Thread: Intro / Why I'm Here

Howdy.

Just wanted to say hi and give a small little introduce to myself. I'm Kanati8869 (in both BF2 and 2142 and now also in CoD4). I've been a battlefield player since the day the 1942 wake island multiplayer demo came out back in august of 2002. I haven't been clanned up in quite a while but I'm eyeballing a couple on TTP. My last clan was Area51 some years ago on 1942.

I played BFV when it came out and BF2 was my vice of choice for quite a while. And when 2142 came out, it too ate up a significant amount of my free time. But I eventually moved on and hadn't played a BF game in quite a while.

Then, while holed up in a hotel in Dodge City last month, I watched Hamburger Hill and got to thinking "I need to break out BFV again. That was a good game..." And the addiction is back. There wasn't nearly as many servers as I remembered and there were a number of servers running server side map mods that I found intriguing. But it was just a gateway drug that led me back to 2142 and BF2.

So I started looking for a watering hole I could call home. One of the reasons I stopped playing was that squadding up was never what I thought it should be most of the time. People either wouldn't squad up at all, or they would and there would be little, to no cooperation between members. Or they would squad up and go their separate ways. WTF!? But when I came back (it's been almost 2 years since my last BF2 medal... egad...) one of the first servers I dropped in on was TTP. And immediately joined a squad led by elkhartadam and I was inundated with real, honest to goodness, teamwork inspired orders and strategies. "HOLD SPAWN ON MY ORDERS!!" OMFG. This is what I've been wanting since day one. I joined a few more squads and it was the same. Communication... cooperation... it was a whole new game almost.

There's times I like to go rogue or lone wolf... but you can see from my stats that most of my time is spent squadded up. And this server has the most consistently good squadwork I've ever seen.

So TTP's server hooked me... Elk's squad leadership set the hook and it's going to keep me here. Awesome server, guys. If I'd known about you guys sooner I would have never quit playing.

Welcome to the servers. As long as you squad up here, and follow orders you will always have a home. You definitely picked the right place to call home

Man, all that, and you only met Elk. Wait til you meet some people that actually know how to do something other than destroy entire squads with nothing but a knife.

Glad you found the best Teamplaying community there is. Might i suggest a reserved slot?

next payday i'm going to do just that (reserved slot that is)...

And I've seen a number of guys that are obvious regulars. Hoodamunk... a few of the phx guys (drak1970 comes to mind)... I've seen you too civilwars if I remember right.

Welcome.. Yeah Elk's a good SL if you like that whole organized, have a plan thing :P

And don't forget to visit the future, we have cookies! Welcome aboard.
