Generally speaking, I quite like that screen! I'd be happy using it as is.

Minor nitpicking points:

1. I'm not sure about some of those colours; a few of them seem a bit too dark to go against a black background. I'd make the green a bit lighter (although it's not so bad really) and make the blue text and symbols lighter too.

2. No serious military would ever use the term "ready-ish" [grin].

Very cool, is it animated somehow?

I rather like the colors. Quite easily readable, and not messy or anything.

Why are the areas in "closed" letters black instead of dark grey? It confuses me.

NORWAY RULEZ!![grin]

P.S:
At the bottom you could write a description of each country. Just make sure you keep it simple and it'll be allright. [smile]D.S

Thanks for the feedback, guys!

@Trapperguy: Yeah, I'm not sure I can make the green much brighter without looking washed out, although now that I think about it, it doesn't matter that much. Similar for the blue, although it needs it more(see? I need this stuff pointed out[smile]).

@RobLoachman: Thanks, and yes, it is, but not very excitingly. The buttons will be animated, but Sir Sapo and I have other priorities that come before menu fancification(like level design, dialog and writing). There will be more interactive stuff on the other screens, like the weapon select screen.

@MedevilEnemigo: Thanks! I'm hoping this style will provide a combination of drawing simplicity, readability, and immersion, since it looks like the sort of OS's you get on military hardware, like a real HUD.

@visage-dude: Uh, that's my fault for switching between MSpaint and Photoshop and changing things late at night. The buttons will be their own texture in the final version, so no probablo.

@Señor Samsonite: Yeah, but you better back up Finland if you guys have something against addressing people as 'Comrade', or even a faint dislike for the colors "Sickle and Hammer Yellow" or "Giant Star of People's Victory Red".
I'm not sure even a brief description would fit, Europe has a metric assload of countries in it, as I learned when I memorized them all[grin]

Heh, yep. I was supposed to learn them all (as well as all their capitals, the major rivers, and major mountain ranges) last year for Advanced Placement European History... long story short, I didn't.

Yeah we gave'em some bags during WW2 until they betrayed us and changed sides to ze germans.
