For those of you guys who haven’t had a chance to meet Cookie, you’re seriously missing out. Cookie is one of the funniest most personable members of our Battlefieldo community. He cracks me the hell up all the time, and has this personality that just makes you enjoy being around him. I’m pleased to announced that Cookie will today be brought on board as our first official ”Clan Recruiter/Welcomer”. In this new role he will assist Grizzle and myself with the recruits, trialists, and driving membership to the clan. Please congradulate him when you see him.
Bio
Cookie, aka Michael, comes from Belgium. He’s still a student and is currently in his final year of High School. He has plans to study IT after High School at university and achieve a Master in Networking Management and Distribution. He keeps him busy with school with his final essay about Cloud Computing and loads of other work. Once a week he goes to MusicSchoolas well (he’s in his final year of it). He has a nice Keyboard to play on, for the experts a Yamaha PSR-1500.
Cookie fell in love with FPS Games from the beginning. The same counts for PC-Gaming. Consoles were never his thing. The first real game he had was Call Of Duty 2, a clean and simple World War 2 Shooter. He signed up with at a non professional clan and made a few good friends up there, but he never got into Call of Duty that much afterwards. He did buy “Black Cocks” to give it another try, but soon realized only the Zombie Mode was descent enough. He also played a few Age Of Empires’ and some Half Life 2 based Mods. After a while he discovered Battlefield, Bad Company 2. Instantly he left Call of Duty buried in dust. As he was searching for updates about Battlefield and the upcoming, he stumbled upon Battlefieldo and signed up.
“Instantly I knew that this was the place I was searching for.
Quality and Mature are keywords that are present up here. ”
Although Cookie doesn’t have the best rig, he still manages to get pretty descent gameplay… He has an AMD Athlon X4 620 Processor @ 2.60Ghz, A Nvidia Gefore GTX 460 1Gig and a 650 Watt Power supply
He takes life easy, and enjoys some peace and quiet once and a while. One of his favorite quotes is: “We think too much and feel too little”.
Interview:
What were your thoughts on the BETA? And now, with the final being published for about 3 weeks, were you impressed or disappointed with the final build looking back?
Before the BETA even was released, I was already stunned by the graphic quality of the game. I was excited what the new Frostbite 2.0 engine had to offer. The BETA just confirmed my expectations. Although some complained about game play issues, I didn’t have any problems with it because I didn’t want to complain about the details as it was a BETA. Now the final game has been released I’m just enjoying it even more. I do expect more from the game as its final built, but I’m sure DICE will bring up the updates to fix the bugs as quick as possible. I am stunned… From the beginning ’till the end.
What is your favorite class? Favorite weapon loadout?
My favorite class is Assault. I love the M16A3 with a red dot on it. It’s also a good looking weapon and shoots pretty accurate in my opinion. I’m getting into the support as well with an M249, but that’s when I’m playing as a Russian, ’cause I don’t have the ability to choose the M16A3 then x)
You’re most memorable moment in Battlefield 3 thus far?
I don’t really have my most memorable moment. I like it every single time I play the game. There might be some more memorable moments, but I think they will be there when we start playing BF3 on a tactical, advanced, strategic way. Then I might get some memorable moments (of epic-ness).
Rush vs Conquest? Offensive play style or defensive play style?
I like them both. It depends from time to time which one I’d like to play. Rush is a game I’ve been playing less, but still amuses me a lot. Conquest is a classic one that never gets bored. Lately I’m getting into TDM mode. I’m having this eager to just walk around and practice my shooting. – Some Quick Action. I’m mostly the defensive guy, but try get bypass the enemies and get all of a sudden offensive and pwn them from behind. I’m proud when that plan succeeds (which is not that often x] )
How long have you been a die-hard Battlefield fan?
I’m not a die-hard Battlefield Fan actually, although Battlefield convinced me quite quick. The first Battlefield I bought was Bad Company 2. Enjoyed it every single time! One of the best games ever back then.
If I was going to give you a copy of Modern Warfare 3 for free, would you play it?
I might play it, just to check it out. I won’t be too amused with it though. After a few days I would just swap back to Battlefield 3. In my opinion Call of Duty has gone the wrong way in innovative FPS Gaming. It’s time for them to notice what DICE pulled off and what they’re up against.
You’re one of our top forum posters, what do you love the most about the Battlefieldo community?
What I love most about Battlefieldo is that there are much space for a good laugh and some jokes, but also can become serious when needed. A good example was the first Clan Meeting. Everyone jokes around in Team Speak, but when it comes to discussing serious matters, we all change in a way to be the most productive community out there. Battlefieldo is built upon a good team that has the abilities to keep a community running. That’s what I admire the most.
Thanks to Cookie for his time and hardwork he puts into being an active contributing member of our community.
