Title: UAV or UFO - what's that in the sky?
Post by: Ranger on August 18, 2005, 01:39:32 PM
Just had a lunchtime disagreement with the rest of Team BIG...

I said that I am sure I saw the UAV - I noticed it when I was killed and was looking up at the sky; I saw a black dot flying over my position very high up...

Everyone else thinks I am fibbing - But I swear I have seen it, not once but several times now.

So - has anyone else seen the UAV or am I seeing a UFO?

 :unsure:

You lot are cruel - just you wait!

Time will prove me to be a man of vision!

 :dribble:

I am already making my tin-foil hat which I will now wear each time I play BF2 - so that EA Games cannot read my thoughts as the UAV goes over!

I'll show you.....Ramble, rant!

...I will have you know I stopped drinking Merrydown whe I was 15 (my mates always used to get me to go into the offy to buy a bottle between 7 of us!)...

 :P

You are all just jealous because I've seen it and you haven't!!!

I may have to start some sort of new cult, based on the big UAV in the sky.

I shall wear white robes and call myself 'The Great Sky Ranger' and you shall all bow dwn before me!

...Mmmmm-wwwuuuuuhhhhhaa-ha-haa...!!!!

Could of course be the black dot you put on your screen with a marker pen for cheating without the scope in CS...a la DarkAngel and JB.

So the idea is that we all get killed and watch the skies?

Merrydown

Used to get two litre glass bottles. I believe it was taken off sale because it was reclassified as a wine. Perhaps thats an urban myth, but the green label stuff did disappear (quite quickly as I recall hic.)

From which mental institute does he play?  :dummy:  :lmfao:

Edit: If you read the text of the BF2 book, it says that if you play to long it could cause something...My English isn't that good so I forgot the word. I might look it up when I'm back home.

Right - unbelievers - was talking about the whole UAV thing in another forum, and thankfully another - very enlightened - Dutch player came back with the following responce:

Quotewell then Ive got another 1. When UFO;s supposubly land in a field at night, they leave a circle, dunno what its caled in english cause im from the netherlands. well ive seen 1 of those circles in the games from a blackhawk! - 1PARA-Razgriz

While this doesn't actually confirm my sightings it does suggest that there are unexplained phenomina going on in BF2!

Sorry for digging up an old topic, but I suddenly remembered an incident that happened to me a few years back which I didn't pay that much attention to at the time, but in the light of Ranger's discoveries, I see the whole thing is connected in a wicked way...

It was during my vacation in Portugal in 2002 in a little town called Faro on the Algarve coast. My girlfriend and I had to sleep on the roof of a building because all the proper rooms was taken (don't worry, the roof was flat so we didn't fall off). It only cost us â,¬ 12, which is cheap enough if you like sleeping on a roof, I guess.
While laying there staring at the stars, enjoying the warm summernight, I suddenly saw a triangle shaped silhuette against the sky. I mean a really big triangle, big enough that it blocked the light from stars. At the time I just thought 'wow, that's a huge triangle' and fell asleep, but now, given Rangers... erhm... findings, I suspect that there was something more sinister about that triangle. The triangle may have been a prototype, but what if they decided to disguise it as something less conspicious, say a... UAV...?!?

Perhaps EA and Dice have come up with some sort of portal between our dimension and the pixel world known as Battlefield 2, thereby enabling the employees (or... army  :ph34r: ) of EA to infiltrate millions of computers worldwide? It would also explain the crop circles on Zatar Wetlands, although I don't know exactly why the UAV would leave precisely those marks...

Don't you see it, guys? Guys? Hello?!? Hey, come back!

an interstellar visitor comes to earth, and two things happen - the first humans they see are you two sleeping on a roof, and all you say is 'wow, that's a huge triangle' and fall asleep  :blink:

Well, actually I think I lay awake for at least 5 minutes before falling asleep. It'd been a tough day... ;) Besides, I didn't know if Portugal had a Mulder & Scully equivalent, let alone how to get to them in the middle of the night, so I just left it at that...  :)

And I don't think sleeping on the roof is the weirdest thing they (the aliens) would discover humans to be capable of...
