Building a better MVM experience.

Are you tired of logging on to play MVM, and finding: 
 
*Players who sound like Gamestop would not sell them an M-rated game? 

*Players who make no sound at all? 

*Players who clearly have no clue what they’re doing, and refuse to take
advice or instruction from veteran players? 

*Veteran players who use their experience as an excuse to treat people like garbage? 
 
Then join The MVM Players Guild. We are a group of adult players of Mann Vs Machine who are looking to make it easier to find other players like us to build the best MVM experience possible. Our requirements are simple: 
 
1. All players are expected to be *at least* 18. We can’t exactly do background checks, but if it becomes clear that you’re under age, you will be banned. Nothing personal, but you reach a certain age when you just prefer to play with other adults. 

2. Communication is key, and stopping to type, or having to read text while playing is far from ideal. For these reasons, all members are expected to have functional mics. Headsets are ideal (helps greatly to prevent echos), but not required; so long as you have a decent setup. 

3. You must abide by our code of conduct

4. In regards to skill, you are expected to use common sense. This means: 

>>>4.1. If you do not already have *at least* a couple of completed tours at lower-difficulties, do not show up in higher difficulties. Expert-level tours are called that for a reason. Work your way up! 

>>>4.2. There are several guides on-line, and we are happy to help with advice and answers on our forums if you do not know the best loadouts/upgrades for a particular class. Unless you are playing an intermediate-level tour, do *not* play a class you’ve never tried before; unless you’ve discussed it with the team you’re playing with before-hand. 

>>>4.3. Know your loadouts. What weapons work well, and what weapons don’t, and come to play WITH said weapons. The basic, no-frills version of pretty much every weapon in the game can be bought on the community market for less than a nickel. Scrap.tf will sell you the basic version of any weapon at a rate of 2 weapons per scrap metal. There is no reason to show up for a game, want to play scout, and not have mad milk or the fan-o-war. 

>>>4.4. Above all, if you’re struggling, or you’re not sure, listen to and respect the advice of more experienced players.
