  3. Sorry I missed this post that was made on my birthday of all days lol... To answer your yes we are still around, same team and staff in the background... We are currently working on Sniper Elite 5 for leagues. Starting to welcome crossplay within consoles and creating PC events seperately I agree, I would love to see what would happen if they did finally pull Socom from the ashes... Covid kept me pretty busy and really did not game much once the pandemic hit, we were heavily vested in America's Army when that happened preparing for the new one and then the administration pulled funding this year. Tell me more about what you have @iDnTyX82and is this the same as @iDnTyXif so we can help merge the accounts.

  9. As we move into building the tournaments and leagues for Sniper Elite, I wanted to create a post to gather different Bug and Exploit issues that will affect game play. One example is this one that came across my news feed today: https://www.aroged.com/2022/06/04/streamer-used-photo-mode-bug-in-sniper-elite-5-to-win-the-round/ This is a major exploit that we may not be able to prevent at all..

    Dust off your rifles!

    As a community we have been stale for many years because there has not been a game that felt like Socom for us to gravitate to. Honestly most of our original community members are now parents of graduates and even grandparents, can you believe how long we have all been playing together? While there is still no true replacement to Socom, for the last 2 weeks I have been playing Sniper Elite 5 multiplayer, and believe it or not... it is really fun. With my work schedule and how Covid affected us all, I have missed having a game that made me feel like this much less get me playing 4 to 8 hours. Even the other night I found myself doing the "Just One More Game!" As I wrote in my review article, the game is lacking in maps for sure, but the feeling I get playing especially with friends is so reminiscence of so many nights playing with clanmates and friends. I mean wholly smokes I played almost 30 hours last weekend alone. We are going to work on putting together some leagues, we understand that the map count is extremely low right now, but hopefully that changes pretty soon. We will focus on No Cross and Team Deathmatch, I really do not see us using Squad Mode for a tournament. I invite everyone to come join me when I am playing... we will start doing community nights on Saturday Nights live on Twitch as we start building the community base around the game. For all of our veteran members, go out and pick up the game. I hope it invokes the feeling for you guys like it does for me!
  12. After about 30 hours of game play we are pretty confident in adding Sniper Elite 5 to our portfolio! We have created a Ladder for Console and for PC for teams to play with. Stay tuned for upcoming announcements about Leagues and Events.

  15. Sniper Elite 5 is a breath of fresh air in the shooter world. This 3rd person shooter continues its WWII with large maps for campaign, multiplayer and a new invasion mode. I have spent the last couple of days playing some campaign and multiplayer matches, but what has really had me locked in is the new invasion mode. Basically when you are playing your campaign and you have not disabled the ability to be invaded, an opponent will drop into your campaign with the single goal of killing you and your teammate if you are playing coop. Both you and the invader will have enhanced skills added revolving around finding each other and it is quite balanced. Even during my stream you will find that as the invader you are not just dropping in to get an easy kill. You have to work for it for sure! You will start somewhere in the map, it may be right into the action or you might be halfway across the map. Either way you are going to have to do a little searching to find your target to take them out. I found that the best way to find your target is follow the trail of bodies. Once disadvantage I had was not having completed the campaign, I did not know the path progression on some of the maps, meaning the route the campaign would take the player. If you have completed the campaign, you will have an advantage because you will be able to anticipate the direction your target will be coming from. Now with that being said there are a few features to note, you cannot just pick a spot and camp. If you sit still too long you will get a warning that you are camping and if you do not move, your location will be reviled to your opponent. Through out the maps you will find phones that you can pick up and get your opponent's last location. Do not depend on this as a pinpoint, but more as a guide. It is not a fluid tracker, it is a point on the map with a timer showing the last time seen at that location. If your opponent is moving through the map quickly, you will find yourself chasing them with the phones which have a 4 minute cooldown. You can also use your fellow soldiers (NPCs) to help notify you when they have found the player. Each NPC has a status of not alerted, searching and alerted. Pay attention to the direction they are running or facing, this can indicate the direction to go to find your target. I will say when the alarm has been set off, unless there is a fire fight going on, you only benefit on finding the general area the opponent is in. Once you have finally tracked down your target, the same rules apply for all snipers, your scope will give you away! Close combat will get you a chance at melee or a good pistol shot to the head. If your opponents are playing coop, you have to eliminate both, but the second player only has a couple of minutes to find you before they loose the round. Finally do not take injuring your target as an easy follow up kill, you and your opponent are able to self heal and return to battle. If you are quick enough you can however run up on your target and get a satisfying melee as final action on your target. Now lets talk a bit about multiplayer, there are a few different modes to choose from including free for all, team match, squad match and no cross. To be honest I spent all of my time playing no cross in multiplayer to get a feel for the game at a slower pace. It truly a no cross map, there is no way to get to the other side physically if you try. While I can be a pretty good sniper, you have to be extremely strategic when you are looking for opponents. Using your scope will give up your location with a bright reflection that your opponent can see from space. So I spent most of the time using my binoculars to find my targets. Even better if you are marking your opponents, other shooters can kill them getting you the assist. My BIGGEST complaint for multiplayer is the lack of maps. In team match, squad match and free for all, you have 4 maps to choose from, but in no cross there are only 2 maps... come on Rebellion we need more maps, after a few hours, the no cross matches become very stale! With that out of the way, I am very happy to see a kind of lobby system for multiplayer. You cannot edit the title of the room it is based on your gamer id, but you can create private or public matches and you can even provide invite codes to get everyone in the right match together for competitive play. The customization for game rules is almost endless with the exception of the lack of turning off respawn. it has already been suggested to the dev team to add that as an option. But there is a wide variety of presets as well as the ability to completely customize your match. We are defiantly going to start working on some tournaments for this game very soon and look forward to seeing what we can do with this game, stay tuned! View full article

All matches will be streamed live on the Urgent Fury Twitch Channel. We will offer a Double Round Robin Format with each Franchise Hosting the Best of 5 Matches when they are the home team. Applications to claim a franchise will be posted soon and as we mentioned we have a limited amount available. We will fill Division I first before we open Division II to fill it. There will not be a Franchise Fee as this is covered by individual registrations. All players must be in the United States and will have to verify their address when they register for the league for $25. Prizing will be based on 80% of entry fees going to the winners based on the following: If there is only 1 Division, 3 franchises will be eligible for winnings: 6 teams will play a double round robin for 6 weeks (schedule will allow for breaks during holiday weekends). Upon completion, teams will be placed in a double elimination bracket and the top 3 teams will receive a portion of the winnings. 1st Team prize $750 2nd Team prize $300 3rd Team prize $150 If there are 2 divisions, 4 Franchises will be eligible for winnings: Each Division will play a double round robin for 6 weeks (schedule will allow for breaks during holiday weekends).

No, if you do not have a Clan Name we will provide a Team Name and Logo for you. Can I use my Clan Name? No, since this is a franchise model, we have created teams, logos and other artwork around this Why are you charging each player on the roster a fee? There are multiple reasons for this, part of it will be verification, the other part is a commitment to the league that you are going to invest in the league. What will happen if I dispute the charge for the league? You will be permanently banned from competing in Urgent Fury, you also risk your team’s removal as well. What times will the matches be held? Match 1 will be at 6 pm central, Match 2 will be at 7:30 pm central and Match 3 will be at 9 pm central. Division I will be on Saturdays and Division 2 will be on Sundays.

Yes, you can stream your matches only if you are able to add a 10-minute delay to your stream to protect against compromising your game play. We will add additional questions to the FAQ as we need to.
  19. With the upcoming announcement we want to know what you think the team size should be we are going to give you a few options.
  20. The videos do look pretty good, I have requested to join their facebook group
  21. We have officially signed our contract for development of our new eSports Platform. It will be integrated with the site for the most part and will offer some pretty nice features. We will release more info soon. Estimated development time is 8 to 12 weeks. This decision to go with our own system has not been taken lightly and is one of the largest investments we have made for Urgent Fury. We are not purchasing an out of the box system like we have tried in the past and believe us when we say we are investing in a long term partnership with the development firm. Our initial term 16 months of development of support with an open ended support contract following that. This will ensure our preparation for the launch of some upcoming titles as well as integration directly into many titles in the future. We have already brought on a new Sales Director, a long time friend to begin working on sponsorship packages for new cash prize tournaments as well. Stay tuned as we prepare to provide more information along the development cycle. Please reply to this post with any additional questions or comments.
  22. Well ladies and gents, I will say that the end of 2019 and the beginning of 2020 has by far been the roughest as you can imagine for many of us... Personally I have lost my mother unexpectedly right after Christmas, I got a promotion at work that has changed my job duties like crazy and now we have this whole COVID-19 mess going on. COVID-19 First off as a Red Cross Instructor, please follow these recommendations to help keep you safe from COVID-19 https://www.redcross.org/about-us/news-and-events/news/2020/coronavirus-safety-and-readiness-tips-for-you.html We of course want to let you know we care about your safety and encourage you to be safe out there... What you may not know Urgent Fury launched http://www.learn2savea.life last year. We are doing quite well teaching First Aid, CPR, AED and Basic Life Support Classes all over Texas. With that being said we are going to continue teaching our classes and we are following our directives from the American Red Cross to ensure a safe and fun environment for all of our students. AAPG Season 4 We are finally through all of the trials, errors and tribulations to get this going. We will kick of Season 4 Live on Twitch http://www.twitch.tv/urgentfury on Sunday March 22nd, 2020 at 9pm cst with 10 teams. Tournament Staff Applications are now open Its no secret that I have been very overwhelmed with all that is going on lately. So we are now taking applications for a couple of staff members that are willing to volunteer some time towards assisting with managing our tournaments. We really want serious inquiries, and you will see in the application that we have several questions that require a thought out response, please fill this out completely if you want to join our team. Go to https://www.urgentfury.com/forms/14-tournament-staff-application/ to apply.
  23. Good to see you still strong, we hear this from many of the clans from the good 'ol days
  24. Here at Urgent Fury we take our Motto very seriously. Even more so we take honesty and integrity very seriously. Season 3 of Boot Camp has been riddled with controversy and accusations of Pro Tribe using players from outside of North America. Several participating clans brought this information to us but were not able to provide more than circumstantial evidence of conversations and basically people trolling. With that being said we were not able to act on the issue at the time. After the completion of the season we made our move to finalize the investigation with having the two final teams register their rosters on the website. Upon this we found that Pro Tribe tried to hide the identity and location of one of their players. However through our systems we were able to without a doubt substantiate that a player was indeed not located in North America. Based on these findings we have no other choice than strip Pro Tribe of their Season 3 Championship title and remove them from future play in Urgent Fury until December 31st, 2020. Now had clan leadership owned up to this earlier the penalties would not have been as severe. Please take note of this, honesty goes a long way. Even more so instead of trying to cheat just simply following the rules from the get go will always be the right way to go. Good luck in your future ventures. As we announced going forward all players in Urgent Fury will be required to register on both Urgent Fury and Toornament. Soon we will also require all players to validate their PSN. Urgent Fury Administration
  25. We have been silent for the last few weeks as we have been bombarded by speculation about ineligible players in Season 3... The problem is we cannot prove anything at this point and by proof I don't mean someone saying they are somebody in a discord just to troll everyone... the integrity of Urgent Fury has now been threatened to the point that we have Season 4 on hold. We are currently working to get API access with PlayStation so that all and I mean ALL players will have to authenticate their account with their PSN on the UF website. While we wait for this process, moving forward and leading up to the open of Season 4 registration, all users will have to do the following steps: Register an account on UF http://www.urgentfury.com/register Once you have completed your reservation, you will go to https://www.urgentfury.com/settings/ and follow these steps: Click on Edit Profile and scroll down to Profile Information and enter your PSN Go to https://www.urgentfury.com/settings/login/?service=13 and create and connect a Toornament Account If you have a discord account go to https://www.urgentfury.com/settings/login/?service=16 and connect your Discord Account The fact that we are in this position just proves further that we have to restructure how we handle our online events even more. Our community is built around Honor and Dignity. That is on both sides of the fence, winning or losing we expect everyone to follow our motto. We have received several complaints, accusations, screen shots of conversations with no concrete evidence. At this point the whole community is now up in arms and trolling each other to the point of tearing it apart. In addition to this we require all Members of Pro and 2FNRaw from the current roster follow this process within the next 7 days. If this is not completed the results from Season 3 will be nullified. Our users privacy is one of our most important priorities so any concerns by registering on the site can be set aside. To be an active player in our tournaments going forward will require that you register on Urgent Fury and Toornament going forward.
