There is nothing to build tension and excitement as a good movie trailer before going into battle.

This map shows you the basics of creating a cinematic intro:

• The menu is removed from the screen, and letterbox (widescreen) format is started.
• The users input is stopped (no zooming or rotating, etc)
• The camera follows a chopper until it is destroyed, waits a while and then returns to the starting area
• The user regains control of the game, letterbox mode ends and the game starts.

Try the map, and then take it apart in WorldBuilder to see how it was made.
