Black Widow Company PlanetSide Teamwork Video

Black Widow Company presents a collection of footage taken from its training exercises. These training exercises were routine practice for preparing new recruits to the structured game-play and teamwork that the Black Widow Company was known for.

Weapons familiarization demonstrates the effectiveness of fire concentration that is further emphasized by the use of low damage per second weapons.

Fire team tactics introduces new players to the concepts of authoritarian leadership, fire teams, and coordinated support movements.

At the end of the training sequence the individual players are expected to fully integrate with any online BWC players and execute planed operations by squad or platoon leaders in a structured and effective manner. Further specialized training could be obtained by joining a task force within BWC that would place emphasis on Ground Armor, Air Assault and Support, Scouting and Rapid Light Response, Infantry and MAX Armor, and other play styles.

Leaders in the Black Widow Company were certified in appropriate training operations and were expected to conduct regular indoctrination programs for new recruits.

@Mirr0rDT No, this was filmed on Emerald. The firing line stuff was done in VR, and the overwatch part in TR Sanctuary. The rest of it was live on emerald.

@silentghoust The concept behind the fire teams is that one team provides overwatch, IE: one team cover for the other team that is moving. If a tank shows up, both teams should be close enough to be able to engage, and one team will have cover and/or concealment. Worst case the moving team gets owned and the second team goes in to rez. Of course that is in theory and with capable leaders and members. Normally we would execute parallel movement of the two teams when there is cover available)

@zerga303 The firing line is an exercise of fire concentration and teamwork. We normally set up an ATV, buggy, and whatever else and use it to show the new members how our left-to-right fire concentration will be able to take down enemy units rapidly. We also like to add elements from real life training where possible.

We will be doing more of the same in PS2. Check us out on our forums: the-bwc.com

If they played on Emerald between 2003-2008 I am sure we have. I don't recall anything in particular, though.

[TheSniperSteve]

@BrokenSp00n: Yes, some people still play. The populations are certainly much lower now, though.

Our leading members had military experience, with a subset of them having combat experience.

[SunnyLovetts]

[VideoRoom207]

This was eally cheesy but if you guys are around for PS2, I'd really like to play with people who actually care about teamwork

[1stSgtB]

Kool video helps to know there are some groups for PS2 that have likewise military backgrounds etc.. You need coordination in big games like these. This video helps my decision making on which faction to play on PS2

[Mirr0rDT]

@halfaddict: I see you've applied, so I'll see you on the forums! Welcome to BWC!

@silentghoust: the firing line voice-over was deliberately campy, an intentional nod to our military background. The firing line exercise is something we use during a Basic Training exercise to get people into the habit of firing from the left and working their way across the field. Fire teams, on the other hand, work. Period. Splitting your forces means a tank has to choose its target. Only one team takes fire.

@JuggernautBWC I finally got BF3 and a new headset.

Used to be in BWC, always enjoyed the military mindset. Hope to see you guys in PS2
