New Contest Suggestions.

Since the Avatar contest went off relatively well, perhaps a new contest will come? I'm not sure if its been done on this site already, but how about a [i]short story[/i] fanfic contest? It'd be ambitious and very time-consuming (and since Bungie is working on Halo 2, that one factor might make this contest too much). There should be a minimum and maximum page/word limit, so things can't be submitted too small, nor too large (perhaps somewhere between a minimum of 4 pages and a max of 20). It'd have to be Halo-related (or, I suppose, it could be based on another Bungie game, such as Oni or Marathon). It can't be offensive (obviously). It should also have certain grammar requirements. The winner could get something special (perhaps a custom avatar), and there could be several runner-up prizes (but no "last place prizes," so it would encourage good writing, not bad). Like I said, it'd be very time-consuming for whoever the judges will be, since they'd have to read through all of the entries. That simple fact probably makes this contest impossible to have.... but it might be fun. Anyone have more suggestions? If this type of contest can't be done, or if we're not allowed to make these type of suggestions, any Mods who read this should block the thread. [Edited on 7/3/2004 2:38:54 PM]

  • Although I like the short story contest better, here's another: Gameplay Contest!!!!!!! The level would be Two Betrayals, since it has everything that's in the game (all the vehicles (except the tank, I guess), all enemy Covenant, Sentinels, Flood.... everything). It's also decently challenging, and gives different gameplay options (limited sniping, close-range combat, mid-range combat, explosives, and vehicles). Whoever is able to record their gameplay can enter (but you have to be able to put it into a computer and send it in electronically). The winner would be whoever displays the best use of tactics in the level without dying a lot (in other words, I suppose, whoever dies the least (but with slight exceptions, see below))...... But, due to the size of the level, and amount of memory all those sent-in vids would take up... this contest might not be possible. Exceptions to the least deaths rule: -If you die few times, but exhibit extremely reckless gameplay and are usually in low health, it decreases your chances of winning. -If you don't have the least amount of deaths, and there are those who use other tactics and die less, but you show incredible ingenuity and genius in accomplishing tasks (such as managing to completely obliterate many enemies with extremely well-placed shots and/or grenades in such a way that would astonish even the most hardcore of players), it increases your chances of winning.
