Recon Contest Winner

recon contest graphic

Several hundred submissions. Just as many people simply asking for Recon. Dozens of questions. Three judges for the preliminary round. Sixteen judges for the final round. Seven days to submit an entry. And only one winner.


I’d like to thank each and every one of you who submitted an entry in the Recon contest. I’d also like to show my appreciation for all the people who helped me behind the scenes. A very special thank you to all the individuals who had an equal vote on the final round of judging:

And the winner is … me! Don’t I look fabulous in my new Recon armor? Oh jeez, I’m just kidding. Without further ado, I present to you the winning entry.

Author: Halcylon

Many people called it in the comments, and the judges’ votes mirrored the general consensus. Halcylon secured ten of a possible sixteen votes to come away the winner of a brand new set of shiny virtual armor. Several screenshots were used in the making of his depiction of The Silent Cartographer, all of which can be viewed in his recent screenshot queue. Congratulations to Halcylon, thank you to all the participants and judges, and a very special thank you to Bungie whom so generously allowed me to hold this contest. Until next time, it was a pleasure.

    I agree with DARIU5… I mean, is that supposed to be from Halo CE or Halo 2? it doesn’t look like it came from the campaign of either one…

    Please exscuse my earlier post. I know it wasn’t “rude” in true terms, but I wanted to clarify my statement. What I had meant, was that I think there were other submissions that more appropriately fit the contest, but this is just a personal opinion.

    Halcylon is definately a top tier Photoshopper, and his image was great.

    I just wanted to make this justification.

    I… I can’t even put into words how shocked I am. I mean, I saw a lot of the entries and was BLOWN AWAY. Guys, the bar was set so high by all of you. I know, by looking at the entries – the top 10 finishers, and the top 5’s – that it WASN’T an easy pick for any of the judges. It truly makes me happy to see so many artisans and creative minds coming together.

    The level of professionalism and artistic ability has never been more eye shattering. Honestly, if it came down to it, I would have picked a lot above mine – I thought they were that good. I can’t thank BS Angel enough for her unflinching generosity in everything that she’s offered us. From humor to witt, to swag bags and Recon Armor, she’s always done anything possible to keep her fan boys happy. Thank you BS, for everything.

    There isn’t a finer community that I’d rather be apart of. Thank you all.

    - Hal

    Well, I am happy for you Halcyon…but I am very disappointed at the judges. I thought this was suppose to be true to the original campaign, with high quality and best possible photoshopping possible. I was actually expecting something way better, even better than mine, to actually win.

    I’d like to point out that the warthog isn’t dropped on the beach until you’ve cleared out hostiles at the beginning of the Cartographer level…sooo…doesn’t seem right. When I first looked at this winning submission it wasn’t an ‘instantly recognizable’ moment. I had to blink for a good 10 seconds to realize, “oh thats cartographer…why does it look wrong?” I mean, I could have take a screen shot from halo 3’s “The Covenant” level at the beginning, and it would have been the same thing…Oh well, I was expecting more of the judges decisions. I know mine wasn’t all too great, but at least it was instantly known.

    Congrats Halcyon, you gotz recons

    It would be nice if people would acknowledge that there were many excellent entries. All could not be winners, though many had the quality to be so.

    Just because your submission, or the one you thought was best did not win does not mean it was not good, nor does it diminish the quality of the winner.

    This is all part of the human component of judging a competition. There is bound to be different points of view and varying levels of criticism towards each competitor. It’s really no different than judging the Olympics or other similar events. The winner will most definitely not always be who you predict you who you favor.

    Those who are complaining are serving up a great insult to all who participated: each person who submitted artwork, each judge who took time out of their busy schedule, the winner, and of course Hawty McBloggy and the generosity of Bungie.

    Not true, I think the fact that they had access to photoshop didn’t affect their chances at all. I think that being really creative and doing the same sort of thing with just screenshots would have been even more impressive than just photoshopping.

    @ Halcylon, I’m really happy you won, your screenshot was awesome…

    Another positive comment for Hal –

    I think what I like about this shot is that you perfectly captured one of, if not THE, most memorable moment in the Halo trilogy.

    That beach landing sticks in everyone’s mind, and you captured the intensity of a moment we all fondly remember. For me, just thinking about it raises my heart rate! You just rescued Keyes from the Covenant – a mission that if anything was complete suicide. Now that the human forces are somewhat organized, in his words ‘Time for a little payback!’ Then the next shot are the Pelicans approaching the island, the main Halo theme beginning to play, and this great feeling that it’s time to turn the tables on the Covies.

    Then you storm up the beach, kick total ass, and finally feel in control of the situation. Very cool stuff. Bravo Hal, you captured it.

    (Oh, and can we play sometime soon? I want to frag you and uh… do something inappropriate to your new armor. Something about ‘tea time.’ ;) It would look great in my screenshot gallery!)

    That was a tough choice in my opinion. There were quite a few that were really good. I liked this one and the box art one the best. They were both nostalgic, and were really well done. If the box art one had a marine instead of a Spartan in ODST, I would have given it to that one, but that’s just me.

Don’t get me wrong when I said “it’s not really that hard to recreate” I meant I didn’t want people to think that they can’t ever do something like this. All you need is a good book, and a year or two in photoshop and you can make something like this easy.

    Just in case someone out there thinks idk what I’m talking about, I think do. Hell I’ve used photoshop CS2 and now CS3 for 4, going on 5 years now.

    @halcylon

    Hence why I said it was photoshopped.

    When bs angel said photoshop would not play a dramatic role in judging… that’s what I was actually hoping for. I see so many absolutely fantastic non-doctored photos that must have taken people hours of theater-moding to find, just to see they’ve been beaten by photoshop. If anything, the originality of using the Halo based program to take the picture, yet alone to make it in the game should have been a higher factor than photoshop.

    I, and as I’m sure hundreds of others, are disappointed. And I don’t want to hear the lines of “well you’re just mad because you didn’t win”. No – I didn’t even enter. I just feel a lot of good original people were jipped.

    Stormray, many completely unaltered shots made it to the final round of judging. The one that got my personal vote was one of those actually. Just because the shot that won was photoshopped doesn’t mean it played a dramatic role in judging. It was just the picture that came out on top. Hopefully you and those “hundreds of others” that feel the same way won’t be bothered by this for too long. It was a fun community project to celebrate the birthday of Halo 3, not something to get upset about. Go play Halo!

    Congrats Halcyon, except I do think there were better screens.

    I feel as though the only reason this one was picked was because of all the explosions in the background, and as a looked at all of the top submissions, this was the only one with explosions. It does disappoint me that many people dedicated their time with modding and, well, modding, only to be beaten by a normal Halo 3 screenshot. Except for those pelicans in the background. It also took me awhile to actually remember the moment the screen was re-creating.

    Final Comment: Congrats Halcyon, but if anyone should have won it, it should’ve been the guy who re-created the halo 3 front cover up the top of this page with R3C0N.

OMG!!! that is soo ironic i seriously played a few days ago with Halcylon and Yoozel (moderator of bungie.net)!!! i msged Yoozel asking him how he got recon and now i find out i messaged a bungie employee!! (sigh) they were both against me in a big team assault game. >.< might as well just lay down my guns and turn around next time…
