senseful loading screen.

Now this might be one of the smaller things that annoyed me with RO but I never understood why when you were at the loading screen about to be in the server, the loading screen would tell you which map it was loading but then would just show a bunch of random screens (usually of danzig) that didn't help at all in showing you what the map you were about to play looked like. This makes it very hard for beginners to know whats going on when they join, as well as knowing what the custom maps look like.

I was thinking instead of just random screens, how about an overhead layout of the map with maybe a brief history on the battle and the main objectives highlighted or something along those lines. It would be nice to have a taste of what the map looks like and where im going to need to go to either cap or defend the objectives before i am even in the server

Good Idea like in the old Mod days.

BF2 does very well in this department for having a loading screen that shows a briefing, game mode, small layout of the map and other info on the maps background picture. There's music, too. Here's a sample:

I was just thinking if RO:HOS could have a similar loading screen, but with a look that is reminiscent of the time/scenario. Atmospheric music with sounds of war would be great aswell. If I remember correctly the Forgotten Hope mod for BF1942 has such loading screens.

...Just wanted to add, that music in the video is from Stardust! I thought it sounded familiar Took me a while, but case closed, boys!

Don't show "tips" at a loading screen unless they are really helpful, I say. Even if they had just one screen that was a nice concept art of the map with Russian or German soldiers fighting or just walking along, that would be nice to look at. Coupled with ominous music with battle ambience in the background.. can really get a guy in the mood. I find the rumble of distant artillery very effective.

hmm yes definatly one of the things that got on my nerves, loading screen should portray the map your loading too and whats going on ( small writeup ETC, perhaps a few rotation tips for each map )

This. Or, at the very least. each map should have a unique loading screen.

This is how I want the loading Screen the one in RO was really boring.

At first I thought my rig crashed because it stayed on that one pic for like 2 minutes. lol

i would like the loadingscreen to have something that clearly shows the map.

The longest time players actually see a mapname is during the loading of a map. If they can clearly see what map it is loading. They can connect the mapname to the actual map faster.
