BDx Summary
Empire: NC
Server(s): EU (ex-Werner)
Intended outfit size: Small-Medium
Type: Resecure / Special Ops / Raiding
Primary units: Ground Transport / Armour
Attitude: Relaxed, but competitive
Rules: 'Gentleman' Rules
Recruitment: Open

Who are we?
Established in 2003 on Werner, Brutal-Deluxe was, is and always will be dedicated to serving the New Conglomerate, doing those tasks in and out of zerg the empire needs most, while having the most fun in doing so. Our members are from all over Europe, though mostly north and western Europe.

We can be found doing resecures, at on-cont-behind-the-lines ops, base drains, cont-openings or simply in the thick of battle.

Throughout the history of PlanetSide we have always been a small to medium sized outfit, with good relations within and outside of the outfit.

We have always been open to work with any other outfit within the NC community, but we also feel it is important to have respectful relationships with our enemies. Our outfit is therefore known for cooperating and coordinating with other outfits from 1337fit to zergfit to built upon and amplify each others strengths to great effect. It is after all our philosophy to have a healthy and competitive relationship with other PlanetSide outfits, to ensure everyone in game is having fun fighting with or against us.

What are our strengths?
We are about optimizing the element of surprise, trying different and original approaches, doing what nobody expects anyone to do and in doing so being as unpredictable as humanly possible.

Our main expertise in combat in PS1 has always been the use of Ground Transportation and armour. We are specialists in amphibious combat, using the Deliver and Deliverer Variants for raiding enemy bases through sneak attacks, flanking bridgeheads and taking out enemy armour from unexpected sides. When NC are without MBTs, our groups of GT units form a hard nut to crack for enemy armour and infantry alike.

Our Sunderer drivers know how to avoid detection for a good drop and work in teams to deliver NC troops safely at their destination. In PS2 we expect the Sunderer to again be key in many of our strategies and will be looking forward to any amphibious units we can get our hands on, to smash them Magriders back into the purple pulp fiction they are.

We also house some of the most experienced infiltrators and cloakers (yes, there is a difference) of NC Werner within our outfit, who are known for accomplishing tasks against impossible odds, resecuring bases right under the enemy's nose and being able to get into any base or tower, regardless of how well guarded it is or who is doing the guarding. If there is an opening, you can be sure our infils will find and exploit it!

You see those bases your empire cannot breach for 5 hours straight? Give us ten minutes and we'll create an opening for the rest of the empire to exploit. When our infils work as siege engineering saboteurs, we're unrivaled.

Our ethics
We are a gentleman's outfit, meaning we have our own rules and quirks. Rather than age, we select our members on maturity.

What we look for in a player:

Act respectful towards friendlies and enemies alike
Play for the empire, outfit and yourself, at once
Initiative and self-sacrifice
A good sense of humour
Relaxed attitude, but ambition to win
A love of pie
Capacity to coordinate, especially as driver or gunner
Basic map reading abilities and interest in the larger picture of a fight
Ability to or willingness to think ahead rather than just the here and now
Willingness for high risk, high reward gameplay
Willingness to learn if any of the above lack
Able to withstand the adrenaline rush whenever your commander decides to take on numerical odds of 20 to 1 in a mad, precision strike plan that sounds incredibly silly and impossible at first, yet leads to achieving the objectives set, leaving behind confused enemies who didn't know what the hell just happened, where it came from and why the hell nobody saw that coming.

What we are not about:

Griefing friendlies or enemies
Provoking by taunting excessively and inappropriately
Starting or maintaining fueds
Spawncamping (not to be confused with shooting someone in spawns while taking them out)
Hit an empire that's incapable of fighting back (at all)
Overuse heavy firepower when we don't need to
Killing fights for the sake of killing fights

Of course, that doesn't mean we'll let VS or TR win.

Well I don't think Figgy needs any PR, but this group is one I played with for a little while and they are very organised, effective, but at the same time friendly and helpful group of people.

This.

I've been part of Brutal Deluxe during one of my returns to the game. Some of the best, most level-headed and friendlies players I had the fortune to encounter on Werner NC!

Big shout-out to you guys! Looking forward to roll with you again once PS2 starts!

Humweee · 2012-06-07, 06:07 PM

Remember playing with you guys in the old days, not sure if you remember the little Humweee dude who always flew the galaxy gunship, but if i'm not going to be playing with my community i hope i'll have some good time with you guys

Figment · 2012-06-07, 06:40 PM

That'd be awesome Jes and humm and yeah of course I remember you! <3

Thanks for the kind words NewSith.

Hmm think he's from Renegade Legion, not quite sure of his relation to BDx tbh, we've been through quite some fluxes.

Muncher · 2012-06-10, 01:09 AM

Hello all.
I'm extremely new to PlanetSide, I hadn't even heard of it until my friend gave me a priority key a few weeks ago. He mentioned that I should join a outfit, and told me to start looking for one. Your guys looks great and I was wondering if/how I could join.

I'm 18, and have been playing online games for a while. I've admined a few servers, and like to think I fit your guy's "level headed yet competitive" goal. I don't really get angry at games, and I'm mostly just looking for a group of bros to play this great game with.

I was planning on playing a light assault or a combat medic, I hope that would fit in well with your guys strategies and play styles.

If you guys could drop me some info on how to join, along with the basics of all this outfit stuff (I'm really new) I would really appreciate it.

I'm really excited for this game and really hope I can find a group of fun layed back people to enjoy it with.

Figment · 2012-06-10, 08:29 PM

Heya Muncher, you'll be most welcome!

We're currently setting up camp and trying to get as many people as possible back together on the armoredfist.org website. You can also find me on Steam as FigmentOfYerImagination.

Muncher · 2012-06-10, 09:10 PM

Would you mind linking your steam account? I'm having trouble finding it on the steam search....

KILLFACE · 2012-06-10, 11:24 PM

SOMEONE ELSE THAT'S ACTUALLY PLAYED SPEEDBALL!!! AHOY!!! You played the new one?
And hey man if your NC register on jetbastards.enjin.com and holla at me n mention your CO of a Platoon I'll add you to the Inter Clan Communication thread, we've already got 2 Comrade Clan's and a few more we're working it out with.

Makaron · 2012-06-11, 10:12 AM

Hello Brutal-Deluxe!

Just like Muncher I'm really new to Planetside and found out about this game around January this year. Got a beta-key recently and am finally confident enough to look for an outfit.
I'm 23 years old and live in Germany. I've played many shooters before and prefer to play support classes whenever given the chance. Medic, Engineer and Sunderer/Galaxy-Driver are the things that interest me the most

Will try out all the other classes too of course.
I feel quite confident in my driving-skills in other games, so I should be able to tame dat Sunderer in no time

(I hope)
So yeah, I was wondering if I could join you guys too?
I really like the attitude, rules and allegiance of this outfit. NC ftw!

Baneblade · 2012-06-11, 10:34 AM

FOYI never really drew my attention (kind of the point of Spec Ops) until I played against him on an alt. You can't go wrong with him or his outfit.

Figment · 2012-06-11, 05:59 PM

To all interested in joining, please visit http://armoredfist.org !

We're trying to get Armored Fist, Brutal-Deluxe as well as 1st Hot Drop players under one alliance umbrella with different outfit specialisms. We're looking forward for further details on PS2 to determine exactly how we'll be organising though you can bet we'll be the ground vehicle branch.

Please note; if you experience difficulties staying logged in on the new forums, that's due to Internet Explorer having some issues with Enjin forums. :/
