What we do.


Founded in 2003, our clan, the Defenders of Stalingrad is different from any clan you will ever meet. We do this by challenging the defining goals many clans impose. These other clans burden their members with requests for large sums of money, large time investment, and force their members to follow unnecessary rules. They forget the reason you want to be in a clan is to share ideas, meet others who share your pc gaming interests, and to ultimately have fun.

Our Vision.

For over years we have followed our vision in the gaming community. As a result, we have impacted the lives of thousands of gamers from North America to Western Europe while playing the many games we love. While we have supported some of the biggest gaming titles, what further helps to set us apart is our focus on the more niche titles.

Requirements.

Our History: 2003 – Present.


From humble Geocities beginnings in 2003 to 23 years of holding the line—explore the key eras, milestones, and defining moments of the Defenders of Stalingrad. This archive draws from our preserved pages, Steam discussions, and member memories.

2003: The Awakening & Founding

Founded in May 2003 after leaving the Cronum clan. Early growth in GT Gamers and ECW leagues, focusing on Medal of Honor titles.

Read the full founding story

The clan began as the Protectors Rifle Division within Cronum before breaking off to form Defenders of Stalingrad. Early days centered on competitive play in Medal of Honor: Allied Assault and Spearhead, with notable success in the ECW league semi-finals. View the original archived Geocities page: Original 2003 site.

2009–2011: Peak Years (BF:BC2 & FH2)

Our largest active period—strong presence in Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Forgotten Hope 2, and other titles. Membership peaked with competitive matches and community events.

Read the full peak era story

After a period of reconstruction, the clan thrived in Call of Duty: World at War, Killing Floor, and especially Battlefield: Bad Company 2. Forgotten Hope 2 became a staple, with regular practices and matches. This era saw our highest active member count since early years. Full detailed history (2019 Steam post): Read on Steam.

2013–2018: Drought, Life Changes & Reforms

Real-life commitments slowed activity, but core members kept the flame alive through occasional events and rule updates.

Read more about the quieter years

Many members moved on due to jobs, family, and life changes. The clan remained online in small groups, with periodic rule reviews and anniversary events. This period preserved our legacy even as activity dipped. Details in historical Steam discussions.

2025–Present: Rejuvenation & Legacy Continues

Rules & ranks re-ratified, Forgotten Hope 2 server active, new members joining. The 23rd anniversary approaches—holding the line stronger than ever.

Read the latest updates

Member Since 2009

Crabb is the seventh 2nd in Command in |DOS| history, and holds joint command with Keymaster. Crabb, while in the clan "in spirit" for years, officially joined |DOS| in 2009 during The Reconstruction. Helping when few could, he assisted with recruitment in Call of Duty 5, was a server administrator, and led many successful clan matches. After the switch to BFBC2 his leadership helped grow the clan to the largest number of active members since the support of COD: UO.
