2nd Edition of the Monthly Who's Who

Welcome to the 2nd episode of the new series, Who's Who? 
 
In this series, I get the honor of interviewing members throughout the different Divisions of Tactical Gaming. This is a monthly series, published towards the end of the month. This interview will focus on the members views and feelings on gaming. 
 
Today, I have the great pleasure of interviewing @TG SleepyNinja
 
 
 
 
TG Sphinx:  Can you please introduce yourself and tell us a bit about your gaming background?
 
TG SleepyNinja:  SleepyNinja, formerly known as CallaNinja, got introduced to games via Tecmo Bowl on the NES and have been in love with games ever since!
 
TG Sphinx:  How did you become a part of Tactical Gaming?
 
TG SleepyNinja:  I became a part of TG (was called Tactical Warfare at the time), when I was actively looking for a clan to join on the XBox forums. I ran into a post from a former member by the name of QuantumDalek and the rest was history!
 
TG Sphinx:  What motivated you to become more involved in the community?

TG SleepyNinja:  I think I found more motivation to be more involved when seeing how others supported me in advancing up past whatever position I was in, whether it was in Squad, Battalion or Division staff, I had influences that kept me going through my time here.
 
TG Sphinx:  Which division of Tactical Gaming are you a part of, and what drew you to it?
 
TG SleepyNinja:  Currently I am a part of the Call of Duty Division. Ever since the original CoD 4 (the game that got me to join up with TG), I've owned every CoD since and have always been a fan of the series. The Call of Duty Division has always been one of the main staples of TG, alongside Halo, Battlefield and others. 

TG Sphinx:   How does your division contribute to the overall TG community?
 
TG SleepyNinja:  The Call of Duty Division has always been one of the main staples of TG, alongside Halo, Battlefield and others. 
 
TG Sphinx:  What inspired you to take on a staff role within Tactical Gaming?
 
TG SleepyNinja:  I mentioned earlier that a lot of members that were veterans here sort of molded me into who I am. A lot of those same guys and gals were who recommended me to take on staff roles within TG to see how I and TG would benefit from it.

TG Sphinx:  What are your responsibilities as a staff member, and how do you contribute to the community?
 
TG SleepyNinja:  With everything that the position has entailed, from overseeing squad practices to helping them expand from just being considered members, everybody has a part in contributing to making TG what you want it to be.
 
TG Sphinx:  What are your favorite types of games, and why?
 
TG SleepyNinja:  Though I have always been big on shooters (CoD, The Division 2, Rogue Company), sports games have always been in my heart. From my first gaming experiences with Tecmo Bowl on the NES, to now, playing Madden and NBA2K, I will always have an affinity for sports games!
 
TG Sphinx:  How do you actively engage with other members of Tactical Gaming?
 
TG SleepyNinja:  Actively engaging within the community, admittedly, has not always been a strength of mine, but when I do engage, it's for something I feel that would help the division
 
TG Sphinx:  Are there any initiatives or events you've participated in to foster a sense of community?
 
TG SleepyNinja:  In prior years and games, I've helped out with ATC courses in the past in an effort to bring in something fresh to the games that we supported.
 
TG Sphinx:  Have you made any long-lasting friendships within TG?
 
TG SleepyNinja:  I'll be honest, without some of the friendships I've had and still have with current and former members, i'm not sure where I would be. I've had the honor of playing with and working alongside so many great men and women that have been a part of this community, it's hard to keep count, but I know that I am eternally grateful to each and every one of them!
 
TG Sphinx:  How has being a part of Tactical Gaming helped you grow as an individual?
 
TG SleepyNinja:  Outside of the fact that i've literally grown up in my TG tenure (I was around 21 when I first joined), I've learned a lot about myself both personally and professionally.

TG Sphinx: Have you acquired any new skills or knowledge through your involvement?
 
TG SleepyNinja:  I've learned how to be a better leader in certain environments when it is needed, and I've learned that I can't always do things by myself, and delegating tasks to others isn't always a bad thing.
 
TG Sphinx:  What advice would you give to recruits joining Tactical Gaming for the first time?
 
TG SleepyNinja:  One thing i've already been told about TG is that this community is what you make it.  If you want casual, we have casual. If you want competitive, we have competitive.
 
TG Sphinx:  How can they make the most of their experience and connect with others within TG?
 
TG SleepyNinja:  Don't be afraid to reach out to people. The only way you'll be able to learn, develop and advance is by putting yourself out. If you want it bad enough, anything will come to you!
 
TG Sphinx:  What are your aspirations within Tactical Gaming?
 
TG SleepyNinja:  As of September 1st, I'll be celebrating my 5th year in TG... There is no way I thought that I'd still be here... but i've endured it all.  Through everything that has gone on with TG within the last few years, TG has still found a way to endure despite circumstances that have presented itself.
 
TG Sphinx:  How do you see yourself continuing to be a part of Tactical Gaming in the long run?
 
TG SleepyNinja:  I would love to see the divisions we have get back to how things used to be in the past. Call of Duty was one of the largest divisions in TG at one point in time, and with the right leadership, it can get back to that.
 
 
Thank you to @TG SleepyNinja for taking the time to answer these questions.
 
Stay tuned to the next episode of Who's Who? in another month!

Overwatch 2's PVE Hero Mode Cancellation: A Bold and Controversial Decision

In a surprising turn of events, Blizzard Entertainment has officially announced the cancellation of the highly anticipated PVE Hero Mode for Overwatch 2. This decision has sent shockwaves throughout the gaming community, leaving fans and critics alike questioning the future of the highly anticipated sequel. Let's delve into the reasons behind this unexpected move and explore the potential impact it could have on the Overwatch franchise.
 
The Verge's Report and Blizzard's Confirmation:
News of the PVE Hero Mode cancellation broke through an article on The Verge, leaving Overwatch fans in disbelief. The report highlighted Blizzard Entertainment's decision to shift its development focus away from the cooperative player versus environment gameplay experience, which was initially touted as one of the key selling points of Overwatch 2.
In a subsequent interview with IGN, the director of Overwatch 2, Jeff Kaplan, confirmed the cancellation, stating that the team had encountered numerous challenges in implementing the PVE Hero Mode as envisioned. He emphasized the importance of quality and innovation, suggesting that the cancellation was a result of the team's commitment to delivering the best possible experience to players.
 
Forbes' Analysis: A Major Pivot for the Franchise
Following the announcement, Forbes published an article by gaming journalist Kris Holt, arguing that while the PVE Hero Mode hadn't been completely abandoned, a major pivot was the right call. Holt emphasized the need for Blizzard to adapt to the changing landscape of multiplayer gaming and noted that the decision to prioritize other aspects of the game might ultimately benefit the Overwatch franchise.
Holt's article pointed out that the cancellation of the PVE Hero Mode could allow Blizzard to focus on improving the game's core mechanics, including balancing and competitive gameplay. Additionally, it might give the developers an opportunity to explore new avenues, such as expanding the existing PVP (player versus player) modes or introducing other innovative features.
 
Fan Reactions and Community Response:
The cancellation of the PVE Hero Mode has sparked a range of emotions among Overwatch fans. While some expressed disappointment, feeling that a crucial element of the sequel had been lost, others remained cautiously optimistic, trusting in Blizzard's decision-making process. The Overwatch subreddit and various gaming forums have become a battleground for these differing opinions, with passionate discussions dominating the online discourse.
 
Looking Ahead:
With the cancellation of the PVE Hero Mode, the future of Overwatch 2 is now shrouded in uncertainty. The decision signifies a significant shift in Blizzard Entertainment's development priorities and raises questions about the company's ability to meet player expectations. However, it is important to remember that Blizzard has a history of delivering exceptional gaming experiences, and this unexpected turn might lead to unforeseen innovations in the Overwatch sequel.
Blizzard Entertainment has assured fans that they remain committed to creating a captivating and immersive game with Overwatch 2, despite the cancellation of the PVE Hero Mode. As development progresses, it will be fascinating to see what new features and improvements the team introduces to compensate for this loss.
 
The cancellation of the PVE Hero Mode in Overwatch 2 has undoubtedly shaken the gaming community. While some view it as a setback, others see it as an opportunity for Blizzard Entertainment to refocus its efforts on core gameplay mechanics and deliver a more refined experience. As fans eagerly await further updates on Overwatch 2, only time will tell whether this bold decision will prove to be a turning point in the franchise's history or a missed opportunity.

Who's Who ? - By TG Sphinx

Who's Who ?
 

 
 
Welcome to the return and first episode of the new series, Who's Who? 
 
In this series, I get the honor of interviewing members throughout the different Divisions of Tactical Gaming. This interview will focus on the members views and feelings on gaming. 
 
Today, I have the great pleasure of interviewing a good friend @KatyHasNoBread
 
 
TG Sphinx: First of all, Can you please introduce yourself and tell us a bit about your gaming background?
 
KatyHasNoBread: I'm Katy, I'm 32 years old from the UK. I first got into gaming solo at a young age with a PS1 and XB original and was introduced to online gaming through my husband (Call of Duty World at War era baby!!) and it's been a passion ever since!
 
 
TG Sphinx: Can you give us a brief overview of your current role(s) within TG and what you do?
 
KatyHasNoBread: I am currently the CO for 2nd Battalion Call of Duty, Acting CO for 1st Battalion Call of Duty and a member of the Social Media Team! My roles have many different requirements, for example; as a CO I regularly monitor the division to check that everything is running smoothly. I try and attend a different squad practice every evening to spend time with the members of the battalion and also make sure that they are happy with everything. As part of the Social Media team, I generate the posts that go onto the many social media platforms that Tactical Gaming has. 
 
 
TG Sphinx: How did you become a part of Tactical Gaming?
 
KatyHasNoBread: I've been in Tactical Gaming on and off over the years. I first joined and was a part of the Call of Duty World War 2 division. I then moved to the Fortnite division after developing a slightly unhealthy obsession with the game (thus playing from Season 2 to Season 11). I left TG for a bit and then came back during Call of Duty MW2019 where I met some great friends and we set up a squad but after Cold War came out, I'd lost my gaming mojo and had some things going on in real life. I've been back now since November 2022 and managed to drag some of my great friends back with me again :P
 
 
TG Sphinx: Can you share any notable experiences or memories you've had while being a part of Tactical Gaming?
 
KatyHasNoBread:  I love playing alongside my friends Aliesha30 and SiriousToast. Both of them are hilarious and such great gamers to spend sessions with. I fondly remember in MW2019 when Aliesha got a chopper gunner and I think she levitated herself she was so excited. 
 
 
TG Sphinx: How do you feel about all of the recent changes within TG?
 
KatyHasNoBread:  I think that although the changes may have had a huge impact on the community, there has been huge strides that have been made since the changes have happened. We managed to discover that a lot of things that were historically followed were not necessary and it took a fresh perspective to realise this! Everyone has had a chance to have a voice in the shaping of the call of duty division and It's my belief to continue to give every member the chance to have a voice about their community.
 
 
TG Sphinx: What inspired you to take on a staff role within Tactical Gaming?
 
KatyHasNoBread: I was passionate about improving the community and creating the space that we've had on several other occasions. I wanted to make TG a place that people feel safe to express their opinions and give feedback to help improve the battalion.
 
 
TG Sphinx: What are your responsibilities as a staff member, and how do you contribute to the community?
 
KatyHasNoBread:  Its a whole lotta admin! hehe Yes it's a lot of work behind the scenes which quite a lot of people may not be aware of and it is quite time consuming sometimes but I have a great support network to help get everything sorted and remind me If I miss something! I contribute to the community by running weekly Optional practices on Fridays which are like a mix up of different things. Sometimes we do fun game nights, inter battalion tournaments or even recruitment evenings! It's a great way to get everyone mingling between squads!
 
 
TG Sphinx: Can you discuss any challenges or rewarding experiences you've encountered in your staff position? 
 
KatyHasNoBread:  It was a big challenge to join my staff position and then be left seemingly alone to manage a lot of things. It was a very worrying time as I hadn't ever done anything like this before but with some guidance and training from upper CoC I've just hit the ground running and so far *fingers crossed* we haven't burnt to the ground just yet ;)
 
 
TG Sphinx: What are your favorite types of games, and why?
 
KatyHasNoBread:  It depends on my mood. I don't mind playing RPG games like CoD or OW2 for example if I'm in the mood to play it :D If I've had a rough day and I just want to spend some time alone then I'm normally found playing simulation games for hours (current fave is Project Hospital but i've also logged over 200 hours on Prison Architect!) I think that the simulation games just soothe my soul and don't require much thinking power! 
 
TG Sphinx:  How do you actively engage with other members of Tactical Gaming? 
 
KatyHasNoBread:  I'm forever lurking in the other channels of the TG discord. I like following Lady's cooking in the bistro channel and reacting to all the cute pets in the pets channel. What can I say, food and pets.. the best way to keep a girl happy! A lot of people fall victim to my celebratory reactions when you hit a new rank on the discord. I love doing that haha! I've also started a monthly free game Friday event (starting August 4th!) where we all gather together, regardless of division and play some free games! 
 
 
 TG Sphinx: How has being a part of Tactical Gaming helped you grow as an individual?
 
KatyHasNoBread: It's helped me get more confidence and speak to more people in TG as a whole who I would probably not have spoken to before. It's also helped me to analyse everything to see how we can improve here and there!
 
TG Sphinx: Can you share any specific instances where you've seen personal improvement within TG?
 
KatyHasNoBread: When I held my first round table, it was eye opening for me because so many members had such great ideas that really needed to be listened to. When I collated all the ideas and sent them to Biggy and Shadow and their feedback on them was really positive. Being open and accepting of change seemed to have been something that was supressed for a long time and it got to a point where everyone was ready and wanted change.
 
 TG Sphinx: What advice would you give to recruits joining Tactical Gaming for the first time?
 
KatyHasNoBread: Be yourself and enjoy yourself!
 
TG Sphinx: Are there any specific resources or areas they should explore to enhance their journey within Tactical Gaming?
 
KatyHasNoBread: If you can, for call of duty its useful to look at map callouts as these can help improve your game technique with minimal effort and speak to other members to get loadouts because these have been some of the best loadouts I've used! 
 
TG Sphinx: What are your aspirations within Tactical Gaming?
 
KatyHasNoBread: Personally, I just want to get TG to a point where everyone is comfortable and they enjoy being a part of the community again. I'm constantly looking at ways to improve the discord and things we can implement to make TG a great place so there's a lot of work still to be done!
 
TG Sphinx: How do you see yourself continuing to be a part of Tactical Gaming in the long run?
 
KatyHasNoBread: Hopefully still thinking of random things we haven't thought of yet and implementing great things to bring the community back to its former glory!
 
Thank you to @KatyHasNoBread for taking part in this first of many interviews.
 
Stay tuned to the next episode of Who's Who? 
 

The Evolution of PC and Gaming Technology: A Journey From the 90s to the Present Day

The world of personal computers and gaming has come a long way since the 90s and early 2000s. Technological advancements have revolutionized the way we interact with computers and the immersive experiences they offer. From the humble beginnings of blocky graphics and limited processing power, we have entered an era of cutting-edge hardware and mind-blowing visual fidelity. In this article, we'll explore the remarkable progress made in PC and gaming technology over the years, comparing the present-day wonders to the nostalgia-inducing setups of the past.
 
Processing Power and Speed:
The most significant leap in PC and gaming technology over the past few decades lies in the realm of processing power. In the 90s, personal computers were equipped with processors like Intel Pentium and AMD K6, which offered clock speeds measured in megahertz (MHz). These CPUs, although groundbreaking at the time, were nowhere near as powerful as today's processors.
 
Fast forward to the present day, and we have multi-core processors with clock speeds measured in gigahertz (GHz). Companies like Intel and AMD have pushed the boundaries of CPU performance, offering improved architecture, increased core counts, and advanced technologies like hyper-threading. This exponential growth in processing power has allowed for more complex gaming experiences, enhanced AI capabilities, and seamless multitasking.
 
Graphics and Visual Fidelity:
The evolution of graphics technology is perhaps the most visually striking aspect of the PC and gaming industry. In the 90s, gamers marveled at the pixelated wonders of games like Doom and Quake, featuring blocky characters and limited color palettes. The early 2000s introduced advancements like NVIDIA GeForce and ATI Radeon graphics cards, which brought about significant improvements in texture quality and 3D rendering.
 
Today, we find ourselves immersed in a world of lifelike graphics and stunning visual fidelity. Modern graphics cards boast impressive technologies such as real-time ray tracing and AI-powered upscaling, which result in hyper-realistic lighting, shadows, and reflections. 4K and even 8K resolutions have become the norm, accompanied by high refresh rates and HDR support, delivering an unparalleled level of visual immersion.
 
Storage and Memory:
In the 90s, PCs were equipped with floppy disk drives and hard disk drives (HDDs) with capacities measured in megabytes (MB) or a few gigabytes (GB). Installing a game required multiple floppy disks, and loading times were often excruciatingly slow.
 
Fast forward to the present day, and we have solid-state drives (SSDs) that offer lightning-fast read and write speeds. This technology has revolutionized gaming, significantly reducing load times and enabling seamless open-world experiences. Additionally, storage capacities have increased exponentially, with terabyte-sized SSDs becoming more affordable and commonplace.
 
Memory capacity has also seen a tremendous boost. In the 90s, 8MB or 16MB of RAM was considered sufficient for gaming. Now, gaming PCs typically come equipped with 16GB or even 32GB of RAM, allowing for smooth multitasking and resource-intensive gaming experiences.
 
Connectivity and Online Gaming:
The advent of the internet has transformed gaming from a predominantly single-player experience to a connected, multiplayer extravaganza. In the 90s, dial-up internet connections were the norm, and online gaming was often limited to text-based MUDs (multi-user dungeons) or early MMOs (massively multiplayer online games) like Ultima Online.
 
Today, broadband and fiber-optic connections have paved the way for seamless online gaming experiences. High-speed internet connections enable multiplayer battles with players from around the world, and platforms like Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG.com have made game distribution and updates effortless.
 
Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality:
One of the most exciting advancements in gaming technology in recent years is the rise of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). In the 90s and early 2000s, VR and AR were mostly experimental concepts, with rudimentary attempts at creating immersive experiences.
 
Now, we have VR headsets like the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and PlayStation VR that transport players to breathtaking virtual worlds. These headsets provide an unprecedented level of immersion, with precise tracking, realistic 3D audio, and intuitive motion controls. Augmented reality has also made significant strides, with devices like Microsoft's HoloLens and smartphone apps that overlay digital elements onto the real world.
 
Miniaturization and Mobility:
In addition to the rapid advancements in processing power and capabilities, the physical size of computers has undergone a dramatic transformation. In the 90s, computers were bulky and often occupied an entire room, with separate units for the monitor, CPU, and other peripherals. Lugging around a computer was inconceivable, and mobility was a luxury reserved for laptops, which were still relatively large and heavy compared to today's standards.
 
Fast forward to the present, and we find ourselves carrying powerful computers in our pockets. Smartphones have become incredibly compact and lightweight, yet they boast computing power that far exceeds the capabilities of the computers that guided humanity to the moon. These pocket-sized devices feature multi-core processors, ample RAM, high-resolution displays, and storage capacities that rival traditional PCs. They are capable of running complex applications, graphically-intensive games, and even support augmented reality experiences.
 
Laptops and Ultrabooks:
The evolution of laptops is another remarkable testament to the miniaturization of computing technology. In the 90s, laptops were bulky and heavy, often resembling portable briefcases. They offered limited processing power and battery life, making them less practical for extensive use outside of a power outlet.
 
In contrast, today's laptops and ultrabooks have undergone significant transformations. They are sleek, lightweight, and designed for maximum portability without compromising on performance. Thin bezels, high-resolution displays, and improved battery technologies have made laptops highly versatile. With powerful processors, dedicated graphics cards, and ample storage options, they are capable of handling resource-intensive tasks, including gaming, video editing, and 3D rendering.
 
Internet of Things (IoT) and Wearable Technology:
The advancements in computing technology have extended beyond traditional PCs and smartphones to a wide range of interconnected devices in the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem. IoT devices, such as smart home appliances, wearables, and connected vehicles, are becoming increasingly common in our daily lives.
 
Wearable technology, in particular, has witnessed tremendous growth. Smartwatches, fitness trackers, and augmented reality glasses have integrated computing power into compact form factors. These devices not only provide convenience but also serve as extensions of our digital lives, tracking health data, delivering notifications, and even supporting immersive gaming experiences.
 
The evolution of PC and gaming technology from the 90s and early 2000s to the present day is nothing short of remarkable. The advancements in processing power, graphics, storage, connectivity, and immersive experiences have transformed the gaming landscape and pushed the boundaries of what is possible. As we look to the future, we can only imagine the exciting innovations and breakthroughs that lie ahead, promising even more awe-inspiring gaming experiences. The miniaturization of computers and the exponential increase in computing power have revolutionized the way we perceive and interact with technology. From room-sized mainframes to pocket-sized smartphones, and from heavy laptops to ultra-portable devices, we have witnessed a remarkable transformation in size, mobility, and power. The fact that modern smartphones exceed the computing capabilities of the systems that guided humanity to the moon is a testament to the incredible progress made in a relatively short span of time. As technology continues to advance, we can expect further miniaturization, increased portability, and even more powerful computing devices in the future.

Website Upgrade June 19th

Big news, we’re finally here, ready to upgrade our website and not a minute too soon. As some of you know, we’ve been trying to upgrade our site for quite a long time now but faced several challenges. 
 
The various applications behind the scene were very outdated, no longer supported and started to break down. Our host provider had indicated that our site size was the biggest they had and because of this, we’re on an old dedicated server which was not sustainable for much longer. We’ve made several changes to reduce our database sizes such as the reduction of the amount of PMs and we’ve done much needed in house cleaning of our Administrative Tracking System (ATS) and forums. It didn't impact the site, but we've been doing a lot of Discord cleaning as well. Visually, you will notice some minor changes but nothing drastic. So you won't be to lost 🤣
 
In addition, we have multiple improvements for the Administrative Tracking System (ATS) but were dependent on the site upgrade. For examples:
improving the registration to boot camp process. Sending out emails when discharging people  Improving the PB and PPR generators Automatically Award the Good Conduct Medal to members every 6 months. And more…  
As I previously announced, we’ve implemented many changes to reduce workload at all levels including the removal of the Boot Camp forums. Well, again, we’re kicking it a notch. I’m very happy to announce that the website upgrade will also include the improved registration to boot camp process:
 
After the registration form has been completed, RECs will no longer wait for the registration to be approved before getting access to complete Boot Camp (BC) A new private message notification will immediately appear after completing the registration form and as usual, they will receive the same instructions to complete BC. When BC has been completed, Division Staff will review and assign to a Squad.  
So the Training Office will no longer be involved with RECs which allows Assistant Trainers (AT) to really concentrate on their fundamental objective of helping their Divisions on all training matters.
 
In addition, we’ve lost too many RECs due to emails being sent to the spam folder, or technical issues where emails were not being sent. The upgrade of our site will include a new tool running in the background which will ensure emails are being sent.
 
Lastly, emails will be sent when people are being discharged.
 
The upgrade will occur Monday June 19 and as such, the site will go up and down for about 24h. Note any issues and open a ticket here.

New 1st Corps Commander - TGxShadowGhost

I’m VERY happy to announce that @TGxShadowghost has been promoted to 1st Corps Commander (CC). Her relentless work ethic to complete all on and off the field tasks in a timely manner is contagious which makes her the perfect person to lead 1st Corps and influence all Divisions in a positive way.
 
In addition, ARMA Division has been transferred to 1st Corps which means 2nd Corps is being closed for the moment. 
 

 
To all who shall see these presents, greeting:
Know Ye, that reposing special trust and confidence in the fidelity and abilities of
 
@TGxShadowghost
as
1st Corps Commander (CC)
