i was just wondering whether people in HL2.net are interested in a general gaming competition, much like the weekly art contest in the art and design forum.

i have no idea what it could be, but maybe people could post ideas here? maybe each week we could have a contest for a certain game, like get the jeep in far cry in the funniest spot, or get the highest score on the HL2.net CS server. We could even have several cometitions a week, or prizes such as being an admin on the HL2.net CS server for an hour!!!

so what do you guys think? is this a good idea?
 
Thats just it....what could it be? "Make a first person shooter to the theme of potatoes"?
 
This is probably gonna be tough to sort out until HL2 is released. :D
 
I was toying with the idea of a mapping competition but i put it in the "pending" section of my brain until hl2 is released, then i will think about it more and its practical application.
 
i think it would be awsome, and we would need it to be first one to sit on the toilet vehicle in ut2k4

"Fun screenshot" contests would be awesome!

thats just like gamer snap in PC gamer.. every issue they have a competition to find the funniest snaps. the winner gets 10 games from play.com!!! usually the really crap entries win the prize though.

we could have a gamer snam competition, or we could have a test of skills competition... like seeing who can get the best scores on UT2004. or we could do both!!!

and ramdomthought, heres your toilet car:

Nooo!!! theres a spider mine in the toilet!!! im not going to sit in that!!!

lol,i took that ages ago.. i dont even know why i have it on my website :D
 
come on there must be more than 3 people who would like a gaming compotition....
 
by fun screenshots do you mean like funny looking and then like caption it?
 
yeah, screenshots sound good. It's a bit corny though, but a lot of people can enter. Maybe a subtitle has to be added for some witty comment
 
we could have a screenshot contest every week for a certain theme, like "you must get a pic of a veichle humping another", or "take a snap of the funnyest death position". If we limited everyone to one screen we could prevent it from gwtting crowded and it would be class, but i really want to see some more mods opinions here (come on mods!!!)
 
I like this idea. See the halflife2.net forum for community competitions and stuff.

I'm all for contests and the like, binds the community together.
 
*discuss the general gaming competition #1 here!*

i just posted it as a test to see if anyone wanted to contribute to something like this...

so please contribute!!!

p.s., for an unofficial, test competition, it looks pretty official, doesnt it?? :)
 
There will soon be an e-mail address set up which will allow you to send competition ideas to us.

An update on the official competitions:
We're hoping that we'll be starting the first sometime during this month or at the start of next month. One sponsor seems as though it has fallen through, but we may have another one.

More details soon :)
 
Is it ok if I give you my entry sunday? I need to load up a game to show you.
 
sure, whatever. ill be keeping the competition open untill we have loads of entries. the rules are pretty lax btw, as its only a test. so you wont get told off for posting more than one post... but i will deduct a golden star from your star chart.

tbh, the main reasons for the above is that im not a mod, so i cant close the thread or punish anyone :) lol
 
its more focused on the picture than the achienment. anyway, this was just a test... i wanted something thats easy to do, so we would (hopefully) get a lot of people entering.
