MERC

Our goal is to act and play as a team, and to continually improve ourselves to that end.

We are an organized, fast-moving, teamwork-oriented group focused on accomplishing those strategic objectives in the games we play.  Through cooperation our members get the most out of playing games by elevating each other’s game play to a higher level.

Our leaders have both the interest and experience in ensuring our group is acting as a team.  The aim is to foster self-reliance and individual knowledge of our players to reduce the amount of direct leadership. With strong individual play, our team leaders can focus on larger meta game decisions and raise the quality of our group’s strategy.

In pursuit of improving ourselves, we dissect and analyze our gameplay. With application of statistics to which context is given by knowledge of the game, our leaders and veteran members offer much for personal development and growth. Whether it be mouse sensitivies or composition selections to counter a specific opponent, discussion of gameplay at all levels  is highly encouraged.

We play with decisive force, with a united team.

History

Mercenaries (MERC) was formed in Planetside 1 launch day back in 2003, and continues here today. It was a founding and continuing member of The Terran Alliance (TTA), which is still in operation today on the Connery server in Planetside 2.

MERC has played and does play many different games. While the focus of MERC is on FPS and/or MMO games, we have members that enjoy all types. Currently, MERC is primarily focused on Planetside 2, Arma 3, and Warframe. However, there are plenty of players gaming together in a variety of other titles.

The growth of MERC has been in part due to the addition of communities that  have worked jointly with MERC in the past. Some of these mergers included larger groups such as Hell From Above (HFA) and Totail Recoil (TxR). With strong relationships previously built, we have integrated new members and groups into the fabric of who we are today as MERC Gaming Group, and include their history into our own.
