A new era of After Effect

Welcome to the new website for the Battlefield 3 Era of After Effect. We are pretty much going back to our roots by stepping back into an FPS title and running our own server again. As you may already see a few things have changed - the tag is now AFX for a start its now back to "team" as opposed to gaming.

Back when we used to be Deceased Seven in Counterstrike we debated changing our name to something a little more catchy and thanks to Kolddoom After Effect was born. We debated for a while what the new tag should be and eventually decided on AE at the last minute(spelt the foreign way, I can't remeber the alt codes for it), funnily enough we actually went for AFX first and jonnie actually bought the domain http://www.teamafx.net. The reason for the change? Mainly its due to Battlefield doesn't allow for the foreign AE symbol for the clan tag and for a something different we opted to go back to AFX as it sounds a bit more funky than just plain AE.

I hope yous all like and appreciate the new site as a lot of time and effort has went into getting this up and running before BF3 hits. I intend to keep the site updated, I am going to do at least one article every week. The weekly updates will be a variety of stuff like history, member profiles, profiles of the new ranks system, reviews, random stuff on top of my head - if anyone else is interested in doing something give me a shout. Also can I encourage everyone to use the forums a lot more (I thought up a fun Karate ranks system for a bit incentive) and when the server is live in battlefield its essential that you use it as much as possible - its not an easy thing to get a popular active server but we've done it in the past and I think we can do it again.

I've setup facebook, twitter, steam accounts under @teamafx, whether these will be used or not remains to be seen, but we do intend to get quite interactive assuming the server is a success and we get some new faces coming in.

I leave it at that for the now and stay tuned for more content in the coming days/weeks

Cheers
Rza

I look forward to it! It's been a while really, and there's plenty of new names around, but it was hard to stay on the ball during the WoW years ;P You mentioned in your OP about if people are interested in doing something to give you a shout, so yeah, if you do need any help with the articles or anything in the future, let us know, I'm happy to help where I can =)
