a site for a counter strike clan, no content yet just the navigation and design, so what do ye think?

it's a bit graphically heavy/dirty looking for my taste, but thats down to personal taste.

I'd make the rollover animation faster. At the moment the text just kinda jumps about, but if you speeded it up it would look really frantic/interesting.

I don't like the background bricks at all, it makes it look like a quake clan page from the late 1990's.

perfect thats what i was going for, very close with the background image, its not quake but from another of id's classics doom3! i agree with making the rollover faster but with adobe imageready that seems to be as fast as i can get it to go

I wouldn't call the center image 'banner' as it will probally be blocked by people using adblock, also its a bit big (dimensions).

Too hard to read the menu button's. Maybe change the colour to something slightly lighter

dramatic and slow you need bright colours to keep it alive.
