Interview with Team Frag'd - Bigfoot Networks Guild Partner
Team Frag'd has been a member of the Bigfoot Networks Guild Partner's Program since the start, and they have been an active member at that. We had a chance to ask them a few questions and if you are interested in a fun, high-skilled group of gamers, then look no further. Just check out one of their many epic videos, and read the interview below:
1) Who is Team Frag'd? How would you describe the organization?
Team Frag’d is not a clan, but a community run by moderators. We figured that a clan has one founder, and one founder cannot hear all of the voices of his/her clan members who have great ideas and opinions. So we started a community where PC gamers and console gamers can come together. Team Frag’d is devoted to giving back to the PC/console gamers, by having a fun environment for gamers to meet up with one another and get a game going. We are also open to hardcore gamers and casual gamers. Our website is www.tfragd.com
2) What games do you play, and what attracts you to them, and games like them?
We play games that have stunning team game play along with innovative graphics. At the moment we play mostly FPS games such as Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Team Fortress 2, Modern Warfare 2, Counter-Strike: Source, and the upcoming Medal of Honor (2010). We are also open to other types of games such as RTS and MMOs.
3) How did Team Frag'd originally form?
Team Frag’d originally formed from 2 members who were in a previous clan. We did a lot of hard work to help that clan, but never got any respect from its founder. We helped them with huge numbered tournaments in L4D, Red Alert 3, and Team Fortress 2. We will not tolerate not listening to lower ranked members’ opinions, because we know what it is like to see one founder mooch off the rest of his members/moderators ideas and labor.
4) What do you feel is the best aspect of Team Frag'd as a gaming organization?
We feel the greatest aspect is simply leadership. We try to be the best that we can when gaming, and ask that our members do their best when gaming. Not only in playing the game, but acting as a good representative for Team Frag’d. As leaders we help all who follow us whether it is on our forums, or in game.
5) Where do you see yourselves going in the future?
We expect to expand greatly, and get a lot of really good people on our team to play with us. We see ourselves getting some servers for our friends and members to play on. We are trying to get a Medal of Honor server and feel it will attract a good number of skilled gamers. We will continue to make our YouTube videos, and be a healthy community revolved around gaming!
6) Why did you decide to join up with the Bigfoot Networks Guild Partners program?
We understand how LEET Bigfoot Network’s products are, so we decided if we want to be the best we must start by using the best products. From the reviews we have seen already of the Killer 2100, we don’t regret joining the Guild Partners program for one second! We had to have that head start over the competition in the ever growing online worlds of gaming. It isn’t by chance that Bigfoot is also partners with top name companies such as Visiontek and EVGA. We understand that Bigfoot Networks means business when their partners are the top two sellers of ATI/Nvidia based products! We are really glad we were accepted for the Guild Partners program, because we have gotten to know the company better and we have a strong reason to expand with Bigfoot Networks behind us.

New Report: Killer™ 2100 Blows Away Standard NICs in Online Gaming Benchmarks
REDWOOD CITY, CA--(Marketwire - July 8, 2010) - The newly released Killer™ 2100 gaming network card from Bigfoot Networks sharply improves network performance for online games, even on high-end PCs, according to a new analyst study from Jon Peddie Research.
The study tested network performance on enthusiast and mainstream gaming PCs. The high-end enthusiast test systems were equipped with an Intel® Core™ i7 980-X six-core CPU and an ATI Radeon™ HD 5870 graphics card, and the mainstream systems with an Intel Core i5 CPU and an ATI Radeon HD 5550 graphics card.
The results revealed the strengths of the Killer 2100's Game Networking DNA™ technology, which maintains extremely low latency even while a PC is running resource-intensive applications such as online games. On the enthusiast platform, Killer 2100 reduced latency as much as 33 times and jitter as much as 85 times -- differences that translate to clear improvements in users' online gaming experience. By contrast, standard networking interfaces delivered comparatively poor performance, even inside the enthusiast PC, operating with Microsoft Windows® 7 and premium components.
