*DAMN R6 Forum

i was on gameranger and i saw some people claiming that they were ghost recon vets. that fucking game is a baby. well what the hell is a vet? and what's a vet clan? i need a definition here, it seems like everyone is a vet now.

hmm... people can be vets in GhR... people can be vets on GameRanger... and also, people can be vets all around.

LoL bronto. Being that myself and u come from a different generation of gamers, we have a different definition of veteran. To us, veteran means someone who played RS from the beginning, but to those who play GhR, a veteran is one who has been playing GhR since the beginning. Yes they are babies, but they dont know any better  ;)

       Vets are the ones that have been here since R6 and RS demo and played RS till GHR came out and it died. GHR players can say all they want about how good they are but the fact of the matter is, that game is not old and the people that play it have new acounts, so how can they be vets? Whats next all the people that came to GameRanger when Raven Shield came out are going to consider themselves great too? No offense to the GHR players but when GHR 2 comes out you might be able to consider youselves vets.

fuck the titles, let your skill and stature speak for itself.

the game is over 2 years old already (yeah, yeah... not as old as R6 or RS ;))... and many people that play it dont have new accounts, played R6 or RS already or were playing other games on GameRanger... *cough* i'm GR# 1124, you n00b. ;)

me noob? pfff, noob civic



psst:

[4:31 PM] dr.spike.aHa!: omg, if you played aoe ill marf
[4:31 PM] z][t-Civic?.iNaru: i did

yeah, you newb... that was when no shooters existed on GameRanger yet. ;D

RS Demo wo-o-o-oT. i remember SS, AK, and NGR from teh demo.

Civic, did you suck Evills dick for that GR number or something?

I suppose that anyone below the 100,000 GR id number can now call themselves Vets. I really could care less though. As long as your easy going, dont camp and talk a whole lot of shit, your ok in my book.

Exactly

... ok so a GhR Vet would be a guy who has been playing GhR from day 1, plays it more hours a night than you sleep, and is considered one of the best GhR players around...

Not every GhR player only joined GR when GhR appeard... Some of us used to play RS and R6... some of us use different GR accounts.......... Some of us couldn't give a shit

umm... no. but there are probably many people who'd do so to get a similar GR number. ;)

i found GameRanger about 4 years ago or so... the server crashed like every day once and very lil games were available. my favorite was NetFungus... and it still is behind Ghost Recon. :D *falls into thoughts about the past*

Holy shit i used to love that game... if you ever fancy a few games civic gimme a shout :D

well that was netfungus for osx but when i opened it it was in french and it expired the second after i opened it...soooo...nevermind.

i tried the OSX version... it has loads of bugs... crashes a lot... and the design sux ass. AND it's not on GameRanger, to be able to play a ladder game. ;)

Lmao RS Demo and all those mods .. GP and such ..

yeah lol. modding that demo was so fun. i had a pretty good map pack myself :D. i think the modding ended when XOR wanted to edit the engine so that mods could be enabled, basically just making it free rogue spear...that woulda been some fun.

YuCk Rs Demo.

hmm, that was constructive.

A veteran refers to a person who is experienced in a particular area, particularly referring to soldiers in the armed forces. (From Latin vetus, meaning "old.")

I think the term "veteran" should endear more respect than some dick weed who has played a video game for a long time. Perhaps you should call your self a "dude that has played a video game for a long time", because in my humble opinion someone who served in actual combat and someone who has a played a video game for a long time should not share a common nomenclature.

I think the care factor on this subject is 0.

Humbug to this topic. The only vets on Gr are the ones who prove them-self to be so.

The true veterans of this community are those who've been around since R6. This doesn't mean people who were around back then but didn't play R6.

That said, such players are far and few between now days.

However, there's something more. One person who I don't consider a "vet" is SK, because he's a loudmouthed, inmature dumbass.

There's no such thing as a "GHR vet". Look in this thread. Myself, Kilzo, Spike, Bonto, Myst, Flame, Rebel and VooDoo are all "RS vets". There are still plenty of us around. When there are, oh, say 5-10 of us left on GR, then maybe you can start calling yourselves "GHR vets".

Does it really matter on account number?, surely its just how we get on as a community?

I also agree with voodoo's post.

I came on GR 2 years ago, I dont consider myself any better than all the newer people so why should you guys?

Trying to prove that youre a "vet", and someoe else is not a "vet" is like the Nazis trying to prove that the Jews were an inferior race in the 1930s/40s.  Using facts that dont really matter, to prove that someone is inferior to somebody else, when they're quite possibly better than you are.

Congratulations if you have a lower account number than someone else...congratulations if you played R6 way back in the day.  It doesnt mean youre better than anybody, or that you have any right to tell people what or who they are.

A true vet would acknowledge the new people comming into this community, with wide eyes and impressonable minds, and support the growth of the community, instead of trying to keep a stranglehold on their fading empire, like a xenophobic group of old men.

wow Loner, i would put that im my sig if mauti would let me.

You all want to know what a vet is???

How about someone who was playing Asteroids on an Atari 2600...

BEFORE MOST OF YOU WERE BORN.

***GhostSniper PWNS over 99% of the entire *DAMN BL.[/b][/size]

Wow ghostsniper, you are old. (sorry man you walked into that one)

Take a look at the creation date ;) :

Read this! (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~damnr6/tet/fullnews.cgi?newsid1040319111,2809,) and then for the fun of it  go  here (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~damnr6/yabbse/index.php?board=1;action=display;threadid=3130;start=0).

Funny to see some guys posting about the same topic again and how their statements have changed in the last 2 years.

Bye,

Mauti

 ;)  DAMN U MAUTI - You forgot to mention me in your summary LOL  ;D

And guess who's gonna die first?

Rather than argue who the "Vets" are... why not argue over who are considered to be the best players in:  RvS, GhR, AA, and CoD    

because it's always people playing favorites, mostly with themselves. we really don't wanna get started on 'who's the best' now bfg. and let's shut up about vets too, i accept mauti's definition, if the word vet has to be used.

**imaginary lock thread**

I was playing R6 with people like Stevie and Attila... I don't think I've ever used that to condescend anyone. Now, I quit GR for a while (got a gf and stuff like that) and when I came back, GhR had been released and had been out for quite some time... And let me tell you what people like Stevie and me said:

RS is R6 for noobs.

In MY book, people that spent too much time on RS had bad "Clancy-taste".
I hated RS because of the fact that it was kinda LIKELY that you survived a shot unless it was a headshot... I was so used to R6 that I thought I was dead and I would stand there (still and facing the roof or floor) thinking I was dead until someone walked past again and shot me. I hated the game and I hated the people that played it because they were cockier, meaner, ruder and louder than the R6 people.

Today I'm more tolerant. I don't play RS... I won't play RS... But I can at least tell myself that not EVERYONE is a version of Rapid.

No one is a "veteran" on GameRanger. There are only oldies and newbies and those darn middle-agers.


Note: My R6 name was not Acri.

Why don't you just stop judging people by their account number and judge on their attitude? People would get along. If someone calls themself a GhR vet, let them, if you disagree, keep it to yourself.

That's my 2?.

And lest we forget the noobie forever club...  :-[

The vets are slowly coming back it seems. Thats good because I'm sick of seeing noobs like bronto and Myst around.  ;)

Maniac, you are a forever noob.... just for the record. Never put me on the same level as that pathetic rodent they call Bronto.

I cannot beleive I am getting into this asinine thread but I am.
A vet is someone who is good and well estabilished within the community. I myself started playing on GR a month or two when RS came about (I had a different name and changed it, not tellin' who I was though ;) ) Sure, GHR members can be vets, afterall some of them are rather well connected in this community. The question is this: "How much time do you have to waste on some multiplayer community to gain imaginary prestige?" I am not here to judge who is a vet and who is not, granted I do not consider myself a vet, more like an old source of comic releif.

bronto > myst
myst is emo

Bronto, I don't like being bothered by "noob for ever"s thus your block. You are a PCer with no right to be on GR.

waa. that's why you're an emo.

Myst, I challenge you to a duel. In Ghr. If I win I'm a vet.

If I don't then I'll pay for your plane ticket out here to suck my dick.

Gabe, if you played any good games I would accept your challenge. I'm not interested on wasting several hours going around oversized makes to find some noobling camping.

Bronto, very emo of you to continue to follow me around.

Oi mysty me old mucker, have you ever played GhR ? ;) i can't remember the last GhR game i was in when anyone complained about camping -- other than perhaps a touch of spawn camping/killing.

Cause you all do it BFG.... ;)

I played GhR 2 days when I bought it. I found ti to rely too much on finding good spots and waiting. Plus sometimes the camo was too good to spot on my old iMac... I prefer to see the person who killed me. Not bushes with people hidden in each.

Fuck vet, I'm hardcore. Best recognize.

Awh mate the camo is the best bit..

 hence why its called "Ghost Recon" rather than "Big ugly noicy bastards With loud guns go to have a look at somthing interesting" ;)

<evil laugh> I mean gj BFG. Our game preference differs....

Yep... well on some things :) ... speaking of which its 89%  done mate... :D

<slight nod>  ;)

The major difference between GhR and RvS:

In Ghost Recon, only the noobs camp.  In Raven Shield, only the "vets" camp (and they get away with it).

Funny topic, but yeah there are R6 and RS vets, I don't think there are GhR Vets.  This is who I'd say are vets: (SiX) they're probably the oldest clan and they usually don't talk shit, have skill, and they're friendly, besides maybe Jesse, but he's long gone now.

Stop calling yourself vets and explain what makes you better than the common GhR or 100k account holder on GR. In real life, you are no different than them, so why would you be online. In short, who the fuck cares? If you are an army Veteran, than you hold the right to the title, until then stfu.

Ouch Myst that one was a bit over the top.

*cough* myst... its finnished.. so far pretty inpressed - must meet to discuss ;)
