Want your opinions/experiences regarding clans!

If you’ve never been in a clan or don’t like them, this post is not for you; stop reading now.

So, I’ve been with Halo clans for four+ years now and have plenty of experience myself. However, I’m curious about your opinions and experiences regarding clans. I have a set of questions I’d like you to answer about what you’ve seen in your clan career, if you have a moment. Feel free to answer with as much or as little info as you want, or skip some questions entirely; this is about you. If you choose to answer, then thank you for your time. Your input will be quite useful.

Military-based clans are pretty much dead. They are lead by 12 year olds who only want to win, even if it means making unfair maps and gametypes. Also, none of the leaders actually care about their members. It really seems like the main reason why people recruit for their clan is to gain respect, and to make these newcomers lower than them. I mean seriously, it’s sad enough that your clan can’t play competitively, but making random people bow down to you and listen to every order you say?

Sorry man, military-based teams are not for me, but there are many competitive clans out there that are looking to take the championships.
Right now, the main threat in Halo 5’s competitive clan system is going to be Legacy Nation. They have many legendary members who are at a professional caliber, and they are very experienced. However, it seems like LN is having trouble getting members that are as good as the ones that they had in their prime. Seems to me like LN might actually die off when Halo 5 comes out if they don’t recruit soon.

No other competitive clans are even worth mentioning right now. Navcom is a crowd favorite, even though their team has been completely demolished by many different teams that have lost to LN. The UNR and other large military clans will keep role playing and wasting each other’s times.

Oh well, that’s up to them.

I personally have never seen the point in military and role-playing clans… Competitive communities are good for skilled players, but those usually come with big egos and heavy trolling. I think a community focused on casual gaming, but also encourages competition, is the way to go.

THAT MUCH.

What kind of clans? Military-based, competitive, or other? What games?:

FTG and UFG were Social, All the rest were Military.

Think of your favorite clan you’ve ever been in. How did they run things? How were they organized? What makes them your favorite? (if info is sensitive, this question is optional):
FTG was my Favourite, they had excellent Leadership before February 2013 and ran things like most Social Clans do. I ranked up and down several times in it for different reasons and got most of my Clan experience in it. Though i remember hearing those stories about DHG’s beginning from FTG months before i joined and even was there for other times. (the time FTG Godfather left us, the consolidation of VR and SK Divisions, FTG Semper Fi’s uprising and downfall (which led to the creation of NGC), i was also there when i heard a bunch of DR Div Members left to form KOS, thought that was stupid. I left for not only personal reasons but i also felt that FTG wasnt the entire Clan experience for me when i heard about Military Clans from alfinator.

FTG in the end, was OK.

How did you feel when engaged in a clan battle? (Excited, nervous, tense, focused, etc.):
My first Clan battle in the USSR under stardestroyer96 was…well…hell. stardestroyer at the time was a terrible clan leader but i atleast got the jist of what Military Clans were about, this was the time Forgotten Soldiers were allied with some “Legion” clan and tried to take our fort, it was fun sniping FS members, they sucked.

What got you into clans? Why do you (or why did you) stay in them?:
i got into FTG becuase i simply wanted something to do. Playing Reach all day with hardly any friends to play with was boring so i decidded one day i will join a clan again after i swore back in the Halo 3 days i would not join another clan until the Phoenix Clan rose again under daredevilblade.
What makes a good clan in your opinion?:
Having a strong Leader who knows what they are doing is first, those with less than a Year of Clan experience should not I REPEAT SHOULD NOT attempt to run a Clan unless they are being advised by someone with a year or more of experience. Having priper Clan Structure is Good. (Good Rules, Ranks, etc)
What do you think of clan assassinations?:
Kind of a -Yoink- deal but they dont stop me from running my clan, no matter how many times i get assassinated i will continue to run my clan.
What do you think of some clans utilizing hacks, such as account banning or DDOSing, for what they see as just purposes?:
Those clans need to perish and die like the rest, the community needs to be fair.
What signifies victory in a clan war to you? How does one clan beat another? (Not a battle, a war):
When the Other Clan Leader sends me a defeat message. Simple as that.
What motivations, reasons, or justifications should a clan have for going to war with another clan?:

  • Their Black Ops Assassinates you or another one of your Higher Ups.
  • Their Members kill any of your Members on any of your Maps.
  • They Threaten more than 2 times with War.
  • They Raid any number of my members without organizing it as a Practice Raid
  • They go to war with your Ally.
    What was the most challenging battle you’ve ever had, and why was it so?:
    With a Terrible Clan Leader named DHG LAX. (Got soo many pictures of him being assassinated he is no longer a threat ever)
    NSC had a war with him and we could not get into his base, he had a Mantis just outside our spawn.
    Don’t mention names, but think of the hardest opponent you’ve ever faced. Maybe not in battle, but on a political or psychological level. What made them so difficult?:
    DHG LAX. He is soo stubborn and politically limited i laughed at his attempts to control me soo many times its funny to this day. It frustrated me during a time but i got over it since i cant beat him at being stupid.
    Last question: Any other experiences, observations, thoughts, tips or suggestions that you wish to share with other clan players?:

No, people will discover for themselves what the clan community is about. If they pick right, they can get in with good Leaders.

How long have you been playing Halo?:
I started Playing Halo 2 and Halo 3 in 2009. So 6 years.

I’ve been apart of a number of intelligence organizations since 2011. 3 of which I started. (These aren’t counted as clans, but as 3rd parties)
Clan Total: 23
Founded: 7 of 23
Achieved the rank of Officer in: 14 of the 16 clans that I did not found. (Of the 16 times I achieved an Officer/NCO rank, 14 of them I joined the clan as a recruit.)
Achieved an NCO rank in: 2 of the 2 clans that I did not become an officer in, or found.

Of the 23 clans I’ve been apart of, I’ve only been demoted once. It was when I was in the United Nations, and A CL OverLord the National Guard leader demoted me because I had mistakenly killed an NCO while I was in a banshee during a 1 on 1 combat scenario. The demotion was then revoked a few hours later.

Think of your favorite clan you’ve ever been in. How did they run things? How were they organized? What makes them your favorite? (if info is sensitive, this question is optional):
It’s a 3 way tie between the United Factions, United Nations, and the United Nations Republic.
All of them were military based clans, all of them were extremely organized. The UF is in my top 3 favorites because the clan was running in early 2011, in a time when if you selected Big Team Battle in Matchmaking it said their were 100k+ players online. That clan had 250-300 clan members, the structure was built around having hundreds of members and when I was a Major I was directly responsible for 50 members. To get promoted, you had to recruit and be respectful, and active. Hence our large numbers. We had everything you could imagine from Forge Teams, to Intelligence divisions, to special forces. Everything was covered, and I really enjoyed my time in the United Factions. I could honestly talk about it, and tell you much more but that would probably take me an hour or two so I’ll leave you with that. (Leader: Beefymuffin)

I loved the ranking system in the United Nations, the rank to emblem was brilliantly thought out and worked beautifully. All you had to know, is if someone had an emblem on that you haven’t already worn, you would know they were higher than you. We always had full lobbies plus 7 or 8 other members playing reach. When I joined their National Guard I was voted in by the other NG members as the second in command. I served directly under A CL Overlord. I also conducted research projects for GeneralJB172, which included many classified air weaponry, and ground artillery. It was a great clan, and I was torn when it ended. (Leaders: ShadowSniper172 + GeneralJB172)

Last but not least, the United Nations Republic lead by the famous LingLing Killer. I merged my clan into the UNR and helped start it up in late 2012, The UNR was a strict military based clan, and I loved every moment of it. I grew so much in that clan, and learned a lot. The organization in that clan was beyond anything I had ever experienced. Though, I am not going to talk about the UNR’s structure, nor how they achieved such high levels of organization as well that doesn’t need to be shared.(Though I am sure they have upgraded) Will (LingLing Killer) had his fare share of bad decisions, but I felt he was always understanding of me, and wanted everyone to “belong” in the clan as it was “our clan”. (Leader: LingLing Killer)

How did you feel when engaged in a clan battle? (Excited, nervous, tense, focused, etc.):
Focused and Excited for sure.

What got you into clans? Why do you (or why did you) stay in them?:

My first clan was WASP, and it was my only “fun” clan I’ve ever been apart of. I joined it because I wanted to make some friends, and see what we could do with a clan. I stayed for a little while, until I started to grow apart from the clan and I wanted to explore something different.

What makes a good clan in your opinion?:

Experienced Leadership, Loyal Members, and a well thought out structure.

I had to write this up in two responses, as the maximum characters were reached. (11,564/7500)

What do you think of clan assassinations?:
I’m not to sure about this one, I mean I’ve been assassinated at least 20 times in the last 5 years and have had at least 50 failed attempts on my life. I do care if I get assassinated, because it brings so much joy to others. I think the idea behind it is fine, though some people who say “If you assassinate the clan leader, their clan has to end” are completely absurd and take it to far.

What do you think of some clans utilizing hacks, such as account banning or DDOSing, for what they see as just purposes?:
I think it’s nothing but childish, and immature. Anyone or clan that has to go to that kind of level to win a battle, raid or argument obviously know they can’t win on fair ground. They should immediately be disregarded, and honestly no one should even pay attention to them. If you do, you are feeding the troll under the bridge.

What signifies victory in a clan war to you? How does one clan beat another? (Not a battle, a war):
When the enemy clan sends me a message "The (Their clan name here) Surrenders to (My clan name here). Usually whatever clan outwits, and out battles, the other clan is the one that wins. You can see a prime example of this, if you go to YouTube and search SGC Halo Clan. Then find the video that says “UNSF Surrenders to SGC”

What motivations, reasons, or justifications should a clan have for going to war with another clan?:
-Poaching of members
-Unauthorized usage of ones maps
-Harassment of a clan
-Excessively being fired upon by a foreign clan (Often times during a raid)
-Assassination of a high official
It is different for each clan, nearly all clans will go to war with you if you do any of the above, plus a few others.
However there are a few clans, like mine StarGate Command which doesn’t immediately act if one of the above happens. Example. The UNSF poached our members, stole my maps, harassed me and my members and I still didn’t think we would be in the right to Declare War on them. Though it did turn out they declared war on us. (See our YouTube channel to find out about that, if your interested. Search SGC Halo Clan)

What was the most challenging battle you’ve ever had, and why was it so?:
I actually have two. The first one was when I was a Lieutenant Colonel in NavCom I raided a clan called Onyx (Lead by Toxic Mist) for 10 hours straight, with Capt T Lasky, and other NavCom personnel. We started the raid around 9:00pm, and I left the raid at 7:00am. The hardest part was trying to stay awake and keep myself occupied as the map was an open map with spawns all over forge world. With multiple outposts. We declared Montana as the base, and kept it for hours upon hours. The entire raid lasted 12 hours, and was ended around 9:00am when Onyx forces ended the game. Also, the only weapons on the map were Assault Rifels, DMRs, Magnums, and 1 grenade launcher.

The second most challenging battle i’ve ever took part in was when I was apart of the United Fleet Federation. (Lead by General Chariot) It was during my first time in the UFF, we were raiding the LOD. (Lead by Juicy Parrot) It took place on Halo 4, and was on that space map. We spawned on one side of an asteroid, and there was a long wall coliseum bridge with very few cover pieces connecting it to the other large asteroid. The LOD fort was outfitted with Gauss Warhogs, Banshees, and all of the power weapons times 5. After walking through a door in the front of the base, you were teleported to a large jail cell in the center of the fort. The cell had a custom abilitie to wear you were invisible, and could not kill anyone nor kill yourself. I was stuck in that jail cell with 4 of my members for 11 hours. While the LOD were laughing at is, and trash talking us while they stood on their walls. The hardest part was knowing, we were surrounded by a bunch of trolls and their was nothing we could do but wait. If one of us went in active for more than 10 minutes they would be able to remove that member from the game for inactivity. If we left the game, or spot would be taken. There was no way out, but for them to kick us from the game or end it.
The kicked us from the game after 11 hours and claimed they had won because we didn’t take the base. Did I say that jail cell was located INSIDE of their base? We technically held it for 10 hours, and were kicked while the base was held by both clans.
I’ve been spawn killed thousands of times, for hours on end, but these ones were by far the hardest.

Don’t mention names, but think of the hardest opponent you’ve ever faced. Maybe not in battle, but on a political or psychological level. What made them so difficult?:
That’s a good question, and I’d love to give you an answer but I can’t think of anyone.

Last question: Any other experiences, observations, thoughts, tips or suggestions that you wish to share with other clan players?:
Listen too those who have the most credible experience, and don’t make the same mistakes they did.

How long have you been playing Halo?:
Since I was 7 believe it or not back in 2003 back on the old Halo 1
How long have you taken part in clans?:
I’ve been taken part in clans since November 20th 2012
How many clans have you been a member of?:
3
What kind of clans? Military-based, competitive, or other? What games?:

  1. TFA - Competitive - Halo: Reach
  2. UNR - Military - Halo: Reach/Halo 4/Halo 5
  3. DC - Competitive - Halo: Reach/Halo 4
    Think of your favorite clan you’ve ever been in. How did they run things? How were they organized? What makes them your favorite? (if info is sensitive, this question is optional):
    The United Nations Republic is for ever my favourite clan I’ve ever been in. Like what TriadBrush said, I cannot say the structure all I can say is that we are very secretive. We don’t trust anyone easily as they’re kids out there who are very childish with assassinations and it is very easy for clans to gather information by sending spies then ruining our system.
    But what makes this clan my favourite is the members and the goal. I have served UNR for a few years now and I am proud to lift up our banner with our motto
    ‘Fortune Favours the Brave’.
    How did you feel when engaged in a clan battle? (Excited, nervous, tense, focused, etc.):
    At first I was nervous because I’m a competitive player and usually do my own thing. When we had a friendly clan battle (this was my first ever battle) I was nervous because I wanted to show my skills and not be cocky so I listened to the leader of UNR (LingLing Killer) and told me to get into the Mantis. I’m not so good in vehicles believe it or not so I got roasted after about 2 minutes into the game but I pulled my weight as a footsoldier and was starting to rack up kills and capturing flags. From then on, I was excite for anything a clan had to throw at us. (Sorry if I was sounding cocky then)
    What got you into clans? Why do you (or why did you) stay in them?:
    I was always fascinated by clans even before I got xbox live I would search up clans like Wolves of War, The Metal Uprising, KSI, MEA, etc. and I guess its the friends you make and the journeys you go on. It is literally like you’re in the military as people leave clans in which people retire and it is tough to say goodbye with the ones you worked hard with but that’s life.
    What makes a good clan in your opinion?:
    Respect and a goal yourself and many others will follow.
    What do you think of clan assassinations?:
    Bollocks. (Sorry, that’s my British side coming out)
    What do you think of some clans utilizing hacks, such as account banning or DDOSing, for what they see as just purposes?:
    I honestly think that need to stop ruining the fun for others, I think its selfish and weak.
    What signifies victory in a clan war to you? How does one clan beat another? (Not a battle, a war):
    That’s a trick question but I got to say there is a variety but mainly 2 sticks in my mind.
  4. Set up rules with the other team with a set record with fair rules and no hidden plot holes with those rules Cough LoS Cough
  5. When the other clan just gives in (Which rarely happens)
    What motivations, reasons, or justifications should a clan have for going to war with another clan?:
    I can’t really answer that because they’re 1000’s of reasons why clans should go to war and its always been about the reputation with clans within the Halo Clan Community.
    What was the most challenging battle you’ve ever had, and why was it so?:
    So far I think it was with LoS due to there childish behaviour, sorry I keep calling you out LoS but I’m still butt hurt about the box turrets. lol. But I think if NavCom and UNR have conflict with one another due to there reputations, 1 on Halo: Reach and the other on Halo 4, it will cause Games War 1 due to them 2 huge clans with different structures on single plat-former and also allies will be teaming up on the conflict but I think it will grow the community believe it or not.
    Don’t mention names, but think of the hardest opponent you’ve ever faced. Maybe not in battle, but on a political or psychological level. What made them so difficult?:
    If you’re on about individuals, I’ve got to say my own clan leader haha! Me and him go way back and we’re both as stubborn as each other. What also makes him so difficult to beat in a debate is motivation in politics. I’m into politics but not as much as him and he shuts me down sometimes and I just get angry but I still love the guy.
    Last question: Any other experiences, observations, thoughts, tips or suggestions that you wish to share with other clan players?:
    Just have fun and make as much friends as possible as they will get you far. When I joined UNR, I became friends with everyone and have become a popular member within it and make sure to stay loyal. You do not want to be known as a clan hopper. Progress works in time and if you rush it, you’ll -Yoink- up. But for any new clan leaders, I advice to get media up straight away with a great recruitment with videos with a capture card, not pictures as that’s old and the public would like it as much. We’re more into Machinimas now.

Thank you for reading guys

How long have you been playing Halo?:
Ive been playing halo since halo 2 came out for the original xbox and then after beating the campaign on legendary i played Halo CE, finished that and have played almost every halo game that has come out since Halo 2

How long have you taken part in clans?: I’ve only been in clans for a total of 2 years.

How many clans have you been a member of?: I’ve been a member of 5 different clans that have all ended up being totally inactive

What kind of clans? Military-based, competitive, or other? What games?: I have mostly been in competitive clans however i was in one military for a few months during the buzz that was Halo Reach. Other than the military clan on Halo Reach, almost all the other clans where from Halo 4 and a few from Halo 5

Think of your favorite clan you’ve ever been in. How did they run things? How were they organized? What makes them your favorite? (if info is sensitive, this question is optional):
N/A
How did you feel when engaged in a clan battle? (Excited, nervous, tense, focused, etc.): Ive only ever been in one clan battle and that was the coolest thing i ever experienced! At first i was nervous but once i got the general idea of what to do i became focused and excited!

What got you into clans? Why do you (or why did you) stay in them?: The main reason is because I’m kinda awkward socially and i have been depressed in the past and i have PTSD and I’m shy… so when you add all those things together, its unfriggin’ believably hard to make friends (see what i did there :3)
So the main reason why i have joined clans in the past was to have people that i can play with without the limitation of having to live in the same neighbourhood or even in the same country!
What makes a good clan in your opinion?: A good clan is a clan that is open minded and has a schedule in place so everyone is not scrambling around trying to get on at the same time.

What do you think of clan assassinations?: I haven’t been in a clan with what i assume to be one assassination is used throughout the whole clan. If there was assassinations that was only available to people in clans and depending on their rank they have more access to more exclusive assassinations then that would be cool

What do you think of some clans utilizing hacks, such as account banning or DDOSing, for what they see as just purposes?: I have never been in a clan that does this but i dislike and strongly disagree with hacking to gain an upper advantage in multiplayer (i.e. god mode) however that being said if its for coop in campaign mode then sure (something like infinity ammo, but you still have to reload, or with covenant weapons it still overheats)

What signifies victory in a clan war to you? How does one clan beat another? (Not a battle, a war): Usually its from a raid, where both clans make have a set amount of time to build their base and if we can take over the enemy base while defending our own for a set time then we win (we also win their base as a trophy)

What motivations, reasons, or justifications should a clan have for going to war with another clan?: Excessive trash talking from said clan or more from a more competitive POV, to see which clan is better (at aiming, teamwork, and communication)

What was the most challenging battle you’ve ever had, and why was it so?: Fighting a lobby that happened to be all in one clan and they weren’t performing well so when they invited to a 1v1 i thought it was going to be a piece of cake but to my surprise the player i 1v1 against had a totally different play style than before and it was extremely difficult to figure him out since he kept switching up his strategy with every 4 kills

Don’t mention names, but think of the hardest opponent you’ve ever faced. Maybe not in battle, but on a political or psychological level. What made them so difficult?:
Is this still in halo? If it is then it would have to be from a really good forger clan (not mentioning names as u asked) and this one guy was AMAZING at forging, like 343 quality forging and so i thought that since he was so into forging that he didn’t do so well in arena so i invited him to my game and we went into arena (swat) and after a few rounds we compared our best scores and he won lol.

Last question: Any other experiences, observations, thoughts, tips or suggestions that you wish to share with other clan players?: If your the leader than try to be easygoing and open minded because no ones perfect and everyone is a different skill level, not just at halo but in general. Theres some who are born naturally talented while others have to work tremendously hard to achieve the same result.

However, it seems like LN is having trouble getting members that are as good as the ones that they had in their prime. Seems to me like LN might actually die off when Halo 5 comes out if they don’t recruit soon.

> Military-based clans are pretty much dead. They are lead by 12 year olds who only want to win, even if it means making unfair maps and gametypes. Also, none of the leaders actually care about their members. It really seems like the main reason why people recruit for their clan is to gain respect, and to make these newcomers lower than them. I mean seriously, it’s sad enough that your clan can’t play competitively, but making random people bow down to you and listen to every order you say?
