New Battlefront II screenshots, taken by me.

Honestly I'd have to re-read the installation agreement for the beta, because that's the only thing I've agreed to. I don't even know HOW to take screenshots in game (the function that was normally present in SWBF1 isn't here, and I'm sure for good reason, they don't want to have just anyone distributing screenshots to the public)...

Anyway, if Pandemic/LucasArts is against this I'm sure they'll take appropriate action. So you accept the consequences of your actions here, regardless. If they complain to us, we'll know who to blame!

PS: It looks like there's some repeats in your list. Might want to check that.

Oh well, good screens while they last.

If it is, then you better shut up if you know what's good for ya! I'm assuming they didn't specifically give him permission to post these.

You can take screenshots from the beta like in SWBFI, you need to press the F9 button and then you have your screenshot.

I would take screenshots if I still has the Beta....but I am fine with the PS2 demo.

Atkins · October 11, 2005

Well the beta is free... There not losing any money over it, I,m just getting people hyped up for the game, makin them more excited about the game hence wanting them to buy the game quicker, so really they ow me money.... Or they at least ow not suing me

Commander Obi-Wan · October 11, 2005

They beta or the PS2 version are both fun...and is getting me all hyped up about the game too.

Atkins · October 13, 2005

See its getting commanderobiwan hyped up.

They might figure that by limiting the screenshots they can actually hype the game up more, by making it more "special." I'm just speculating here. That's why they give "exclusives" to magazines and sites that break the "first new screenshots" or "first screenshots of" whatever.

That and since it's a beta, they might be concerned that shots taken from it by amateurs might not show it in the best possible light to their target audience.

I'm sure we here don't care, but I'm just speculating about their logic.

In any case, nobody has said anything to me yet about not allowing the shots, but if they do, we'll take them down out of respect for them.

You have got something there. When they take their screen shots, I'm sure its with the highest possible graphics settings on. A normal player will not have everything upped to the max.

Kurgan · October 13, 2005

Right. And even though it's our job to find bugs and that sort of thing, they might be concerned that people will see the shots, think the game sucks because of some bug or glitch (not realizing that its only the beta), whatever and decide not to buy it.

I personally don't have a problem with distributing the screenshots since nobody is profiting from them in this case, but then I'm not Pandemic/LucasArts. They may feel differently.

In fact, now that I think about it, let's close this thread for now. I don't want to get you (or us) into trouble. We need all the beta testers we can, helping them out with the game. Plus it might make some people jealous.

If you want to put the screens on your own site or forum or privately, I can't stop you, but for now let's not post anymore amateur beta shots on these forums unless we hear from them or permission is given. Deal?

Obviously you could still post shots on the Official Beta Test forums and send them to developers, which is where they would do the most good anyway.
