Insane? Every settings is at VERY HIGH, not you? My video card is only a 660 Ti.

The screens for the Countdowns are 99% untouched from the game. I may touch up a particle effect if a barrel is poking through or remove Build info watermarks but otherwise my screenshots are directly from the game

I do embellish on Event and Sales but these are the only photoshop filters I use

• Levels - to brighten mid tones or lasers
  
• Unsharp Mask - to sharpen the image after I resize it
  
• Vignette - to darken the edges
  
• Radial Blur - to create a motion zoom effect
  
• Gaussian Blur - to fake depth of Field
  
• Adding in Props - Like Lucky charms or Octoberfest

Mostly the secret to taking good screens is

• Knowing what direction the Light is coming from
  
• Framing the shot with the lighting in mind
  
• Using Slomo to capture weapons firing in a dramatic way
  
• Taking a ton of Screens and Picking the Best ones

I took 188 Screens to get the 12 you see above

I have been sad this thread has died off ... https://mwomercs.com...ead-4k-edition/

at least it looks like the original thread was some new posts https://mwomercs.com...eenshot-thread/


Matt, do you also use some of the techniques that lordred used?

This time the hardpoints are correct, right? That Highlander looks like it is gonna be a great brawler, or ATM platform.

You know, I may have to re-consider my thoughts on the HGN-IIC Hero. I could use another platform for the Scorch/MCII-2 LB20X + SRM combo.

You should buy it. Not only it has the hardpoints to be a great brawler, it will get tons of durability quirks due to being a Highlander-IIC--quirks that Scorch and MCII-2 lack. I say Clanners will receive an excellent defensive brawler in this variant--too bad it is a Hero.

May I suggest you unlock those in Testing Grounds? So people who like to take some nice screenshots with an external camera would be able to...

I agree. I must say that I have some pretty sexy mechs that I would love to post screenshots of. The bay just doesn't cut it.

Plus if players could post these shots around the interwebs it's free advertising!

You just sold another Hero for PGI

Did anyone buy these heroes?

[Rhialto]

Matt, only in TPV I was able to see the blue smoke and it don't last much.



In FPV I don't see the flash followed by the blue smoke even though I see my canons perfectly from my cabin. Why we don't see it in FPV? Because of performance? I thought that if all settings, mostly particules, are at very high then all effect would show up.

[TheFallOfTheReaper]

Well I can say three of our unit got either the jenny, the hbk, or the hgn, I'll poll them Tomorrow, and two are thinking of refunds.

[Stink Bug]

So am I missing something or have the patch notes not been released yet? Are they not normally released days in advance?

Edited by Stink Bug, 18 September 2017 - 01:41 PM.

[TheFallOfTheReaper]

They should be released already but pgi has been "busy" with mw5 lmfao

[Mikayshen]

So why wasn't there a posting already with their quirks and such shown? Isn't that pretty normal for a new mech set?

[TheFallOfTheReaper]

Yes, but as my posts got ignored earlier in the week rolling up I realized they did not care/changed what they do for these roll ups/plain forgot, or intentionally held out for the "livestream" no one has time to watch four hours of to see what they want

[TheFallOfTheReaper]

Besides, hard to watch the livestream with the beard being half of it :3
