phant 10 Posted April 27, 2014 Welcome to SOCOMD 2.0. After having undergone a massive rehaul which saw a wide variety of additions and improvements to SOCOMD Gameplay, SOCOMD is now rising above as one of the most authentic communities to play ArmA 3. Not only has SOCOMD improved its gameplay tremendously, we have also seen a massive influx of community expansion and involvement. We are now pushing for the title of the largest Australian/NZ ArmA community to date with 75 registered members and many more unregistered (we are not far off being the largest now). Please sit back, grab a beer and watch our SOCOMD introductory video: SO, WHO ARE SOCOMD? Special Operations Command (SOCOMD) is an Australian based ArmA 3 realism unit that is structured around the SASR, Commando & 5th Aviation Regiments of the Australian Defence Force. SOCOMD specialises in both COOP and PvP gameplay using weaponry and tactics based on those employed by the Australian Military. Our primary goal and mission statement is to… “Provide a fun, immersive & authentic Australian ArmA gaming experience supported by a democratic, persistent and active community of mature gamersâ€. In other words, we don’t refer to each other by our ranks and salute the Officers among us when we are in-game like some of the other realism units out there, but we do pride ourselves on maintaining a fun, immersive and authentic ArmA gaming experience – yes, this means that good old fashioned Aussie banter is welcome, but when the bullets start flying, it’s time to get our A-Game on. With SOCOMD’s founder being an ex-member of the RAAF’s Airfield Defence Guards (ADG’s), and many more members having either served previously, or are currently serving in the Australian Defence Force, this is the unit for you if you want an immersive and authentic Australian ArmA gaming experience, with the main goal of having SERIOUS FUN! WHEN DO YOU GUYS PLAY? SOCOMD Mission schedules are based around Australian and NZ time-zones (typically GMT +10). We are not exclusive to Australians and accept all who are willing to play within these time-zones. We run Official Operations (hosted and organised by designated members) 6 days a week and run many Unofficial Operations (hosted by any willing community members - yes, that means you too) every single day of the week. You can learn more about this here: *http://www.socomd.com/when-do-you-guys-play/* HOW IS SOCOMD STRUCTURED? We do not employ an overbearing Ranking structure. Ranks within SOCOMD are there to ensure that our gaming can be as smooth and efficient as possible. It is also a way for us to indicate who has training for specific roles within the platoons. As far as ranking goes, every single member in SOCOMD is as valuable to us as the next (except 5th Av, they're expendable). At SOCOMD, nobody will force you to do something that you do not want to do. However, should you volunteer as such, your sacrifice WILL be noted and appreciated. You can learn more about this here: *http://www.socomd.com/how-serious-are-you-guys/* SOUNDS AWESOME, SIGN ME UP! Applying is as simple as filling out a short Application Form. A SOCOMD representative will get back to you within 2 days at the very latest. We ensure that applicants and recruits do not have to bare long application times. Instead, we prefer to get you in and playing with us straight away, as that is the best way to familiarise with each other. We strongly recommend getting in now whilst we are growing fast. You can learn more about this here: *http://www.socomd.com/how-do-i-sign-up/* OKAY, YOU'RE RAMBLING HERE AND I'M NOT QUITE SOLD. ANYTHING ELSE TO SAY? SOCOMD takes pride in providing exclusive content that you will not find anywhere else. Recently we have employed the use of Zeus within our Official Operations for those who are looking for a dynamic and intense ArmA gaming experience. SOCOMD will never ignore its members and takes all opinions and suggestions seriously. We ensure that every community member's opinion is heard across the whole of SOCOMD by organising frequent community central 'round table' discussion events. Not only do we have 75 registered members (and counting), we also conduct frequent joint operations with other Australian ArmA Teams, such as Borderline Tactical, so we can truly push for those large scale operations. We have members working hard behind the scenes to ensure that SOCOMD is a friendly, harassment free environment and that all our Official Operations are of highest quality. Of our 75 registered members, not a single one has yet to exclaim that they do not enjoy themselves. Within SOCOMD, there is more for you to do than slay enemies. We look for community input in other ways such as Mission Editing, Video submissions, Writers and many more community based tasks. In the end, it's community involvement that keeps SOCOMD healthy. If you have any further questions or queries please do not hesitate to reply below. See you on the battlefield, mate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
