Tanathos, i was in mexico for a week. I'm sorry for not commenting. I was actually suprised the thread stayed alive in my absence. Anyways, i have no idea what you're trying to do with your first 3 pics. No idea. Your last 2, however, were much better. The middle picture (the one where the view is slightly sideways) is very good. The last is a very cool atmospheric picture. I love that part of LOST. Very photogenic. Anyways, good on the last two, bad on the first ones.

People, people. Don't post pictures that have HUD icons or the weapon visible, please. You can usually photoshop them away, and if you can't, try to crop it to remove it, and if you can't do that... don't submit it. I mean, Ollj's last two were just screencaptures, they were not even cropped.
I absolutly love pic 1,7 and 8 Worthy of wallpaper on my computer.
For pic one- I love the blood trail effect going on like theres a lerk
For pic seven- I love the splash of blood thats hovering right near the dead marine. Its like the fade slashed him really quickly and stylishly too fast for the blood to even splatter on the floor.
and for the last pic. it is so freaking cool because of the squad that is witness to the horror that is a single marine being mauled by kharaa.
Totally cool *thumbs up <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I'll fix my sig in a sec. Gonna make a new one that hasn't got as much height.
Also Gnat... Did you notice the fade behind the HA on pic 1? To me it looks like it's just blinked through annihilating everything in it's path. Nice pics Ollj... Be better if they were cropped though.
Thanks for the input guys... Am gonna try get a few more today <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Hehe... Got some more. Had about three different angles of each one... Had to pic which I thought was the best lol. Anyways. No weapons in these ones. No HUD except for the cursor... Which I am rather sorry about. Forgot about it . And I rather like them <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->.

I rather like the 5th one. At the time the HA was crouched in a corner attacking a lerk which was flying straight at him. Looked cool when I got it I thought. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
There are hud icons in each one. That cursor is everywhere, I also saw a crosshair in one of the newer ones. It's not hard to photshop them away anyway, and you can move the cursor off screen. They really ruin the images.
Ack! Didn't notice the cursors... Damnit. Well I'll photoshop them out in future ones... And i'll edit my post to say sorry about the cursor. But aside from that... What you think?

RIPZAW! wow, my friend, i must say you've truly got the eye. Great pictures. some definitely better than others, but they're all noteworthy. I was very impressed. the fact that they're so high res also helps. Makes anything look ten times better.
Kouji, besides the fact that your "picture" isn't really a picture at all you didn't break too many rules (and you added your OWN HUD icons). I said i liked it. Isn't that enough? my opinions don't matter anymore than anyone else's on this thread anyway. I just try to enforce the rules.
Thanks Foxtrot <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> .... My new friend lol. I play NS in 1600x1200 so that is why they are high res. Gonna get a load more tonight. I usually get about 30-40 at a time and pic out the best 7 or 8. Takes me about 10 minutes to pic out and edit out icons... Takes me about 3 hours to get them all lol. Thanks for the critique and i'll try to take out the arrows etc later on <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Lol... Went on a spree on co_pulse tonight. Got 13 better than average ones. Photoshopped the cursor and other HUD icons. So hopefully a better batch. Some of them are big though. My apologies for the 56k'ers.
Again... My apologies to the 56k'ers. If you like these I will get some more. If not then this will be my last bunch. Also the biggest bunch of the lot. Post comments and what I could be improving on and If you like them or not.
