G|u|N Clan History – From Origins to Legacy (2003–2025)
From a humble fusion of two friend-led clans in 2003, G|u|N (Global Unified Networks) rose to become the most respected rifle-only Medal of Honor: Spearhead clan in history. Through highs and lows, legendary players, unforgettable clan wars, internal challenges, and community rebuilding, G|u|N has remained a symbol of loyalty, tradition, and elite skill. As of 2025, after 23 years of Spearhead’s legacy, G|u|N still stands strong — as the last great rifle-only clan, and as a true digital home for all Spearhead fans at gunclan.org.
Before G|u|N, there were two separate clans: Kiwi Alliance (led by Che-Viveand) and Mexican Melee Army (led by Mariachi). Real-life friends, the two leaders merged their forces to create a new clan: Ka-mma. It was during this period that they encountered a rising legend: Silent. With a unique and unmatched playing style, Silent was challenged to take on the entire Ka-mma clan by himself — and shockingly, he defeated every single member with ease, showcasing a skill level far beyond expectations.
Silent’s performance left the founders in awe, and four months later, he was promoted to co-leader. He revolutionized the clan’s infrastructure: building its first website, launching real servers, and implementing tools like Xfire, MSN, and TeamSpeak.
In 2004, Silent formed the EFF (Elite Fighting Force) — an elite squad of 10 out of 80 members, each proving their worth with a 35-1 kill ratio. Ka-mma dominated clan wars, becoming infamous across the community.
By April 2005, Che-Viveand and Mariachi, the original founders of Ka-mma, decided to retire from leadership. Silent renamed the clan to G|u|N (Global Unified Networks). Expansion into Europe began that July, led by European founder Flamewar. He formed the F!A (Flames Immortal Army), recruiting skilled rifle-only players across the continent. This marked the birth of a new international era.
Nine founders laid the foundation: Silent, Sgt Slaughter, Flamewar, Fire, Big Daddy, Spaceman, Dahh, Danh, and Ottoziggy.
In 2006, founder Danh introduced new rules and ranks. The clan experimented with Battlefield 2 and Counter-Strike: Source. While BF2 didn’t gain traction, CSS flourished with near-nightly activity and recruitment.
In 2007, BF2 was dropped. G|u|N Europe launched its Rifle-Only Spearhead server. Flame and Crawford spearheaded recruitment and server population. Players like Kami, Shini, and Union joined. Flame promoted Crawford to clan leader for his loyalty and skill. The F!A held its first scrims (notably vs. RCR) and saw heavy European presence.
Meanwhile, G|u|N USA showed signs of slowing down, with leaders going inactive. But the global structure and website held firm.
2008 began with G|u|N USA launching its first COD4 server. F!A created its official website. Union and Shawn were promoted to lead Europe and USA, respectively. Shawn helped launch a USA Rifle-Only server and led new squads. But both leaders would later resign.
Primoz, Catgirl, and Zezo joined and became future veterans. Recruitment surged so high that doors had to be temporarily closed. The F!A won over 120 clan wars that year.
In November, G|u|N USA partnered with |LoE| to run COD4/COD5 servers under joint tags. The clan upgraded from TeamSpeak to Ventrilo, and training systems were formalized under leaders like Jorma.
2009 opened with F!A kicking inactive members. Undead was tasked with recruitment while Crawford took a break. In February, G|u|N won 1st place in a major MOH community tournament (Undead, Union, sub: Primoz).
Yet soon after, Undead left to form his own clan, taking others with him. This fracture marked the “Dreadful Famine” — one of G|u|N’s darkest times.
In June, Flamewar promoted Kamikaze to help restore order. Recruitment was low. Then, a turning point: Crawford returned. He restructured the entire clan hierarchy and began healing divisions.
Meanwhile, G|u|N USA collapsed. Their site and servers were shut down due to costs and inactivity. Founders like Sgt tried to keep it afloat, but the USA era ended.
At year’s end, top members like Shini, Primoz, and Google were honored for loyalty. Crawford promised 2010 would be a better year.
2010 opened with tragedy: 80+ war records were lost from the site. Crawford launched a new rifle-only league, but it was canceled mid-season due to other clans dropping out.
Recruitment was slow. Crawford later resigned in August, feeling unable to revive the clan. Still, veterans remained loyal.
In 2011, most members stayed in touch via Xfire and Facebook. Flame and Kami played World of Tanks, while others drifted to COD or MW2. At year’s end, Crawford rejoined, determined to rebuild.
2012 began with a new website, a popular Stalingrad rifle-only server, and the arrival of ex-Victus clan members – like Appelpitje, Vaccie, Sniper, Bulent, and 1manArmy. Multiple servers were launched, including Zombie mod and “Steal the Beers.”
Appel became a clan leader. Sniper became war arranger. Bully broke a kill record, later shattered by Crawford with 2,700+ kills in 17 hours.
But trouble came. Crawford promoted Atticus and Tilly to leaders, a decision he would deeply regret. Along with Dragan, they abused admin powers and divided the clan. Eventually, they left to form their own clan, causing further tension.
G|u|N officially cut ties with the new [f] clan after repeated conflicts. The leadership was reorganized. Appel briefly retired; Matador became war arranger; Vaccie became clan leader. G|u|N played 61 official matches that year, with strong win stats.
Friendships with AGB and TIP clans flourished. In November, Crawford moved to England and had a break from clan activity; Appelpitje assumed full leadership.
In 2015, G|u|N turned 10 years old. The MOH**:League** was launched, with 8 clans competing. G|u|N placed 4th. Appel and Crawford ran the league, even if Crawford didn’t play.
Longtime members like Catgirl, Vaccie, Sniper, and new faces like Chaoz kept the clan going. Xenon replaced Matador as war arranger.
By 2014, Gamespy shut down, removing server browser access. The community shrank. Appel and others helped build a new launcher tool for players to find servers.
2015 saw continued decline in active players. But the clan site was rebuilt again by Appel and Crawford. Crawford returned after a 3-year break. The community was small but alive.
Although most rival clans faded, G|u|N held on. Its site and servers stayed online. Forums remained active, with members joining public servers, scheduling matches, and preserving clan memories.
In 2017, G|u|N organized the MOH Spearhead League — a nostalgic and meaningful event that reconnected many long-time members and rival clans. Though smaller in scale than in earlier years, it served as a heartfelt reminder of G|u|N’s enduring presence and commitment to the Spearhead community.
Through the 2020s, the clan focused less on competition and more on preserving MOHAA Spearhead as a cultural cornerstone. A powerful truth became clear: no one who has ever loved Spearhead truly leaves for good. Whether taking a long break or just a short one, every player eventually feels the pull — the nostalgic rush of the battlefield, the spirit of the classics.
MOHAA has become a timeless piece of shooter history, a classic that stands tall among the greatest in the genre. For those who have ever loved it, the feeling never fades — whether you’re a returning veteran or a newcomer discovering its charm, that battlefield nostalgia always calls you back. Everyone who plays it eventually finds themselves returning, even after long breaks. It’s that emotional bond, that thrill of the past, that brings us all back together.
As of 2025 — 23 years after the game’s release — G|u|N remains the last major rifle-only clan alive. To honor that legacy and offer Spearhead fans a true home, we’ve launched gunclan.org — our site and forums built as a lasting haven for players across the world. It’s more than a clan website; it’s our digital homeland. A place where anyone who ever felt the rush of Spearhead can come back, reconnect, and belong again. Whether you’re seeking old friends, new battles, or simply that classic MOHAA feeling — this is home.
