MikeyD Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Looks like BFC's pondering the prospect of properly advertising TOW. If its not an Xbox game or a HALO spinoff you're probably not going to get nearly enough free publicity from the various outlets. Care to annoy Moon with a critique of this ad? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vergeltungswaffe Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Interesting to show only rubbled buildings, since we'll be able to actually play with those...

Sequoia Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Mikey did you make that ad? It's beautiful. Make one for CMSF too! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted October 4, 2006 Author Share Posted October 4, 2006 Ha, no it wasn't me. Its off the BFC blog this morning. Real-live stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Grey Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 As long as the game can stand up to the expectations and promises that were made in the ad there shouldn't be a problem. I like it - reminds me a lot of CM. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went and checked out the blog. I like this one but the other one with the falling bombs makes it look like it's an air game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted October 4, 2006 Author Share Posted October 4, 2006 My one criticism of the ad is there's no subhead! That text just cries out for HEAD - SUBHEAD - TEXT. The headline is meant to get your attention. The subhead is as much text as you figure most people will bother to read, and the text itself is reserved for those who are interested enough to pay proper attention to the contents. A good subhead from the text might be "The Ultimate WW2 Tactical Combat Sim" Between the "This time it's war" andthe subhead that's about all anybody needs to know about the game! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sivodsi Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 My problem with the panther-turreted M10 poster is the disparity between the game art and the screenshots. The screenshots are of pastorial beauty with some equipment wandering through, while the American Panther is bursting out of an urban hell. Isn't this rather misleading? And perhaps the discerning customer will wonder whether there will be any other inconsistancies between what is claimed and what the game is really about. Hope I'm wrong, I want this game to be good and popular. edited to add: agree with Sequoia about the other one looking too much like an air sim.

MikeyD Posted October 5, 2006 Author Share Posted October 5, 2006 "My problem with the panther-turreted M10 poster..." You mean the 90mm gun M36 "Jackson" pictured? (though I doubt anyone every really called it the 'Jackson' before the old Tamiya kit came out.) I remember modding one of those for good-old CMBO, maybe one of the first mods I ever did 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sivodsi Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Doh! I stand corrected. I'm not familiar with the shape of the M36. Guess it comes from finding the CM scries after CMBB came out - the improvements were so much better that I didn't play BO as much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
