Either really good-graphics acting in PR or a compilation of military videos. Just like EoD someone mentioned above.

'[T wrote:BludShoT']IMO, the best would be a simple background "image" (but it has to be in a movie format) perhaps a 10 second loops with some kind of animation to it.
Wow, that's exactly what I was going to say...

I was thinking of possibly having a big official PR logo in the background that gleams and glows. (Or some similar effect)

Wait until 1.0 for this. Extremely low priority IMO.

As stated before, the menu movie has too low a priority to bother with. Changing it to an image would be best since the material in the current clip is outdated so it's not really moral in my opinion.
On a side note though, PoE has AWESOME intro music, it's all serious and fits perfectly with the mod's theme. I'm NOT suggesting anyone steal it but music of that sort would be great for the menu, something serious sounding that fits in with the mods harsh attitude.
This signature is here due to lack of imagination.

i think they should make a competition to the community like ''make a cool background movie and the winner will get the video in the mod'' <-- something like that :D

I think they should spend their time adding more content (more MBT's,apc's,choppers,weapons,skins,buildings,in-game music), fixing bugs, adding more maps, fixing older ones, working out ways to encourage more teamwork.
NOT making background movies that go for all of a minute anyway.

Sorry but that's JMHO and I'm voicing it again because I can't understand why you guys would want dev's to waste their time making/changing/intergrating something that doesn't effect the game itself.

I'm totally puzzled! :confused:

You took that guy's post completely out of context. He said it would be cool for the devs to hold a background menu contest for the community (That means people like you and mean with enough talent to create something like that). Personally I don't think there's nothing wrong with that, since all the devs have to do is include it in a release.

Which gives me another idea, would the devs ever consider holding a mapping contest? Where the top maps could make it into the next release. PoE2 had one a while back, and I think FH had a few also. PR has a very solid playerbase, and you can find alot of mapping projects from the community in the community modding section. I wouldn't be suprised if average players put out some good quality maps.

IMO keep the same one for now then when Maistros finally gets time to do the Basrah Script movie pop that in there

As for the Mapping Contest, that deserves a nice sized

I say a big fat NO to any real life footage as the background menumovie.
Why? This is a game. This is not a simulator of RL nor should that be attempted to be portrayed by using RL video. Call me names if you wish, it's just an opinion. ;)

Another opinion is to drop the existing BG movie and just have a still image there instead. Like the PR Splash logo?
Preferrably with a matching yellow tone of color! (doubt anyone remembers that.... ;) )

Either remove it or change it, but theres no point in doing it before 0.6, as it'll be out-of-date before it's even put in. TBH, it really is a finishing touch, so maybe remove it and then add a new one with the final 1.0 version of PR.

For all we know it might be true. PR won't live forever you know.
I'm not saying 1.0 will be the last but by then some nice new game will be out and we will all be in wheelchairs or 6 feet under! :lol:
Old age is a *******.... Just so you know it... :p
