[TR] Black Widow Company: military-style, veteran-owned

Why I have stayed with BWC.

When you join BWC, and go through the recruitment process and finish it you feel a sense of accomplishment, and that's just the beginning. Any time you log in there are people doing something interesting, and you have your pick of activities. There is not one time i logged in and was bored. BWC makes you feel right away that this is a team you want to be part of for years to come and it does not end with just an online game. Im here to stay.

I'm very impressed to see that the BWC member will probably never meet, and yet somehow care for each other. I lost both my parents in a very short period of time. Would you expect a stranger you've shot online many times to get in touch with you to ask if it was OK if he'd send you flowers in the name of the entire outfit? I sure didn't. And would you expect someone you have never even spoken to, to get up halfway the night, get online and start teaching you stuff, just because that's your timezone and it would fit your agenda better? I sure didn't. Can't wait to contribute my bit to this outfit!

First impressions within the first month of starting with BWC.

My first impression of joining BWC was this: "JACKPOT!!"

These guys where exactly what I wanted and some things I needed. This was indeed a cohesive unit. A bunch of people that not only fly together under the same flag but actually work together in an attempt to improve themselves and then pass it on to help improve others. Yes this is a military stile unit we are not the military, which means these guys were able to take the good of the system without having us to deal with the not so good of the system.

I thought that here I can learn, here I can improve, here I can give back and here I have a home.

Why I have stayed with BWC.

Read above, I stayed because I was right.

I stayed because the people are awesome. J

Why I have stayed with BWC.

It so far boils down to the simple fact that I am happy here and enjoy being here. I have freedom to play multiple games with the same people and even though there are official games that are supported, this does not stop people from playing a huge variety of other games. Information is easy to obtain, bwc's goals forward are easy to obtain and shared. Being a member makes you feel equal to every other member in game, no one gets treated any different just because of a rank.

My first impressions withing the first month of starting with BWC

My first impressions?

There's a lot to learn, tons of fun to be had, and no way that'd I'll go back to playing without the BWC.

Why I have stayed with BWC
Gaming simply was more fun and I won more often. It also was this unique feeling in BWC, a group of very professional friends if you want to say so. I thrilled to see that aspect kicking in in Star Citizen, the main game why I joined BWC.

Hey folks,

Let me begin by saying that I can't speak well enough on the quality of folks in this outfit. They literally from day one try to do their best to help you out in whatever you choose as your primary game of choice. For me personally I joined back in January of this year and within the first month was welcomed with open arms while learning many new techniques and strategies that so few will ever master on their own. Yes it is true that you will have a few initial expectations and requirements asked of you to be promoted to full member status. But the folks here work with you to make sure you get those requirements done as soon as possible. Once you are a permanent part of the team and if you have a positive attitude and good intentions you can go far in this outfit.

Simply put the BWC is here to help you be better at your game of choice and most will go out of their way to make sure you have the best techniques and knowledge to keep you on the cutting edge. You can choose to play solo, but why? I guess that style of play will suffice for a spell for some folks, but why choose the aggravation of launching into a game alone when you can drop with a gaming community that has proven themselves time and time again. For me I chose the BWC not because of the well known aspect of it being a hard core gaming community at its core or what some may consider it to be “Elite” in their demeanor, Instead I chose it for the simple reasons that most of the members are disciplined, adventures, and often passionate in their pursuit of teaching you new fundamentals of your game of choice.

What’s even more interesting is that most of the unit has ties with the active or reserve components of the U.S. Military and know how to get the job done. However, do not let the military style roots fool you though as there are plenty of people in the BWC that have never been a part of the service and just want to play with like minded folks who have the knowledge and passion for gaming at its finest and can see similar qualities in people and know that there is strength in numbers. So step up, join up, bring that passion with you, and enjoy the ride in one of the internet’s finest gaming communities.

Bottom line! Never launch into a game without friends... and in this company you will never have to worry about that problem.

One Team, One Fight!

Why I have stayed with BWC.

Always something going on 24/7, very well organized, good attitude among members.
Great Opportunity to develop with training by experienced players.
The right place for me. BWC -> One Team, One Fight!

The structured environment and plethora of training and development opportunities offered in the games supported by BWC provide ongoing opportunities for my play to be enhanced but the main reason I stay is the people - caring, committed and generous.

The environment provided by its members, the fun you have playing and and the actual people that make BWC a successful outfit for more than 10 years is what keep people in BWC and new recruits wanting to join us.

Why did I stay with BWC ?

For so many reasons - great teammates, strong leadership, an actual training program based around the games, merit based promotions, active player base, massive forums, a real life commitment that includes ties to developers and charities, video promos, a history of over 10years, veteran players and, not by any means least, friendship. Enough said ? Should be

Why I have stayed with BWC.


The more time I spend with BWC, the more engrained I become. The closer we become, the more effective we become as a team. It’s perpetual. That’s what draws us deeper into what it means to be a part of BWC.

I know that BWC will be there a week, a month, a year from now. I’ll be taking-out Vanduul raiders in Star Citizen a year from now, with the same friends I’m playing alongside right now. Our skills and training get better and better everyday. Our in-game communications, target spotting, tactics get better with every mission we complete. Win or lose… but usually win

With BWC I feel like I’m building on something, brick by brick. BWC provides you with a ladder to climb. Climbing that ladder is not a requirement, but it is an incentive to better yourself and your gaming experience. Console games these days try to trick us with fake incentives like Trophies and “achievements.” When in reality your getting nothing at all. That trophy is a selfish achievement you show to other people and say, haha look what I’ve got.

At BWC, that medal or ribbon on your jacket says “I fought alongside 20 other fellow BWC members, and we kicked butt!” It’s not about individual capabilities, at BWC we are about teamwork. Sure, you’ll always have your top scorers, and MVPs. But those folks couldn’t have done it without the rest of BWC backing them up.

Ever since Wing Commander and X-wing, I dreamt of playing a game space shooter/simulation with a group of friends. I imagined 4-5 fighters flying escort alongside a powerful capital ship. Maybe 2-3 other support craft in tow. As a part of BWC, not only will this dream come to fruition, it will be a daily part of my Star Citizen experience. Heck, we already have a huge armada waiting to launch when Star Citizen is finally released. Not only will BWC be present in SC, we will be THE force to be reckoned with!

Why I have stayed with BWC.
BWC provides an excellent community for not just gaming but for just chilling and hanging out. One problem I've had in many other guilds/groups that I've joined over the years is that at some point they either fall apart due to political arguing or just fade away after whatever game they're playing gets less exciting. BWC has endured for years so I feel confident that it will be around for a long time.

I’ve been with BWC for almost 4 months now… I’m kicking myself for not having joined sooner! These guys are great! My game has improved tremendously and I feel I have made friends that’ll last me the rest of my life. I’ve stuck with them and will continue to do so. I just couldn’t even think of doing it any other way. BWC. One Team, One Fight… Join us and see what you’ve been missing!

BWC caters to everyone as best as possible. The opportunity to grow, contribute meaningfully, lead and ultimately mentor other leaders are one of the main reasons I've stuck around. This is a place that grows on you, and you ultimately start seeing the unit as your family. Join us, be part of this family.

Why I have stayed with BWC:

Quite simply, I look forward to gaming with them and put in more time than I would otherwise. Friendly, fun and competitive. They have groups across multiple games, so there is ALWAYS something to do. Even just going through their forums is informative and enjoyable. The group has been around for a decade, and should keep going for quite some time.

Organized, a ton of moving parts, and a unique attention to detail around the meta-game. Ways to make membership in BWC about far more than the actual game you were playing were everywhere I looked. That was pretty amazing and after watching it in action for over 30 days I knew it was no fluke and that right then and there, I'd found a home.

I've stayed with the BWC for almost a year now for a variety of reasons.

The main reason that I'm still a part of this great community is just that - it's an amazing community.

Games can come and go, but the BWC will always remain the same. A community that is dedicated to its members and that will go above and beyond for those members.

There's always something going on with the BWC, inside of games or outside of games. Once you start participating, you'll wonder why you didn't find this group 10 years ago.

I love it.

I am staying with BWC for about 8 months now. I do not plan to leave. Within BWC there is plenty more to do than
"just gaming". If you like, you could do trainings and become eventually a leader, for example. There are lots of inhouse
events, training and Operation which let you to experience the game in a completely new way. This is also a great opportunity
to get yourself introduced to new people and make news friends. That's the most important part for me. My BWC friends.

The camaraderie I have spoken of in my past posts is the main thing. I love the military-structure and the training, field training exercises, and operations makes me feel right at home. I love trying to do more for the unit and having a role in my primary game. Leadership is a big deal to me and the BWC is where that can flourish.
