the best and most intense match i have ever seen in this game was the VCCT2 Final ULK 9-8 VU.
Indeed, that final was probably one of the closest A/D matches I've ever witnessed. Although we lost that Semi-final, I remember it being quite close thanks mainly to Denlow and Avenger but VU took a deserved victory. Both the final teams were top notch but ULK were undefeated champions at the time. From what I remember, youself and Gudio joined VU for the sole purpose of wanting to beat ULK, and when ULK eventually won there was a lot of drama afterwards where I seem to remember you saying you were going to leave VCMP forever after losing that final.... lol
For myself, I think winning the XAD League is probably my sweetest memory. Partly because it was my first A/D title, but mainly for it being such an achievement to win against top quality opposition such as TRC (Morphine, MetaLord, etc), VU (Veteran, Eddy, etc), and of course the toughest being DnA (Gudio, Avenger, etc). There were also MK, TZ, and others. That EAF squad of myself, Kessu, Marcell, Rapture, Alarba, Brian, and Tony was probably EAF at it's peak.
Other than that I've had many great A/D matches over the many years. The EAD League was probably the longest tournament in VCMP history, and extremely controversial for all the wrong reasons. That being said it hosted some brilliant matches that will live long in the memory, for example the match against SWAT (the one of only two matches that team ever played). The victories in both EAD championship finals are also highlights, shoutout to Kody, Silent, Alarba, Krys, Blitz, and Gynla.
But Vice War 2, maybe because of nostalgia but its still my fav Vice War. It made me appreciate chaos. I was at the Junkyard and man the mayhem at that localized spot. For some reason I don't remember nades, but I do remember Sea Sparrow and RPG.
I think you're getting your memories mixed up mate. Vice War 2, although very chaotic, didn't have the Sea Sparrow. That was first introduced in Vice War 3. I agree though that the Junkyard being the only 1 of 2 bases made it increasingly hectic having around 30 players fighting within such a small space. My fondest memory of that scene being setting people on fire with a flame thrower.
With regards to Vice War though, a lot of them have their ups and downs. Havana Hazard and Lost in Liberty are probably my favorites. 1 was good but the script had bugs and the CP checkpoint didn't always work. 2 was good but there was some lag issue at the Movie Studio because someone decided to spawn six trucks all on top of each other which caused some desync fuckery to happen. 3 was good but felt a little too spaced out and lacked that chaotic feel, hence I managed to get 100 kills and 10 deaths. 4 was good at the beginning, but then it became boring quickly. HH was good because it kept my attention for most of the day and I felt the teams were a little more balanced than the previous two, as well as the money extortion feature. LIL was very entertaining as well with it's map and new boss feature.
Also shout out to IT clan, the weirdest bunch of misfits out there. Back then it was a lesser known clan, but nowadays it sounds too damn legendary. A clan comprising of Morphine, Marcell (Reaper), Stormeus, Zeke, Shadow/heekzs and me.. All fucking legends
How could you miss out Huntsman from that list?
