By having a clan made up of players who are already good players you put yourself at an early advantage. Sure somebody else might be as good, but they might not have a bunch of other strong players backing them up. Sure they might be able to call out things to the people around them, but the team wouldn't be able to react with the precision of players who have been in situations similar hundreds of times.
Basically it would be a bunch of players who all play customs/privates versus sixty people who are the equivalent of pub/matchmaking kids. I honestly don't see the pub/matchmaking kids getting more than a handful of kills.

I see what you mean, but I was thinking more along the lines of 'players who play customs and attend tournaments' vs 'players who play customs and dont attend tournaments'. heheh...I don't really see the need to play at MLG, CPL, WSVG or any other major tournament, But I still play customs under their gametypes and setups. But yeah, not all the clans that are going to play Huxley are going to a major tournament; and some of those clans can be outright ridiculous at the game.

The trick to avoiding this when taking things seriously is to get involved with a more serious community and not just troll the equivalent of a public match.
No good player is NOT a god at the FPS genre strictly due to aim, at high levels of play a great shot is extremely important but a solid mind and in depth knowledge are the key to victory. Thats the entire point of forming a clan around past competitors. Good players from other games have already proved they can excel in a tech/magic shooter through Shadowrun.
So anyways, anyone here been involved in the past and want to hook up come release?

Agreed. Key essentials for competitive gaming in team-based shooters:
- Strategy
- Team Shooting
- Communication
You can still play games competitively and still have fun with it. Playing competitively, excelling and challenging yourself is way to have fun for many players; especially with shooters. It's once you've reached the point overreaction to a loss and taking the game far too seriously, that you've strayed too far away from the initial intent of the game.
