Omg... I just predicted everything you said in that post MBeggar, down to the very words. I saw the pic, thought "too much going on", saw you post with those words, saw your sentence "mabe if you removed some of the little things that are harder to notice, like..." and couldn't read the rest because I had to scroll down, then I saw the guy at the bottom left corner, and saw you sentence, "like the guys at the bottom left corner".

Same exact thing as the first 2 posts. Little too much going on. I do think it's very very cool though. I think you have a good chance at winning the contest.

No, they're right. My eyes are fine, i had to test them yesterday, and i think there's waaaaaaaaay too much going on. Why not make a screenie of a battle with like 4 soldiers, edit it in photoshop to make it look better, and use that?

Wow, you ask for opinions and then claim people have bad eyes when they politely (surprisingly) give you very good criticism. Way to go.

I’m going to agree with the first two replies.

On the artistic note, it looks like a bunch of random pictures thrown together with the edges blended away. Cool, maybe, but random.

On the background note, it's far too loud. Looking at it makes you want to keep track of all the images at once, and it makes your head hurt.

However true, it's still cool. Let's call it a collage instead of a background.

There is seriously way too much going on in that image!
do you really need that guy parachuting? You can hardly see it in the first place! then the other guy shooting to the right on the extremely transparent layer, thats hard to see as well. You have way to many mixed layers and that makes the desktop hard to appeal. I would never use something with so many images on it, its just not practical. Now if your not going to use my comments to your advantage then fine, I really don't care I was just trying to help.

See, I would try to arrange it in a little more logical order, like placing the darker images farther to the left and bottom and the lighter ones to the top and right. And maybe add a large image with sky or some solid colour for a place to put icons.

And **** , when did AA start looking so good?

I guess I am just a wild desktop guy but the darker to lighter images sounds like a possablitly. I wasnt trying to instult them or not take the ideas i just Dont think its hard to see my icons on my desktop with this wall paper...

I can tell its 1.9, because I see the instructor for Controlled Breathing for medic training, [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif]. It is a bit andom, maybe fit the AAO symblo in the middle of al of it, or something like that.

It's a free, stand alone game, not an expansion.
