BWC got pretty sick with its tactics at times. One time we dropped a skyguard onto a air-repair re-arm terminal at a tech plant while draining the base so that we could knock down the skeeters that would come to do quick rehack. Those where some very satisfying kills. Join BWC today.

Here is a shot of BWC forming up for a raid. (ULTRA Raids were normally 100+ people)

Here is another image of a BWC fireteam holding down the back door.

We often split up our squad into teams of 5 to make better use of our resources.

Here is another shot. I think this was from when BWC participated in the PlanetSide "Outfit Wars". (Basically an attempt at PlanetSide style e-sports for the unaware.)

Yeah, the middle image actually shows a lot. Notice how the heavies (UFN and Devast) are out in front with the max with their weapons drawn providing cover for the lighter guys (myself and Kazba) to do the healing and repairing... Part of that is common sense, part of it is training, but the proof of the pudding is in the eating, and while this one was a candid screenshot because I thought it looked cool, the way everyone was performing was really quite solid. (Except UFN. He doesn't believe in taking cover... :P)

Here is the last one for now. It was taken at one of the Scenario Paintball events that we attended:



(Yes, it is totally awesome looking, and yes, it is totally BWC..)

My all-time favourite moment with BWC wasn't actually in Planetside.

It was at a 24-hr paintball scenario down in Virginia. The field had this enormous clearing with three tall towers that were linked via a walkway through the top level. The towers were surrounded by bunkers and trenches.

BWC took seven guys and skirted the entire edge of the field, hiding and dodging patrols and groups from the other team. We moved up a wooded hill behind the clearing and kept just inside the trees. About twenty metres from the tower, we burst out of the woods and formed a stack on the third tower, at the bottom.

We swept in, popping anything that didn't put its hands up due to being well inside the ten-foot safety zone. We cleared four levels of that tower and came up to the top, where some dude opened up on us from above.

I chucked a paint grenade at him and it covered the guy. He started shouting to his buddies (way to keep that integrity... dead men tell no tales, asshole). We came boiling out of the stairs and swept that walkway, then held the top of the centre tower, mowed down anything on the remaining walkway to the last tower, and cleared down to the bottom of the centre, where we found a trapdoor that dropped into the trenches.

The poor guys had to demo all three towers just to get us out, but by then we'd hit the trenches and cleared that entire zone, pushed all the way to the opposite team's CP, blew it and head-capped the general and his XO. That alone netted our entire team over 1k points and secured us our first (of many) Most Valuable Team award.

The entire time, I had Planetside theme song humming out of my mask. And when I got home from that game, I logged in and played all night despite being sore, bruised, battered, dog-ass tired, and horny as hell.

And that is just one of many memories. If I didn't have to leave for work right now I would tell of one of the coolest ULTRA raids that I participated in. (I actually led it, which was awesome)

Actually I was behind that RedDawn guy (seriously though I think i was further out because we were standing further back and I needed a better angle on the door)

Actually I think I remember that back door defence, notably for how ridiculously efficient we were with next to no traditional firepower against overwhelming enemy numbers (At least a platoon was storming the back door)

Devast and I aren't holding Cyclers, suppressors or any other auto-rifle; We're holding our trusted bolt drivers and there weren't any guys behind us covering our ass the back door defence was the entirety of the people you see in that ScreenShot. BWC does not rely on sheer numbers to get the job done, what we rely on is far more effective...

- Our training, which the BWC provides, which allows us to adapt to any scenario under basically any circumstance and still offer significant resistance.

- Our expertise with our equipment, which is gained through the specialisation options the BWC offers in the form of task forces. Both Devast and I were members of BWC's LRS-D task force, a subset of the Rangers task force, which meant we were both skilled users of the sniper rifle and we knew exactly how to use it in more situations than sitting on a hill taking shots from a distance; We can snipe for all occasions.

- Our team mates, who kept the MAX alive, who kept Devast and I alive, whom without we would have died very quickly (and stayed dead too). Everyone knew their roll and fulfilled it to the best of their abilities and then some.

With two snipers softening up infantry, the AI MAX cleaned them up before the door had finished opening, anyone who got too far in met with a boomer from the RedDawn guy (who was playing the honorary role of what one of BWC's Commando's would have been doing that night) and if they decided to pull a MAX I had my striker at hand.

In the end we were overrun...by enemies coming from inside the base. The Backdoor never fell by their efforts against our backdoor defence - The entire base had to fall first.

BWC lead the way

I remember a time while playing planetside, when we ended up taking half of the maps in a squad before meeting resistance.. And when we did we steamrolled the resistance. Tower of power too
