There was a title screen contest a while back. You can find the original thread, I believe Pyro posted, if you fell like searching the boards.
It seems like false advertising to me. Imagine a first timer logging and seeing that picture and thinking "WOW! This game looks great!" and then getting into the arena and seeing the low quality clouds and lack of vapor trails. I, personally, would be pretty disappointed.
Folks, play nice.
I know, but I'm still curious as to why HTC would use it as the face of there game when it doesn't properly represent the game.I agree its an awesome picture and I wish the game actually looked that good.
It's not the planes or the ground its the sky, clouds, and wingtip vapor trails that I was talking to.
Are you talking about the P39s? Thats a cactus screenshot. He's got a much better machine then mine and has the graphics up high. Mine aren't and this is from the same fights. I'm in the 39 with K on the nose in the foreground of the opening screen. Soulyss is in front of me and cactus is the Cobra behind the flaming Zeke.This is from my film with lower graphic settings. Not sure what your issue is with his image. Wish my computer was a newer one and handled the graphics better, but I don't think mine looks bad either.(Image removed from quote.)
That is not retouched. That is an actual shot from in game.
LOL what vapor trails? Two of the 39s are leaking. That mine isn't is the only thing wrong with the picture. I take it you've never run into any 80th Headhunters in the arenas? If our planes aren't leaking something, it just means we haven't made it to the fight yet. Other then they it's either black or white smoke or vapor trailing behind us.
Sure looks like it's been enhanced to me
I believe you'll find one of the criteria for submitting is "non-enhanced" photos.
