Welcome to HARDMAPS

Hardmaps was formed in July 2003 by Wedge when he got his new ADSL connection.

Thinking what to do with his new faster speed, he had an idea to start hosting some coop games in Delta Force Land Warrior a few hours at a time.

Over time his server got popular, and he had made good friends with regular players so he decided to leave his server up more often so they could have fun on his server while he wasnt there.

In January 2004 Wedge bought hardmaps.com so Hardmaps would have a solid foundation to start *HmS*, and this is when things started to take off in a big way, the squad is invite only, squad members are always on the lookout for new members who fit the bill, we dont take in very many new members at a time, it takes a special person to wear the tag, we are not interested in size, we are interested in unity and friendship in being part of an extended family who look out for each other.

With new squad members came the opportunity to have more Hardmaps servers hosted by squad members or dedicated machines which let us branch out into Task Force Dagger and Joint Operations. Each server has a player stats tracking systems which goes into a main database for you to see how well (or not) you have been doing.

You can upload your own pictures and browse the other pictures on the hardmaps gallery, and you can see if you need anything in our extensive download section, you can have a game on our arcade and browse our large forum. The website is always expanding with new features and points of interest.

We have a Ventrilo (vt) server which is free for you to enjoy with our pleasure and takes team play and fun to a whole new level, chat to fellow players while in our servers and make new friends along the way, our Ventrilo setup information and login details are in the website members menu once you login to the site.

All our servers have administrators to look after them making sure a stuck map is rolled quickly and any player not following our simple rules is removed, we also have a support e mail at support©hardmaps.com which players can use to report problems.

Hardmaps is maintained by 3 crew members, Trevor, grunt and Wedge. The Hardmaps command staff members are involved in hosting and/or other positions related to Hardmaps operations and administration.

Which takes us to the present day, *HmS* continues to grow and the servers continue to be as popular as ever.
We build on friendship, team spirit and team work which is at the heart of the Hardmaps foundation, we would not be where we are today without the squad members we have helping and playing to make us a great place for you to have fun.

If you have any comments or suggestions please contact a member of the Crew or leave a post on our forum.
