Happy Belated Birthday IceOps and the Community!
 
Loved this clan and Community since joining and it's still kicking even after a decade!
 
 
 
And here's looking towards another Ten Years!

 
 
P.S; Lot's of nostalgia from those Xfire Screenshots, Makes me wish Obscurity was as popular as it was back in those days, Even the Zom DB was fun when I played.
 
-Kenai

On the 20th may 2020, it was IceOps Gaming's 10 Year anniversary of being open. 
It was 10 years ago I (IJzzo) started IceOps in the beginning under the name Blue-Clan [Blu]. We started with multiple servers but two became very popular, Softcore mixed and Hardcore TDM.
 
After few month we did a merge our clan with few other players who had a clan called iPower. However we ended this relationship already after 1 week because there were (maybe unjustified) doubts they are clean players. From here we had to rename again and used IceOps as our name for the past 9 and a half years.
 
We added the mods Obscurity and Deathrun on our servers which became very popular and rose the interest in the IceOps community significantly. With the shutdown of the back then most popular Obscurity server "Retox Squad", our clan became the most interesting one for the Obscurity community and we got our second oldest member @Kenai who is still around today with us. I can not remember all the members we had before, over the years they were a lot, so I won't name any here.
When you have played on IceOps before 2015 then you are maybe interested in something we have prepared. The Xfire screenshots token by our players on our servers can be viewed now in the gallery under these links:

Obscurity + Zom DB
Deathrun
Deathrun#2 + Openwarfare custom maps
Hardcore TDM
Softcore Mixed
Openwarfare custom maps + (early)Deathrun
Sniperserver + Openwarfare2
Sniperserver + Deathrun#2
Promod
Zombies ZomDB
 
 
Time had been sometimes very hard with major internal conflicts, from today's point of few I had done some things different, but today we are still here and alive.
Over the time there has surely been some ups and downs. This could be from people leaving that were truly cherished at IceOps, to server updates and even brand new systems put in place for the better of the community like Sourcebans for example. 
Speaking now on behalf of the IceOps staff and myself, we would all like to say a huge thank you for continuing to be here. 
Running a community for so long has had its toll on the member count, but for the ones that are still here, you are not forgotten at all. We will surely be staying here running as long as you are here with us. 
 
Much Love
 
IceOps Staff

Hello everyone. 
Not so long ago I started playing Fortnite. In my opinion, it is not inferior to the same PUBG. A bit of cartoon graphics and a lot of construction make it truly special heh
This game is really addictive. And I think the amateur of the royal battles will like it
If anyone suddenly decides to try, you can write to me. I'm will happy to play with you.
 

Hey there everyone!
 
As you all may have noticed I could not keep the work up all by myself and IceOps was in lack of coding knowledge.
An update to our clan is needed to ensure IceOps' life in the future,  therefore the staff made some decisions.
 
At first;
Leiizko is gonna join my side and is gonna help me lead IceOps! His knowledge and his experience is such an huge value.
Leiizko will make sure everyone he will get known to every single one of you, and if you have questions, feel free to ask him
He will announce himself where he will tell something about himself.
 
This decision was well overthought, so no worries about a Hijack.
 
Leiizko will support me and help me with the lead and will be helping us aiming at other games.
 
The second; 
Wolfman will be leading a pilot!; IceOps Aiming at other Games. 
This pilot game will be........
 
 
DayZ! He will take the lead on creating a new section of IceOps. Eventually these DayZ players have to apply to IceOps as well. 
If their application gets accepted they are fully integrated clan members as well (After they passed their trail of course) They will recieve the IceOps badge on the forums but also a badge where everyone can see that they are a DayZ player. This applies to the COD4 players as well. Vice Versa.
 
So, if you feel like you have a game where IceOps can't be missed at and like taking the lead in that project? Bring up a nice strategic plan and send it to the Leizko or me and we will take it in discussion!
 
Ok... Unfortunately we have some sad news as well.. 
You may have read that our beloved @Lookout decided to quit being a part of IceOps. Unfortunately his activity is too low for me to wait for his goodbye post. (I will be waiting for it my friend) 
I already like to make use of this situation to thank you for everything you have done in the past! 
We will make sure your work wont bleed out!
P.s. Don't be a stranger around here  
 
 
Lookout will be set to Clan-member until he made his decision 100% sure. 
 
Fisher will be set to Clan-member until further notice. This because his activity is way too little to fulfill these important positions. 
 
Unless these sad news messages, i am looking forward to work together with Leiizko and the rest of the staff. 
We will make sure IceOps will gain his activity back, plus we will conquer other games. 
 
Bigger, better, stronger.. IceOps!

Hello there, this is a screenshot of you:
 

 
 
To keep this short you've been a bad boy this year and santa woflman gave you a fitting present. merry christmas!

Dear IceOps Lords.
You have shown, in any kind of way, that IceOps means something to you in (yet again) any kind of way.
Therefore we'd like to thank you!
So here we are with a small heads up and a look over the shoulder about last year.
 
Points of discussion in this message;
A lot has happened the past few months.
New extra Leader/management New Members/server moderators New Year (2018) New Goals for this year
We have all welcomed our new leader @leiizko
He has shown that he is someone with great leader skills.
This man helped the existing IceOps staff to his fullest!
We are all very grateful for your contribution and that's why we wanted to thank you once more.
 
As everyone may have noticed we have had some promotions in the IceOps Staff lately;
We did have 2 Promotions in our Management.
@Mighty Jayster Took over a spot in the Headmember section.
And TheMeanGuy @Kenai took a spot in the administration section.
 
And two new Members.
@Casarna
@VanZy
 
We have also welcomed our new server-mods:
@John Yuki 
@[^4E^0S^7T] b.acid.exe 
 
Keep doing what you do and serve our servers against hackers/rule-breakers. 
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Past year has been a year with the fullest excitement and ups and downs.
Now we are living in the new year, This means we set new goals and made up new plans.
 
To start with extention to multiple games like:,
We have added DayZ and PUBG to the list but this was only the beginning.
There is a poll open up to vote for a Minecraft server.
The poll is set up by @Mighty Jayster.
 
There will come more game's that will be added to the list.
Would be great to extend to other consoles like Ps4 And Xbox.
 
Do you feel like you're the one who can bring up some new idea's and games? Let us know!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
These spoken plans are the plans until now, as always plans are subject to change
So keep tuned and keep your head up!
 
We wanna make from our beloved IceOps an huge community with many new games and new members.

We wish you once again an happy new year
and a year full of surprises!
 
Best regards,
- IceOps Staff
- Aquiz            - Leiizko
- Kenai
- MightyJay     - Wolfman

Forgot about that one, it has been added now

Hey there everyone,
 
I have three new announcements for everyone today!
One is unfortunately a little less happily message, we have to let members go due to lack of inactivity.
 
First of all, we have to let go the inactive members to create an active constituency.
These members will be included; 
- Lookout
- Fisher
- Grondverf
- Joey
- Blackshark
 
All of the above listed persons are more than welcome to reapply when they are back at their activity level.
 
So now lets move up to the more fun part of this post!
 
Due to popular request from our player base in our servers we decided to create a screenshot system for the regular players. The players are only able to take two screenshots each game. If they can see someone is hacking they are able to report the offense to our forums. However there are limitations. To prevent abuse, for our admins and for our server activity, you will not be able to request a screenshot of yourself PLUS every player can be screenshotted only two times at max!
 
So, lets take Leiizko as an example. Since we all know he is using hacks, we are going to get a screenshot from his point of view.
This according to the following steps:
 
You will be able to request a screenshot of another player by typing "$pbss <player name>/<player slot number>" in chat. For example if someone were to request a screenshot of Leiizko, he would have to type "$pbss Leiizko" or "$pbss 0" in chat, where 0 would be the slot number of the player you are requesting a screenshot from. The Slot number can switch every round and be found by typing "$ministatus" in chat/console and looking at console output. You can also type a part of the nickname, for example "$pbss leiiz".
 
Once you have requested a screenshot it might take some time for it to complete. Once the screenshot is successfully taken, you will be able to access it at this website. If you find a player to be cheating, you can contact an admin with direct link to the screenshot or file a player report, again with direct link to the screenshot in question.
 
Note: this is a primeur for the whole COD4 world, make sure to use it in a proper way. If not so, we can easily pull the plug of this idea and go back to the old system!!
 
Lastly due to Promod server being constantly empty we have switched it to a normal Free for All mode to let players have quick and fun matches.
 
Furthermore we'd like to thank everyone for reading and wish you all a nice weekend.
If there are any questions remaining feel free to post them down below!
 
More updates to come!
 
- The IceOps Staff 

If I remember correctly - Wetwork was quite annoying with the infinite rain + didin't worked so well with the weather addition from obscurity. Same goes to downpour.

However I cannot say anything bad about favela, bloc. Those were good
 

I like the blue colour 

That's mine wallpaper.
 - I like simplicity.
 
I use wallpapers from https://wall.alphacoders.com/?lang=english if someone is curious.

@TheKelm I did not know you, but from what I've experienced, you've shown great leadership qualities...except for the lack of explanations, though I understand they take too much time. I suppose that is the reason that your quitting? Anyway, I wish you good luck in the future.
Also, umm..., who will take your place?

Greetings everyone.
 I will suggest some mods so everyone will have an idea about some mods we used to play in past and maybe forgot about them or we missed them.
Well the reason i'am posting this is if there will be any possibility in the future to replace a server or even hosting a new one, to have some mod
proposals so it wont take much time to decide which one to install. 
First of all i would like to thank you all for helping and participating on my last post and poll about mod installation. Good to see HnS again.
So...

1) Zom_db I'am sure everyone who played this mod is missing it a lot.
 
2) Paintball . This mod looks like real paint ball war. You have to calculate the gravity here since bullets does not go straight
 
3) Zombies mod. This mode looks litle bit like zom_db but in this case the zombie does not have any special powers and when a zombie knife a human he spawns as zombie also.( 2 vids )
 
  4)Sniper server with skins. There is already a server running with Mario skins but i don't think its hard to find some other skins to install. 
 
5) Have you ever played MW2 ? If not you can do it while playing Cod 4
 
6)Gungame. Killing people will upgrade your weapons.

7) Jump mod. For people loves jumping and spending much time to do some bounces and strafes.
 
 
****All this modes is for a future view. So in case of server replacing or hosting will get some ideas from here.
If you want to see any other mods here just sent me an inbox message with the mod preference so everyone will have an idea about it.
Thank you for your time.
All the best ... Chris 

I've played the Zombie mod a long, long time ago. Loved it. I've played the Paintball mod a long, long time ago and loved it. Played it more than Obscurity. I've played HnS once or twice. It is pretty good- Not better than PropHunt of course. Wouldn't mind us having the HnS and Zombie one, But sadly it's not up to me xP

@Rewbin


 
You could always pay a visit to my sex dungeon, but I guess it's too late now.
I was stunned
for a moment
when I saw it. 
I'll give you that. 

Always an easy way out to blame the captain
 
However, there's hardly been any resistance from my side when you or any other member try out new games. If it's not picked up and driven further by the community, there is hardly anything I can do about it. I also noticed the lack of communication you so blunt pointed out. Nonetheless, communication is a two ways street. A heads up about this for example, would have been nice, amongst other things...
 
If you know the fix for this sinking ship, then please let me know. My best thought on this is, to have a game (or even two) that we all play in common. Time to find that game ;D In the meantime, we'll be struggling through this.
 
Have fun playing your other games!

So I finished another drawing again and this one is one weird than the last. srly where do I think of this stuff, feel free to say what you want in terms of feedback  (had to upload the lower detail one file was too big) If you want to see the full thing check it here https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9XOB-OMO7uYUTZOQ3BXdzF3b0k

Hey guys,
 
this is not the first time i left IceOps, but it is the last.

I could write a book on how this community made me laugh and have fun. It is simply a part of my life together with gaming.

Personal life or not it is time for me to leave the community. I will still be active around the forums but i am hereby leaving the clan officially.
I know i haven't been wearing the tag, but ontop of that i don't see any contribution of me in the clan afther leaving COD4. 

Also the support i had was and still is greatly appreciated.

Goodbye and thank you for the great experiences and fun i had in the past.


@Lookout @Mc.Joker @Ninja @Fisher @Sniped  @Joe @Scott @Duck @Kye @Thepeoplethatimissedtagging

We hope our members and people who will apply will follow and respect those rules which are:
1. If you want to leave our family, you need to anounce it first.
2. You should ALWAYS start Steam before start playing because it is our communication method. ( This can change in future)
3. If you expect to not be online for more than 8 days, you are asked to announce it on our forum.
4. You are asked to visit regularly this forum. You should at least visit this forum every 5 days, especially the “IceOps Clan Private Section” to get the latest important information.
5. Wearing our clan tags prior to being accepted or applying will forfit your right to be accepted in the future.
6. Cheating of any kind will result in an immediate ban
7. Immature behavior isn’t tolerated.
8. Annoying or obnoxious behavior will not be tolerated.
9. Racial or sexual comments of any sorts will not be tolerated.
10. None is allowed to be in another clan which is primary based on shooter games as it might cause conflict.*
11. We reserve the right to revoke any membership even without giving the reason.
12. It is the members duty to show to other players he is a member of the IceOps clan when playing games. To do this you agree to always use the IceOps clan tag in multiplayer games unless it is difficult to achieve. This is not limited to specific servers or games. If you are seen without the tag few times without a good reason we might think you have lost interest and you membership will get revoked. Also we don't want to remember someone to do so.
13. Provide information to an Administrator if you are in another clan/community on another game.
We would like to say that we might edit, add or remove some rules as time goes by
and announcing that we will do a clan re organisation.

So like title says, I am able to "repreduce" the likes we had in the old forum by giving you "reputation points." (which is basically the same).
The whole system behind this reputation will be adjusted this weekend by myself. So, if you'd like to restore your "status," just leave a post if you remember how many you had and I can add them to your profile.
(Keep in mind redicolous numbers will not be added ;P )
 
Cheers
