Sea Snipers leave Socom & launch S.E.A.L.
 

Well, after more than 4 years of dedication and intense battles, the Sea Snipers are leaving Socom and moving to Rainbow Six Vegas on the Xbox 360.

I know a lot of you guys thought we were working on the new Socom for the past 4 months, but we weren't. We were researching, testing, and training on RB6: Vegas. We may be asked to do the new Socom strat guide in which case we would play it as much as we needed to to author the guide, but we will not be competing in Socom.

We're finished with our tour of duty on Socom right now, it just lacks what we want. Socom/Sony/Zipper had given us a couple of really good games in Socom 1 and 2, but ever since 3 came out, they started giving the community things we didn't want, not giving us things we asked for, and removing things we liked. Where's that map pack? Why did we have to buy a $100 HDD? I won't get into details since most of you probably already know them. Suffice to say, after all we've done, we're moving.

We had a good run and some good fun in Socom, wrote and illustrated the last 2 strat guides, illustrated all but a few of the S2 maps, did the whole TWB thing, and hopefully helped some people along the way. We had some great times with Socom and especially all of you guys/gals that have supported us and fought alongside or against us for the past 4+ years. I never imagined the amount of support and feedback we received from all of you over the years for everything. It's really just been amazing and we want to thank all of you. We're going to miss killing all of you guys/gals. We're not really going anywhere, we're just going to continue our tour of duty in RB6: Vegas on the 360.

Vegas has great hit detection, blood, awesome graphics and sound, customizable weapons/faces/uniforms/gear etc., 15 great maps, and the developers are active on the forums. They actually have their own forums. They have patched the game 3 times in about 3-4 months and released a downloadable map pack that included 5 maps and 2 new modes. They actually patched things that were broken with the game! Things that the community posted about on their boards, they listened and patched it. sarcasm BTW, you guys get that map pack for CA yet? /sarcasm

If anyone has any questions about Vegas or the 360 feel free to ask away.

As some of you know, we have been running an underground league called the S.E.A.L. for the past 4 years. Started in 2003, the S.E.A.L. (Sea Snipers Elite Anti-Bomb League) has been a great success, and fielded some of the best clans in the business. We are migrating the S.E.A.L. to the 360 and RB6: Vegas and welcome all of you to join us http://www.seasnipers.net/SEAL . We have revised the name to Sea Snipers Evade & Assault League as well. For those clans that have participated and won S.E.A.L. in the past, please feel free to now proudly display your trophies on your websites (click the Trophy Room link on the new site to grab your trophies if you lost them). The Sea Snipers would also like to thank all of the previous S.E.A.L. clans for maintaining comm silence about the league over the past 4 years, very cool.

As we open up the S.E.A.L. to the public and the 360/Vegas community, we will be scrimmaging new applicants over the next couple of months and encourage everyone to look us up and seriously think about joining us in S.E.A.L.. We would love to see you guys make the jump and join us. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me, rator@seasnipers.net

Thanks again to everyone for all your support over the years.

Best,
[SS]Rator and the Sea Snipers

TY, Semper Fi.

Wow.. I feel weird.. I feel like i have no reason to come here anymore :(


You guys keeping these forums? or moving them elsewhere?

Im imaginign that your going to be making a new site for the SS rator right?

Well either way, I'll hang around.. After all I've spend quite a while on these forums.. so why not eh :)

We are still the Sea Snipers and our site will stay www.seasnipers.net.

Thanks Lunch, and go get a 360 bro! The hazing isn't THAT bad...

And Neo, we're not going anywhere, we're still the same people, still the same forums, but yes we will be redesigning the site soon.

and hey welcome Hitman! Is he our first Vegas guy?

Well, this is both god and bad news for me: I'm glad that you guys have finally found a game that you like. the bad news is that I'm currently saving money for a new bow for my upright bass(buggers can be very expensive) so after a while I should be able to get a 360 and join you guys on RB6

-OD out

Thanks for the welcome :thumbsup:

Erraah !! snipersmil

kinda, Rator I sent you an e-mail which should explain it all.

Also sorry for the triple post, i am a MOD for our site and was thinking that I could merge my post :Sorry:

Awesome.

One more year and I'll be 18, keep in mind.

there is some MAJOR douchebag freaking out in the thread on PSU...I have been goin back and forth with him all morning...you guys must have wronged him somehow in a previous life...lol

Heh. No matter what you do there will always be a hater. Don't worry about them Dat Guy. We don't. We know our effect on the real community. Some knucklehead hater is not going to change that.

OMG, is there a right way to spell that, lol. I cant count how many different times I have seen it spelled in another way, it seems every time I see it, there is another way it is spelled, lol.

Heh, we all know how to say it, but I guess maybe we just cant spell? Oh well.

hey look you got your xbox sig goin...was it really that hard?...lol

Well the correct spelling is " OORAH "

But I'm a Grunt(0351) so we said it like this " Erraahh "

Only officers say oorahh ROFL !!!

Assaultman, nice.

I always said it Hooah raah, kinda in between I guess, lol. I cant even try to spell the dam thing, I just say it and thats thats, lol.

Either way check this out:

Marine Silent Drill Platoon

Yup, shit is crazy. I dont think they ever make a mistake, lol. I still have yet to see them in person though. sadsmiley

Rator...
Send a friend request to ALIEN8TED on Live and I'll catch up with you guys on Vegas. Been involved in Oblivion lately, but I have Vegas as well as Graw2 if it's something you guys also play.

Cool, mines ISSI Rator

Wow.. thank you for that piece of Awesomeness.. that was so badass

So, the powers that be at the Sony boards decided that we were "advertising" by letting our friends of 4+ years know what we're currently doing. They edited my original post and cut it in half and deleted 5+ pages of posts and replies from our friends.

That's pretty sad that they simply brushed away everything we've contributed to the sony/socom community to regulate their forums to prevent "advertising". Of course that wasn't our intent. You didnt see any banners or logos or any bullshit like that, all i did was post letting everyone know what we're up to, where we're going and what we're playing. I guess you can't ask your friends of 4+ years to look you up anymore.

This is one of the reasons we moved. Thanks Sony!

HAHAHAHAHAHA

awesome. how fucking silly.

Wow! :O They delete more than half of your post. You only have about 1/4 of your post left. What did they think you were advertising?

Heck they worked your post so mu you should edit it to this:

"We are leaving SOCOM. Go here www.seasnipers.net/forums to find out why and what we are doing now."



By looking at what they deleted it would seem that they felt you were advertising:
Stategy guides
Xbox 360
S.E.A.L.

Of those the only thing that you could profit from is SEAL (from the cafe press store).

thats what you get from a company that has no care for their customers and think they are gods in the industry...its going to kick them in the ass...The PS3 is kicking them in the ass, they ARE losing market share and they still dont know why
