Okay, so while I was showering this morning (I try to do it once a year), I got myself an idea that gave me chills.
It would be the coolest thing ever if you could convince everyone on a server to all group together and take a screenshot. Trick is, I mean everyone. On both sides, everyone meets in an area, and someone takes a screenshot. And I'm not talking one of those "arranged" deals, like on a stunt server or something.
I'm talking about going onto a random server where there is fighting going on, and convincing everyone (on both sides) to gather in one area to take a Christmas picture.
Just the sheer self-dicipline and morality it would take to not exploit the situation (i.e. filling the area with C4), and to trust someone from the opposite team to not shoot you, is enormous; but, being the humanitarian person that I am, I believe it can be done. Of course, once the picture was taken, they'd just go back to shooting each other and it would be a bloodbath.
But imagine it; MEC and USMC soldiers lined up side by side, front row laying prone, second row crouching, and third row standing. Maybe some helicopters landed in the background. It would show a human side to a war game. It would show that players are actually compassionate human beings, rather than stat obsessed monsters.
If someone could do that, and post the picture here; I think that would be greatest gift we could give to the totalbf2 community.
Side note: so why am I not doing this myself? Because, sadly, I don't have a computer or the Internet that can run BF2. Once a month, I get to go over to my friend's house and play a few hours of glorious BF2, but that's the only access I get. So I leave this challenge in the capable hands of my friend's here at totalbf2 (the best BF2 community on the web, I've checked).
