Introduction
Hey guys, I’m a General for a Gaming Community known as Sons of War (SoW), from a Halo-based clan called SoW Genesis GD. Our Community is a structured and respected community within Halo Reach and other online games. We are currently recruiting for our community. If you are a Halo Reach gamer, and are looking for other online gamers to play with, SoW might be the community for you.

  • Community (The Sons of War Community is loaded with members wanting to play with you. As apart of our Honor Code, we highly encourage members to contribute to game with one another. Gaming with clan members leads to simple Promotions)

  • Rank Structure (Within SoW, we have a rank Structure. Each Gaming Division within SoW follows the same Rank Structure and promotion protocols as every Division. Throughout your time in SoW, you will learn what it truly means to be a leader. You may think that it is just for gaming, but it can teach you lessons in life for the future. )

  • Clan Battles (If you are a member from a different community and are looking for a challenge for clan battles, please feel free to also contact me. However, we only wish to play against mature and respected players.)

General of SoW Genesis GD
SoWGaming.net

We are Sons that are Dedicated and Honorable. We are Sons who rely on simple tactics to give us the advantage in combat. We are the Sons that lose brothers in battle, but never lose the War. We are, the Sons of War. Join us, enlist today.

I didn’t want to create a new thread, so I added this post in here.

Our clan, SoW Genesis GD will be hosting a Halo anniversary Matchmaking Lobby on Sunday @ 8:00PM EST. Come and check out how our community games. This is a good time for gamers do learn the new maps for call-outs, power-weapons, and map control basics.

If another community/clan would like to participate in custom matches, please contact me before Sunday. We would enjoy to scrim any clan/community that is mature and respectful. Note that this would not be an official clan match, but rather just friendly customs. If you would like to schedule an actual clan match against this Division (Anniversary Based or not), please feel free to contact me.

Hello, I’m not interested in joining your clan so I’m sorry if I got your hopes up. But I hope you or your leadership (if applicable) will read this or you can pass it on to them.

I am the chief administrator over at HaloHQ a clan networking and tournament website, obviously specifically aimed at Halo based games.

We are not a clan, we are simply a community resource looking to fill a void in the Halo-verse.

HaloHQ is primarily concerned about competitive gaming in Halo. We want to see more teams having clan battles on a more frequent basis.
The philosophy of HaloHQ is, why have a clan if you aren’t willing to battle other clans? Yes, its fun to just raid servers with your friends or clan mates and just dominate, but why not put your teams skills to the real test and battle other teams?
At HaloHQ that is what we are hoping to accomplish. We do host tournaments from time to time, but we are looking to expand upon that.

As the previous leader of a Halo clan I understand the difficulties of not only trying to find a suitable group to have a clan battle with, but finding groups that are interested in having one at all.

Our Mission at HaloHQ is to bring groups together in the spirit of healthy, fair, and fun competition.
To help us do this, we have a verity of HaloHQ Sanctioned Events and Programs

> * A collective Clan Database of active Halo clans
> *Multitude of Clan and Individual activities including:
> Screen Shot Contests
> Forge Map Contests
> Top 50 Clan/Community Websites
> Tournaments
> *Clan forums available
> *Clan Recruitment opportunities
> *And of course the ability to meet and speak with other clans and leaders of clans.

We do have stipulations for clans looking to join the Clan Database:

> *Who ever is posting the information must be a leader or co-leader of the organization.
> *Your clan must have a website or other web based community.
> *You must have at least 5 active members.
> *Clan must be active for no less than 3 months

Individuals are welcome to check us out as well as we will be hosting FFA tournaments and the Screen Shot Contests are all judged individually.

If you want your team to be apart of this and we very much hope that you do, please visit our website http://halohq.enjin.com for more information and the complete details on how to get added to the HaloHQ Clan Database.

Sounds like a great interest Rooster, thank you. I’ll be sure to check it out. and yes, if you are wondering I am an Official Leader within my SoW community.

This current gamertag (SoW Hades XS) is my General tag for my Genesis GD. My main account is actually (SoW Mackie IX) and that tag holds my Council Leader rank, the highest within SoW Community. Why a General then? Because I believe that a real clan leader should be involving themselves with the community, rather then just sitting it back and supervising it.

Anyways, I’ll be sure to check out HaloHQ.

Hi all,

I want to quickly share my story. I have been playing Halo for a while now but slowly all my friends moved on to other games. I found my self playing alone all the time. what’s the point of knowing call out when you play alone?

I was approached by SoW Hades XS who was very friendly. He explained everything to me and shared his website for all the details ( http://sowgaming.net/ ).

Now I was thinking to my self a clan… that’s not me, However I decided to go for it. I mean what do I have to loose. The only thing I care about is having friends on EVRYTIME I log in to xbox live.

After a few weeks I got promoted to a Corporal and my friend list is full of people that are online every day. I learned new call outs and jumps that helped me play better. It didn’t matter who I asked for help no one disrespected me or made fun of me. We are here to help each others.

Add me on xbox live Heartcore Ninja if you want to join or even if you want to play. We play Arena, MLG, Sniper’s, customs, everything.

@ SoW

Hey, I’m not interested in joining any clans at the moment, but I was wondering if your group would like to scrimmage my friends and me sometime using 4v4 MLG settings. Thanks.

My gamertag: Itaniium

@ Rooster

My friends and I don’t meet the requirements for HaloHQ but I would still like to scrimmage (clan battle) the members of HaloHQ because, among other things, we’re not a clan. We’re looking for more clans/teams to play against, rather than against 4 individuals in matchmaking. It would be great if you could get me the names of clan leaders or something so I can scrimmage them. Thanks.

Just want to let everyone know, we are still actively recruiting. Feel free to add or message me for more info. I’ve been a member for a lil over a month, and it’s great. Mature, friendly people, and a great gaming enviroment. And never have to play alone again. I’ve been on at all hours and there is always someone on. So if you’re looking for a great community to be a part of, you’ve found it!

Hey guys. Wanted to give this thread a bump and share a bit of my experience with SoW. My story is similar to Heartcore Ninja. I love Halo Reach (all Halos) for that matter and pretty much played by myself for the first year I owned the game. I do not even have to get into how frustrating it can be to play with complete randoms.

I never really liked the idea of a clan either with ranks and “leaders” and the like. After meeting a few SoW members and playing some games with them decided that I would give it a try. Right away I realized what I thought I “knew” about clans was either just plain wrong or this clan was different. Either way it has been the most enjoyable experience I have had since I bought the game.

The leaders are all very knowledgeable about the game and are not over-bearing like you may find in other clans. We have meetings and practices weekly and play online everyday. We try to have clan matches every week as well. Like I said before, it has been the most fun I have had with Reach since I bought the game in October. If you are looking for mature gaming that focuses on getting better and working together SoW is definitely something to look into. Thanks! -Lord Crizoc
