The Burning Wolves


Recommended Posts

The Burning Wolves is a laid back clan with a varying number of members. Interestingly some days we have around 30-40 members and other days we only have 20 or even less. This clan began about 3-4 years ago and at one point had reached upwards of 50 members. We were greatly feared on Reach and sent people scrambling out of Big Team Battle lobbies.

The clan is mostly social though sometimes we will rise to the occasion of being a competative clan.It also is an achievement hunters clan and a clan that is greatly interested in producing media. If you're looking for a clan that does a lot of clan v clan then this is definetly not the clan you're looking for. We avoid clan battles completely because, as one of our founding wolves stated, "1v1'ing is just stupid and pointless..." We do a lot of achievement hunting when we get enough people who want the achieves. We have been known to stack lobbies just to get achievements though you will sometimes get credit bans for doing so. We forge a lot and some of our members have a tendancy to visit custom games every so often (though we try to stay out of the custom lobby as much as possible). A large number of our members have almost all the halo series so we move around between halos a lot to do a wide variety of things.

There is a ranking system that is strictly followed to keep a level of order in the clan. The ranking system basically is as follows:

  • the clan alpha and the clan alpha female
  • the squad leaders
  • the squad members
  • the clan pups (this is basically the newbs who havent gone through the training course for us to see where their skills lie..)

The method to achieving new rank is mainly just to score high in all of the tests: driving, dmr range, sniper range, grenade range, driving range, flying course, and obstacle course. Depending on which course you recieve A's in you will have a path of rank opened up to you. The paths include: Rifleman, Grenadier, Vehicular expert, Pilot, Sniper specialist, Recon, Sabotage, and Spec Ops. (This is subject to change since some ranks have lost their potency on Halo 4 such as the pilot rank which no longer has a falcon to make use of on Halo 4) (Also we have not yet gained a training map on Halo 4 so most of the testing at the moment will be on Reach until we forge a testing site on Halo 4)

A few generally implimented rules are as follows:

  • UPDATE: NEW RULE AS OF 5/20/13, ALL MEMBERS MUST GET 800 ms (this can easily be done without paying for it by having our members recomend you twice for purchasing your gold membership back as you get 400 points for purchasing gold back when recomended) and change their GT to: "(insert first name aproved by a pack leader here) WoIfy" this will allow us to represent ourselves much better :3 and show we are a family not just a clan
  • respect the pack (do not begin pointless arguements with fellow pack members and do not in any way harm, verbally abuse, or purposefully slight your fellow brothers and sisters in the pack)(respect the authority of the pack members who hold a higher rank than you (unless what they are requesting is something you feel is highly inappropriate or just plainly dishonorable for example being ordered to use yourself as cannon fodder is just not right...hopefully the clans officers who were picked because of their higher skill will realize they must not abuse their members this way but if you do feel missused bring any indescretions to me immediately and i will resolve the situation), this rule is strictly enforced to keep order: if you cannot respect your officers in this clan then regrettably you will be removed)
  • do not bring shame to the pack (do not act in a way that might be deemed morally wrong: cursing freely at people in the lobby, whining about losses, generally making a nuisance of yourself to other players on the game) (this rule is not as strictly enforced as the others as we understand sometimes emotions will get the better of you)
  • certain player content MUST be changed such as your clantag which will be changed to show that firstly you are a agent of the Burning Wolves and secondly what squad you belong to followed thirdly by your rank in that squad
  • when we are playing competatively please attempt to keep your behaviors honorable by doing things like avoiding "noob" weapons (don't shoot a lone enemy with a rocket launcher, they aren't a tank), not smack talking enemies before a game carrying on how they're gonna lose (you don't know the future and honestly this will just make them try harder and make the possibilities of them actually losing decrease..), and don't smack talk a beaten enemy who does not first insult you (if an enemy loses honorably they should be treated honorably) (these rules are slightly bendable though seeing as obviously in the case someone is attacking you and it's you or them clearly we'd prefer you to live so if you absolutely must using noob weapons on someone is acceptable but we'd prefer to keep our tactics honorable)

There are benefits to being in this clan the first of these obviously being the clean social interaction with other individuals who will keep their conversations to as much of a profesional level as possible (though a lot of our clan members have been known to crack "that's what she said", "your mom", and "bow chicka wow wow" jokes...). Some other benefits would be the assistance on achievements, assistance in multplayer, access to clan-only maps (we have several large and painstakingly designed forts and houses on Reach and we are about to begin doing so again on Halo 4), and official affiliation and the possibility of holding higher ranks in the future with the Burning Wolves. Another previously unmentioned benefit would be the possibility of being included in the book we are writing about our clan in the halo storyline (http://www.343industries.org/forum/topic/10352-burning-wolves-book-halo-shades-of-grey/). We also have a custom signiture which will be personalized for each clan member and used on this website to identify your affiliation with the Burning Wolves and your rank and achievements. We are hoping to add certain medals for the clan in the future which will be applied to your signature as you earn them.

Please reply below if you would like to speak to one of our members about joining and have a nice day. welcome.gif

im going to respectfully disagree with the 1v1ing is pointless....its a great way to showcase ones individuals skills and shot. As well as the idea of avoiding "noob weapons" in competitive play. If you want to play competitively on not use rockets, why included them on maps.

i respect ur opinion and the fact that u have decided to post ur viewpoint in a public area realizing it would recieve criticism...however my standpoint on this matter is that clan v clanning is simply for the prideful to use the worst tactics they can just so they can demoralize the other clan after defeating them by use of dishonorable tactics

as for the "noob weapons" stance: rockets are included in maps to allow for removal of heavy vehicles which would otherwise not be easily killable...not for masively overkilling an enemy who is attempting to legitametly kill someone with a dmr or assault rifle but like i said this rule is not strongly enforced a lot of times one of our members get in a no win situation and r forced to use tactics which may not seem honorable to us simply to ensure that they do stay alive we do not condone killing oneself to follow the rules but we would PREFER if our people kept themselves from being completely noobish like i said the enemy walking by on foot is not a tank and thereby does not merit having anti-heavy being used on them

the way i have always looked at it if you dont want to get killed by a rocket dont let the other team have it. Yes i understand that that may not always been possible but still the fact remains the same: if rockets are there they are gonna be used and your team better be getting a hold of them so you don't get rocketed.

Do I respect the morals you have for competitive gameplay, yes. But there is nothing wrong with using what is available to win. Be resourceful is alot more impressive then being honorable, in my opinion.

and the clan v. clan matches are more a show of your clans overall skill. We (the Arkadians) are rather respectful during these matches. Sadly many of our opposition are not. Its rather sad that trash talk is so ramped in online play, and it gets old rather quick. Clan matches are supposed to be a duel to see which clan trains and teaches their members better, especially teamwork. Sadly this is often overlooked.

5/20/2013: IGNORE THIS POST~!

I Definitely want to join

GT: Tenthilk


I'd join for sure, GT: Quentmnaster


Sounds Interestin......................I'll make arrangement's..............I'm in smile.png

But first i need a new halo reach

whilst i am greatly touched by the fact that u all want to join this clan i must inform u that this clan is currently innactive for an unspecified ammount of time... we normally go through periods of "hibernation" as i refer to it but this one seems like it might be longer than usual and i hope we will be back eventually... until then i shall continue to work on the pack's book and u may add some of the individuals from the pack to your friendslist to get to know them if u wish (i cannot guarentee that they will accept as i do not speek for them on a personal level in this way) and i appologize for this problem but life has gotten a little rough on some of our members and we now have need of the money we spent on xbox related expenses and the time we spent playing various game types endlessly together >.< so now this has generally become a sign in point for the wolves still somewhat active and wishing to communicate with eachother...but i am happy to see our general clan ideals have been noticed by each of u and i would be happy to make u members of the pack, just be warned that the pack's future is uncertain and for now, not only r we greatly disorganized when we get the survivors of the clan together, but we r also hard pressed to even get online to get the clan together at all sad.png we tend to keep a large portion of the clan in touch however and opperate almost like a family with those who have fought beside eachother never forgetting the battles fought and time shared next to their fellow pack members
may the flames of the pack be seen by halo players for years to come and thank u for ur support
