My path to online gaming.

The first tournament site I was on was Socombattles.com (now gamebattles). That community was a pretty cool one (it’s now terrible lol), but it wasn’t quite what I was looking for or my clan was looking for. During Socom 2 I found a site called Socomzone.com. It had a real tight knit community filled with mostly honorable clans, but with Socom 2 most of the clans and the site dissolved. During that site’s downfall I heard from a friend in that community about this upcoming tournament site called “Urgent Fury.”

Really it’s a funny thing how I got into online gaming. When I was younger, all I did during hunting off-seasons was play hunting video games on the CPU. Sometime during the year 2000, I bought a title that offered an online multiplayer. To me it was the greatest thing since sliced bread and I sat there day in and day out. It was really fun talking to fellow hunters and networking through a video game. I’ve even hunted with some of the guys I met after hanging out with them in the online world. Eventually, this online experience led me to purchase a network adapter for my PS2 and I started playing online games via the PS2. For some reason I was instantly attracted to SOCOM and fell in love the first time I popped it in. My love for it grew and eventually I made my way into structured clan gaming.

During that site’s downfall I heard from a friend in that community about this upcoming tournament site called “Urgent Fury.” The clan I was with at the time of UF1 did not end up signing up, but I watched from the sidelines. I regularly trolled the forums and was always hanging around in UF clans rooms. I mostly hung around with Cp* and ReD at the time, because those were the only people I really knew. That soon changed however, as I got to know more and more of the community and found how great this community truly was, even at it’s early stages.

Eventually, the clan I was with through all of Socom 1 and 2 disbanded during the first month of Socom 3. I got with some old ReD Cell friends and formed a clan called ST2, of which I was the co-leader. We were accepted into UF2 shortly after and I must say, I had an absolute blast. We allied with APC and were about 2 months in when tragedy struck. Unfortunately, some inside the clan stuff went down and my clan leader ended up disbanding the clan and going completely MIA. As ST2 was no more, I was free to join any clan I chose and still participate in UF2. Being that in UF1 and UF2 you could actually war with your allied clan and we strategized together a lot, I knew APC as well as I did my own clan. It really was an easy decision for me to make and the rest was history. I’ve really enjoyed being a part of the community over the years and I can say without a doubt Urgent Fury is unrivaled in it’s community, integrity, honor, longevity, and atmosphere. There is no other tournament site that lives by honor and integrity like we do here at UF, which truly sets us apart from the others.
