I Still Call It Recon Challenge *long!* | |
Posted By: Morpheus <SlimDKR@aol.com> | Date: 5/1/09 12:04 p.m. |
For those of you who already know, I'm putting my first contest on hold so I can send out something giftable. Waiting for Halo 3 ODST has been a slow torture, as was waiting for almost everything Halo. But things are going to be different. This time, I want to spread the torture around! I'm guessing you already feel how I feel, but this year, that's just not enough. I'm here to make a contest so unbearable, so boring, so painful, that no one would want to sign up! But I'm also here to give away a prize so desirable, so exciting, so pleasurable, everyone would want to sign up! See the conundrum? Simply put: Worst Contest EVER, Best Prize EVER. Personally, I still call this new game Halo 3:Recon, hence the title name. I couldn't think of anything better. But the winner of this terrible contest I made will get a free copy of--you guessed it--Halo 3:ODST. "But Morph, that's not the best prize ever!" Oh really? Well then, I'm out of ideas. Go play something else, you ungrateful slug! (God, I'm really going off track here. Oh well, more to read, I guess.) I wanted to create a Campaign-only contest to get players out of those MLG, Team Snipers, Team Mythic, and Multi-Team Playlists for a while and get back to the basics. At first, I thought of a fastest Campaign time. But then I thought of High Speed Halo and realized that would be so unfair to the regular kids like me who don't know any shortcuts. (This is where the torture sharing comes in!) So here's how it goes. You all will compete for the SLOWEST Campaign speed run. Or should I say, snail-run? I can already hear the eyes roll, the audible groans, the mocking, dissmissive laughter! "This contest will never work!" No, I believe it will. The Lowdown: Between RIGHT NOW(May 1st) and the release month of But like all contests, there are some rules. And I wrote plenty! Rules: Before you start each mission: 1. This MUST be Single Player--No co-op buddies to distract me while I'm watching you crawl.
If you're playing on the Easy difficulty, you must have TWO Gold(Iron, Black Eye, Tough Luck, Catch, Fog, Famine, Thunderstorm, Tilt or Mythic) and TWO Silver(Blind, Grunt Birthday Party, Cowbell, or IWHBYD) skulls activated. If you're on Normal, then just one skull of each color will do. The skull choices are entirely up to you. As long as you're in the parameter of the rules, you can have whatever you like. 5. OPTIONAL--You don't have to do this if you don't want to, but it would help me out a little--:Turn Campaign Scoring "On."
In-Game Rules: 7. THIS is the most important rule!! It's the entire backbone of this contest. You can move as fast or as slow as you want, but you CANNOT stand still for more than 3 seconds per level. I know, the Cortana freakouts, the Gravemind freakouts, the loading zones, the exigent circumstances, and stuff. But if there's not a good reason for you stopping, I have to disqualify you! Yes, I understand you have to pause at some points. That's obviously reasonable. This is also why co-op is not allowed. If you want to pause, I suggest you jump and pause in mid-air to avoid standing still. Got it?
That's all I can think of during gameplay, let's talk about afterwards. Post-Game/Submission: 10. After your finish a mission, save it to your Hard Drive and/or upload it to your FileShare. Just in case.
This contest will end on the first day of the month of the release of Halo 3 The winner, and the possesion of the slowest speedrun EVER will be announced 1 week before the release. And, as already discussed, the winner will recieve a brand new copy of Halo 3 All of you out there, get those thumbsticks ready for the ride of your lives!! Oh, and one more thing. Enjoy. ^_^ Any questions, reply here or e-mail me.
