Can I just ask, why are you changing names? Also whats wrong with MOD? I like mod.
 
Crysis Divison

Only sad part of that name is that it would be CRY DIV for short lol

I'll answer the question as best I can, but since somewhere down the road Insurgency will be a dead mod, we have to look into new games. Instead of making a completely new division, the foundation of MOD Division is solid enough to branch into other games, while still supporting Insurgency as long as we can.

Branching in to other MOD's has not worked as we wanted, so bringing in a more popular title is necessary for the continued survival of the division in the long run.

Then why change now? Why not change when/if the mod actually does die. INS, at the current moment of time is defiantly not dead. If it was, then eGO servers would be empty like they were on PVKII, but they arn't.

As you can see by the poll, two thirds of people will not play on a Crysis Wars server. So why get a server? Also, RO is a very good game, but why not change DoD:S division to WW2 and create a whole new basis for expansion throughout the clan.

Crysis Wars is the multiplayer for Crysis.
Crysis2 is a new game. The poll you speak of is for Crysis Wars and not Crysis 2 which is the game we're speaking of in this thread.

I like your idea about RO and DOD merging sounds brilliant.
Red Orchestra is one game and Red Orchestra 2 is another game.
In this thread we are not talking about RO we are talking about RO2.
I hope that clears things up for you a bit!

Tactical division will make us more like start division which will enables us to essentially add any tactical shooter to our line up down the line, without the need to change our name yet again.

The time has come to change is why. While your argument regarding the status of Insurgency in relation to eGO servers is true, it also fails to capture the full picture. First of all, they are eGO servers, so of course we have people playing on them. ;) Second, have you looked elsewhere? Firefight is the only server that can get full and stay full. Other clans are struggling, and the majority of servers have remained empty for months at a time. The development team has quit so there is zero possibility for any improvements. Not to mention the fact that a sequel will not be released. Jeremy's team has also stopped working on INS:The Art of Revolution and INS:Classic. As of now, Insurgency has nothing going for it EXCEPT for eGO's involvement.

Further, your examination of the Crysis Wars server is skewed, and generally irrelevant. This division is not moving onto Crysis Wars, but Crysis 2. The poll is asking about Crysis Wars because we are considering putting up a Wars server until the release of Crysis 2. So it will be a temporary server much like our Darkest Hour server. Additionally considering the fact that this gaming community is rather diverse I would expect a large portion of our community to show a lack of interest. A poll with two responses fails to adhere to the criteria set by the Likert Scale for surveys which means that limited information is available through this survey. For instance, are people saying "no" because they do not like FPS games, or "no" because they do not like the Crysis series, etc?

DoD:S division should focus on their game until a later time. But for now they are strong enough to hold their own with their game. By having them split their box and their teams could be catastrophic. Basically what I'm saying is we can only go up from here. Also, leadership feels that our divisional members are fluid and flexible to adapt to major changes to the division. It is my personal belief that our divisional members are among the most dedicated and loyal in this organization. Qualities that are to be commended. We appreciate these features, but this division finds itself in a position where it must adapt to the changes in the gaming industry.

My intent here is not to be rude, but to give a no BS assessment of our situation and our future. I hope this helps explain why decisions such as this are required to be made in a timely fashion.
 
We need to come up with acronyms and then build what they mean around them. I'd love our short name to be something epic that none of the other eGO divisions can touch (considering we're one of two divisions that aren't restrained by having only one game and as such, one logical name.)

We could return to being the insurgency division- it'd be for the meaning of the word, not the game, though, with a nice mix of nostalgia and confusion.

+100
This is the main reason I changed my tag from mod to ins several months ago.
I believe the true definition of Insurgency defines me.
