Venting

Anyone know why EA didn't want anyone to take SS's while the game is loading a new map??? I dominated this pub titan server... had 4 pages of the titan defend pins/5 kills achievement pins, totalling in 378 Career points, and nearly 100 kills alone.... and while i'm taking the next map is loading, I take some screenies.. and they aren't there!! ARGH! The frustration!

Sorry, please continue with your day!

Use a program like fraps for taking screenshots of scoreboards and such.

I suspect that the reason the game doesn't take screenshots of scoreboards and other menu/UI stuff is because it didn't occur to them or they didn't have time to implement it, rather than an active decision to not allow such shots.

yea, i have fraps, but i forgot to start it... won't let that happen again...

It only takes screenshots when the 3D engine is running, the menus run on something else, and they haven't implemented anything to take screenshots in that.
