On behalf of all of us in Kompaniet, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Gaming Year!

We didn't go pro in BF3 due to poor design choices , so we're casually grinding away in TOR and are having a blast.

Take care and watch your glögg-consumption!
I know I wont!

Cheers!

So updating isn't our thing...

...well here's the latest.

Some of us are playing BF3 and liking it thus far. Might be because we're not super serious about it at the moment (which usually results in hair-pulling over dev choices). We WILL build a lineup but if we will be playing anything else but casual pracs and tournaments remain to be seen.
We're waiting for some competitive changes for BF3. We want some options that are currently not available. Like locking aaaaaaall the shit up and using the same weapons and gadgets. No level playing field = no e-sports.

Meanwhile, we're staying drunk and active as always (even though it doesn't show on the news ).

Happy Midsummer's Eve all you gamers out there!
We wish you all an evening full of sill and nubbe and much logedans!

As for our current activities; we're not currently looking into going competitive with Brink. Reasons are plenty but to name a few: extremely low performance (I get ~50 avg fps with Q9550 and R4870HD), poor map design, little (if any) support for competitive gameplay. As usual SD's games have potential but it's yet again lost in their focus on commercial success. Why a game has to be poorly designed for competitive gameplay to be successful in sales is beyond me though.

Many of us are waiting for Battlefield 3 so it's a safe bet that next time you'll see us in force and "for realz" in competitions it will be in that game (unless DICE fucks shit up!).

Today is the european release for Brink. A class-based team fps game from Splash Damage - the creators of Enemy Territory: Quake Wars (and Quake 3 Fortress!).
We're a bunch of members that will try this game out, both competitively as well as casually. And, as always, we're hoping for a well-balanced and fun team game that we can play for a long time.
Time will tell what lessons SD has learnt from ETQW!

See you out there escorting some weakling or some such!

In ~4 hours Rift launches for those that preordered the game (release March 4th otherwise)!
Kompaniet will field it's biggest squad yet in any game.

We're very eager to play with most of our both old and new members and look forward to some intense PvP slaughter.

We'll be playing on the english PvP server Whitefall as Guardians (unless something changes in the next few hours) and hope to see you there!


EDIT: Due to queues on Whitefall we ended up on Shivermere as Guardians! Feel free to join our cause or perhaps fight against us on the battlefield!

I know, we're lazy as hell with ever posting any news around here. But consider this our yearly update or some such .
First off; we wish all the gamers out there a happy new year and hope you had much sill and festivities in the holidays.
We're quite riled up with the prospects of 2011 being a good gaming year. Here's some of the games you'll be seing us in in the near future:

The "while we wait for something really cool" games:

DC Universe Online - something to play while we wait for other games. Could be incredibly fun for a while at least. Seeing as they seem to have a very 'hack 'n slash'-approach to the combat. Fast paced and good opportunities for World PvP. Released 11/01/11! 19th in sweden :T. Video!

Rift - been playing the beta some and it seems to be a well accomplished game already. Very WoW/WAR but also with some new ideas on character specialization. Out March 1st. Video!

The "fuck yeah, this is the shit we've been waiting for" games:

Guild Wars 2 - looks like this could really hit a home run with its PvP focus and cool combat. Release some time 2011. Video!

PlanetSide 2 - as we played the first PS like crazy when it was released this is something we've been waiting for a long time now and we really hope SOE can improve the first game and create an equally action packed and frantic game with the sequel....at least! Release unknown and no video yet.

The non MMO titles we're looking at:

Brink - from the devs at Splash Damage, cool bunch of gamers that gave us ETQW (but didn't listen to my awesome advice and feedback in the beta ). Could be great...if done right. Release spring 2011. Videos!

Battlefield 3 - The long awaited sequel to one of the most fun FPS titles we've competed in earlier. Hoping for good balance and action with this one as well. Is apparently going to be revealed at GDC early March.

Natural Selection 2 - we loved the first game and did play some competitively. Loads of action and strategy! Video!

So yeah, we're still into gaming! Just lurking and waiting .
If you're into any of the games stated or have any ideas on others, drop a line below!

BRÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖL!

While is been some time now since we stoped to play Darkfall online for verious reason i finally got around to check some old recordings and had a decent film lying around so what not make it public! enjoy

Darkfall Movie

And in other news everyone now needs to make an account to comment on the site as chines spambots will have far to much fun if we let it be a free thing

This weekend 23 july we in Kompaniet will gather in Gothenburg for a party/lan to celibrate our 10 year (!) anniversary, yea you heard right, it's been ten years of gaming for us and we are still going strong and are growing in members count like never before. And to share some of our joy we will hand out some wallpapers for you to stare your self blind at.

BTW why not drop by with a beer and say hi on Saturday! (möldalsvägen 30a, hit the aktuelldata button at the entrence)

UPDATE: LAN/PARTY REPORT

I might do a proper news about this later on, I'm just rather bummed out at the moment so I'll just link to our farewell post:

Kompaniet signing off from GA.

Take care guys!

We have been playing this game since start now and its still loads of fun fighting other top teams like Intrepid, pain & animosity etc. Yesterday was teh D-day as We along with our alliance put down a "Forge" to start production toward a European zone victory! After 1H and around 50 min we entered the last fight on this action packed zone (best in the game according to most people) vs intrepid A-team the finest of them all in terms of competition. The game didnt have to go full time, in fact after 2/3 into the game the alliance chat sprung out in a big "GGs" "WIN!!" cry-out as Mpire won the zone. How did the match vs intrepid go then you ask? well check out the movie made below!

The developers have been in preparation for the next big and game changing patch for some time now and when 1.3 comes (1-2 weeks maybe) it will almost be a new game. But what we care most about is the hopefully continued action-packed PVP matches ahead with new rule & changes to tryout and adapt to. Cu in 1.3!
