Bring back the main menu backgrounds back from the demo!

[Chunk3ym4n 10]

Is anyone disappointed with the backgrounds of ArmA II? Inside the demo it showed helis flying to Utes and all that stuff with the dramatic music but now we just revolve around a LHC. Inside the Chernarus background for the demo we had helicopters launching missles at shit and vehicles but now we just have some panarounds of Chernarus with some glitched out walking sheep. Does anyone here want the old main menu backgrounds back?

Even though Its not an issue I totally agree with you, the opening sequences should show off some combat or something, imagine a night firefight with tracers flying everywhere!!?

I really hate the Chernarus ones, since they're all scenary and boring pans of animals and shit.

I was actually going to make a mod that added cooler sequences but Im a noob at modding and it probably will never happen :(

Haw, I use world=empty so I see an action-packed infinite ocean. :D But seriously, how much time do you spend at the main menu?

You could extract the intro mission from the demo and incorporate it into an addon I bet. For each world, there is a 'scenes' directory iirc, and it contains a little intro mission that isn't really a mission but a bunch of cameras moving about. Its a mission that plays itself basically. Depbo utes and see what I mean.

I rather like the Utes demo, it's calm and soothing just like OFP's Desert Island demo. The Chernarus one though is pretty useless.

I also liked the OFP desert intro with those tank wracks and crosses, some with a helmet on top very much :)

Maybe someone could recreat this one with including the OFP music ^^

Those of us with an understanding for æsthetics need inspiring backgrounds to get the right kind of atmosphere for gaming or editing.

Οh, now I gæt it! :)

With a lot of battle in the menu it also has to load longer to start the game since it has to load that mission.

No thanks for me personally. I want to get into the game as fast as i can. Those times you have to restart and your mates are waiting...

I've been wondering about this, I'd like to have the demo backgrounds back too. I usually use -world=empty, but after I've loaded a map and come out of the editor, the world is there. The Chernarus one is especially lame.

I'd rather the game load quickly so I can play it not gaze at the menu.

wheres the "who cares" option...I think I spend about a total of 20 seconds in the menu whenever I play the game. I'd rather BIS work on actual problems that make the game run better

I find it good sometimes to just look at the main menu before doing anything to "set the mood" or "pump myself up", it's also good to play in the background while doing something else e.g reading, right? ;)

I used to like the one on OFP where that M113 attacks a Russian checkpoint, something like that would be cool :)

Yeah, that demo was awesome. It was fascinating to see how the fight went differently every time.

I'd say make the menu background black and bring us some more units and gear instead :p
