Modern Warfare 2 Special Ops - Hidden Veteran : Sniper Locations Walkthrough
Here is a walkthrough to the sniper locations on the Modern Warfare 2 Spec Ops 'Hidden' mission on Veteran. This missions is devilish on Veteran.
1: After taking out the last 2 guys at the start, quickly get to position 1, if you're fast enough you'll see the first sniper still walking to the marked position.
2: Now edge to the right a little and you'll see sniper 2 on the little hill about 70m away. He usually manages to shoot me first THEN lays down in the grass. You should still be able to see him, so take him down.
3: Edge around right and aim your sights at the BMP. As you edge around, you'll see the front of the BMP come into your sights - the 3rd guy can usually be hit by firing over the top of the very front of the BMP (use the BMP's front headlight as guide - when u see this the sniper is right behind it)
This second part seemed tough at first - but with this guide you'll make it through every time.
1: 1 is real easy - just get into this position as fast as you can and wait a second or two. You'll soon see the first sniper as he crawls to the edge of the little hill.
2: There are two good options for taking out sniper 2. First option is to peer over the two BMP's - you'll probably take a hit, so swap to your silenced SMG (that i hope u picked up at the start) and stand back up again a spray the grass. Second option is to peek around the back of the BMPS as shown - but this takes a bit of patience because the sniper takes a while to crawl into view.
3: You can take down snipers three and four from either of these two positions - looking over the BMPs. I tend to use my SMG as the one of the snipers is just over the BMPs and very close.
4: the last sniper is behind a BMP, I tend to rush him - he'll get a shot off but then lay down in the grass. So i rush him and gun him down with my SMG.
Tips for next section.
After this field is cleared, you can move down to the other side, over the pipe and get into position to take out the three man patrol on the road. Take out the last, middle then first guy.
Next, go over the road, and take out the sniper in the church tower - he poses no threat from here so you don't have to 'creep' into position.
Next, take out the three guys talking in the graveyard. Don't worry if you set off 'alerts' because as long as you take the guys out in the immediate vicinity, the alert stops.
Wait in the church until one guy enters - slot him. You can then snipe from the church tower OR through the church windows. I always set off alarms here, but this actually helps - the gunmen will run into the church to get you, all you have to do is take cover in the doorway you entered through and take em out as they try and rush the church. about 6 kills will end the alarm.
Next: make you way over to the other set of buildings. One guy will come out of the barn on the left. Kill him straight away THEN RUN BACK TO THE CHURCH. about 6 more guys will rush you from the barns, but take em out with your sniper or SMG as they cross the open ground from the barns. Make sure that some don't flank through the building opposite the church. If they do, head back to the back door (for cover and escape route) and take em out one by one as they rush the church, like before.
Once the alarm stops, you're free to run to the last set of buildings. I enter the house on the right, not the barn.
This bit is the hardest sniper bit for me, as they are hard to spot.
1: Stand up and creep VERY SLOWLY to the right as you look through the window. (Stand about centre of the room) The first guy is to the right of a big tree trunk (green circle on map). I've noticed he tends to pop out from the left. BE PREPARED AT ALL TIMES TO DUCK BACK LEFT AND INTO COVER WHEN U GET SHOT. You WILL get shot by each sniper here - but you can take one shot easy, just play it slow and safe and let your health regen.
2 AND 3: I found two and three to be very close (in terms of angle of sight) to each other. 2 is to the left of the big tree trunk and pretty close to you. 3 is a bit further left but about 50m away - near the objective marker (on the right side of the objective marker btw).
4: I'm not 100% sure of 4s location. but he's approx to the left of the outhouse building. But take it slow - cuz I've seen him just to the left of where no 3 sniper was. (ie to the left of the objective marker) It's just a case of peering through the window, moving slowly left to right one step at a time. If you can't see him through the window - head out and look round the corner of the house SLOWLY!
5: Last guy, you have to go out the building here to get the angle shown on the map. He's pretty easy to spot so take him down and you're free run to a glorious finish

You know it's a cold morning when....
..the de-icer freezes when you spray it on your windscreen!
I mean, wow, soooo cold this morning. My car doors were frozen shut. My breath was turning to ice on the inside of the windscreen and it took about an hour to get the heaters to defrost!
Then on the radio they had a news story about how great it is to work at the South Pole! Apparently they're screaming out for plumbers etc!
Well, I'm screaming out for a pair of gloves!
Come on be serious. British people CANNOT cope with -3°c and 6inches of snow, let alone -40°c, 2000+m of ice and the occasional iceberg!
I know the credit crunch has hit me and my family, and my Wife said she'd go to the ends of the Earth to find work - but this is ridiculous! :p

Quitting beer and getting my mojo back...
Mmmm beer....as Homer might say.
And I'd be one to join him. Well I would have been up til today.
That's right folks! I'm quitting beer!
I've not gone much longer than a week without at least a pint or two for about a decade - and it's starting to show.
Here I am, prime of my life, but I feel like a 50 year old.
Now this is mainly down to the beer, but it's also down to the total absence of exercise (is Xbox exercise?).
I mean, I'm not FAT - but I'm not at all in shape. And that gets me down.
After new years, I stopped for a month (although I only did about 10 days) and felt awesome! So, here goes, I pledge that I will be beer free until the start of summer!
It's a way off, but I need to do something to get back in shape. So treadmill and rowing machine replaces pint glass and Walker's packet.
I'll post up how I'm getting along.....

Free Flash templates
Ok, so I'm looking to get my portfolio website up and running. I want an all singing, all dancing flash-based site but don't want to be bogged down in code. I just want to concentrate on the look and feel of it - not the mechanics that make it work.
So, I've been scouting around for some good free flash templates and have been, on the whole, disappointed in the design quality of most.
I guess that's my fault for not being willing to work it out for myself, or for not being willing to pay anything for it.
But then I found this site: AIRTIGHT Viewers and was impressed with the templates on offer.
I could easily use any one of these 'gallery' focused templates to power my portfolio - and all I need to do now is to add in the rest of the page in Dreamweaver (which should be a doddle). And I can't wait to get started!
'Flash! Ah-Aaaaaahhh. King of the impossible!

Stoke City's players must have very sore feet...
It's past 5 o'clock on a Saturday evening and yet again I'm fuming over the on-field antics of Stoke City's so called 'players'.
Another red card and more points thrown away. All because we can't keep our heads!
Against Man U - Wilkinson saw red and we threw away a point.
At West Ham - Fuller was a f@£king idiot for slapping Griffin to get another dismissal which lost us points too!
Just when you thought it had all been dealt with, and all players been given a talking to about temper tantrums - Delap loses his noggin and belts Shaun Wright Phillips! (he DID deserve it though, the prick). OK, we went on to win, but we have no Delap for another 2 matches.
NOW TODAY - Etherington gets a red for lashing out like a bloody idiot and we lose more points!!! Diao had previously gotten a yellow for petulantly not retreating the full 10 yards for a free kick too!
FFS Pulis - sort out discipline at Stoke City as it's beyond a joke! And it WILL be the reason we'll be playing Championship football again next season.
How many times can one team shoot themselves in the foot? With all the injuries we keep getting too, there'll not be a good foot between us!

Aliens Colonial Marine...
It's been an age since I've seen much info on SEGA's Aliens Colonial Marine.
I saw a few previews in OXM magazine last year, but not much since then. And if the official website is anything to go by, we're not about to be hearing much soon either (it's not been updated with anything of value for ages) http://www2.sega.com/aliens//
But how can this be?
As child of the 80s and a HU HU HUUUGE ALIENS fan (I own a replica Pulse Rifle :) this is THE game I've been waiting for. You get to go aboard the Sulaco FTW! Next gen graphics, online co-op and multiplayer, seige-style gameplay and all being overseen by the original art director and prop designer of the ALIENS film!
Anyway, go check out the forums on the link above to find out more!
'Game over, man. Game over!'

Snow, Photoshop and the joys of long weekends...
I live 20mins from work, but thanks to the snow here in the Midlands it took 1.5 hours to get in this morning!
Never mind really, cuz I just listened to Chris Moyles on Radio 1 for longer than I am usually able too.
That, and the fact that I was warm and cosey in my Polo, whilst all about me people were attempting to scramble to bus stops or walk their annoying dogs.
So due to being late in today, I've had to work my lunch and couldn't get on to an advanced photoshop tutorial I wanted to do (mainly cuz it involved a naked lady!).
But but but...I've got a long weekend coming after today and shall therefore be working on photoshop all weekend....actually, considering that's what I do for a living, I might as well turn up at work!
