"Im on snipes server" Probably set up for private servers, maybe over xlinkkai or whatever. I highly doubt the official servers will still be up considering almost every (if not every) online PS2 game has had their servers taken down.
edit: well apparently the game has a server list. Welp, guess you're just unlucky. PS2 online has always been pretty finicky though.
Can you connect online in any other games where the servers haven't gone down? Or even the connection test disk or whatever if that still works.
