I've been working on this for a few hours,
I was quite impressed by it, but hey,
Its probably not the greatest Gimp'ing I've ever done,
But it looks pretty nice.

And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.

-Thanks to Rocket Turtle for pointing out my typing follies.

the back of the box is very messy in parts. however, GIMP isn't the best program ever and the front looks pretty good, so well doneish.
top tip: get photoshop.

Yeah, I'm trying to work out how to get it to like, be the same as the main quote,
You know, fading from the top to the bottom.
I wasn't really sure what to do on the back, but I'm trying to go for the 'gameplay and a description look'
You know with gameplay shots at the top and then the description, followed by all the statistics.

And dude who said get photo shop,
PLEASE! Its like £1000!

that's why torrents were invented. i do not personally condone the use of said torrents, and photoshop is worth it (yes i paid for it), however nobody really cares if you download it for free.

Trolls are insecure about their own pathetic lives that they act cool behind a keyboard.
Go back to being a failure kid.

QFT.

Plus, saying it started on Reach isn't truly correct.
Unless you say 'This is where the Master Chief's story started.'

Yeah I guess, its where the events of Halo started though,
As this is the reason the Pillar of Autumn jumped to halo in a randomised vector.
I tried torrenting photoshop, but the lack of seeds is horrible, I can really leave my CPU on for 2 weeks solid, without having the hugest bill.

it really does look cool, but reach wasnt the beggining of halo. halo was the begginging of halo, the fall of reach took place hours before they even found the first halo ring. but all together u did a nice job.

Can we get past the wording please?
I'm not too fussed about what I did there, mainly its the smoothness and the layout which I need tips on,
If anyone has a good paragraph for the back then I'll happily use it.
But for now can we stick to the actual important stuff, just so I know what to change for the V3.

How about:

As the UNSC prepare for an all out assualt, they are attacked.
The Convenant ruthlessly destroy and kill, and it is up to the Master Chief, to defend the planet Reach.

You may know the fate of Reach, but you do not know how it came to be.

This was the Master Chief's greatest battle, and his greatest loss.

Thats great although maybe more like;
As the UNSC prepare for an all out assualt, they Covenant stuck first.
They have come ruthlessly destroy and kill every living being on Reach, and it is up to the brave Spartan II's to defend the planet Reach.

You may know the fate of Reach, but you do not know how it came to be.

This was the Master Chief and the UNSC's greatest battle, and their greatest loss.

I think it flowed a bit better and kept more in time with Blue teams defence on the surface, including Spartan II's rather than just chief.
V2 will be up by tonight.
I might look for some nice screen shots from halo 3 which emphasize new aspects of gameply for the back,
I'm also gonna upload a sketchup model of it.

Do you really care? you can't automatically see my signature anyway.

With the text try using "Justified" instead of left or center. also at the ESRB "RP" to the front as well as Bungie & Microsoft Studios to the front. like so

Oh and find an xbox 360 cover that uses the "ONLY ON THE XBOX"

Ok, what should I do to the back?
Justified, as in the font?
Ah, I can do the othe stuff,
Just a few things I don't understand.
Keep up the helpful critisism!

I speak the truth, and truth speaks itself.
The lies disguise what you despise.
Run. Flee and be, what you've always dreamed.
What happens now won't matter later.
What you see will not be, nor what you imagine will not happen.
The end is close, so take your dose.

LOL@IMPREGNABLE


and PS is better than Gimp.

ignore the repeat sentences it's like there to better show their differences.

Torrent it, bro.

On the newer one, the wording is a little confusing and seems like improper grammar.

Amazing editing though.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

I would assume that Bungie will follow the layout they did in Halo 2 and 3 for the reverse side, this placed the 3 pictures below the text, a medium sized picture beside the text, and a large picture above the text.

Exhibit A (Halo 2)
Exhibit B (Halo 3)

Thanks, I'll try that out.
I tried torrenting photoshop but as I said earlier,
Seeding is a nightimare.
