Bf4 clans

Just to throw in my little opinion here, I'm all for the teamwork and camaraderie that's associated with having a 'clan' and whatnot, just without the strict competitive side that tends to comes with it.

Either way though I think we gotta have a vote of some sorts, I'm okay using the [BRDS] tag if we do go that route, although I do kinda like the current [IRL] ones

Well i think we`ll keep it IRL,thats how it started and how its staying.Up to yourself`s if you`s want to start your own clan,but this ones staying IRL

Personally i see no reason to even worry about platoons, they were on BF3 also and were not used and i doubt they will be used here either, people playing mostly wont be near a PC and just getting people to change their tags to IRL or get an emblem was a mission also.

As for clan name and clan tag, i think they should stay the same and if boards want their own they should make their own thread and clan, if that's a problem we could manage the clan from irishgamers.ie or elsewhere instead.

This is why the older clans failed, it became less about fun and more so about egos and people trying to tell other what to do, ruins the game for me, don't know about you all but i don't try and take the game so serious.

They're not mutually exclusive, you can join three and thus have the choice between three tags/emblems.

Yeah that's fine by me.
Quick question; is it possible for Chickenboy to delete his platoon and start a new one??
I know it's been asked for the highest ranked member to create the IRL Platoon but I think if Chickenboy is willing to run it, and to be fair he did already try start one for us, then he should at least be considered

Well theres 3 names in my head lol,but you want someone who`s on most nights,and that most of the time in team chat,and there was 1 or 2 that asked me before chicken in chat,not that i`m dismissing him,fuzzy is a good player,but as i said there 3/4 in for the running :P,we`ll have to start canvassing for votes next

Seems appropriate for an Irish clan to have a drunk at the helm alright........:D

For full transparency, I'd be okay with Ally as well

lmao...yup i was thinking of ally plus another 1 or 2 ,i went for thurles cause hes on mostly everyday like myself plus hes always in chat,and laid back when i take his tags :P,though allys on most night as well and also is always in chat ,theres at least 6 to 7 of us on most nights and stuck in chat,though there was about 4 of them with premium,but thurles was really the 1st to ask as well,though when it all goes tits up as well we can blame him :P.

cobraeire

I could of taking a lot into consideration also,like ally was one of the 1st members,that fra was is the highest member,but he doesn`t come on boards or chat,and that yourself paul (booth) is good at organising telling where the enemy is etc,same as pat we could get 6 or 7 guys on here to start one ,but again its just a bit of craic at the end of the day...can the person that has the platoon make the promoting/demoting members?

Direct from DICE;

• The ability to create and join a Platoon for up to 100 members.
• Basic Platoon management such as inviting, applying, and promoting/demoting members.
• A private and public Platoon feed, where you can communicate and coordinate.
• A Platoon emblem and tag that all members can easily apply.
• The ability to earn stats for your Platoon and rank it up, and see all the matches you played together.

Hey lads, wouldn't mind joining up with ye. Am part of a platoon already, but wouldn't be averse to hopping in and out of it when I play with my regular group. Due to work hours, I'm mainly on after midnight. Wonder if there are many other late nighters?

Depending on work and kids etc, I may be on fairly late some times. No harm putting up your PS id anyway

kensutz

Myself and Aaron play quite regularly and I guess when he's in work I'm on my own trying to not lose the rag with useless team mates. I'm up for joining the clan too so I can have a regular group to play with.

normally on late enough but why not.

Added you there, see you online.

Welcome on board lads (pardon the pun) :P

Let whoever wants to do it organize it, in my experience the platoons didnt mean a whole lot anyway, they are only a message board and nobody posts on them or whatever only to say hoorah the odd time when someone joins. I read that you can get different missions etc from them so its worth doing but i dont think its hugely important.

I think the most important thing is to make sure that everybody in the clan is friends with everyone else, im guilty of this myself so im going to go home later and add everyone in on the list above.
Also, i think a criteria of joining the clan is that you must have a headset (comes with one anyway) and use it regularly. I know some lads dont like talking or cant be on Comms every night with kids or the missus or whatever and thats fair enough, but i think a criteria for joining is that you have to at some stage be on the chat, if not then sure whats the point. No point in being in somebody's squad if you cant communicate with them. On PC its slightly different as you have the chat window, but on console you really need to communicate to perform effectively. Nothing worse then being in an entire squad where nobody is communicating, it really does make a difference.

Hey guys,
Was hoping to maybe play with a few of you from time to time. I'm a newbie to Battlefield, only got it recently for the PS4. I am coming from a COD background so don't look down on me too much.

Psn id: keithc83

Whatever game modes you guys are playing, I am more than happy to play them. And of course learn them.....more than likely the hard way!

Hey guys, Cookmysock88 here. Just wanted to let ye know that there is four of us in the flat who play on my ps4. So it may not always be myself playing. The lads are scottish and english but don't hold that against them! haha Can't find the damn mic but hoping to get that sorted soon!

No worries. Plenty of times ahead anyway.

Quick question for the clan in general, does anyone mind if I use my original emblem instead of the clan emblem?? I've no problem using it, I just happened to really like my crow eating from a skull.............

That's cool with me Paul. I don't think anyone would have a problem

Killing Machine Mission on Battlelog up there lads for the weekend. I can only create missions with 5 people max, however I have created 5 missions so nearly everyone should be invited. If not, give me a shout! Mission lasts until monday morning so happy hunting. I will combine the scores and post up a leaderboard tonight, an updated leaderboard tomorrow night and final results on monday! Cheers lads, see ye out there :-)

Well some of us premium members will play the vanilla maps from time to time........gotta keep up appearances with the common folk
Easiest thing to do is just add everyone, better chance that someone will be online.

I'm still between two minds about the premium maps. I'm disappointed that Canals isn't included in the updated BF3 maps.

I always thought Canals was one of the more poorly balanced maps on Conquest. Seemed very easy pin the US on their carrier. Russian side got a heli and AA to counter any air assault, plus 2 MBTs in case the American LAV did actually get onshore.

BordorFox

Naval strike (DLC 3) is due out in like 3-4 weeks also, which i definately won't be getting.

I will be getting second assault though, tomorrow or the day after.

Just about to jump on now if anybody wants to join me for some cobra tag snatching lol.

****ing getting an error code when I try to set up a party. Hopefully it's fixed by later good games last night.
