Tired of playing alone, of never knowing if your team has your back?

Spoiler alert: they probably don't.

Don't want to join a hardcore combat unit that expects you to play MWO for 40 hours a week?

Just looking for some new friends who won't look down on you and call you Noob?


Then the 201st Stryker Regiment is for YOU!


Someone once said, "You can train someone to be a good pilot, but you can't train them to be a good person." The 201st is a friendly, laid back group of mostly old school players, many of whom have been playing games from the BattleTech/MechWarrior universe for a long, long time. We play for fun, we play when we feel like it. But we do have one guiding rule which we hold above all else: NO DRAMA.


We are always looking to grow the ranks of our mercenary unit around a group of long time members, many of whom have been with the unit since early open beta and even before. We don't need any time commitment and don't have specific hours where you have to be available, though we do have a core group of experienced gamers who have the skills to hang with the big boys and are more than willing to share their knowledge. Our members are from all over the world, with the bulk coming from the US. We wish to expand our our player base as a whole, including EU players. Our primary language is English, we have a dedicated TeamSpeak3 server, and our most active time is from 11:00-22:00 PDT (18:00-05:00 GMT).

As stated before, we are a very laid back group of guys and girls. We do rib on each other, but there is always a line. We do have a few common sense kind of rules:

1) NO DRAMA (One way or another, it will be squashed immediately.)

2) Treat others as you would want to be treated.

3) Have fun! We should spend more time laughing than raging.



Now get on over to the 201st Stryker Regiment website and sign up.

[CW Update: We are not limiting ourselves to just Inner Sphere or Clan for Community Warfare. As of March 2015, we are alternating which side we are fighting for so that all of our members get a chance to use their favorite 'mechs at one point or another and to maximize the chance of getting all the CW achievement awards.]

And here's a clip of the 201st being the 201st (fair warning, this clip contains adult language, so put your big kid pants on before watching):

I joined the 201st 5 months ago and I have had a great time shredding mechs with the unit and learning how to be a better Mechwarrior pilot. If you want to have fun and drop with a team come check us out!

201st Strykers Rules of Engagement.

1) Don't Chase the Squirrel Without Complaining About The Rest Of The Team Doing It First
When a light mech pops up it's often everyone's first instinct to go running after it, hoping to get a quick and easy kill. Well, it's never quick or easy to catch a squirrel, and this usually leaves the entire team spread out and easy to pick off. So when this happens the only viable option is to join in with everyone on squirrel chasing! At least then everyone's together, like a family! We can't promote this kind of behavior, of course, so it's imperative that everyone complain about the pugs chasing the squirrel before we join in. Remember, it's a team effort out there, but we don't have to approve of it.

For those of you who don't know us, here is some wisdom from Major LoPahShui on how to be a good 201st member:

2) If You Aren't Sure Whom To Shoot, Shoot Blimie
Remember, the 201st has a long history of getting kills however we can. Whether this means the standard method of shooting an enemy until he explodes, ramming him with your stripped and out of ammo machine until he explodes or even overheating yourself until you explode, as long as someone dies you've done your duty of increasing salvage bonuses! In that regard, if you ever get confused in a game, or turned around, shoot Gunnery Sergeant Blimie. As our designated target drone it is Blimie's privilege and pleasure to absorb fire from his own team in order to give you the sense of satisfaction that comes with knowing that you damaged something.

Blimie, it's only natural. We've all seen the fortune-inducing capacity that firing upon your rear armour can have. Why, last month my grandmother had a terrible cold; I shot at you, and three days later her health was much improved. The evidence is undeniable.

The first time I read LoPan's Rules of Engagement, I got strange looks from my co-workers because I couldn't help but laugh. I still chuckle every time I read the one about chasing the squirrel.

Hehe yeah that was an good one black, but i also love the occasional "squirrel" in teamspeak, kinda reminds me of the movie Over the Hedge, the scene where the dog chases the handcart.

So if you're looking for a group of players who kill things good, are accepting, friendly and love to laugh, then the 201st is for you.
