Ugh, don't remind me. I'm 3 hours away from San Fran but can't attend the launch event. So disappointed.

But even though I can't attend, there still are a good number of BWC members who are attending.

The level of professionalism in BWC is sometimes staggering. To think a completely volunteer force is capable of such things is truly astonishing.

I love the fact that as a team we can pull together a winning team out of the hat at any time... Sure as hell beats my experiences whilst PUGing.

We're big, but it's not overwhelming. And having a lot of members allows us to do things other units can't. We have extensive training opportunities, numerous and varied 12v12 (all BWC members) operations, and in-house community warfare. Joining BWC will open the game up for all levels of players.

BWC is large, but not so much that we feel the need to fill our ranks with numbers. At BWC, you're not just a number or another face in the crowd. You become part of a larger group, a family of sorts. People will begin to know you by name and by voice alone. In this way, BWC is unique as normally those kinds of things happen in smaller units but not larger ones. I'm proud to say that BWC has a small unit home feeling with lots of people.

Join today!

I heavily enjoy the average age range at BWC. Almost all of us are 21+. You won't find some kid running his mouth off here.

As they say, silence is golden.

Yes, we are old people. Veteran doesn't refer to military service, but is a kinder word for elderly.

I'm only half joking with that.

And duct tape is silver.

But you're right. Our MWO Regiment is comprised of a lot of mature, fun-loving adults who like to kick butt and enjoy the game.

BWC was a force at PAX Prime in Seattle, leading a panel on Veterans in gaming. It's long video, but it shows our commitment across the spectrum of games, both in the game and out.

Very proud to be a part of BWC. Best gaming decision I've ever made, and I've made some great friends and contacts, both for the gaming world and professionally too. BWC is full of resourceful people and its awesome!

I have been in the BWC for a little over a year now. Sometimes, its the companys camaraderie that keeps me going for this game. The friend ships I have forged over the year, and the stuff I have learned from them, is simply awesome. I love The-BWC.com simply for the fact that we stand together.

I don't know what to say about BWC other than that I can barely wait for CW so we can take planets across the entire known galaxy.

  • Now will a good time to remind all our viewers that we are a truly international company.
    We have members from Australia and japan, al across the EU and off curse North and South America.

    Our TS channels are occupied 24/7, literally.

    So if you're interested in BWC and have some misgivings because where you live, don't.
    We have all, we take all.

    One team, one fight.

After having been in the BWC for 2 months now I, a short summary of experiences (all of them reproduceable)

If I go 4-man our team gets regularily 4 to 6 kills, does, on average, some 400 damage per member regardless of mech class. Thats in random teams where everyone just brings what is being levelled. If we drop in a non-random composition both damage and hit count go up in a statistically significant way.
People are nice, they are decent, they think before acting and they are damned cool to play with.
Positive feedback is standard procedure...
Hardly a day where I don't learn something. An amazing experience, and quite new (an that after more than 12 years of online gaming).
I could continue telling you this for half a day (and several pages of forum content) :)
But I won't.

But you could look up what people fighting against BWC regularily in PS2 think about us.
(Different game, same people, same tactical approach, same teamwork).

If you go up against us: We respect your skill. But don't expect to win.

So: Stop lone wolfing. Smart wolves run in packs after all.

We are constantly evolving our training and tactics as MWO evolves. Teamwork, respect and hard work are how we achieve results
