We are going to start off fresh with a brand new regiment activity. The snipers battle is similar to the battle for map control, except the common factor is the game type instead of the map.
For this activity all the games are sniping games and can be played on any map. We will play a best of 15 series. The first regiment to win 8 games will be the winner.
As per the usual regiment activity format, no more than 3 games can be played in succession. This will prevent to many lopsided games and reduce the bitching. Due to rather lackluster participation, I am going to allow 2v2 games. This will allow there to be a greater number of games to be played because there is not always enough members from each regiment online for a 3v3 or 4v4. However, the maximum number 2v2 games allowed is 10, or 5 2v2 wins out of 7 per regiment. If it sounds a bit confusing, just let me worry about that because I understand it.
Please let me hear your feelings on the starting weapon format. We have two options basically. MLG style (starting weapon human snipe, secondary BR) or pure sniping (starting weapon human snipe, secondary beam). I like MLG style, but I fear on small maps it will become too much of a battle rifle game.
I would assume that the majority of the games will be slayer, but if you want to be adventurous, you can try objective games with only snipers. It might be fun, I have never really tried.
The Snipers Battle will begin as soon as I have decided what starting weapons to use,after hearing input from you guys of course.

I say go with both...make a stipulation that it'll be MLG on the larger maps and pure sniping on the smaller. This way we'll get a mix of maps.

yeah both is good, but maybe have snipe/BR more on the maps like colossus and sanctuary etc..

I go with rick's idea, but it would make sense to put it as all sniping since it is a "sniper" battle

True phoenix, but look at how MLG does colossus and sanctuary. At least 3/4 of the time you are using the sniper, but you pull out the BR if it is upclose sometimes. On small maps, it would turn into a BR match. Because of that, I guess I can make a list of what maps should use each setting.
I think the next time I play I will try MLG rules on small maps and see what it is like.

The Sniper Battle will begin today (Tuesday 10/11) and will go until one regiment wins 7 games. You can play with either type of weapon setting, I will leave it up to you guys to decide at game time.
Also, you can only play one 2v2 game at a time with the same players.

i think that in this sniper tourny you should not let people sit out, because it changes the entier game for example if your playing and you start right next to someone and they assinate you then you'll have to sit out again because i saw ur video and zangief you or nobody could have won if it wasnt for the sitting out. so what i am trying to say is that the game will be completely turned over or so much closer if it wasn't for sitting out.

Well this sniper battle is a team battle and no one sits out. You are months behind.
Also, the sitting out is completely fair. You get rewarding for being better by not having to sit out. In an FFA game you can't avoid getting killed, so you are going to have to sit out, everyone does. But lets not argue that here, this a results thread for the sniper battle only.

you got to get an xbox Christian. There really cheap these days, especially since the 360 in coming out in month. The sniper battle has been a lot of fun so far.
And incase people havn't seen it yet, it has become a best of 15 battle, the first to win 8 games wins the battle.
