looks good, i like it , good colors , good feel to COD4 , but maybe the logo can change a little , just maybe.

The forums are also good, i like them ,however i dont like your icons at all , you need to get those customized.

good work but i would say 7.5/10

Regards!

I disagree. I play COD4 and the colors are a washed out blue look instead of a brown army type look. Kind of throws me off.

I've had a hard time finding a darker gaming-type template for vBulletin. There are some maps in Call of Duty 4 that are kind of brown so I chose this one. I'm planning on expanding the banner to have images all the way across instead of fading out in the middle... but my banner guy is awful slow. I might just put a 468x60 banner in the banner on the right.. since I've heard that is a good spot.

@Xrato: Which icons do you mean?

Its ok but if it were me , more of a blue lighter colour the brown is too dark , cod4 is modern warfare make it more modern

And the logo at the top wants to be more in your face and inviting

Just finding this thread today, I really like the design. I play COD4 and I like it. However, the post icons being envelopes could be changes to gernades or something. Otherwise good work.

I agree the post icons need to be changed to something that reflects COD instead of being envelopes.

Everything else looks ok to me - I'd maybe change the logo but the one you have is fine.

Content and layout wise it looks great

Thanks for the reviews. What do you guys specifically not like about the banner? Also, are there any premade image sets for the envelope things? I could only find post icons/buttons and smilies in the styles section
