Sgt Rock Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 I was playing the Aurora mission the other night, set to Elite. I rolled as a sniper, per my usual MO. After spawning, I moved right, using night vision, and spotted a large cluster of tangos in the chasm in the distance. It looked like maybe 5 in a cluster, but then three more appeared to the left, walking back and forth. I knew that even with a silenced rifle (the Stoner, of course), once I tapped anyone, the rest would scatter. I was also concerned about being spotted at the top of the ridege line. I edged up until I could just about see all of the guerillas on the right, but had a clear shot at the 3 on the left. My secondary weapon(s) were grenades, so I switched, aimed in a high arc, and threw a pineapple towards where I expected the group to be. As soon as I threw, I switched back to the Stoner, and took out the two on the left as the grenade fell. The third, miraculously, had moved to the right and was caught in the blast. This took out 8 tangos!!! Of course, I finished up the rest of the mission without incident, at least to me - the tangos might tell a far different story, if the dead could talk... I took some pictures from the point at which I threw the grenade, and then from closer up to survey the damage. I'll post them as soon as I get the chance.

How that happen if i use a silenced rifle or sniper rifle (sa25 sd) I can pick off groups with them not firing i have been with in about 10 feet from an enemy soilder with another about 2 feet from him i took out my m9-sd and took out the one closer to me 1 shot to the head he screens like an idiot and falls. The guy next to him moves his arm i go to aim before i shot he scratches his head and puts his arm back down and start to talk to himself (notic he is was facing the guy i killed and its on elite) I than shot him with my pistol and move on.

Sgt Rock Posted December 2, 2003 Author Share Posted December 2, 2003 Here are the pics. I don't think I'm the bees knees as far as sniping goes, but the grenade toss was incredibly fortuitous. Zoomed in carnage, up close: Screen shot of tangos without zoom, where the action began: (thanks to Bob the Nailer for highlighting the cadavers) Up close and poisonal, overview of grenade blast: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob The Nailer Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Those are sweet screenies. I like that you can see the guy from the other group that wandered over to the grenade blast. I bet he barely made that radius, but he got it alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt Rock Posted December 2, 2003 Author Share Posted December 2, 2003 I can pick off groups with them not firing Some days you get the bear, and some days the bear gets you. I think we can all recall instances where the AI goes awry, but I don't count on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karate Kid Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 that's a pretty lucky shot. i',m wondering if luck like that is from skill with the game or a skilled hand at faking screens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karate Kid Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 You had better watch your back.......... Um sure snake if that is your real name. First of all I don't know why you are getting involved you must love living in fear. My GR skills are not to be matched anywhere in this universe. I would take a look at my name and avatar again. It's not just for show it's a warning. My karate instructor says i'm developing so fast he wanted me to sign up for another six months and even buy a new uniform and gym bag. and i'm not takking anym more crap! especially from you! As afar as BObthe nailer. Anyone who uses a girl tied to a target as an avatar might have a few issues going on. i thiunk he the only ones he am beat at GR are girls withtheir arms tied.

And second, thats girl on the target is in his sig, not his ava.......... and third avey is right, karate has no impact on your GR skills.............. and last off, and i have a feeling that i could find many people that could kick yor ass..................

CME4WHOIAM Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 My karate instructor says i'm developing so fast he wanted me to sign up for another six months and even buy a new uniform and gym bag he he im a black belt i been in karate 6 years not sure about karate in GR but hand to hand combat or a use of a bannet (knife thingy that u put at the end of your gun) would be nice. AI is very smart on GR i will say that but they are still very dumb. You can pick them off with a slients gun adn another guy watches his friend die and doesnt move or do anything.

Dark Ranger Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 Easy guys. No use turning this into a ###### contest. Fact: Being skilled in Martial Arts does not necessarily improve your computer-gaming skills. The thing to remember is many of the forum regulars have played Ghost Recon since the game came out. With practice, you can produce those great kill shots. Off-Topic: It really does upset me to see some Martial Artists proclaim their skills so arrogantly. Perhaps they have great potential, but the act of beating one's chest suggests immaturity. You need not display your abilities for all to see. It's that quiet confidence that really takes discipline to employ. But perhaps that's on the lesson schedule in the next six months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's great! Wait until he finds out about your fascination with The Karate Kid, he'll have you waxing his car and painting his house. Maybe you should have a gym bag in every color, that seems to help your skills as well (cough-and his wallet). That's what I heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
