First I would like to say how happy I was with the turnout for this contest. We had almost 50 participants submitting at least 1 poster. I can’t thank you all enough for making this such a fun and successful contest. So, without further ado, let’s get to the important stuff.

The first winner is Kohato with “Bubble Shield”

As soon as I saw this picture I knew it had a chance of being one of the 3 winners. The angle, and shear hilarity factor of the picture made me laugh for a good 10 minutes after I saw it.

The second winner is klammy with “Evasive Maneuvers”

Again, framing of this screenshot was key. I love the fact that you got the Warthog on the wall with all 4 wheels touching.

The third winner is chromeratt with “Aerial Insertion”

While I didn’t care to much for the font, the name for the picture was perfect.

Congrats to all 3 winners. You will be sent your codes in an E-mail and PM on the ATF site later on today. Use them wisely and go buy the Legendary Maps if you haven’t already. Hope to catch you online sometime. Again, thank you to everyone who made this contest so successful. Hopefully, we can get some sponsors so we can continue to hold contests like this in the future with bigger and better prizes.

Last but not least I had to include some Honorable Mentions.

Here is one from our very own Goose called “Driving”

Here is one from Xasrai called “Rockets”

Here is one from ArFo SaUcE called “Saving the Flag”

Finally, here is one from Bones_153 called “The Javelin”

No … The title is not missleading. Arm The Flag will be holding a contest to test out all your photoshopping skills. But a little back story is needed.

Last night, whilst playing the Halo 3 with some friends from Buddy System Gaming , there were quite a few incidents where the words “You’re doing it wrong” came up. Friendly banter was exchanged, by that I mean reminded BSG Surgeon about his “amazing” jumping abilities, and the idea was tossed around to make some Motivational Posters out of some of the events that had occurred. My mind happened to work overtime for the first time in a long time last night so I decided to put together this little shindig.

Here are the rules. They are really really simple. All you have to do is create a Motivational Poster with the subtext “You’re Doing it Wrong.” You must be the person who takes the picture, so no stealing pics off various Halo 3 Screenshot sites. Here are some examples of what I mean.

You are allowed to submit 2 posters. If you want to make it easier on yourself, you can use various sites to make the posters for you as long as you supply the screenshot. At the end of the month, I will be selecting the top 3 submissions and the winners will recieve 1600 MS Points. Submit all the posters here in the thread on our forums. Now have fun people and come up with some funny submissions.

That’s right boys and girls, our second (De)Motivational Contest is here, with an added twist. Rule #1… MOTIVATIONAL POSTERS ONLY. For all of the rules and the deadline for the (De)Motivational Poster Contest, check out The Submission Thread.

The (De)Motivational Poster Contest Voting Thread is now up! Go and vote HERE for your favorite poster!

INTRODUCING:

The 1st ATF (De)Motivational

Poster Contest of Epicness!

This is a new contest idea we’re going to test out. If we get a good turn out, then we’ll keep doing them. If we don’t… we’ll probably just blame some bogus theory like Global Warming or the Metric System and try it again! In all seriousness, this first one will be just a generic test run. Others in the future might require different things (ie: certain types of pics, stock photo, etc.). For all rules and the deadline for entries, please visit the Contest Submission Thread.

Fort Contest #6

Hazah, another Fort Contest! This time, the lucky map is none other than Ghost Town. For all rules and regulations, please see the Submission Thread.

The polls are OPEN! Go and vote for your favorite entries to our fifth Fort Contest HERE!
