K guys, now comes the time to promote da map... May all the movie makers get their cam ready ! Just remember, there will be ONE winner only... and I'll personally send him 250$ (Paypal only).

To participate to the contest, you'll have to send/host you movies/trailers on youtube before the 29th of NOVEMBER (22:00 GMT) (tag it with the word "yoyorast" + the words "yoyorast contest" to make sure people can find them)... Then, the 29th of NOVEMBER at 22:00 GMT, One poll will be held at modacity (listing all the links to the youtube vids) so everybody in the community can vote for their prefered vid... the poll will end the 6th of DECEMBER at 22:00 GMT... of course the one who will have most votes will win da money... and the glory lol :woop:

K now, what's supposed to be inside your vid ? Well you are completly free guys, as long as it shows the map to it's best.
Just try to come close to some or all of these points :
- Off course, you can show the map empty but you also have to show some fight/action.
- Try to show the way it's meant to be played with the specificities of the gameplay (shileds, doors, strategic places, cutom vehicles, random teleporters...)
- Off course Music is welcome, you can also use voice or anything... Free your imagination !
- Try to show the map is meant to be played in lot of diferent gametypes.
- there's no minimum resolution required but you may have more chances if you have some good def image...
- There no limit of lengh but try to make your vid no shorter than 4 min plz.
- MUST BE EPIC, MUST BE EMOTIONAL, MUST BE INCREDIBLE, MUST BE THE STATE OF THE ART OF WHAT YOU CAN DO !

Now spread the word bout this contest, if you think you can make the best promo trailer out there, let as many people as possible see your work and vote for you :neckbeard:

K guys, may the best out there win... the Contest just started now, what are you waiting ?!
And again, you can post your vids on youtube from now to the 29th of NOVEMBER at 22:00 GMT, after that, it will be too late.

Holy Shiz 250 dollars i could buys a 360 for that...!

Totally going to give this a try.

200 Dollars in Zimbawenean dollars isnt worth a bean. Good thing im not from Zimbawe.

You know,

I don't have anything to do for the rest of the night so I'm going to have a hand at this.

Hopefully my video editing skills will come in handy...

Need a sucky actor to help? >=D Im bored too. If you win , you can have the cash.

It's totally legal. It's considered advertising.

I can't wait to see some of the trailers that are made.

Most likely at some point. I'm at least wanting to get the solo stuff out of the way before I get into all of the actor stuff.

You can act in mine. I already have my story written. Gonna need a camera man and a few more actors now.

^If you split teh money :)

I'm up for acting, with no pay.

add thepacman on xfire.

i would enjoy 250 us standard currency

Yea it might amost pay for the cost of the bandwith used to download just the Yoyorast Island v2 map for maybe one month. LOL

Those adverts on your website will pay for those >=D

Point = donate money to halomaps.org instead.

Dennis, I will donate some money soon, but it may not be over $10, but whenever I have the chance to donate, I will, and sorry for me not being able to donate so much tho.

lawlz.

I'd like to know how much bandwidth Halo maps users use on a daily basis, plus how much bandwidth the site has as a 'roof'.

I bet the cost for this site is at least 10k

oh and btw im working on a trailer that will blow your mind!

Over 9,000 GB per month across all Halo maps and portal websites.

Wow, how much does that run as far as price?

Come one guys let's not talk bout money lol.. just make some state of the art Trailer..

That's a lot. Holy Crap. And just for a hobby site too. :O

I hope that the site doesn't become a hinderment to UXB to the point of having it shut down.

UXB is owned by dennis -_-

Understood, however if UXB ever can't handle the costs, what goes down first?

Dennis has managed the cost for 5 years, I dont see the site going down any time soon.

If money becomes a problem, there are TONS of way dennis can make extra revenue off a high bandwidth site like this one.

The site is so simple for your convenience. not his.
