With an exciting 2009 closing with an epic ending, we look towards 2010 (2K X) to be another hot edition of Urgent Fury.

As announced we start 2010 out by welcoming BradyGames as our 2010 Prize sponsor for many of the events coming up. Each member of an Event Championship team will receive their choice of a strategy guide. This is an great honor to have BradyGames on board.

December closed out both UF Black and UF Chosin with a bang, first Clan Uprising takes home their 2nd TacMap Championship crown with the completion of UF Chosin on PS3′s Socom Confrontation. This is a back to back title as they also took home the Gold in UF Chain Reaciton.

In an epic closing to UF Black 2009 Lettin Punk Know took home the Black Championship after a gruling Four Hour and 20 Minute battle agains Clan Uprising. It has been a long time since we have seen a Socom Battle Take 42 rounds to decide the victor. It was exciting to watch by the staff and myself. Congrats to both Clan Uprising and Lettin Punks Know for your 2009 Victories.

Now on to 2010, in the coming days Commander Fury will announce the first of four qualifying events scheduled for 2010. This is a new approach here at UF and should make for an exciting year. Without going in to much details as of yet, there will be two qualifying events UF 141 for Modern Warfare 2 (both PS3 and XBox 360) and UF Black for Socom Confrontation (for PS3). 16 teams will battle it out in these events for a guaranteed entry into Urgent Fury’s 2010 Invitational TacMap Tournaments scheduled to start Late Summer ”10.

As we have heard from the community the qualifying events will not overlap but run back to back. This ensures that clans will not be stressed to the gills trying to compete in multiple events.

Now don’t worry there will be several smaller events scheduled throughout the year to keep everyone busy. Start getting your calendars ready, so that you can pick which Qualifying Event you want to get in. Remember only 16 teams will be granted entry into each event, and repeating entries will only be allowed if needed.

In this special podcast:

• Special interview with LPK’s Meauxpack and MikeJaxon from Uprising
• Holiday Greetings from all
• UF: 141 breaks ground
• Socom DLC
• Modern Warfare 2
• and more…

TX had their first loss and fell behind U and TNU who now hold seven territories each and hold the lead, but Wednesday TX will attack U for the first time. Will TX have what it takes to break the U winning streak? We will see.

Stay tuned to the forums for the War Reports to see what happens.

We are half way through week 2 and there is Chaos on the battlefields…

We have 2 clans out and one that has only one more chance to stay afloat this week.

But the real story is the Power House 3 way tie between Defending Champions Uprising, Threat Neutralizing Unit and Texas Clan Killaz. All three of these clans are now holding 6 territories and are not holding back.

We have several clans that are in critical condition with less than 3 territories. So stay tuned as next weeks matches will have a twist as some clans have earned an extra attack.

Urgent Fury’s latest TacMap, UF Chosin kicks off tonight with Team Players attack on Recognize: Hollow Heroes. Throughout the evening additional attacks include defening champions Uprising attacking Natural Selection, DontFukWit attacking Letting Punks Know and Devine Knights attacking BlungForce.

We have thrown in some twists into this TacMap by starting everyone out with a full cluster. So everyone has a chopper attack from day one. There are random Flank territories that can attack a cluster’s reservoir and some properties that are well fortified by the map location.
