Hey everyone here at Halomods

Is there a clan match system in GoW?
I don't Epic's not allowing you to play with friends in a ranked match is bull-oni.

A little too simple...you could have done all of that in HTML except for the gears spinning back to their original position when they aren't being rolled/moused over.

Yeh it is a bit simple but i havnt finished it yet. Also i agree that that patch is bull.

The clan match's will be done in player match. Finding clans to verse will be the hard bit.

It's good, but it's too simple. The gears are too hard to roll over.

Its great, I know how time-consuming this is.
Just on the menu, it seems a bit empty, and I agree with Ravnz.

Hmm... Something about is nice, I like it. It's just a tad too simple and empty. I recommend adding blood spatter or a render of one of the characters or maybe your clan's logo.

i like it but i despise how it stops me from using my taskbar and hides my links and address bar on ie7. i had to alt+tab to get bck to my other window. i'm not a fan of people messing with my browser, i usually just close a page as soon as that happens.

Here's a hint: Don't use IE at all.

THanks for the comments guys btw it still is a beta. I might put a blood splatter background or such.

btw rotten that has nothing to do with my flash template. I just export it like any other so yeh take G.I.R.s advice and dont use ie.

well i only mentioned it because when designing websites one of the big things you want t ogo for is to make it user friendly no matter what broswer the visitor is using. so if you are only targeting people interested in clan matches for gow using firefox then you are doing a good job but if you would like to have more than just that small group of people use this website than i suggest you make it more user friendly. it looks good though.

i just opened ie after xxxx days of not using it, and it works fine. maybe your screen resolution is too small or something.

I like te fact that it is so simple. Extravagant flash sites for some reason seem to put off the site, and also take in consideration that not everybody will have a fast connection, and since this serves more as a gateway into a site you want publicly viewed, it's best not to make a flash too big, and too long to load. You got it balanced good, and double checked it on my slower connection.

Yeh thats one reason i kept it simple. Also rotten i dont know how to fix your problem. When making flash all i do in the end is extract as .swf and upload. Thats it so unless its something that dreamweaver did when importing i dunno.

Anyway this may not even be used as a site it is good practice for myself also/

the template is set at 800x600 as the page source indicates...
Perhaps, give it no set size, so it automatically sizes to the current size of the browser (if your pc is laggy then one can just make the browser smaller and then the template will be smaller.)

Well how would i go about that scotty?
