A bit of a bloated title but I thought it would be nice to share our stories about how we came to be involved with Tripwire games and the community and why we've hung around for so long. Thinking back it's amazing how quickly 10 years goes and how many changes there have been. We've seen Tripwire move from a mod team to AAA titles (judging on what I've seen of KF2).
I imagine most of us started with either the original Red Orchestra MOD or with Killing Floor. However I started with Red Orchestra Ostfront, the first game I ever purchased on Steam after being a little disappointed with COD2. Since then I've worked on Mare Nostrum and helped out on Darkest Hour when it first started.
Unlike most mod teams we stuck together and are now working on a new project together, this rare longevity can be attributed to the friendly and supportive atmosphere Tripwire creates for their mod teams.
Sadly I don't know many people outside those small mod teams but I've made some good friends and I've met up in real life with both UncleDrax who made a map for TWI for the original RO mod (iirc) and worked on Mare Nostrum and also with Case who worked on Mare Nostrum.
So after 10 years I'm still here, still enjoying the games and hope to see you all in KF2
