My name is Frederik and I live in Denmark, pretty close to Copenhagen. I just finished some add-on education in math, and now I'm just waiting to start at a IT-business university in Copenhagen, which starts in August.

My gaming career started back in 2003, where I got introduced to Battlefield 1942 by some friends and I was instantly hooked. Battlefield 1942 was in my opinion like a revolution to FPS-games; anything and everything was possible because of the sandbox element of the gameplay. I played that game for two years or so, but unfortunately I slowly became inactive in that scene. When Battlefield 2 came in 2005, it didn't catch me, and I never really played the game.

Then in 2006 when I heard about ET: Quake Wars, I really wanted to try that game, so I signed up for the beta together with Peter 'utr' Mogensen, and in the beta we raged some of the Dignitas players then got the offer to play as a part of their team which we, of course, could not refuse.

The most enjoyable game so far has to be Battlefield 1942. If it was released today even with top graphics and so on, then it would not be a success at all. But as I said, back then it was all so new and in my case it was a breakthrough for gaming, and for clans too. The game which has brought me most fun socially has to be ET: Quake Wars. The competitive features in that game made it so perfect for competitions. Unfortunately, they made some aspects in the game too complicated, and it was very hard for many people to pick up the game and just play it.

Call of Duty 4 is a great game, and I played that over a summer together with some awesome guys over at Roskilde Ravens.

There are many, but the first one that come to my mind has to be winning Quakecon 2007 in Dallas together with Team Dignitas. The trip itself and the final was just amazing, raging some Americans and winning 22.000 dollars - it just can get any better!

First of all, the players have to be more professional themselves because there are so many clan jumpers out there which makes it hard for organisations to pick up a consistent team. Also the event/online cup holders should pay out their prizes, it's so much out of control already.

Bad Company 2 is a great game, and in my opinion the best DICE has made since Battlefield 1942. The engine especially is a breakthrough if you ask me and the destruction aspect is the future in my opinion.

We have been waiting for the competitive features since the release, and we make no secret of it - lack of functionality has affected our motivation a lot, because these fixes keeps being postponed. Hopefully that long awaited patch will fix everything that needs fixed, but it might be too late. Many teams are already inactive, like us, if not totally disbanded.

The skill level is relatively high at the moment online; offline it seems to be an other story *wink wink*. There are some aspects of the game which I would like to see changed, also competitions in the Squad Rush mode is just a joke. It's way too random, and does not require much skill. I would like to wait a bit on making any comments on the strongest teams, before I see how they perform at LAN events, and not just online.

A good Battlefield player is a dynamic player who can play and take the right decisions no matter how the game goes because in Battlefield you never get identical situations. A team-minded approach is also very important because a 'rambo' type would never have any success, teamplay is the main thing in Battlefield. A tactical understanding is a good thing too, together with good communication between you and your teammates.

Hopefully DICE and many other game developers some day will understand that there is good money in supporting a game for competitive play, just look at Heroes of Newerth as an example. That said, I am a fan of DICE and I admire most of their game projects/productions.

Some people see Bad Company 2 as a beta for BF3, and I kinda agree on that. It's going to be the same engine with improvements, but now they know how it works, and hopefully they will integrate a restart function in the Battlefield 3 retail amongst other things we've been asking for!

All online tournaments in Bad Company 2 are hard to take serious if you ask me. It just won't work online until a proper anti-cheat function is made, especially when you don't have a spectator or demo function. I'm happy to see the LAN events showing up but it's just sad to see events picking up so many different game modes, instead of making some sort of standard for everyone to use.

Brink indeed looks very interesting, as far as I know it will also support a 5on5 game, which I personally also like better. It is hard for me to comment on the game as I haven't tried it yet of course, but from what I have seen it looks very promising. So yes I will definitely try out Brink, and so will most of my teammates.

I try to have a balance between real life and gaming, which can be very hard sometimes as I of cause have goals in both. It all depends on how much time I need to spend at university. I won't be playing part-time though, I have always had the principal that you go all in, or you don't do it at all.

I will be at Dreamhack this weekend, and at Multiplay i40 in August.
