    Lorddz, omni, etho.

    also, you have a shitload of tiny points. would each section (like 4 - squads) be a video or each point? (identification of squad leaders) If it's each point then that's just silly.

    Ima just plump out this section too:

    5. Commanding
    a- Commander vehicle identification, importance of the commander vehicle
    b- Building, placing refineries, views (like alt = rotate).
    c- Targets, move orders, guard orders.
    d- Research, a brief rundown of trees and what they do
    e- Vehicle management, restriction + com builts.

    And this one:

    3. Vehicular Combat
    a- How to build vehicles with modified armor and engine properties
    b- Intelligent build examples (like don't put 2 chains and 2 GLs on an APC with no armour just because you can)
    c- Binds - H2Bind?
    d- Purpose of each vehicle, identification of vehicles

    Make a script and stick to it. Edit the video to fit the voice acting, not the other way around.

    And less lame "uh" and "um" and in-game meh-ness.

    The second one wasn't too bad....

    I like your Commander Scripts, but Vehicle combat, it's a bit too specific.

    Also, I know that there's gonna be a lot of videos, I want it so that new players can choose what they want to watch instead of one giant clusterfuck.

    IF YOU GUYS WANT TO WRITE A SCRIPT/VOICEACT PLEASE POST IN THIS THREAD.

    Vess, Scardybob and the angelic voice of The Buttery Lobster would be the best bets for voice actors

    A bit fast and you can hear you breathing, but besides that sounds like a professional voice actor for a big budget game's tutorial.

    Wait a minute, isn't it class first, then commander selection and then choose your spawn point? You can't disassociate these or do them in a different order or people will start popping down windows so they can do it in the order it is in the tutorial. You might have to bundle the first video under "How to get on the battlefield" - which would start with team selection, class selection, commander voting and then spawning. The first one is the longest tbh...

    Also, it's nice that someone's finally doing this.
