Hi again and thanks to all for the welcome! On the Finn front.. they're tough beans! hehe! I'm sure you guys have done some research into snipers but this guy tops the crop IMO, Sami Häyhä. Here's an excerpt about him: Another source:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simo_H%C3%A4yh%C3%A4 I know you want more wide information but for starters this guy's a fascinating story...a true warrior, without all the bells and whistles. Perhaps some of the other Finnish guests (I noticed a gentlemen from the Finnish military visiting here?) may have more to add? Anyway, about Arma2 and the like....thanks! I would value some tips. I've been flying choppers a fair bit already on my own and have improved a lot...thought I was good until I came on to your server! lol! But yeah, I'm still VERY new to the game and am looking forward to getting into the team work aspect and learning the ins and outs of the game. I'm very much used to the tactical comms and teamwork too from my previous clan but the game itself, the characters, movement, and roles that are set up when coming in are all new when in a group. Thanks for the patience and see you on the battlefield.

You can if you water cool that bad boy! ...Oh and yes....nice rig Zath. The cable management's great. That's my weakness personally. Can't get it right. Yours looks great!

Finally a person who sees the value of having BOTH games! Respect!

Wicked cool car Zeno! Drive it hard but safe!

Hey DeltaSierra! I saw you online this morning and found you to play quite well man. I agree with the maturity issue! One of the things that attracts me now here. Hope to catch up with you (and learn a few things) too in game.

Hello Spartans! I'm new to your site, server, and teamspeak. So you CAN call me the noob of the day rather appropriately! I'm a 33 year old Canadian national who's located in Finland. Been here about twelve and a half years now. Married to a fine Finnish woman and together we've got four kids with a fifth on the way in February 2010! I have a business background but work in IT as a manager for our company's Intranet/Internet/Enterprise search platform. I love gaming and enjoy building computers and watercooling systems. I've started my gaming back with Commodore 64 (LOL) but the real gaming (online) started with DOOM and DukeNuken 3D (ahhh the good ol days) via 14.4bps dial up modem (ROFL). My clan-based games have started with GRAW and have practically ended with COD: World at War (what a way to kill the gaming interests of all fps gamers!!! ). Been waiting primarily for Operation Flashpoint 2 since the beginning but have stumbled onto Arma2 in the meantime. As a former COD player, the open warfare IS significantly different and therefore I'm not at the skill level I'd like to be. I will reveal a 'slightly' embarrassing issue to you....ever since I was a boy I wanted to be in the military. Never made it for one reason or another but have loved to follow every aspect of it and these games are a great way to let out the military imagination with other people that have similar experiences or (even better) are former military officers. I have aspirations of joining a group where I feel literally at home, can chat, laugh, and have fun BUT enjoy a good intense tactical game too! Anyway.....I just spoke with both Zathrus and Athlon about the group and I must say I'm initially rather impressed. I've recently left a clan at which I've been a part of in its leadership for the last year due to a lack of European presence and other "clan" matters not needed to be discussed here (pull me aside if you're interested to know more). As a result, I've made a decision to leave the group in search of a more active group that has more people in my timezone and has a looser structure that I could accomodate my personal obligations around BUT still enjoy the more tactical side of the games too. I hope I've found that! Lastly, I'm new at these (open warfare) games so be patient. Some of you guys are very skilled. I will not be for a while so any tips/pointers will be taken positively and applied to my game. I'm a loyal person with much to offer in leadership and admining, too so I hope that in time, we both will feel we have found the perfect match. Looking forward to getting to know you all better!
