We are all about surgical strikes and the strategical planning that comes with that. If you see 2-3 Galaxies dropping on the enemy armor collum creating a big vacuum in there its more than likely to be us.

We put heavy weight into teamplay, so even if you're aim is shit you can carry your team in other ways.
- - - - - - - - - -

We're looking for members that:

- value squadbased play over lonewolfing.
- have the willingness to follow orders without question.
- understand the concept of Initiative Based Tactics (IBT).
- are willing to work towards the mandatory certs we've set out for our members.
- can understand and speak English on Teamspeak(mic required).
- can participate in Ops and Drills.
- have read the DWG Code of Conduct and other documentation provided.

Note: We're happy to take on new members to get them up to speed with the game and tactics that we're using.

Do not consider applying if:

- you prefer running as a lonewolf and see squadding as a waste of time!
- you do not have a mic or understand english.
- you do not understand the concept of teamplay.
- you are a rambo type of player that runs in before everyone else.. which would compromise the rest of the squad

- - - - - - - - - -
YOUR FORUM NAME MUST BE THE SAME NAME YOU'RE USING IN PLANETSIDE 2
- - - - - - - - - -

- Make an application thread based on the template provided in our forums Here (http://deathwatchgaming.com/forums/12-applications/52-read-first)
- If your application is approved you are handed a load of documentation you're expected to take part in
- During your trial period, you'll be expected to participate in squads, drills and ops.
- If your trial period goes well and you want to stay you'll become a grunt member.
- If you wish to advance past grunt you need to participate in x amount of drills and have the required mandatory certs to move on past grunt

You'll be in trial for 2 weeks after joining.
You can also trial the outfit without leaving your current outift: More info here (http://deathwatchgaming.com/forums/12-applications/4130-want-to-try-out-the-outfit-before-joining)

EU or US

[ArchangeI]

EU or US

Currently we have members from all Timezones and all countries, we aim to have actives on most if not all:)

[Naveo]

That seems... chaotic.
Personally, I'd prefer an outfit with order. Organizing their members, keeping everything in check.

What may happen is region-servers and mostly Europeans on the server. Everything will be in order. We have iOS and Android apps now, which is awesome.. :groovy:

so what about servers?? do u intend to play on all of them aswell? xD

Well i do see your point but it feels like a game where you would need 24/7 representation if it pans out as that aint the case well then there aint a problem

[ArchangeI]

Well what if we brand us as EU and lets see what the US guys do:)

[Banjo]

I just want to say that I joined this clan and looking forward to having fun with dominating the battlefield

Yeah and welcome bud, sorry for my absence been gone for 3 days doing a seminare on FIRO Leadership theory

Just had a look around your site. Looks great. I'm sure you guys will do well. However as the leader of a successful clan which played in the original PS I'd recommend you guys rethink your recruitment procedure. We were one of those "oh no, no THOSE guys again..." groups but we only earned that reputation because of the strength of our playerbase. A tough recruitment process isn't necessarily a bad thing and having to work towards a goal can be rewarding in gaming; which can often be full of instant gratification.

We recruit on an invite-only basis because our reputation allows us to do so and i wouldn't recommend that for you guys, but we also have a 2-4 week trial procedure for every applicant. This basically ensures we maintain the highest standards and are ultimately successful in the games we play. It can be tempting just to invite people, particularly at the start but remember good players attract other good players and if you build a solid group they WILL come. However if your standards slip you will see the results come in loses on the battlefield!

[Banjo]

well I hope I won't bring the skill level down. I've played a bit competitive FPS's before, got on 6th place in the ESL VS BF3 Warmup + years of FPS experience as well as MMORPG and MMOFPS (planetside wasn't one of them though =/ ).

I wasn't aiming this at anyone in particular and Arch will probably ignore my advice anyway. Just an observation having run one of the best small-scale Outfits in PS. In my opinion a group like Deathwatch is only as strong as it's weakest member and unless you trial you can't be sure how weak/strong those members are. It's also a chance for the applicant to get used to the way you work before they make a commitment to the clan.

I can only agree with you and you are right on all points except that we feel that we cant discriminate anyone, but of course as mentioned there will have to be some sort of confort zone for people regarding their skill level, i do think anyone can be trained and can practice to reach a certain level of skill.

To reach the point of where we can say that we are a force that can turn a battle we have to have members to train, i dont feel that we are in a state where we can exclude a large percentage of people.

Beeing Adapted to FIRO Leadership Theory i do think we can work really well as a group even if the individual skill might not be in top 100.

And as you do point out, a group is only as strong as its weakest link so thats where our focus will have to be.

But once we reach a certain level of respect we can as you say get to the point where we can be alot more selective

I like this type of constructive critisism:)
Thank you

Don't mention it man. As an Empire leader I always felt it was valuable to have an active interest in fellow VS Outfits and whether DT end up on VS again in PS2 or switch sides, I'll look forward to seeing you guys on the battlefield.

This is rare i tell you that...
There aint many out there that can make that connection at all they only see it as their outfit and not as a part of the empire.

Working on a vanu fanpage / community site

[ArchangeI]

Active recruitment :)

[ArchangeI]

We need you!!!

[ArchangeI]

A little something ive been working on for the Vanu Community.

Still just a concept

[Banjo]

I've always been a big fan of ATC and the sight looks pretty cool and a good place to gather up forces.

[ArchangeI]

Make sure you check out www.vanu-coalition.com

[ArchangeI]

We're looking for people going into specific specializations rather than spreading their certs

[marexas]

You can count on me Archangel I will fight for Deathwatch as always.

[Thorec]

You can count on me aswell. Who else to play this game with but Deathwatch. and Im thinking of going battlemedic or whatever it's called.

[Fonz]

Aw man i cant wait for it to either get released or i get a beta key so i can play with you guys!

Been alot of fun in the previous games and im sure this wont be an exception.

[Zalmoxis]

Well, even though it might sound like a dumb reason, I decided to try and join you guys because I always enjoyed being a "mercenary" in every game that allowed that option :) ( Gothic 2 is my favorite example here)

As for me: I never played PS1 but I am experienced with shooters. I've been playing them since the old days, since the release of CS and the first Call of Duty games up to BF3, Arma 2 and so on. I am also experienced with teams, guilds and so on, having played MMORPGS, Dota ( semi-competitively on Garena a few years ago) and LoL ( semi-competitively a year or so ago).

I am more than certain that PS2 will take up most of my spare time ( which is a lot) and I would like to enjoy it as much as I can, and being in a good Outfit will definitely help! That and I enjoy winning most of all. I make everything a competition even if I won't say it out loud :)

For now, I don't have any mike but I am going to buy one in the following week( weeks at most).

No idea what was wrong but glad it worked out:)

[Ant001]

Hmmm It seems to me you don't understand this game. It's about faction loyalty and no about mercs. Your merc stratagey will NOT work here.
VS4Life. - get it?

[Banjo]

we are aware of it

Youre basing this on what u know from ps1

[KiddParK]

want to stop by and say how great it is to see a dedicated Vanu EU outfit recruting here in the forums. I've seen so many Euro's stop by and look for someplace to call home and none of us North Americans can give them what they need. This was needed.

Best of luck with the outfit.

Thanks, much appriciated, im kinda suprised with the lack of EU outfits as Well to say the least we'll do better than our best:)

[fonzo]

I'd like to join.

Location: If its ok I'm located in NA, eastern time

Communications: skype, mumble, vent, cell (if I need to get teamspeak 3 then ill get it now)

As for a presentation I had a few videos on my old youtube channel but I deleted a while ago. They were of me doing accurate trick shots with ballistics knives on black ops which had a drop rate like in PS2.

I've never experienced an FPS like this and I've been looking for one that has teamwork but never thought there'd be one like this.

EDIT: I also have a priority beta key so Ill be on as early as anyone else.

Same here, tried on firefox, chrome and iPhone.
Fix it...

[ArchangeI]

Cant fix something thats not broken, in zals case it was a cache problem on his end after activation. Seein as yours was fixed before i could look i cant be sure

[ArchangeI]

We're working on a primer of our own based of sents and the planetside tactics site :)

There'll be alot of similarities but its for the sole reason that one should know what they are talking about if you end up grouping with some other outfits.

[ArchangeI]

A great thanks to Warrior Nation, Planetside Tactics and Sentinals for putting such effort in creating primers, guides, tactics and other guidelines:)

This is something we've taken to heart and will be following in our own way.

[ArchangeI]

Looking for people who're interested in a organized outfit.

[Davelantor]

Hi, i am a vet BF1942, BF2142, BF3 Pilot ... *Youtube Channel* (http://www.youtube.com/user/davelantor) for flying examples ... hoping to fly for a good outfit when the time comes to fight for the Vanu. Can manage ground combat also, preferably an engineer or light assault.

I am looking for a large organized EU Vanu team and i was curious on how many players are you expecting to have on the outfit

[ArchangeI]

Currently we're expecting 50-80 at launch, we aint interested in a zerg we want a name n face on each member. We wont have any member limit but the number has to be manageble as Well

[ArchangeI]

Everyday im shuffling

[ArchangeI]
