Looking good kitabatake .

They sent me an e-mail notifying me they were doing this live to a few thousand people. It was sort of a letdown, I was expecting them to uncover a part of the storyline — if anything, at least something like they did with the intro cinematic of Tychus. This was just one more set of flashbacks and flashforths, how is it different from the trailers we've previously seen?

 

[Vengeancekael]

It's always more exciting for me when they don't mention much of the storyline and when you play it, you're just blown away by the plot.
Besides, it's a launch trailer, it has to be exciting.

Sry for doing this here, but I totaly get lost in Staff Contact. So I would like to moderators think of giving BnG 2 DC rating, that map is I think one of the best on the THW and kitabatake has made so good progress, so I think to it is worthy of DC rating.
