    What are some good Web sites for renting game servers?

    I might be interested in getting on started or the Call of Duty PA PC crowd.

    Apparently I can get a 24 player Private server for about 20.00 a month from Gameservers.com...

    Anyone interested? Do we have a big enough Call of Duty 4 PC crowd to warrant this endeavor?

    Should we just wait till MW2?

    I think we won 2. Quite frankly, I was just happy when my ratio was 1:1.

    ODST reminds me why ironsights are awesome. Why can't I have a game set in that universe with this kind of gameplay? Would be awesome.

    free online play, better map rotation (ie map pack maps in standard play) (map packs probably free as well), higher player count, better control system

    and google didn't turn anything up so I assumed the official site had nothing (like most official sites do)

    I remember checking the site out to see if there were easily winnable contests for free swag and not seeing either perk lists or easy swag (I have a MW1 flat top cap, posters and other shit. so cash)

    Although modern military does still have bayonettes, I can't think of anytime a bayonette would be useful in urban, modern warfare. I've read heaps of books about the mideast wars and not once did they mention using a bayonette, with exception to Generation Kill where the idiot "Captain America" strapped his on and ran around willy nilly screaming like a 'tard.

    Although, dual bayonattes would be hilarious.

    I didn't know about the face bullets thing, but it makes sense that the crosshairs are pointing somewhere different from where the gun is pointing on the screen. Unless you're using the sights, then by all means, face bullet.

    I remember M16 training, and it's an old fucking gun. Vietnam soldiers used said bayonets to shank their enemies. Our NCO showed us the part for bayonets, and that if you ever hear the command "Affix Bayonets," it's time to leave the military, as your life is going to suck horribly.

    Argylls fight hand to hand in Iraq

    BRIAN BRADY WESTMINSTER EDITOR

    SCOTTISH troops fixed bayonets and fought hand to hand with a Shi’ite militia in southern Iraq in one of their fiercest clashes since the war was declared more than a year ago, it was reported last night.

    Soldiers from the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders mounted what were described as "classic infantry assaults" on firing and mortar positions held by more than 100 fighters loyal to the outlawed cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, according to military sources.

    At least 20 men from al-Sadr’s army were believed killed in more than three hours of fighting - the highest toll reported in any single incident involving British forces in the past 12 months.

    Nine fighters were captured and three British soldiers injured, none seriously.

    "It was very bloody and it was difficult to count all their dead," one source was quoted as saying. "There were bodies floating in the river."

    The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders were drawn into the fighting when soldiers in two Land-Rovers were ambushed on Friday afternoon about 15 miles east of the city of Amara. The soldiers escaped, only to be ambushed a second time by a larger group of militia, armed with machine-guns, rocket-propelled grenades and mortars.

    Reinforcements were summoned from the Princess of Wales’s Royal Regiment at a base nearby. "There was some pretty fierce hand-to-hand fighting with bayonets fixed," the source added. "There were some classic assaults on mortar positions held by the al-Sadr forces."

    Official spokesman Major Ian Clooney confirmed the Mehdi army "took a pretty heavy knocking", but refused to specify tactics. "This was certainly an intense engagement," he added.

    I was going to point something out about them being from a highland regiment but thought I'd let the article speak for itself.

    I once read something about British troops being the only troops throughout history to reliably use bayonet charges.

    Kind of off-topic, but how the hell do you lay two ambushes, including machine guns, RPGs, and mortars, lose 20 men, and not even inflict a serious injury? Can Scottish soldiers really be that good?

    The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders were drawn into the fighting when soldiers in two Land-Rovers were ambushed on Friday afternoon about 15 miles east of the city of Amara. The soldiers escaped, only to be ambushed a second time by a larger group of militia, armed with machine-guns, rocket-propelled grenades and mortars.

    Reinforcements were summoned from the Princess of Wales’s Royal Regiment at a base nearby. "There was some pretty fierce hand-to-hand fighting with bayonets fixed," the source added. "There were some classic assaults on mortar positions held by the al-Sadr forces."

    Official spokesman Major Ian Clooney confirmed the Mehdi army "took a pretty heavy knocking", but refused to specify tactics. "This was certainly an intense engagement," he added.

    I never said "Never" though.
    Still though, that's bad ass. And probably fucking terrifying.

    Speaking as someone who knows a lot of soldiers in the British forces, some who also happen to be Scottish:

    Yes. If they're sober.

    I met several SAS troops rolling with the CIA while I was in Afghanistan. I'm almost sure the CO of the SAS team was Scottish, judging by his accent. After hooking them up with armor kits for their vehicles, they would have beer and steaks flown in and stashed in the floor panels of their cargo planes.

    Best part about stashing beer down there? It was cold enough to drink right off the plane!

    Although modern military does still have bayonettes, I can't think of anytime a bayonette would be useful in urban, modern warfare. I've read heaps of books about the mideast wars and not once did they mention using a bayonette, with exception to Generation Kill where the idiot "Captain America" strapped his on and ran around willy nilly screaming like a 'tard.

    Although, dual bayonattes would be hilarious.

    I want a silencer on my silencer.

    Argylls fight hand to hand in Iraq

    BRIAN BRADY WESTMINSTER EDITOR

    SCOTTISH troops fixed bayonets and fought hand to hand with a Shi’ite militia in southern Iraq in one of their fiercest clashes since the war was declared more than a year ago, it was reported last night.

    Soldiers from the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders mounted what were described as "classic infantry assaults" on firing and mortar positions held by more than 100 fighters loyal to the outlawed cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, according to military sources.

    At least 20 men from al-Sadr’s army were believed killed in more than three hours of fighting - the highest toll reported in any single incident involving British forces in the past 12 months.

    Nine fighters were captured and three British soldiers injured, none seriously.

    "It was very bloody and it was difficult to count all their dead," one source was quoted as saying. "There were bodies floating in the river."

    Considering another article I read once said that the Scots were screaming at the top of their lungs as they charged.

    No, that's probably just standard volume conversation for them.
