: kills. I do understand the mentalityA
Few random thoughts.
First off Battlefield Modern Combat for the Xbox better not ever see the light of day. Its horrible. And by horrible I mean god awful, sharing the name of BF with the PC version is not cool. Once again dumbed down console gameplay. Console Vs PC version discussion? Proceed.
Also, Brothers In Arms sequel entitled “Earned in Blood” will be coming out sometime soon. Cool thing, CoOp play. Finally I can get down with Pretz and do some strategic butt kicking.
We will resume podcasting next Friday so stay tunned for that.
EDIT: I got the name of the Brothers In Arms sequel wrong, I’m a loser…
Hey kids, we are taking a break from the podcast for two weeks to gather new content. Man doing these things are fun, and its cool to be on the front wave of this podcast movement.
