i like it more when the sigs are wider and not so long. also why is this in tech?

anyhow: +1 for effort

_{once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.}

Not Bad, you shoudl have made a pattern and laid it over it, and picked a better font, and added a glow to the outer edge of the font. And made the rank blend in (like cut it out)

i'd give you about 6/10

i guess "not bf2 not bf2s"

EDIT: even though i suck at photoshop: use the magic lasso or similar to cut out the rank. then put it back in and use some effect like backglow or similar on it. the "see you on the battlefield" is kinda hard to read. try to increase the size. as said the sig should be wider and be less in length. also use a differnt background/no background. the standard BF2 render background is getting old. just my 0.02$

Good try on your first sig i suggest get some fonts, and maybe erase the blue around the rank.

Good try +1

Not bad for first. Lines are kinda giving me a headache. Everyone has a different personal taste. I like the 'vibrant" ones. http://wolfservers.com/misc/BF2142Beta/ … ontest.htm

Nice work. Although I would change it so that it's longer horizontally than vertically. I'd also experiment with including an outer-glow (styles) to the badge, or bluring its edges into the layer below, so that it's not standing out so much. That's just personal preference though.

Well done.
