~Shadow Warriors~

Perfect Stu · 08-14-2002, 06:31 PM

Welcome to the official thread of GameTavern's SOCOM US Navy SEALs clan, the Shadow Warriors.

In this thread, I will go over the basics of making our clan, what we can do as a clan, and some strategies for kicking other teams' asses.

CLAN-tastic

SOCOM has taken the admirable leap of including support for clans within the game engine itself. And while the options aren't exactly overwhelming, the game does allow you to put a group of like-minded players together, communicate with each other easily, and even automatically group your clan onto the same team once you actually join a game.

Creating a clan is simple: Pick a name (Shadow Warriors), hit a button, and you're done. Then just hit invite, type in the players' names, and the next time they're online they'll see your invitation, which they can accept or decline. As the owner of a clan, you can kick people out at your whim. You can also enter messages that your clan members will see on the opening screen once they've logged onto the SOCOM server. Use this ability to update you clan with news of new members, leadership changes, or general info. Other options include naming a new leader (if you just can't handle the responsibility), leaving the clan yourself, or disbanding the clan altogether.

When you create a game, you have the option of grouping all your clan members on the same team, SEALs or Terrorists (otherwise the server randomly assigns players like usual). You can also set a password for the game, which players will have to enter before joining; the clan messaging utility is a good place to pass around this information.

Chances are, once your clan gets rolling, you're going to want a little more freedom to communicate with your players than the game engine gives you. (We already have this here GameTavern).

Ok, I will join this clan, but it won't be until mid next year. You don't have to add my name yet, as I don't see the point, but I'm just letting you know.

And Shadow Warriors is a cool name btw.

Sounds very good.... But one thing. Will we be able to set up our own matches? Or does that cost money?

DarkMaster · 08-14-2002, 08:56 PM

ZIMM, he didn't make you sound like an idiot. He just simply answered your question. Don't let your ego get in the way with simple things like this.
