How did you find dmw?

[Snokio]

Joined via the CS days, was still new to the game and learning, found that many dMw members (Whitey, Sadako and Blunt) using in-game coms for tactical play on CS map 'port', and I signed up along with Reiken and Exodus IIRC
 
Now look, I'm starting to reminisce the days that have far gone :crying:

[Squonk]

alt.games.counterstrike (or whatever it was). That'll be a newsgroup for younger members :wink2:

Network42 first then it's UK-based spin-off (courtesy of DogMeat) - dMw

Followed Pen here from AOKCC, back in 2001 ish i think.

We had a match in ED while I was in an old clan called [CIGS]. It didn't go to well in there so I decided to join -=[dMw]=- due to the excellent server with gameplay and sticking to the objective rule. I ended up taking a few players with me to -=[dMw]=-
I joined the forums in March 2003 but can't find my first post as I 've posted quit a bit since then.
 
Managed to get into Deltasquad within -=[dMw]=- which I found quit an achievement.
Oh yeah, also managed to get King and da_Ricci to join. Do'h!
 
EDIT;
Joining post found; http://www.deadmen.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?3384-New-Members-to-dMw
 
Also managed to visit the LANs a few times (I think 6 or so) which I enjoy alot and managed to get an A'damtrip working.

The first sign of DMW came to me while playing CZ, joining them to get the PW for the tactical servers they had and then just slipped in at WoW aswell.

I joined when Oldbloke found the original Meathook CS server (I think that must have been 2001?), met Dogmeat, and started playing on there regularly.

He told Frenzy, Frenzy told me and the rest is history.

I thought in addition to how I found dMW I thought I’d give a potted history of how I got into the Battlefield games. Too long for my forum bio, but worth a punt as a one-off post.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...

...no, well in October 2004 at least, Mrs Arithon bought me BattleField 1942. This was the first online game I had played with some actual strategy and vehicles!! You could change weapons, parachute and did I mention vehicles? You could not just FLY a flying fortress, you could ride in one and fire the guns too!
Because DICE were an independent dev at that time, they still made mod tools and soon maps and mods were popping up like “Point Of Existence ” and one particular mod, “Desert Combat” began sucking away my evenings. This led me to join my first clan “1st Genyosha” the clan drifted apart after about nine months and with the release of “BattleField Vietnam” I was playing less “Desert Combat”.
During early 2005 rumours surfaced that the guys who’d made the DC mod had been employed by DICE and in summer 2005 “Battlefield 2” was released and my poor wife began telling everyone she was a computer widow! My “little” brother Johnny5 (he’s 14 year my junior) also began playing BF2 and he stumbled across a clan “Dnd-squad”, my second clan and played many happy hours of BF2. Roughly the equivalent of 8 hours a day for 44 days!
I was involved in the early (BETA 1) of BF2142 and despite my high hopes for the game, it was nerfed before its release. Also, with the EA acquisition of DICE, update support was dying for BF2, so DnD-Squad gradually died off. The various COD and MOH games and their sequels were released, but none really topped BF2 and by 2008 my brother had defected to the PS3.
Then last March EA & DICE released BFBC2 for the PC (having given the consoles BF1943 & BFBC while giving the PC gamers who put them where they are today the finger for five years!). I was not too enthusiastic at first, (low expectations) but after playing the demo, I pre-ordered and began playing. But (as mentioned) my brother spent all his time playing “COD: Modern Twitch-Shooter 2” and “F1:2010” in his “costs-more-than-my-gaming-PC” racing chair with the other console-monkeys (traitor) so I had nobody to play alongside and playing lone-wolf in BFBC2 gets old fast.
So by the latter part of the year I was playing MOH and had dropped BFBC2. I got “COD:BO” for Christmas from Mrs Arithon, but after finishing the single-player missions I found the MP version too “consoley” to get along with. So in February I gave BFBC2 a second chance.
Looking for a low-ping server in the UK I ran across dMw’s server and started playing. First thing I notice was there WERE ADMINS! Administrators who actually enforced rules, so making the game playable. After coming back over several days, TwoBad messaged me suggesting I join Teamspeak and so I did. Since then I have gone from rank 24 to rank 36 in roughly a month. (Sorry Ghost)
dMw are not just a good gaming clan (with a well administered server) but support more than one game, which is a real strong point, having been in two previous clans which died when people moved to other games.
Keep it up guys, you have my full support.

Had been playing BC2 for a short time with Fazer & Jian.  Both Fazer and i ran TS servers so we could chat in game.  However, as i'd only just started play fps (yes i know, what have i been doing with my life?) whenever they weren't on i wasn't enjoying it much (my k/d back then was around 0.2) and i nearly stopped playing.  As a bit of a last resort i Googled BFBC2 clans/communities, i found a couple in the UK which looked good but when i contacted them they either had fallen by the wayside or weren't accepting new members.  Luckily, i stumbled across the dMw BC2 server.  Had a few games and Ninja suggested registering on the forum and getting on TS.

So something you could maybe look at Ghosty is getting dMw to be better represented in Google results.  With the search i did for UK only results, dMw aren't in there at all.

COD4 ......

I first started playing PC games the day my mum bought me an intel386 for my birthday at the age of 10, Command and Conquer springs to mind :boxing: ooo then Red Alert.

I then went through a period of playing games like Sim City 2000 and age of Empires but then got a Playstation 1 for Christmas and started playing Tekken and Fifa 97.

I then grew up......

Got a new PC, whilst i was at college, didnt know anything about hardware or OS's just used it for chatting on the web (MSN that kinda thing). A couple of my mates were talking about a game called Medal of Honor Allied Assault for the PC and how good it was playing it online.......so, we set up our own "Clan", rented a server (im sure i still owe 2 months rent for it), I remember thinking the graphics were incredible and wondering how my pc actually coped with it........Thats when i started getting curious with the way computers worked....

4 Years later we had played clan matches on CoD, Cod2 and Spearhead....built my first pc from scratch (that was an experience) :blink:

Then Cod4 was realeased in 2008, i seperated from the clan i was with (dont know why tbh....but glad i did  now ) and i stumbled accross a server named dMw Teamplay i think it was called,  2 and a half years on, here i am

Thanks everyone :boxing:

I first got dragged into multi-player gaming by doing some local 4xPC BNC networked Doom-fests, in a flat, in Glasgow, in the mid 90's. It was a fast decline onto the hard stuff, never quite getting the right fix.

By the end of the 90's I was working for BT and met Fifi, at this point I was doing my gaming on the now Defunct "Barrysworld" servers, playing "JailBreak" and "Action Quake II", they had their own ISDN dial-up modems on local rates and allowed bonded channels, oh the speed, but they ran it voluntarily, real life commitments and it's success, caused them to sell it off, at this point the service went pants.

I spent a while on the Bolt servers, but it wasn't the same.

Fifi had been on the internal BT newsgroups and someone, lets call him "Oldbloke" (whatever happened to him), had posted some stuff about -=[dMw]=-. Fifi told me about it, but the term "Clan" didn't appeal to me and so I continued in the wilderness for a while.

Eventually Fifi got me to visit the forums to explain that -=[dMw]=- were not actually a clan based site, but a community that had a clan warfare section. So I ventured on and registered, Fifi was my enabler.

Fifi had the operation and became Sn00ks, I joined in the Friday night games and became 'known'.

The rest is history and, as they say, has been wiped from the public record in the interests of public decency and to protect the innocent.

On 29th November 2004 , after accidently stumbling upon the CS:CZ server and liking the spirit.

[FrEnZy]

Oldie made me join to help lessen his shame at constantly losing matches

[Benny]

Simples..

CS1.6 - Network 42 - Sadako - dMw

A chain that the clan leaders regret to this day..

Change Sadako to Tealeaf, prefix CS with [WAS] clan playing Delta Force and you're there.

[Oberg]

I think i saw a thread on some forum about dMw for COD4 or MW2 i dont remember.

So i gave it a shot and right now i only play games on our servers except for LoL were it´s only matchmaking.

Anyway i love this place, to bad school is taking so much time right now.

Afraid I'm one of these pixel idiots from wow

First time on this website I was so idiot and only looked in the wow section but then slowly and bravely started to look around as well and I found out what wonderful people there is in this community (some of you prob talk crap about me but wth )

[DrunkenZombiee]

I stumbled upon dMw in the BF2 days when I joined the server and had a few games but never joined the forums as I didn't feel the need. My tag would have been "TIPSYTOM" then (anyone notice the recurring alcohol based theme). Too many people copied the original name that I have had for myself since on-line play of Red Alert, Rainbow Six : Rouge spear etc.Still own the domains but that's about it.

Recently when back in Norwich for a UNI reunion with Mark and Ash [I know all of Ghosty's Crew as went to uni with them] there was a mention of dMw over a few Bevvies and the fun people have had in servers/LAN's. I thought I would play a few games with you guys to see what the hype was about. Turns out its true and your an awesome bunch of Guys and Gals (had to include Ellie). The main thing that sealed it was some interesting talks with khicken, Main, Gorion and Gortex when playing D & D which I had not tried before. I was literally in tears of laughter over team speak. It was then that I decided I would make an effort to come to the LAN and bully work into giving me the time off.

Since then I have been hopping on and off servers and slowly talking to more and more of you. I have had some good hints and tips off many of you for games that I have been new to which I am grateful for and everyone is friendly and welcoming.

Looking forward to meeting you all in person at the LAN.
