Crossfire

[old.ignus]

Does anyone else watch crossfire on channel 4. Its a little cheesy but it'd be great to have a go at it. But does anyone else think its a little unfair as the team never seem to complete the mission, maybe its coz they're all shit.

Also wouldn't it make a great show if they combined it with masters of combat on BBC 2, a gunfight followed by a punchup.

hell yeah, some of their antics made me think it was a set-up for them to lose or something... people with a little FPS experience would definitely be better for the show, i think...

 

[PR.]

But surely the most irritating thing is that its been removed til spring ffs :uhoh:

 

[old.ignus]

I know its only a small team, but perhaps they'd benifit from splitting up into two teams to find the best possible route to the target.

 

[DAN200]

tho the shows a good laugh, it does seem a bit scripted, like when the people get shot too much, they must have some producer or something telling them to pretend to fall over and die down a little radio headset.

Is that the painball thing? Would mind seeing that now that I'm a painball Commando (ie. been once) but not on till Spring, you say?

*wait*

 

[old.ignus]

I tell you what, we should all apply as a team. Us CS veterans would kick ass.
And I don't know about you but if one of my team mates got emulsified next to me I'd grab their gun and go on an owning spree.

 

[DAN200]

then have some guy from upstairs shouting "Hey, you got shot 5 minutes ago, fall over and die ffs!" in to ya earphone.

 

[old.Jas]

Oh yes - they have bad boy paintball guns.

An Arnie-stylie, gun in each hand, firing from the hip, frenzied killing spree would be wicked.

 

[Summo]

But then eveyone else would shout "ADMIN!" "FFS!" "CHE4T0R!" etc

 

[DAN200]

I dunno, maybe we could all order specially modified wallhack eyeballs that let us see through concrete.. , then cover the grunts with red paint and we'd have ourselves an aimbot!

LOL.

Theres always one. I was once told about a game of paintball that included an American team, they cheated in the obvious get the paint off the jacket kinda way.

You forgot people like us moaning about differece in ping time. Don't ask me how but I'm sure we'd find a way.

 

[Moving Target]

Pfft. I could win the show on my own in extreme.

 

[old.knightoftheskY]

the people on today were especially bad....but paintball rocks if you have ever done it, damned expensive but damned fun.
The 'Special Forces' are bloody shite, its completely writen out beforehand i bet, where do the cameras go etc, but its cool to watch, Ed Hall is a funny guy....most of the time.....

The reson the show was stopped (got this via email)


Thanks for signing up for the X-Fire mobile phone SMS game. Unfortunately we.ve got some good news and some bad news for you.

Traditionally first Bad News: X-Fire on hold till Spring!

Sadly, we regret to announce that with the on-going conflict in Afghanistan we feel that this is not the best time for you enjoy the X-Fire series and game. So the show transmitted tonight (Oct 23rd, 7pm) will be the last one of this current run. We hope to bring the show and game back next year. When we do, you'll be the first to know!

 

[bigbb]

Awww :/ Spank u for the update SAS. Hopefully it'll come back sooner than later.

 

[old.Kez]

Surely it was pretty obvious why they stopped it? :/

 

[Cod]

:| But they showed James Bond the other night?

The whole america thing is bad and everything but i know for one i wouldn't be offended by it. Just a shame to keep it on hold till spring..

Shut up Geek.

Paintball is real life. Wallhacks and Zbots aren't. Please learn to tell the difference.

 

[Nozzer]

Paintball is great, yes, X-Fire is just a bit of a giggle though.

Heh. Since when is paintball 'real life'? Unless maybe I combined it with my normal working day.

Hmm... thinks...
