The first time you roll out in mass with BWC in a large op the sight is awesome and inspiring something you won't soon forget.

[ArchibaldWheeler]

My favorite moment in game was when the enemy tried to Max Crash a Ranger squad... the end result for their petulance was complete and utterly annihilation.

My most memorable moment with BWC:

The most memorable moment for me has been a TYPE of moment. It is the reviews after an operation, where we all go into a Teamspeak channel and talk about the operation that just happened. Just like in chess, the biggest amount of learning seems to come from evaluating the game afterward. This amount of learning and the fun of talking with teammates afterwards makes BWC a unique experience for me.

Your most memorable moment with BWC.

One of the more memorable experiences within BWC so far was a recent operation conducted in MWO. The mission consisted of two teams. RED team would be attacking Blue team, and trying to kidnap a predetermined “VIP” mech. BLUE team’s job was to repel the RED team, and escort the “VIP” to a predetermined location. At the end of a match, we would rotate teams and have opportunities at both attack/defend.

With an experienced BWC officer running our team, it was a wonderful experience watching our team effectively split-up, attack, flank, and ultimately defeat the opposing force in record time. All while leaving the VIP mech unharmed (except when we shot off one leg to keep him put). This is something which would never have been achieved with a random group of 8 people, using the group chat. That one mission was a perfect example of combining proper communication, map intel, mech strengths/weaknesses and teamwork to complete our objectives. And it was taking place all around me. It felt like I was part of a machine, executing it’s task with utmost efficiency. A glorious victory.

Another recent memory is in War Thunder. Our BWC team consisted of 4 members. 2 chose to run their bomber planes, while the other 2 flew fighter planes as escorts. Our wing leader chose a target, and an approach. Right there! 99% of the time, that level of respect, and frankly good tactics are hard to find. At BWC we game as a unit. You want earn experience on your bomber plane? Okay, I will fly escort for you. During the mission we managed to single-handedly (by single, I mean our 4-person BWC team) take-out the enemy’s base before they knew what hit them. Out of the 20-30 “Blue Team” players in that match, the 4 BWC folks won the game using teamwork and tactics. Beautiful.

What I've learned and the friendships I've made, far outweighs any video game. As a part of BWC, it feels like I’m the tip of a massive spear, with hundreds of my fellow BWC members at my back. Their hands on my shoulder, letting me know they will be there, just as I will be there for them. Together, there’s nothing we can’t achieve.

One Team! One Fight!

Most memorable moment?

Well, there isn't one, really. There are many memorable moments. Snatching victory from the hands of defeat; those games were unit cohesion and comms are so good it just feels awesome; those many moments spent in TS3 during lifestreams or other events. I probably average multiple memorable moments a week!

Most memorable moment with BWC:

Its kinda funny but the most memorable moment to me is not from any particular game but from how BWC is run. Basically the dedication and drive of the leaders of BWC just always sticks out to me. They help make the outfit run smoothly and provide a great atmosphere. To me it is was sets BWC apart.

[SpawnoChaos]

My most memorable moment dropping with the BWC in MWO was during a weekly event that the BWC was running internally to get the other game divisions within the BWC to check out MWO.

I was piloting my Dragon when a stalker zipped around my 9 o'clock and tried to hit my battle buddy in the rear armor. I did a quick reflex action... just a jerk of my hand to target the stalker... and I alpha struck him just below the arm armor but in between the plates of the chest. I must have hit it perfectly and detonated an ammo magazine because in a single shot, the whole mech went up in smoke.

I spent the rest of the time on the enemies flank, pouring fire into them. WIth the loss of their strike leader, we overtook them.

It was a great moment and one that I'll not soon forget.

Your most memorable moment with BWC.

My most memorable moment with BWC was my very first PS2 Op.
Luck wanted in for this Op we've had over two hundred people show up to play. For a brand new player who ahs only been playing with BWC for a week seeing this show of force was truly special.

The most epic moment was at the very beginning where gal after gal after gal took off from warp gate all showing the BWC tag. Some sights stay with you always.

But MWO is not short changed on memorable moments.
<div>Have you ever seen a light pilot takes out two heavies and assault all by himself?
<div>Well I have and boy was this beautiful to watch.

My most memorable moment with BWC:

Last fall I went to New York to participate in a paintball event that the BWC goes to twice a year called the West Point Combat Classic. I had so many great memories while I was there, but my most memorable time has to be just hanging around the camp fire with my fellow BWC telling stories and having a lot of laughs. A great bunch of guys in game and even better in real life.

[Skoaljaw]

The most memorable experience I’ve had with the BWC was when I was having real world financial troubles getting in to a game and the community came together and sprang for me, no questions asked. It was a humbling experience and one that I wish to pay forward as soon as I am able. BWC is a community of brothers and sisters… truly! We look out for and do anything we can for each other. One Team, One Fight. The BWC way… Join today!

My most memorable moment with the BWC

Most memorable moment by far has been when no one who was online wanted to lead the platoon and I decided to volunteer having only been in BWC for 3 days. I had lead squads and a platoon in Planetside 2 before so I felt I knew what I was doing until I realized I had no clue what BWC expectations of a Platoon leader were. Then some higher ranking members hopped on and started asking who was in charge of the Platoon because no one had their channel commander on, the 3 squads were in different AOE's and so on. I had my reasons for splitting the squads and the gamble payed off as we took the tech plant and stopped the back capture but the people asking didn't sound pleased.
At this point I fully expected the Platoon to be taken from me and given to someone more senior in BWC, but instead the higher ups let me retain my command, helped me to fix certain things I hadn't set up in team speak, and congratulated me on my successes and for being bold enough to lead a platoon in BWC as a recruit. That wasn't expected, and it made me want to keep volunteering and trying new things even when I wasn't 100% sure what I was doing.
I'm really enjoying BWC.

Most memorable moment was a massive OP we had in PS2 where we were showcasing our teamwork and tactics for the devs and getting footage to use in one of the trailers, and it involved a couple hundred people. Flying over a battlefield and seeing a litteral flood of of troops running over the ground towards an objective was epic, no other word can describe it. not just that, it was controlled chaos, with orders being delivered from higher up and being carried out by platoon and squad leaders. really was an amazing example of coordination and teamwork on a large scale.

I've had a number of other really fun moments such as during the star citizen 24 hour live stream and a couple really fun operations in MWO but the sheer scale of PS2 really let's you see how many people are truely working together in unison.

How I've improved at my game after joining BWC.

Communication, training. Those two aspects of BWC are so well defined, so well structured and executed that you can't help but become a better player by being exposed to both. The knowledge that exists, and the patience with which it is shared, is staggering and produces results almost instantly.

Your most memorable moment with BWC.

Easy - Spartan300 !! We loaded over 230 BWC players onto the PS2 servers to provide SOE with opportunities to film game play for a major consumer show. We fought for hours than had a massive vehicle race and did complex drills for the film crew. There was MWO players and Star Citizen members joining to help BWC make an impression. There was no messing around, everyone did a great job and as a community we rocked !! BWC has done filming for PGI and will most likely do filming for RSI - now what have you done lately ??

BWC - ONE TEAM ONE FIGHT !!!!!

[Macromage]

I remember shooting my weapon in a MASSIVE SOE filming operation while filming. I wont do that again lol. Had a lot of fun still.

Your most memorable moment with BWC.

So many moments. My first drop/platoon lead as total greenhorn. I just had finished my recruitment process successfully the day before. Than I got asked to lead the next drop. I said yes, but boy I was nervous to do everything right. I had to lead some vets into battle! OMG! My hands were kind of shaking. I am sure I did lots of things the wrong way. But with the kind help and encouragement of my team, we somehow managed to survive and win this one. It was clearly a team effort. But due to this help of my fellow comrades, I never feared to lead again.

[AUSPUFF]

Star Citizen is what got me introduced to this great group of players. Haven't really had that much opportunity to partake in the other games and I remember how jealous I was at everyone who managed to go on the massive SOE PS2 filming Operation. Seeing the end result and hearing the TS3 discussions afterwards was inspiring. Yes, real life commitments do truly come first many times and BWC does not 'punish' for that.

Another great moment was during the CIG/RSI 24hr live feed campaign drive. There was so much fun and excitement in out TS that people from all other primary games started pouring into our channel to see what all the commotion was all about! I'm pretty sure every next modular SC release will be an even more epic moment than the last! Can't wait to be a part of it!

Your most memorable moment with BWC

Just recently we were running a training drop and we were in four light mechs. The pug's immediately charged into the fray without any thought of tactics and got themselves killed in fairly good order. That left us in the smallest mechs to take out the remainder of the enemy team. Using excellent comms, teamwork, and target acquisition we pulled it off and got the victory while only losing one of our number. I had my doubts about the victory but the teamwork that BWC brings to the field is truly a force multiplier.

Your most memorable moment with BWC

I am still new to BWC, however, I must admit thus far it is the professionalism that was portrayed during training ops, and the value I gained from each event.

[Metalfyre]

Being put into the hot seat as a company commander stands out from amongst the many memories I've had with BWC. It was a totally different experience from my previous role as a grunt, but the support I received from my new colleagues and superiors ensured that the transition was as smooth as possible. Today, this company is among the most active and vibrant entities within BWC. Whichever role you're in, you will be provided with the support and training necessary to succeed. BWC takes care of its own.
