To the membership of {MOB},

Over these last few days I have enjoyed playing on your server with you. I do not know all of you or even most of you, but you guys seem like good people to compete with. Thank you for the hospitality you have shown me. I have also noticed on your roster that you guys all fall within the same age group as our clan, which is good thing. As I was browsing the ladder and judging by dates it looks like the next match after this could very well be the big match. If only we could predict the outcome of the match now then it would be a relief. Of course that is, if we successfully win our next match against the Black Hats. They are also a good team and our last match was close.

I am sure in the past that you guys go through the same thing we do when the matches are done and the comments start to come out. What I do not want to see, and want to avoid is the two best teams in the game contributing to it. I guess thats most of the reason for posting this morning. Possibly, as I have been doing, we can show up on one anothers server to start getting to know each other. The idea does sound intresting to play a match that neither team knows how the other plays, but not sure if it will do any good for post-game comments. I do not know how many of you have Spearhead, but we would like to invite you guys to join our server and play anytime. Our server IP is 216.93.173.46. We run the MPSH 3.1 realism and a 28 client server which is really smooth most of the time. The same courtesy you have showed me the last few days our members will return to you.

Thanks,
The =C O M= Team

Catchy topic huh? Also, some humor for you. As a joke we have been saying that our name stands for: =Come On MOB=

Thanks Bouncer for the offer. A lot of =COM= guys are on our servers and it is always good respectful competition.

Cypher

Hopefully the match you speak of can take place. We have to clear DMG first then we will see. Thanks for the post and come by the servers anytime you can.

The only match that we have ever had a "comment" about was the first time we played the 7th Rangers....for obvious reasons.

We are often on the receiving end of allot of bullshit as I'm sure you guys are as well....how does the old saying go, 'If you cant beat them, bitch like a woman'

Look forward to getting to know your guys, and our inevitable meeting on the battle field

ROFL

We both know we will be meeting up in the future and we are both looking forward to it. It's been a long time coming for both clans and only time stands in the way of us meeting for sure.

Our match date is set on the 2nd, same as you guys. Theres no doubt if everything goes our ways that we will all be having some good competition shortly after.

Trip out, I was browsing about some of the new expansion pack...Breakthrough. I see the demo is being released in three weeks. Also the full release is scheduled Sept. 22. You guys looking forward to it?

Just saying hi to all the MOB, and looking forward to some good competition!

oh yeah, I think Brandi is the only COM member I have talked too and she or he made you guys seem like a good group. I see we both have a win streak of 8...hmmmm...this could get real interesting.


Clan

Just wanted to stop by and say howdy to all the MOB members...

Bouncer after talking to you the other night on the server about the early days when we all played on the S4R server. I started thinking about what a huge impact playing on the S4R server had on me.
I've always had a high opinion of 75th, COM & IW because I remember playing and sometimes losing to members of each clan long before their was rampant cheating like there is now. Back then when someone played well, you left the server will a feeling of respect for them. Now with the rampant cheating, when someone plays well, you leave the server wondering if the person was cheating. It's sad when you think about it.
Most likely I wouldn't even be in MOB right now if it wasn't for Oppersion, who I also spent time playing with on S4R, asking me to join.

I hope the new expansion pack will add much needed life to AA. Then maybe in another year we can chat again about the good old days playing AA.

Your right, and for the most part it has killed the game. I still find myself playing everyday or every other day, but I cant play longer than a round or two and Im done. I really dont know if its because the maps just get old after a while or cheating has gotten so bad that its just not fun. I mean look at it like this, here both teams are very good teams. How often do you hear somebody accusing of cheating? Rather than being rewarded because we all play well...at times all we do is hear people bitch and whyne. Everyone wants to throw out claims based on assumptions and it just gets old I guess. There is some humor out of it though. Thats the people that talk about stuff they have no clue what it means in the first place; rumors. I have heard some funny things about technical issues or just admin issues that crack me up. I think the real problem is EA. I once read somewhere about the fact of cheating and game sales. The fact that I had read was that "cheating" sells and was statistically proven. I guess it makes sense when I really think about it. Why wouldnt svpure been working back with Allied Assault or why woudnt the game be released with client side software already installed for matches and easy Admin support for security.

The S4R days were fun. I remember being a newb to this game and stuck in the MOHWest 3 or was it MOHEast 3? Anyway it was something like that. I had no idea what realism was all about or even heard of it. I only knew at the time that using a MG sucked and began sniping. I also only had a 56k modem back then and wasnt always fun. Still the game was intresting so I kept playing. After all that time with a Sniper rifle I guess thats why I can snipe ok today. Then came finding out about ASE cause I hated Gamespy. I was able to modify the search for servers. Somehow I ended up on the S4R servers and was amazed how people die so fast. After hearing people chat after a while and looking into the term Realism....I switched to a mg just to see if I could kill faster. WOW, I was having a blast with that and people were dropping like flies. The one thing I hated was when the 75th was on the server together. Not literally but they used to spawn kill the shit out of everyone including me. Here I was thinking "back to newb school again." As time goes on playing against them and knowing the maps well....progress starts to begin. I remember the chat messages people would tell them back then about spawn kiling and stuff. In all honesty I recall breaking a monitor over them cause I got so mad. Now here I am spawn killing and making people want stay on the other side of the map or better yet....making them refuse to play on the opposite team..lol....sure each one of us has witnessed it for themselves of course.

Ahh yes, the art of spawn killing. It is enjoyable. The ones who complain about it are the ones who refuse and try to get out of it. Any decent player can rid an area of spawn killers. But instead people would rather bitch and moan. This is my argument for the beauty of spawn killing.

Check this out, I found on Moh-Central an interview with Dave Rosen the Production Manager for Breakthrough. Turns out Spearhead will be compatible with it.


So what does the Breakthrough expansion consist of?

Rosen: There are 11 single-player missions. It's North Africa to Italy. So Kasserine Pass, Sicily and Monte Battaglia. It's got nine new multiplayer maps and a new multiplayer mode called Liberation mode.

Similar to Medal of Honor: Allied Assault and expansion Spearhead, we're aiming for an equal balance between single-player and multiplayer.

Can you give us a few more details on Liberation mode?

Rosen: When players on your team are killed they go into a jail and then you have to hit a trigger in a level to release them. So it creates a cool dynamic, guarding the trigger versus going out and fighting people.

Once one entire team is in jail at the same time, that ends the scenario.

What new weapons and character skins feature?

Rosen: There are a lot of new Italian skins and weapons, and some new British and German ones as well. We felt that with the Spearhead expansion there were a lot of new Allied characters and weapons but not a lot for the Axis, so we're trying to balance that.

We understand that we'll get to drive vehicles in Breakthrough...?

Rosen: This is right near the start of the campaign [points to the screen while someone is playing it] and at this point he's riding in a tank. There are points when you drive a tank.

Because it's North Africa, obviously tanks and vehicles were heavily involved in those battles. Part of what this franchise is all about, something that's important to us, is historical accuracy, so we couldn't really give people the feel of being in North Africa if they didn't get to drive a tank.

So in single-player Breakthrough you'll be driving tanks more than in the past.

Once he gets through this initial combat area [points at screen again] he'll get to a tank. Breakthrough just went alpha this week, and it's not well balanced yet so it's tough to get through the first level.

Will Breakthrough owners still be able to play those who don't own it online?

Rosen: For multiplayer online you can play against anyone who's running the basic Medal Of Honor: Allied Assault and/or Spearhead.

Breakthrough will be compatible with Spearhead, and of course you'll need the original Allied Assault to play it - but you don't need Spearhead to play it.

Will Breakthrough meet its release date?

Rosen: Yep, it's due out in September.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I dont know but the thought of it being compatible with Spearhead puts some doubt about this expansion pack. I had heard that Spearhead wasnt, which sounded good, until I read that. Seems wierd how this would work also. If you have a Breakthrough server running and have Spearhead maps listed then what about those who never bought Spearhead? Are they assed out? Will Breakthrough come with Spearhead maps? I guess we have to just wait and see. Right about now I want to spawn kill EA.

thanks for the update man....I was hopeing that they would include an M1-Carbine in it, but the way they are talking it does not sound promising for that

The part about driving a tank is what scares me. If they are trying to incorprate that into the multiplayer, it's going to be bad.
Looking back on history, if it has a Sept. release date the bugs should be taken care of by Nov.

EA is the evil empire.

Ahh yes.... the grand old days of the S4R realism servers. I remember racing home from work and repeatedly trying to get on one of those two servers. Several friends and I would be on wilco and if one of us got into the server we would tell the others "connect! hurry someone just dropped" But usually you could get in when snowy came around cause no one wanted to play that one. Those were the days when people got killed and they would reply "good shot" now I think that too many people have "hacker!" bound on their key board. Just takes the fun out of spawn killing them, well maybe after about 3 maps of spawn killing them into oblivion.

As for the new expansion pack, I just hope they do a better job then they did with Spearhead.

Hey Druid, you know how you can tell when a person has been playing this game to damn long? When they can say they use to play on the S4R servers. LOL. I think I even remember the last octnet of the IP's were 173 and 174...

Remember how S4R suffered from the weird glitch that made it were you couldn't shoot through the rails? The 75th was the 1st team I ever saw who made Remagen an Axis spawn killing map instead of an allied spawn killing map.
Cleaner always took a position behind the railing on the second floor of the corner house over looking the axis side of the map. The damn guy was impossible to kill because he would pop-up shoot and duck back down behind the railing. After getting killed by him for the 1000th time. I spent 20 minutes practicing chucking grenades from behind the wall, out of his line of fire, to the balcony he camped on.
The next time I played the map with him, I just sat there chucking nades whenever he got on the balcony. He went from a 60/10 score to a 20/20 score.
Needless to say, I went to bed with a huge smile on my face that night. Even though my score sucked, I was so proud of my noob self for killing him and forcing him to move off the balcony.

It's funny the things you remember from this game.

LMAO, the Firefight Arena still has that problem after all this time.

Yep, standing in the axis spawn and all you hear is the wind or the zing then another death. Respawn and same thing, over and over again. I remember also a lot of people accused them of fixing up the rails like that.

I used to have an effective way of getting cleaner off that railing. I would sit way back and use a sniper rifle. I would put the crosshairs just above the railing and in line with his head. As soon as he would pop up I would fire. Took me a while to get the timing down but when I did watch out. the balcony was mine! LOL

Is there still a FireFight Arena?
I thought it and the 75th went the way of the dinosaurs.

I remember when they opened FireFight, Cleaner was pissed about the rail problem because he knew it would bring cheats accusasions. I talked to him several times about it and we never figured out why it happened.

They are still around just under a new name. They had some problems with between themselves and most of the core of the 75th went with Cleaner. He could fill you in on the details. I dont think they would appreciate me doing it. They are called |ONE| Team now. I believe thier site is The |ONE| Team Cleaner doesnt play much from what I have heard and when he does hes a rocket man. This I have witnessed...lol. I talked to him about week ago, he was on our server tearing people up with the smg. I think he was looking into the idea of moving servers or changing ISP's

Cleaner and many of the origional 75th'ers split to form their own clan, |ONE|. The Firefight is and was owned by Cleaner, and it continues to be an active server. The IP is 66.151.132.149 and yes he still has the solid balconies.

If he moved from one ISP to another and still has the same problem cause most likely Ilan gave them a fresh install. Then it has to be something that he keeps with the server as a mod that is doing this. Either that or its one hell of a coinsidence.

HI people, im from =C O M= and i am just say hello to {MOB}.
ive been playing on your server and i can tell u guys that it is very good, congratulations.

I don't know about you guys but when I think of 'Old School' I think of SherdCo. server and chasing RealDeal around with my M1 ....oh ya and hiding from Oppression...oh and I cant forget Old Man the thorn in my side that he is

LOL... Shredco... now that definitely reminds me of the old days....
I used to HATE you Nixon!

Who didn't?

"I am not a Crook"

The S4R servers were awesome...a lot of the guys that I played with there are in IW now...we talk about the kevlar railings all the time.

The guys that were in the 75th were close friends with the adm but he refused to ever apply the mapfixes. Nobody knew why.

I thought that was the ultimate realism until I played FK's version...

Cy

If I remembering correctly. BlackBart use to be apart of the 75th back then.


Damn I need a spell checker. I edit too much....lol

Yep BlackBart and WhereArtThou left the 75th at the same time.
I tried to recruit both of them for MOB, but they weren't interested.
I think they both left under bad circumstances much like what caused Daz and Cleaner to go their separate ways.

S.E.B use to also be apart of the 75th and we recruited him after. Real briefly, Cleaner was the one that actually started =C O M=. At first D@z had asked me into joinging the 75th but he disappeared for a while then one day Cleaner asked me into helping get =C O M= started. Then I stood with it ever since. The first name we had was NOC ,but then we learned there was already a clan named and had a cheating reputation. When that was found out we searched many different sites looking for abbreviations that sounded good under military. After hours of searching he said what about COM then it was about how would we show it. Til this day we have not actually defined the meaning of it. We had at one point said because of our run and gun attitudes that it stood for Come On MotherF$@!ers, but it was jokingly.

To avoid them criticizing me on it. Cleaner, at the time, also asked Meatwagon and Oucher....then Brandi to lead.

That guy, old man... He's been around a few of our servers. That guy was pretty good, but I only ever seemed to see him on staligrad.


Are we thinking of the same old man? Probably not.

I may be wrong but I think our "old man" has always gone by the name"little old man"

From what I have seen so far...you guys have good attitude and show others respect. You guys also have good skill in the game and play well as a team.
I wish I could see the outcome of the match now and get it over with. Theres a good chance I could regret this, but hopefully you can see this as humor as I do.
Come Aug 13th @ approx 8pm PST, I'm hating every single one of you for about an hour . After that hour is up and regardless of the outcome... I hope we can all be allied affiliates of one another. I have only one thing in mind to leave you guys come that day.....FUBAR
Somebodies gotta kick it off ....lol


Disregard this post or delete it, if you see it anything other than humor. Thanks!

Even the friendliest of competition involes a certain amount of hatered

Dont worry.....during the match you will not hear any praise from MOB, just allot of

After the match is a totally different story, we have never had any trouble with any clan as long as it was a clean, and fairly played match, which I have no doubt in my mind we will have.

SO good luck and lets have some fun
