We will be looking into expanding our gaming regions to the US shortly.Clan HistoryOriginally formed in 1999 as a 'Marine Only' Aliens versus Predator clan, the 101ST Colonial Marines code named 'Roughnecks' became a structured, organised and skilled team that no other AvP clan could match.
Having now 'Kicked Ass' in multiple FPS combat games across multiple gaming platforms, the original Roughnecks are now collectively known as the 101ST. Welcome to our Joint Operations Centre.
In 1999 the 101ST Colonial Marine Roughnecks practiced their pulse rifle persecution of Xenomorphs and Predators via the thriving online gaming communities of MPlayer and later though Gamespy . Though originally conceived as a United Kingdom only clan, demand quickly led to further expansion and the doors were opened to recruits from further afield in Europe and the USA. At this point, the 101ST consisted of Blue, Gold, Green and Red Platoons and Marines were required to show a high level of commitment to training and participation in the thriving 101ST Community.
With the advent of Aliens versus Predator 2 in October 2001, under the strong leadership of Commander Deadly and Lieutenant Commander Ultra Mk, the clan re-structured and moved into a new era; Alpha Company was created for regular AvP and AvP Gold specialists whilst Bravo Company was formed for those Marines moving across to the new disciplines of AvP2. With the influx of new recruits attracted to AvP2 and even after implementation of strict tryout and training regimes, the Platoons were quickly filled by fresh meat from around the world. At its height between 2002 and 2003 it is estimated that the 101ST was probably staffed by between 60-70 active Marines. The 101ST became one of the largest and best known 'Marine Only' clans to participate in the Aliens versus Predator community and the Roughnecks name became synonymous with a breed of gamers known within the community for their maturity, skill and commitment to the Aliens versus Predator franchise.
As AvP2 popularity began to decline, Commander Ultra Mk took the decision to diversify and steered the clan into a new direction of aggressive expansion into new FPS gaming arenas. Under the banner of the 101st Joint Operations Centre | One Zero One : Collective, new 101ST Divisions were created to accommodate FPS games such as Tom Clancys Ghost Recon, CounterStrike Source and Call of Duty Modern Warfare. With these new games in place the 101ST returned to its former levels of activity and exceeded over 60 active members who participated in online leagues and ladders such as Enemy Down and the Cyber Athletic League.
The gaming community is a vastly different scene these days and the 101ST is now more like a sleeping leviathan. The large numbers of clan members have gone and the clan has essentially been held together over the last 10 years by a group of individuals that still share a common bond of friendship created by membership of the 101ST. The champion of this later era has been Lieutenant Commander Phoenix who started his service with the 101ST in Gold Platoon and has been a participating member ever since .... It's only right then that with the release of Aliens: Colonial Marines the Phoenix will lead the 101ST up out of the ashes and back to its former glory.
