"rifleman first," Nice to see that by military vets they must mean USMC vets, Rah.

Is BWC an all encompassing supernatural being as i read it and still no clue as to whom it was who was answering the questions?

Gratz to them/it anyway.

BWC's more of a Group of us.. I mean.. there's not really a singular collective and all of us being one, we're led by Firefly who does a lot of the talking for us as we tend to usually be on the same page... but at the end of the day, we're all gamers with the desire to do some pretty awesome things. We just decided to try our hand at Planetside and we were able to do real well for ourselves.

USMC, Navy, Army actually.. and Air Force vets. Just happens that our OL is a Former Army Ranger.

I ran with these guys for a while in 2003 2004, and were a great bunch to fight alongside. Congrats on the outfit spotlight, as BWC has been a major outfit in Planetside for nearly a decade on now.

Too bad their website looks terrible. Sorry, it had to be said. There should be a platoon of webdesigners in the army, they could make propaganda websites and pornsites to boost morale.

That's fine. It's a work in progress truth be told.

Yeah, I am a web dev, but I spend all my time working on our internal systems. We actually have quite a bit of custom software we run.

Is that man in the distance drowning? he seems to be calling for help

Yeah not to be negative, but the website needs an update. I feel like I went back in time 12 years ago. All you need is a higher res logo for main page, and better font. That bladerunner text is hard to read. Maybe slap a gradient or something on the navigation background.

Oh don't mind him, he's just in his victory lap. I think linking people to that website was more help than that man could ever ask for.

Firefly has been really silent these days. Quite unfortunate since some posts these days really deserve a big wall of flames.

Looking forward to battling BWC !

Thank you all for the constructive feedback concerning the website's cosmetic appeal. I have a honey-do list of tasks that I want to accomplish and the website is pretty far down on the list, in the grand scheme of things. On the flip side of that coin, most of that stuff has been accomplished and we'll be redesigning the front page.

I've switched gears in life and I'm now working on Short films in an effort to get a film career going. I don't have much time for gigantic walls of flame so I've confined my efforts to continue growing BWC. Rest assured, if some mouthy cocksucker walks into my three-metre killzone...

Oh wait.

Hey. I'm sure your developmentally-challenged sense of frat-boy humor finds the website incredibly hilarious. How about go troll elsewhere. kthxbai.

Their military members are multi-national btw. Army vet does not automatically mean US army vet.

No, you're right - that is true. We do have members of non-US services. It's primarily European nations, since most of our overseas/foreign memberbase come from Europe. Though at one point we did have a guy in the Russian Army.

The website might need a bit of a cosmetic update but, unlike some outfits I can think of, we do not rely on flashy photoshop jobs or digital bling to speak for us or hook in new recruits.

Our reputation, Our History and our commitment to moving forward into PS2 with the same baddassery that our reputation and history demand of us - Those are what define us, Our actions, Our content, Our MEAT :twisted:

Not the window dressing :rolleyes:

True enough, I hope we have many a great battle against BWC testing that reputation first hand.

He's Enclave. I may have been your enemy on Emerald...But I think we both can agree that The Enclave was a pretty sad attempt at an outfit.

Let's try to keep outfit spotlight threads on topic. Much like in the recruitment forums please do not troll other outfits threads.

Thanks :)

just Googled 'Kraftwerk'.

TIME TO DO SOME WEB DESIGN!

SKYeXile
2012-06-20, 08:40 PM
At least he DIY'd it. Personal touch always beats template, regardless how ugly. Can't expect everyone to be webdesigners. We'd all have to start wearing complicated glasses, tight shirts, and listen to Kraftwerk 200 years after it was cool. No thanks.

Yea, people that use enjin or another free guild hosting site or a standard phpbb forum with a plain ass skin forfeit all rights to comment on other peoples sites.

I'm not here to get into any sort of pissing match with any outfit or random mouth-breathing oxygen thief. I appreciate everyone's feedback on the outfit website - it helps us grow, even obnoxious lulz-look-@-u comments. Roger out.

I'm sure website aesthetics will be the main thing on their mind while they play PS2...

Some people are weird.
