    Are EB Team members allowed to participate? I would secretly hope one would <<accidentally>> post an EBII screenshot.

    No, we are not, but we have released many "accidents" in our previews. :)

    I think Gustave once 'accidentally' posted in an epic battle scene from an EBII battle. Needless to say it wasn't fair as that post would have won the competition

    Who knows, maybe an accident will occur soon, very soon.....
    Then the July(?) screenshot competition will find a winner!
    And we will need ambulances and all available TAXIS to transfer the fans to the hospital.

    And there were plenty of those in the same battle. Yes people, playing MP WILL get you better screens!

    To those getting screens in campaign, play with minimal UI, when you take the screen, press pause and then pres F5 F6 and F7 annoying UI will dissapear.

    Yes, and in Fraps, uncheck the "include frame rate overlay" option to avoid the yellow numbers.

    That's really the one thing bad about your picture. Well done!

    I was going to say, it'd be relatively easy to buff out as it is blue sky after all...you did a good job, both with the submission and the editing.

    Tip: Use the F5 and F7 buttons to toggle hiding of the UI (at least if you have 'minimal UI' selected. I don't know if it works with the standard UI).

    EDIT: Whoops, Lazy O already said that. This is what happens when you don't read the thread.

    I'll post my submission soon.

    Initially, yes, but GG2 came back and announced that they were fixed (it was when they still had AP that they weren't to be used). But that doesn't really belong here.

    Damn, I've got two really neat pictures and I don't know which one to choose. They're quite similar too, so it would be boring to use both in different contests.

    I would suggest you to keep it for next months competition.
    This month everyone will have another picture to love.....

    Remember my previous post here: "And we will need ambulances and all available TAXIS to transfer the fans to the hospital".

    Accident just occured my friend. Maybe you won't need a TAXI but Taksashila???

    The new preview won't let the fans to get involved in July screenshot competition and no-one will remember you posts this month.
    This is the only reason why I have mentioned "no-one will remember them"....
