About Us

Our Vision, Our Culture, Our People

Who we are

DUSK Combat Force is a family oriented gaming organization and community that helps foster genuine friendships through the love of gaming. Since our founding in 2008, everything we have built has been rooted from the fundamental values of respect, loyalty, and camaraderie. We welcome gamers from all corners of the gaming spectrum and offer opportunities for our members to pursue their ambitions by growing as players, creators, and leaders. Our community is driven by the collaboration of our members rather than by competition. We embrace one another and strive to nurture an atmosphere that empowers positivity. Always remaining authentic to our core founding beliefs by following the motto “You’ll Never Walk Alone”, we never forget the unparalleled comradeship that we choose to game and live by, on and off the virtual battlefield.

OUR VISION IS TO EMPOWER POSITIVITY THROUGH OUR VALUES WHILE POSITIONING OURSELVES AS A LEADING BRAND IN GAMING, ENTERTAINMENT, AND APPAREL.

2008

Foundation

August 1st – DUSK was founded by advtel and hartage on Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare as a clan dedicated to uniting gamers from all over the world who shared common values.

2013

Crossroads

2016

Rebirth

January 11th – After a two and a half year hiatus, DUSK is rebranded and relaunched as a casual gaming community. Sparked by the popularity of Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege, the community undergoes rapid growth and a new era begins.

2017

The Vision

October 15th – Our CEO quits his full-time job to focus entirely on growing the community and transforming DUSK into a legitimate business. In the months that followed, a new leadership team was established, operating procedures were created, and we entered the exciting world of eSports.

2019

NJROD

January 26th – Our Call of Duty team competes at NJROD. A local LAN based in Bensalem, PA. Although we did not have a great performance, this was a monumental moment for our organization as it was the very first LAN event that we attended.
