{MOH} is three and a half years old...whoa.

I was looking back and I noticed that {MOH} is officially three and a half years old. This is a lifetime for a gaming clan and or community. It's not like the clan has ever been on life support or struggling either, we've pretty much always been active and together. I know of some clans that have "Technically" been together longer, but those clans either aren't competitive or have totally different leaders and members by now.

I think of the most unique and interesting things about this clan is we pretty much have all the same leaders, minus a few. We have been able to keep a large team and keep everyone relatively happy. It's so difficult to cater to all the different personalities in a gaming clan, it really is in large part thanks to all the great leaders and the members themselves in the clan.

One of the things that I think is really helping us is the fact that we are generally an older clan, most are 18 years of ago or older, the younger ones are pretty mature and that is a must in my opinion. Also, even though we have older players, I know and the other leaders know that it's always a smart idea to recruit the next great wave and generation of players. In the beginning it was always me and Snipes and the other long term guys that had to always play in every match, now I hardly play in anything serious, while the newer guys help take the clan to victories.

Proper recruiting is an important part, for every one single, loyal recruit we get, we have to go through probably five or six recruits. I am always up front and honest with people. {MOH} might not be the right clan for you, if people are looking strictly to rank up on Gamebattles or be a leader in the clan right away then this definitely isn't the right clan for you. We have people who have been here for years and aren't yet leaders.

When you think back to the sheer amount of games we've been active on and on the different consoles it's mind blowing.

Playstation 2
1.Star Wars Battlefront 2
2.Battlefield 2 Modern Combat

Playstation 3
1.COD4
2.COD WAW
3.COD MW2
4.COD B.O.
5.Killzone 2
6.Resistance 2

And I'm proud to announce we'll be fielding a team on Killzone 3 and possibly Resistance 3.

XBox 360
1.COD4-Achieved Playoffs in 2009
2.COD WAW
3.COD MW2-Beat five top fifty teams in our first season
4.COD B.O.-Already beat two top fifty teams
5.Halo 3
6.Gears Of War
7.Left 4 Dead-Finished in the top 50 our first and only season



That's a lot of games on a lot of consoles, the best part is, combined we have a winning percentage of around 700% on all these games, I think this makes us the most successful clan ever to star from Star Wars Battlefront 2. Were consistent and we've done everything from go to the Playoffs to being sponsored by people and gaming sites. We've managed to do all of this without really busting balls to try hard. We don't practice everyday, we don't no life the games, we are just a group of people who are used to playing together and have solid chemistry and natural talent and it really shows. Were never really out of any match, we give people more then they can handle and that's important to me. Going the distance against great teams is such a confidence booster. I can still remember on Modern Warfare 2 on Xbox 360 we played Team Fear and Barely lost to them 2-1. Same with ATR, we lost 2-1 and actually had the lead on the final map with less then one minute to go.

The things I look back on and remember the most are the early Star Wars Battlefront 2 wins and of course our epic COD4 playoff run where we won all those matches in a row. Really though I am thankful and happy about the cool people in the clan, really a lot of those people have grown and matured and it's been a joy to see.

Maybe we weren't always the most well liked clan or the most respected, but we didn't take shit from anyone and I don't regret a single thing about any of it. Looking back to when I left Merc all those years and I was so unsure if I could even run a clan and now I realize how successful we've been I still cant believe it.

I think the moment I realized we made it big was when people, mostly haters started trying to find flaws in what we were doing, jealousy and envy are two poor characteristics and we've had our fair share of haters. I think the thing that pisses off these types of people the most is the fact that we can poke fun at ourselves and laugh along with you, were not uptight or afraid to laugh. If someone makes something funny or does something to us that I find entertaining, I'll most likely post it up on our site.

You cant keep us down, no matter what happens, We'll endure.
