TBW will be making the trek to SOE HQ in San Diego this Friday! This is your chance to meet your outfit mmates, play test PS2 beta, and chat with devs.!

Thanks to those TBW members who were able to make it out with us. Below gave a short write up about our experiences:

I just woke up after the 36 hours of sleeplessness that was our adventure to SOE. I have a few things to say about our experience but I will try to be brief. Community day was simply amazing. 3 members of The Black Watch were able to make it. We left home about midnight prior and arrived in the early morning. Once employees started showing up, it immediately became apparent how cool these guys truly are. Everyone was sincerely and genuinely happy to see us and cared about what we had to say. We have attended community events for other game developers before and never have we encountered such nice folks.

One of the first people we met was John Smedly who thanked us for being there and grabbed some shirts for us (NC FTW). Soon after, we got to meet Tony 'RadarX' Jones who I would like to personally thank for being extremely accommodating and went out of his way to make sure we got everything we asked for (thanks brother, you are THE MAN). Later I got a chance to talk with a dapperly dressed Matt Higby who was super generous for answering all of my questions (stay tuned for more on that

). I could go all day listing everyone from the art team to QA but everyone was just so cool to talk to. After Josh Hackney gave us a very informative tour, I now know how Charlie felt walking through the chocolate factory.

Without saying too much, the game is coming along VERY nicely. The action was fast paced. The animations, environments, and level design was all top notch. The scale of the game is huge and feels larger than anything I have ever played, and this is coming from an EvE veteran. All I have to say in summery is this: BF and COD will soon have some real competition. I even think that the boys over at CCP should be wetting themselves as I see PS2 being the premier sci-fi/military action based game which blurs the line between genres. Free to play? Are you kidding me? This game could easily net a box price and sub fee, and I only got about an hour in total to try it out. If they ever implement a crafting and economy system, other MMOs would lose a lot of subs.

Overall, SOE threw one hell of a successful event. The game is going to be amazing for vets and bring a lot of fresh blood in. I hope that they continue to host these kinds of events in the future.

I don't suppose you have anything to do with the Blackwatch that was active in Global Agenda during Beta and in season 1?

Wow it's been a long time. We did have a small contingent in GA for a short period. We never played it for anything but a side-game though

MCYRook · 2012-07-18, 12:32 PM

If it was your crew, then your guys did leave an impression.

Glad to hear we did

We intend to make a good impression in PS2.

I really like the sound of this Outfit. Very professional and mature with realistic expectations of people.

TechTBW · 2012-07-24, 12:13 AM

Check out our site Masta. You can get a feel of the community from our forums. If it seems like a fit, feel free to throw up an app

Nendien · 2012-07-25, 05:01 AM

I used to play with these guys on Global Agenda, but I was in a different clan called Los Pistoles. Black Watch is definitely a solid group of players. I'm looking to join these guys, because I know they will be a strong force at launch.

TechTBW · 2012-07-27, 02:21 AM

It's a little over a week old but if you haven't already, check out The Black Watch's exclusive interview with Matt Higby.

Beem · 2012-08-10, 10:44 AM

This is a great group of people to play with, or just to impatiently wait out your beta invite. Give the website a once over.

TechTBW · 2012-08-13, 07:50 PM

Thanks to all the new recruits for taking the time to check us out and submit an app. Everyone has fit in very nicely and encompasses TBW's philosiphy of mature, fun, and team oriented players. We are rocking and rolling and looking for a few more to fill spots in the platoon. If we seem like a fit for you, check out our site tbwgaming.com

Griton · 2012-08-21, 01:00 PM

To all those considering TBW....I recently joined this outfit in another game (TSW) and I can tell you this is one of the best organized gaming communities I have been involved with! Add to that a large, diverse, and friendly population and you have a recipe for fun and WIN!

(to those Global Agenda players - while TBW is not officially in GA anymore some of us are still there keeping our skills sharp in anticipation of PS2. Look me up evenings EST)

TechTBW · 2012-08-25, 06:01 PM

Thanks Griton, it is great having you aboard for multiple games.

TBW still has some slots left in the platoon. Once full, we will start platoon 2.
