This isn't meant to be a shameless promotion, but it is no matter how I/we write it. I am motivated by a desire to get the word out to the great cooperative teamplayers in the PC gaming world who may not know about the =VG= community and how we run servers. Heck, half the Falon 4 flyer's come here and say, "In all these years, I didn't know people played this online!" Bones had me thinking about this "why" a few months back. What can I say? I'm a "fanboy", or man, as it be. This was something I was writing for my Steam profile page so's people could understand that, like many online PC game players, I wear clan tags - but for us at =VG=, it means so much more. I thought I'd copy it to a thread here, and us gamers could have a chance to pitch in as to why they also choose this community and these servers for their PC gaming time. For those of us who also play PvP PC games, why also do you choose to play COOP with us at =VG=? Please feel free to submit a testimonial, if you wish, as to why you play at VETERANS-GAMING and with players like this. Few can argue that this is something different, and unique; not just a clan, but a gaming community. A fair one, at that. Hell, I'm more interested in the posts here than on my own facebook, but then again, I'm a PC wargamer... I started playing with VETERANS-GAMING Clan almost a year ago because they focus on open, public servers specializing in many different Player vs. AI PC games. This immediately removed the nasty "smack-talking, base camping, and disproportionate skill-levels" that plague the Player vs. Player online wargame experience. A few games, and a few servers run PvP right; I don't knock that - I've probably logged many hours there. Simply put, in VETERANS-GAMING COOP servers, I get to focus on more of the different aspects that make up a particular game, be it a modern warfare game, or older era wargames, focusing on an AI enemy that is consistantly acting in a "military like" sense. For harder AI, I turn to ArmA 2 and it's AI mod's and addons - but I play against them with my =VG= brothers. Here you will find a very welcoming group of PC gamers who take the time, and patience, to include others; new players and veterans alike. When I think VETERANS-GAMING, I don't just think of real life military veterans, though we have many, but veterans of gaming. A great mix of people proficient in so many different multi-player online games, running so many online COOP servers - like I said, more than your standard "gaming clan". If I wasn't in =VG=, though, they'd welcome me the same, and I'd enjoy playing with them just the same. I'm proud to be part of such a group! !2cool
