Game demo video

[urgood2]

I was installing a game today, and I found that when the main menu is left idle, a demo game footage video will play.

Why don't we add this feature to WZ?
A demo video with skirmish, campaign and multiplayer footage will automatically play when the game is idle.

That's usually only done for action games, like shmups and such, for which demo footage looks impressive. Demo footage on a game like Warzone would look pretty boring, honestly.

How about adding a series of short video clips of some of the epicest moments of WZ?

But in my opinion, those people who have little WZ gameplay experience will be able to see the wide range of maps, weapons, etc. This would make them more excited about it, don't you think?

I suppose. What does everyone else think?

[macuser]

Nice idea but not top priority.

[Roux Le Corps]

agreed with macuser

[zarulhairee]

well, i think the menu should have video like all other games eh? like Starcraft 2, Left4Dead... they have a Menu video. probably show some good like cinematic or movie just like Red Alert 2 Menu video

If you took low level videos of units during combat, and stuff like clips of artillary bombardment, with ground and air attacks, I think it would make an intresting video.

What macuser said

[zarulhairee]

yes then make a in-menu video at background. rather then having a stiff a cool yet stiff pictures.......

I personally don't see the point. Seems like a waste of coding time if you ask me.

[MetalWarrior95]

Well there could be like coded background,i mean sequences...maybe just screenshots or short videos with combat,buildings...

Also the menu needs to be changed for that,all selective things/virtual buttons/triggers should be on the left and on the right there are videos...like you see that construct drones build something or vtol bombing oil rigs or they got shot down by AA...

That stuff!

[zarulhairee]

agree with the short video but not on the screenshot

I think better those vids play on the background of the menu. It's a more interesting concept.
