For the few folks who got eyes on the update early and balked at the terrible wall of text that greeted them, or for those who simply haven't seen the announcement yet, we're going to ask you to check it out before we dig in. Go on, have yourself a read. Pay close attention to the bit talking about Haloscreenshots.com. It's important.
Haloscreenshots.com BWU Announcement
You might want to familiarize yourself with their
website too. Why? Haloscreenshots.com is sweetening the deal for this weekend's Recon contest, throwing in some prizes for the top three that dare we say, might even be better than slipping into some new armor. Don't believe us? You should. We've had hands on with their wares and we're thoroughly impressed. When they say their prints are museum gallery quality, they aren't resorting to hyperbole.
The Payoff
In addition to earning a set of Recon Armor, Haloscreenshots.com will be bestowing the top three screenshots selected from the pool of this week's winners with the following prizes:
1st Place - Complimentary Framed Canvas, a spot in their website banner, and a position in their
Best of the Best gallery.
2nd Place - Complimentary Framed Print.
3rd Place - Complimentary Unframed Print.
(They're also going to take care of all the shipping and handling charges.)
The Details
We're going to open it up this week. We want to see the best you have to offer. No theme and no gametype constraints. Play anything you like from the time of this posting until the end of the month, snap your best screenshot, and upload it into your File Share. Tag it HSSBOB and we'll take a look. Sound easy? Better bring your "best of the best" to the battlefield. We're going to be looking for art worthy screenshots this time out.
The contest begins *now*.
Screenshots must be taken from games that were played after the time of this posting and cannot be submitted after midnight, May 31st 2009, PST.
Screenshots may be taken in
any gametype. Customs, Forge, Matchmaking, Campaign...whatever. Anything goes.
One tagged screenshot per
File Share. Gallery uploads do not count. You do
not need to remove the other content from your File Share.
Screenshot must be tagged
HSSBOB. Capitalization and punctuation is inconsequential.
Cheaters and boosters need not apply. Number of tags and/or rating will not affect the outcome of the contest, but your screenshot may be removed from contention if you annoy, harass, or otherwise attempt to influence the outcome by abusing these systems. We'll probably ban you too. And send you a annoying message to harass you afterward.
Keep all discussion, questions, and screenshot showcasing in the thread attached to this news post.
Other than that, have fun, remember to check out the new screenshot feature provided by Haloscreenshots.com, and may the best screenshots win!
