Dear diver 🤿,

After an experience in sports and gaming of many years, in 2019, I launched this initiative, seeking for friends who hold dear immersive, team spirited, and especially quality focused gameplay sessions to achieve unique memorable session far away from coin op arcade and tv zapping and closer to unique theatrical experiences. Session where your rules are the ones of the avatar, you are the avatar. To enjoy this quality oriented journey you live and breathe the context, lore, stories, relations in which your avatar is. This doesn't require heavy role playing but surely a learning process is often required.

The No HUD Team is dedicated effort for thoughtful immersive experiences.
NHT focus is hyper realism co-op gameplay, team tactics and strategy to live a reality suspending experience.

NHT aims to be a small crew of friends who share a strong passion for team, communications, simulation as well as for engaging stories when playing a game.

We are an international group and play on Personal Computer 🌐
Our HQ is in Europe and we are mainly active between 1600-0000 Z. (DST on or off)

NHT is open to all players that are familiar with the above mentioned and all of the following


The crew shares a relentless commitment to immersion, strong belief in team values, heart and soul dedication to achieving the best quality gameplay experience, we are the home of the "full-immersion" seeking player.

NHT is not a clan; The crew is made of peers with in-game exchangeable roles & responsibilities, like a special force team for bad ass good gaming.



Quality over quantity.
As an immersion laboratory we may also refer to single player games: we do share best practices on how to enjoy in "one wild ride" (not a "New Game Plus" never ending lackluster), with all and only the best entertainment. (helpful also to recover from when bad purchasing happens)

During game play we consider important to maintain focus on "the mission" or what could be roles, not betraying the atmosphere with multitasking, noise, nor spoilers.

Outside the game our interaction remains casual.


The "game (re) design discussion" is always open.

Games are made of rules & layers: depending on what we play, NHT aims to expand & explore them to develop full immersion : dive together into suspension of disbelief!

We maintain the promise to be in the shoes of the in game characters, learning about a new context and story or bringing our knowledge into it, expanding the potential, pushing the fun meter.
Some of us are geardos, or passionate about history, geopolitics, strategy, team gaming and sports.

NHT fun stretches across multiple genres, however what distinguishes a Detachment No HUD member is the approach we take to the gameplay, which is one that is aware of the character story and background, of the rules of the virtual world we are diving in; rules we also tend to expand, fleshing out layers that are too often disregarded or for productions request streamlined and simplified for pleasing (and uneducating) the masses & directly by a larger and larger population of run and gun gamers and speed runners...

...If a game's vanilla mode does not provide us with the "full package" to complete the experience, we may introduce house rules , story background, out of the game elements; we share these adaptations in our co-op sessions, synchronizing in a same "mode", we create our shared unique immersive experience.


We strive to enhance the experience by adapting specific game world-contextual verbal and non verbal communication elements (with attention on voip, radio ptt, equipment habits like gear\load team choices, to how we speak, team movement, adopting together our simulation standards in order to push a context based, unique and immersive Team experience.

----------------------------------------

NHT members seek to join into various games, co-op, PvP and stretching across multiple genres.

We will not give up the values of immersion and quality focused gameplay.
NHT keeps on building on the methods to keep or achieve in the future higher gameplay quality standards, reality suspending fun & unique gameplay.

Detachment Red members are specifically active and focus on a campaign\project.

NHT is looking for new experienced members to join the crew.

We especially look for seasoned Players (or truly passionate ones) experienced in realism based simulation\ hyper realism. So if you think to share a same co-op spirit with me and you are interested in honing your tactical chemistry with other tactical and immersive player\friends, please get in touch.

Once tactical, forever tactical.

Basic guidelines for the group:

- respect players time and effort;
- demonstrate maturity;
- be comfortable operating in a complexity rich international setting;

- use a headset for communications;
- be able to efficiently use PTT (Push-to-talk);
- limit\remove background noises... if they can't be assimilated as your "radio static" or exchanged for in game environmental sounds;
- be fluent in english\american, at least... knowing other in-game NPC related local languages is a plus;

- have a stable internet connection like an ADSL+ (please use a cable, not wifi) and above below 100 ping low jitter etc;
- proficiency in Team tactics, passion about simulation, desire gameplay to be made of unique sessions;
- be eager to learn, apply, share new methods, your discoveries from or with the rest of the crew;

We appreciate interaction in the server and other NHT aggregation places:
I always believed part of the experience is outside the game, not just in-game.

The NHT group lives of our interactions, sharing of creative ideas, critique, discoveries, suggestions and more.

Examples of gameplay interpretations I share similar values with are shown in part or in total by these players: "Controlled Pair Gaming", "SmokeTv", "Leo-k [Rogue]", "vibing dusty", "F.I.S.T.", "riloe", "vaessili", "crag" (they can all be found on youtube).
