Are there any links to that commercial anywhere? It would be good to get some ideas what is said in it.

The adverts give a completely wrong picture of the game which means they do not serve thier purpose.

A new person was asking how to get 3rd person in a fighter... like the commercial.

It's weak, can't tell what demographic they're aiming at.

Wow, that commercial wasn't bad at all. From what some were saying, I was expecting it to just suck.

The only minor weak spots are some of the outside views maybe, but overall I think it's a pretty good commercial.

If is wasnt for the arcadish views and that SUPER LAME AND ANOYING voice, i woulnt think ah needs a new comercial. However, like pyro said, there are a lot of great film makers out there, that can add more to it. Hopefully this will atract more of an audiance older then 14.

I would love to see the comercial show how the game "truely" is.

LOL, the "where can YOU... " really got under my skin even during the 1st viewing. The second time I could not listen all the way to the end

Actually, I just realized that I cannot even recall too many of the visuals because that voice got all my attention.

At least you guys have seen it, we don't get that channel here on campus...is there any place I can download it at?

Sigma,

See Rosco's post above.

He placed a link to the commercial there.

A good voice over can make or break a good spot. The ones that start out in just black for a few seconds or snow drive me crazy. I actualy have dumped out of spots that start that way and then have the sales person come running in telling me it was supposed to start that way.

So please dont make any like that or you'll have a lot of spots getting dumped right as they start, providing the station actualy has someone there paying attention.

A really great commercial for Aces high would be to show real life WWII clips showing a b17 being shot down, and then switch to a "film" of the EXACT same thing happening in AH, then back to a WWII gun clip of a 109 being shot down, then back to AH doing the same thing etc....

People (like me) sit and watch hours of these kinds of shows, and seeing 1 for 1 (WWII versus AH) comparisons would get me off my arse to log in and sign up.

JMHO

Anyone capable of putting together a film with interlaced clips ??
