Sea Snipers are Recruiting!!! (RECRUITING IS CLOSED!)
 

SEA SNIPERS – Elite Tactical Clan – Recruiting for Xbox 360

OVERVIEW

The Sea Snipers [SS] are a tactically-proficient, professional, highly-trained squad of elite gamers. We take gaming seriously and work to promote mature, tactical gameplay.

Born in October of 2002, we began competing in SOCOM 1 on the PS2, and have competed in SOCOM 2, SOCOM 3, SOCOM Combined Assault, Rainbow 6 Vegas 1, Rainbow 6 Vegas 2, COD4 and are currently competing in Call of Duty World at War on the 360 and COD4.

PROFESSIONAL PROJECTS

We have become known for our structure, discipline, professionalism and organization as well as for work on various strategy guides. Piggyback Interactive hired us to author and illustrate the multiplayer section of the Official SOCOM 3 strategy guide. After seeing our work on the SOCOM 3 guide, Brady Games hired us to author and illustrate the Official SOCOM Combined Assault, Call of Duty 4, and Call of Duty: World at War strategy guides. You many have seen our SEA SNIPER TIPS throughout the COD guides.

You can find more on the COD4/COD: W@W guides, including details on our trip to Infinity Ward, here http://seasnipers.net/forums/showthread.php?t=8957

BROTHERHOOD

The Sea Snipers promote a tight-knit sense of brotherhood amongst the members. We work to help each other excel in real-life as well as in the gaming arena. Most of our members are long-standing brothers with 5+ years in. This is the last clan they’ll ever join. Hence our motto – SEMPER FRATRES – Always Brothers

Our members have an average age of about 30 and many of us are active or ex-military. Every year, we get together for multiple events, including our annual conference/party – SniperCon. Highlights of past SniperCons are shown on our website, and activities have included guided tours of Navy ships, full access to F-22’s and Navy hovercraft, full-auto test sessions with a variety of hardware, and most recently firing .50 caliber Barrett sniper rifles and other various assault rifles.

MEMBER RECOGNITION

The Sea Snipers use a ranking system for our members similar to the Navy. You start out as a Recruit and must work your way up the ranks. We have a promotion/demotion system in place that lets you control your own destiny working your way up the ranks.

In addition, we have a large number of medals that can be awarded for valor on the battlefield and showcased in your signature. This commendation systems allows teammates to bestow awards on each other. You can find a full list of medals and ranks under the ‘AWARDS’ button at www.seasnipers.net We also offer Service Posters (and many other products) that can be viewed in the SS store located at http://www.cafepress.com/seasnipersstore

CODE OF CONDUCT

We have always recruited the man and not the skills. We have built a reputation unheard of among video game clans. Thus, we expect our members to behave in a manner consistent with the Sea Sniper flag they carry. This means no cheating, glitching, or unsportsmanlike conduct. We treat our opponents with respect, in hopes to receive the same in return.

FORUMS / COMMS

We host a very active forum at www.seasnipers.net/forums with thousands of members and thousands of posts. This provides a way for all active members and recruits to have daily contact. In addition, we have an entire private section for members with everything from Breaking News to Tactical Planning, an entire War Room where we create and sign up for matches, practices and tournaments, and we also stay in close communication via AIM, email, and telephone.

S.E.A.L. LEAGUE

We run our own underground league called S.E.A.L. (Sea Snipers Evade & Assault League) since Socom 2, and we're going on our 14th season. The league is played with rules that make COD a squad-based, non-respawn tactical shooter, rather than the run-and-gun style of play that you find in most public rooms. See more (including a cool flash intro) at www.seasnipers.net/seal

Thank you.

It takes a lot of time and effort for us to bring in a recruit, so please make sure you have the time and dedication to enlist. These people did not, and rang the bell...

Stupid OEF, catch yah next year

What is OEF?

And welcome to the forums Surreptitious.

Operation Enduring Freedom and thanks for the welcome.

Welcome to the boards. So what do you do in Afghanistan? What's your job there? Take care over there...:DANCING-banana-032:

Surreptitious, youve been around before right? Think you were in a clan with Hoopdaddy before he joined the SS? Anyway, stay safe and if you are new here, welcome. If youre old here, welcome back =)

Yeah bro you know me we talked a lot in S3 then when it switched we got lost. My account as you can see is from 2004. I was in AES Army Elite Seals and BuS... As for what I do in Afghanistan, I'm not there yet. I'm in pre-mob process in Indiana but when I get over there I'm going to be a mail clerk! Hooah for the mail

Yeah, I thought that was where I remembered you from but wasn't 100% sure. Anyway, good luck with everything and maybe see you online at some point, you do know we are on the 360 though, right?

Welcome and good luck!

Yes I know you're on 360 everyone in the army seems to have Xbox too. I was playing call of duty a lot with them. Anyways I'll be around the forums when I can and I'll see what you're doing a year from now.

Wow it seems like this is a very cool clan, too bad you are not recruiting for PS3 otherwise I would be more than interested. :music-095:

hey Supreme, what games do you play on PS3? I got me one of them as well

You could always get a 360 too =)

We used to be a playstation clan, toured on the entire Socom series, then did some research and moved to the 360. Haven't looked back yet. If you play cod4 on the ps3, the jump to 360 should be seamless.

Yep, thats what I did. And although im a ps3 fanboy, i find that the online experience on xbox live is a lot more fun with the party system.

The games a play are Socom Navy Seal, Battle Fields Bad Company, KZ2, Call of Duty 4 and Call of Duty W@W and of course I am going to be playing Modern Warfare 2.



I would like to try the 360 but every time I read a review about the console they always say, If you buy a 360 get ready to buy another, I dont know how true that might be but if thats the case I dont think I can afford it.
One question though, is it the quality way better than the PS3? How much you pay for xboxlive? Ive been to gamestop Ive seen so many things for xbox360 such as cameras, keypads, wires for this, wires for that, is all that really necessary?
im sorry if I sound ignorant but to be honest I kind of am when it comes to all the 360 stuff.

In what way is it more fun?

I would suggest starting a new topic regarding the pro's and con's of the 360 and keeping this one for the interest of recruiting :icon_wink:

Youll get a lot of advice from people here that will give you honest answers. Many of us have more than one console.

Rator shall I start to copy and paste from the <1> forums and start a new thread? It may take me several hours but it should settle some things.

lmao no thats a fanboy thread. Someone can start a thread in the questions forum.

Yes but it has a few decent arguments and plus there mod(chart master)isch.

I am interested in joining clan..how do I do that.I had tried to apply last year,but couldnt promise how dedicated I would be.My work hours have changed and can make practices.

Howdy Mab,

Ok here's the main post you need to read...
http://seasnipers.net/forums/showthread.php?t=9926

Then email shooter@seasnipers.net our CO of Recruit Training to Volunteer.

Thanks -will do..

I hope that [SS]HotCarl isn't me!

LMAO! Nah, that wasn't you man. That was someone that never made it.

Wow, past blast, sup CJ!

I thought about joining up, but I have to work on my gaming a little longer.

Just so everyone knows, we don't recruit based on skill. We of course require a certain level of skill in-game, but it is not the determining factor.

Id apply but i dont turn 21 till im afghanistan lol hopefully you guys are around when i get back

oh dont worry, we'll be here

if we recruited on skill.. theres no way in hell i would have made it lol

Ommm...wait a minute, I'm heading there as well. What part are you going too? And you're working for who?

I'll be with EODMU EIGHT in Kandahar to later go up FOB Lagman...

my brigade and battalion are going to kandahar and i believe ill be on FOB Lagman. dont know about myself yet though. Im in 4th ID 1st BCT 1 STB we arent going til next august though

Chief is EVERYWHERE!

"Savoir-Faire is everywhere!"

As much as I would love to join, I still need to wait 3 more years...

Rator weren't we talking about upping the minimum age to like 25 or something....


:icon_wink:

isnt that the "No Overdrive Rule"?

LOL
