Allright I'll be expecting a good war friday vs RVN then

I have a very boring CO-OP job lol

Yeah but, at the end of the day you still shred that shiny paper and unravel that pretty curled bow, to get at whats inside. In this case when you open the present you give a quirky little smile and say thank you, because it's the thought that counts; then you toss that un-thoughtful, un-inspired present to the back of the closet, never to be seen again with all the crappy wool sweaters your grandma made you. This has been one of the most entertaining threads I have seen in a long time, so many funny things here and I am not referring to the bad grammar; that is just to easy. Kudo's to the Travolta Band wagon, King Junks Indiference Image, and Tow's business meeting request book at the amazon.com link, classic.

Disapointing to say the least, since we were new here, I was looking for ward to playing against the creators for a long time, but thats how it goes. Good stuff with the Site, Thanks for making this place a safe haven for legit clans. The new owners will be lucky to control a community site with so many awesome people

We run a respawn before every war... We know the maps, we know the strategy, so we throw on FF DG or Xroads and Respawn for a 50 kills or so, maybe 4 rounds. Get a really good warm up in, that way you shake off any rust from not play in a couple days or so. We also never have any structured meetings or practices, (We used to have a structured regroup before a warm up room, which was a practice for that nights war when we played in combine assault but not so much anymore)

Hey UF, Our old Clan Site will be changing soon (Teamplayerssocom.com) to: http://www.teamplayersclan.com/ as of right now its just as splash page but the old one is up and running along with the forums, but, we have officially began to use our new forums: http://www.teamplayersclan.com/forums/ All the credit for very nice face lift our site has gotten goes to [>*T] HAWK (and some of his friends?) Feel free to drop by, request a war, chat it up, take a look around, try to beat some High scores in the Arcade Happy fighting and Thanks for all the fun wars

Welcome to UF and enjoy your stay.

I don't necessarily want that' date=' as i think Sony's underfunding and mismanagement has at least as much culpability as /6, but i think that it's clear that the team needs a new sense of direction and that perhaps a new general (do canadians have generals? a new mounty?) is needed in the /6 army. [/quote'] Yes, Canada has a General. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_(Canada) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RCMP Now you Know, and Knowing is half the battle.

In May 2009 Bethesda announced that the existing DLC (Operation: Anchorage, The Pitt and Broken Steel) would be made available for the Sony PlayStation 3; along with two new pieces of DLC (Point Lookout and Mothership Zeta) for all platforms.[55] There will be a Game of The Year edition of Fallout 3 which includes the full game and the complete set of all five DLCs. It is expected to be released in the U.S. sometime in October; however an exact release date has yet to be announced by Bethesda.

Yes, somehow they got around what ever microsoft was doing to block content for PS3. G4 Tech TV announced there will be Downloadable content comming out and the Ps3 will actually be included in the release. Wikipedia says there are 2 packages comming out, one in june and one un july. ^^ Hope its good.

Yes Socom is still socom, First Argument: Socom wouldn't be socom if people didn't bitch about it. Yes people even bitched about everyone’s favourite game, socom 2 (hard to believe now). Second Argument: When people say, this game (any shooter) just isn't socom, it’s because the experience is fun for a while yeah, but there isn’t that tactical edge, we find in Socom (which all instalments delivered) The map set ups, Third Person is Key to the fell of the game; it is arguably the most important feature. Third Argument: Fast paced exciting action is awesome I liked COD (which also had tons of issues, i.e. joining parties), but it gets old, when 99% of the time you spawn and toss 4 nades and die. Where is the strategy in holding down the trigger and tossing nades 1000 times? There’s a reason respawn in played by newbs in socom, because you learn to get better so you don't sit and watch people play for 5 minutes. None of the FPS can hold your entertainment long enough not to have respawn. You can't set up a strategy since the guy you just killed knows where you are, which is why using skype, aim, whatever is cheating. Fourth argument why socom is still socom: Every instalment of socom, and I repeat EVERY one of the games had, lag, glitches and was arguable incomplete. The only difference between zipper and slant six, is they actually inform the community and put out patches. Which zipper rarely to never did unless they wanted to make $6 bucks a map pack. I am not gonna bring up all the improvements over the old games, you should pop socom 1, 2, 3/CA into your PS3 and check for yourself. Every instalment of socom improved in some way. But its true, no game on the market is giving you the Socom experience (except Confrontation). Your friends in the game are a big part of it, but it is the strategy, the competitiveness, you know that your skill earned you a kill and not a mash of trigger happy grenade tossing randomness. Until a non respawn TPS comes out that can actually give you the Real socom experience, the real fans of socom will continue to come back. You don't quit socomcrack, you only take breaks. That's my argument to why socom is still socom.

Same here.

Hey I am currently taking Intro to Information Systems and the text book gave a bunch of sites that offer free solutions and preventetive software for trojans. http://www.moosoft.com (Trojan Detector) http://www.widers.org (Trojan First Aid Kit) http://www.lavasoftUSA.com (Trojan Blocker) Ad-Aware and PestPatrol http://www.spychecker.com (lets you check if software contains a trojan) also, there are a lot of sites you visit that keep track of all the sites you visit, and sells that information to the third party companies (apprently one the biggest is a company called DoubleClick), through cookie instalation. There is a program called CookieCop 2 you can get that would signal you when a web site tries to install a cookie and would ask if its ok. Also if you dont any information being collected about you while surfing the web, you can get anonymous Web brousing (AWB) software from http://www.anonymizer.com which routes your traffic through an outside server. if you dont want to go through an outside server, you can use SurfSecret software from http://www.surfsecret.com (it does more than just hide your identity as well) thought that was all pretty interesting, actually learning something from these text books I can use. heh

Hello Everyone, Someone in our clan had a pretty good idea, IMO. For lazer tag night in UF Black: I was told lazers didnt really make an impact, but their idea was to have it on Night maps. Which would make all the difference. Just tossing it out there (even though I hate night maps).

I Definately read the rules, but the auto assigned numbers answers my question in some tourneys just because your allowed to have 16 doesn't mean you will, most people when they chose numbers put as little as they could =/ But I like the UF system that switches it up. Thank you for all the fast responses. ^^

The last tac map tourney we entred into (not UF) was 8-16 but the mojority of clans kept their numbers 11 or below. I think we were the only clan to have 16 on every territory we owned. Thanks Chilli, Looking forward to the next UF tourney

I believe the tac map tourneys have large numbers? (is the max 16?) and is there a core group of clans that do try to have higher numbers for their wars? Is there any UF tournaments that are primarily large numbers? 14+ or 13+ just curious.

#9 and #10 for me

There’s a time to rush and there’s a time to camp. You can only camp if you can depend on the guy watching your back, and you can only rush if the guy next to can back you up. I've played just about every ladder, league, and tournament type since the birth of socom and I can tell you right now, if you go into war thinking I am going to rush every round or I am going to camp the shit out this map then your going to lose to a smart clan everytime. The second you become predicable, you are dead in the water. Good Clans Adapt to the situation. We don't often hear shit talking our way since we don't usually face clans with low moral integrity, so I haven’t been told what Team's Style is, We play every war differently and often change tactics, by the round. I'd like to think we have a good mix, but I laugh at clans who bitch about camping (which I think is another, (annoying) tactic) Clans who complain about things are just trying to get you to do what they want so they can get a win, It a desperate move from clans that can't do anything but rush, and when it doesn't work for them, well you camped a little much I personally am a rusher, but if the situation calls for it give me a bag of marshmallows. Take their bitching as a compliment and know that your doing something right to get them off their game. PS: The UF talent pool is far from lacking, since we play just about everywhere.

Our clan has a tentative policy that we will not go over the game limit for a clan roster, we are never recruiting but always welcome a good fit. We have an organized council that takes care of a lot, but Our Leader has the last say in any matter, we just support and provide feed back. I agree that the first step to a good clan is leadership. As for inactivity, we keep an "in-active" roster so when people are ready to return from their lives they can. I have run my own clan since Socom 1, and this is the 2nd clan I have been in that I did not run the show. The other clan I was in that I did not lead was M3 Elite Mercenaries, and that leader is also now in Team Players. There are people in this clan I have played with for 8 years, I grew up with them, I have seen marriages, businesses succeed, children born, you name it. -Not too shabby for a couple hours of free time gaming here and there. This is why I can play an incomplete game and love it, it is about who you play with, not what you play that makes the game fun. Personally, I feel that the success of a clan is dependent on every member and it all begins with the recruiting process. If all the members you let in have the same great qualities then you could essentially have a limit less roster ands till succeed, although these people are tough to find they seem to keep showing up at our door step, usually from clans that we played before liking what they saw. Lead by example.

Patience is a virtue, I am just happy they are going to put this out soon.

Team Players is a family, and we all do our part to make our clan successful, whether that includes being in wars or not. EACH member has to PROVE they should be in wars, and it often takes a while for new members to get their chance. Thank you and Best of Luck!!

I was watchign XPlay again last night and bethesda Softwaorks have announced they are making a new Fallout game. Fallout New Vegas, It won't be a direct sequal but another game set in the same universe. Since I am at work I can not post any useful links, but from what I can see its set to release sometime next year, this just pushed its way to my #1 most anticpated game ^^

To the UF community, I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone that supported us in our application to join Urgent Fury. We are excited to be apart of the community and looking forward to warring with the UF clans while upholding the integrity of what that means. We are now proud to call ourselves a UF clan and to continually prove that we belong in this heralded tournament community. Thank you. -[>*T] High_Timessw , Team Players.

Now that I am at home, here is the trailer. although X play's videos showed cooler stuff.
