It looks good even though I like the militaristic current background. Maybe it should be a little busier in the black space. I don't know though.

W00t looks great.
Linus:
You just copy over the Shell from the Mod Tools assets and edit the tga files located in the Textures (I think it called textures :P) map. I did this to centering the GCW but this is really AMAZING :P

EDIT: You can put in the Xbox or PS2 movie backgrounds when editing the Common but that would be (:() illigal.

@ MasterSkywalker -- we'd need the movies too, which we don't have.

And what about the menu from battlefront I, porting that would be sort of legal, right, since (almost) everyone here has it....or am I wrong...

It would only be legal if we had the movies in their original, non-munged format, which we don't. Plus, scripting the BF1 menus into BF2 would suck bigtime because there's lots of new features that aren't in BF1.

You could just do what I did from my Jedi Invasion map. Download all the .mov trailer for Star Wars then use RAD video Tools to conver to to .avi then edit out the "trailer" stuff till you just have movie clips with like window's movie maker.

Now ya got a movie clip ;)

BTW looks great! :)

Awesome maxloef, I'm looking forward to the beta. Somehow those concept art drawings never looked very catchy to me...

Some movie pictures might though! :)

If you still don't know what you could do with the black space you have left over maybe fill them up with stars like this :):
