    Host sniper 47-1. Not the most impressive score but I was counting the headshots and 40 of my kills were with them and I had 2 double headshots during the game. Plenty of other games I would consider my favorite but that was the first one that came to mind.

    TL;DR -

    I think I've posted my memories somewhere else before, but I'll post them again. Literally everything was great, even if it was drama induced lol. For example, I loved that when I first started playing, I would leave lobbies until I could find Xenonox, and play assault against him. I credit him for indirectly teaching me A LOT about how to play assault and how to combat assaults. I had never found anyone who was more difficult to finish off, for the sole reason that he would run at the sign of death. (Not complaining) It allowed me to learn the match ups and figure out how I am able to use the assault to read the field and instantly jump on mistakes. The only time I was going to kill Xenonox is if I knew I could play in a manner that cut him off. Every skilled game takes a while to develop a meta, and although I don't agree with his pub playstyle in competitive matches, I credit him to evolving the assault very early on. Others have definitely helped push the assaults meta, but nobody comes close to Xeno that early on. After Xenonox, I think Chron completely changed the way assault was played, and changed the fact that we stuck the more incompetent people on assault.

    The games against Peachy was always fun, even though he played very similar to Xeno. I was never quite able to match up against him like Xeno, but still. I love a challenge, and it was absolutely a challenge to go up against someone who never played off host. I think it definitely helped my game in one sense.

    Besides the pubs, nothing will come close to the competitive matches, and different eras we have played. It's actually crazy to think we've probably had over 200+ people try private matches at some point. I had apparently played a couple of PM's with Xeno at one point, but didn't get involved competitive until the Draft Tournament, where I finally got a break into the community. At that point, I was just a random kid on the forums, and I remember messaging players like zatchmo, and pineapple kush seeing if they wanted to team. Nobody responded! iPres, and his other iGuys too.

    Luckily DeadStretch had picked me up, despite it being like a 4th or 5th round draft pick. It just fueled my drive to prove I was one of the better players in the game. Unfortunately we only played one match, but it was enough to show I was a solid assault competitively. If I recall, we played against a team that had drafted kckzi, and played on GrenadeIII. Despite Kckzi and I being on different teams, we both pulled huge 30-40 plus kills with little deaths, and I had showcased enough to Jack Trips for him to ask me to be a part of a new team he was creating. I remember the private messages on the forums, and ended up forming Droppin Insane Combat Knowledge (****) with a bunch of other prospects that were solid players looking for a chance to prove themselves. I really hadn't heard of any of my teammates, other than AmazeTheory who we ended up dropping! Sorry AmazeTheory!

    From there, **** took off, and we I had started to venture into the realm of actual competitive MNC, which to me was the last era of actual teams trying, minus the H&S vs WTS. It was really exciting because at this point, I hadn't really played with any of them, yet decided to get a scrim against the Dirty Half Dozen, which I honestly can't remember who was on the team. I know Xenonox was, and a couple others who were considered good at that point. Much to my surprise, we had stomped them on both maps, which just seemed so foreign to me. Every PM and public game I've played showcased individual performances, and this was the first time I witnessed a solid attempt for teamwork to win the game.

    From there we were hungry. Didn't have ego's yet, but wanted to prove we could hang with anyone. I can't remember any other scrims, other than Destiny and GrandPrize. If I'm not mistaken, we had Aaedon sub in for F5in. I had always considered F5in our star prospect so it was rather unfortunate that we couldn't get in for those matches. Aaedon did a good job regardless. The destiny game was the REAL eye opener though. I think they were missing Chaos (their gunner) and someone else, so Shammas and Miracle subbed in which were arguably better than the original roster. We ended up beating them as well, and they were considered the number 2 team, and the only one that were able to hang with GP.

    From there we went to play GP who had used Chronicle instead of Deadeye, which at the point may have hurt them? We had aaedon fill in for F5in, and ended up loosing both maps. However, as dumb as it sounds, it was a big deal because we had taken them to OT in the second game, and actually put up a rather decent fight. In watching the videos, we never really had a moment where their ball was going to drop, but we had done a good job of putting up a fight. That game was the peak of my MNC career up to that point. As good as the Destiny match was, we had played the most competitive MNC game at the time.

    From there, it's definitely been interesting. We've had so many people come and go, and despite what some may claim, there was a decent talent pool of players. Throughout the course of PM's, we had players like Nova Warlord, PsychoBen, CrimsonAutumn, Puerto Rican etc who were definitely solid players, even guys like LeadLP who don't seem to get the credit they deserved.

    It's really hard to comment on the general private match community because of all the various eras, and players who have come and go. I will say that turning juice buying off was one of the best ideas the community had implemented

    After careful deliberation within our party chat we came to a consensus that you must put a tl;dr somewhere within your post. Thank you

    there you go, put it right in the beginning for you. I know standard effort isn't exactly your thing, especially when it comes to pronouncing letters, symbols, words, or sentences. I assume reading falls in the same boat.

    Just got charged onto the glass next to the spawn room on g3 as a support. I have been up there by firebase jumping from the jump jet but never charged up. After all this time new stuff still manages to happen once in a while.

    Maybe if you stopped removing people they would happen more often :).

    TL;DR - shitting on pub stars.
    I can't remember the exact lobby or team build ups but I think it was me, James Melledy, LeadLP, Feedle, and Swimming Yoshi against RustCLAN and four of his "friends" like El Chorizo, Los Huevos, and a couple of others. I am not 100% of the classes, but I am know that we dropped into their game, and **** all over them.

    Then next game they came hard at us with leashed gunner, assault, assassin, and bot shooting sniper. We **** on them again because James is a better gunner than any of them, Yoshi is one of the best supports in the game, Feedle on bot tank is just hard as hell to stop when enemy slayers are contained, Lead is a WAY better assault than any of them, and although I can shoot bots all day long on Steel Peel I actually know how to use ice traps on offense...

    Next game, they all go bot punching assault. We all played support and just set up 2-3 firebases around the juice machines and had one guy keep them alive and the rest of us escorted bots making them hard to punch. I don't think they got juice once, and we spawn struck the hell out of them. After that, they all left the lobby.

    We followed them to pubs for the next 15 minutes or so, and every time we showed up they would promptly quit game.

    So I got challenged to a 1v1. I accepted. I won. I won because he ran to the juice machine, realized it was off, then quit.

    TL;DR - my first PM
    I got stuck on sniper. It was default. I did poorly. I had fun.

    TL;DR - "YOU HAVE NO KILLS"
    Although it was a screaming match, it was a really cathartic game for myself. I never really spoke up against people, but I was just sick of peoples **** and snapped. I think it was the first time I really didn't give a **** and just treated people as they treated others. It became a running gag for a while. It was the first time that I was really just fed up with the game, and didn't want to play it any more. It was the beginning of the end for me, but I can clearly define when that game was. Everything after that was a downhill slide, but it just makes me remember the good times; of which there are too many to count.

    I remember most of this toon and i must admit your one of the only players who never really let things bother you. You moved forward and prevailed. Also i commend you because you posted videos on youtube of you winning and losing.

    Most youtubers dont have it in them to post a match of them losing even though they should. We are all human. No one is perfect. Why hide it on youtube.

    I have wayyy too many memories of this game. Most of them were with cor, lockdown, wtfe, and facing various players.

    I had fun stomping on deadeye, rustclan, getting chollo in madtown, everyone trying to melee me even though it doesnt bother me, the suicide strikes and crazy team kills ive done to people for a giant amount of laughs.

    I got stuck with an air strike and chocolate thunder was going for his uber.. I decided to go under the bridge on g3 he was on and it killed him. Dude lost it but it was so funny.

    Dale and the community center... Almost like sabre you could hear dales family talking in the background but it sounded like he was in a gym playing.

    Gigivus and mclovin shotgun deadeye to death and taunt... This was another of the funniest moments ive ever been a part of.

    All the things me and jester, gig, hella did.. We has fun for days..

    Me, lead, gem, gc, buff.. When we played together it was always about fun and laughs... We made a game about rustclan and the guy will never play anyone with wtfe as a clan tag.

    As bad as ive ever been or going so negative people have had to see how much this game allows it. Its been fun for me and while pms were great nothing is better then playing w people who share the same memories as you.

    Every match I spent with 0 deaths because even while cheating and abusing spawn kill exploits you fellas couldn't touch me. Whenever I decided to idle you guys would wet your pants for the chance to spawn strike me, lol.
