PS2 Promotional Poster

RovingDeath · 2012-03-06, 03:51 PM

Seeing as how I want this game to succeed and I'm afraid of what SOE might / might not do to advertise this game, I'd like to take matters into my own hands, so to speak.

I, as well as several others here, live on a military base. There are lots of public places to post bulletins. Additionally, the military crowd (particularly Marines, from what I see) is big into FPS games.

If someone were to design something I could fit on 8 1/2 x 11 (and maybe a little bigger) I would post it all over the place. Others might be interested in doing this as well.

Anybody want to hook this up?

Well, how about some of those awesome propaganda stuff on the fan art thread?

Some of them in higher resolution with "www.planetside2.com" at the bottom could make people curious.

Good idea about the propaganda posters; kinda viral marketing. I'll start there

Sabrak's got the right idea here. There's several great pieces in that thread, some for all the empires. They've all got different tones if you're worried about that. The link to the fan art thread is http://www.planetside-universe.com/f...ad.php?t=39202. As the thread goes on, the propoganda posters make their appearances

I think that the pieces in that thread are mostly - if not all specific to an empire. If you're thinking about posting things all over that shouldn't be a problem - you could make sure that all the empires get some coverage. And you could put two or three on the same board so that people can see right there that there might be options for them. Maybe find a good way to combine 2 empires onto a single poster so that the conflict is more obvious?

Some very good ideas here! Soon, all of Twentynine Palms will know the awesomeness that is PS2!

If you're overseas, I propose you drop leaflets into enemy territory and spam them until they join NC, because inside every one of them, there is an American trying to get out.
