NOBLEST MOMENT contest Winners! :U | |

NOBLEST MOMENT Contest *Click on any image for Bnet Wallpaper versions. - When I first started the contest, I was hoping to inspire a few dozen people to check into the theater mode and use a great feature that they may not have given a chance. I expected maybe a hundred images to grace my inbox over the course of two weeks, and I would reward the best of the bunch.
I'd like to thank our friend Hedge, who after a little knock on the head, provided me with input and observations that helped me narrow down the finalists. And I thank the Halo fans, who submitted many, many screenshots, and captured some pretty unique and great moments in our favorite questionably-canon game. I did this for you! - They made it count... It was challenging to pick out my favorites out of the 1803 entries to the contest, but with three unexpected but welcome weeks to analyze and dig out the best screens I could find, I'd say it was a worthwhile endeavor. So much so, that I've decided to tweak the rules just a wee bit on my end. All for your benefit. There were great shots, there were strange shots, and there were funny shots. But in the end, it all came down to the few who would win, and the little details that set them apart from the rest.
- INSANEdrive Our very own INSANEdrive provided me with many great screenshots. From serene, to action-packed, I enjoyed the great variety. But this one especially caught my attention. This picture does so many things right for me that it's hard to list them all. From Bob's yell (turning the normally-annoying mandibles-through-armor glitch into a beneficial feature in the image, being used to capture the emotion), to the wisps of his failing shields (as if it's his very soul departing). I also love how the lighting makes it look more like a painting, and the matching armor colors look great. He took a risk by sending in an assassination screen (having been warned), and it paid off with the prize of a Noble Map Pack. Well done! - SirPwn4g3 The simplicity of this screenshot was what caught my eye. A perfectly placed Spartan in the middle of a matchmaking game, with a weapon at his side, centered in the image, while resting in a corner. Who knows what last stand he must have made. It sure must have been a great sight to run across in-game. And for our own resident lurker, Sir Pwn4g3, it also yields him a Noble Map Pack. Padraig08 Despite being so offensive that his very name is forbidden on the Bnet, our own Padraig has claimed a map pack with his screenshot, which he had to go through great trouble to even submit.
- xXxDiBsXx Our last winner is lover of the “x” key, xXxDiBsXx, with this moody shot of a Firefight game. The softly transitioning colors, the debris flying (some blurred) as the shield absorbs the impact. And the Spartan ready for battle, confident that the shield will protect him from the blast. This is a great scene that depends on many factors coming together to even exist. And capturing a perfect moment and angle in that scene is also as impressive. He may not be an HBO regular, but I'm glad he read up on the contest. And I'm sure he is as well. - Do the math. “Wait!” you say (you again?), “You said three free Noble Map Packs! That's four! What gives?” That's very observant of you Mr. Asks-too-many-questions. And yes, that is four. I told you I was tweaking the rules a bit. A free Noble Map pack prize for each of our four winners. Out of nearly two thousand screenshots, yours bubbled to the top, and you've reaped the rewards (or you will tomorrow, when you get the codes as soon as they're emailed to me). Well played gents. Well played. - Rally Point Bravo. There were many images that I pondered over, and feel some deserve special mention, as I'd hate for them to fade unnoticed amongst the sea of screenshots on Bnet. So here they are, for your viewing pleasure :) - Ogre Dance King Volvolgia berryboyssks1 Pyro Shift SRK Southpaw INSANEdrive (in case you doubted his skill) MissingSea - - I'd like to thank everyone for participating! It was a very memorable contest on my end, and hopefully you enjoyed the images as much as I did. Looking forward to play the Noble Maps with you guys!
