Realism Units

Realism Drill

There is many communities and groups that are here to bring a realistic feel and immersion into the games they love to play.  We’re social creatures by nature, and in this case we tend to form organizations for the purpose of enjoyment.  These organizations aren’t even a clans, they’re Units, and many of their members will correct you in the event that you called them anything else.  Many individuals outside the community would say, “it’s just a game.”  However the game is simply not an enough.  They wanted a deeper connection with structured gameplay that has evolved into Tactical Realism.

It’s a vision shared by many players alike within the realism community. Teamwork.  This common interest has motivated many players into a realism community… usually by accident.  Many players usually don’t seek out a realism unit on their own, but with teamwork in mind, they were bound to find them one way or an another.  They want is the sweet satisfaction  of completing a mission with predefined roles and responsibilities for each individual on the battlefield.

However, Realism is a double-edged sword. While many units will use a military-style ranking structure and require members to call their officers ’sir.’  There are also plenty of units that there that believe in “serious play, but not too serious.”  A lot of times calling each other by rank is simply a No-Go in these units.  If you want the immersion, or just team cooperation, there’s always an option out there.

Every realism unit does experience the same turnover rates like a regular clan would, however they usually benefit from higher numbers of recruits and a better core of members.  This alone will build a bond that can last for months, even years due to the enjoyable gaming experience.  Many players would join these units with their own motives for their own personal advancement, but what really kept them around is the people themselves.  The friendships and the sense of belonging is what draws the community closer together.  It may be complicated to explain it to someone else outside of the community, but for those who are part of this brotherhood, it makes complete sense.

Most game servers are populated by children who sling around obscene language without the consequences of real life.  Many of these kids choose to do this under the veil of the internet to burden other players from an enjoyable night of gaming.  Anyone can act a fool when playing a game, however a select few can play the game in a respectable way.

That’s what matters to these units.
