Play CTF, Win Halo Wars
February 13, 2009 12 Comments
Machinima.com is hosting a contest in which five random winners will receive a copy of Halo Wars, an upcoming real-time strategy video game set in the Halo Universe. Not your typical contest, it’s been dubbed MIVE (Machinima Interactive Video Experience) and requires you to successfully play a game of CTF through a series of short videos (think Choose Your Own Adventure). After completing the objective, you then send the nine letter winning code (each video has one letter in the upper right corner of the screen) to MIVE@machinima.com as your official entry. I watched the first video a few times over before realizing you actually click your choice on the video itself. Yup, I’m a quick one! So grab a pen and piece of paper, press play, solve the capture the flag challenge, and hope you win one of their five copies of Halo Wars!
Infinite win! I got it :)
Done and done. That was… interesting.
It was interesting, eh? I thought it was pretty funny and enjoyable overall.
Yeah… It could have done just as well without the voice-overs. Those were fairly obnoxious, IMO.
One of the best idea ever.
One of the worst player ever.
=)
That was fun while it lasted. The player you play as, is uh, not MLG material, but it was still fun. I was hoping for BTB Multi-Flag on Valhalla, though.
The voice over is what made it funny. And the winning path is not what you think.
Took me a while to find the winning path. Had the player been any good, it would have been much easier :P
woo i wins =]
That was really cool! I just sent my code in! :)
The process of elimination is your friend!
open up Notepad, and track down which option goes where…
Good Luck to everyone and Happy Valentines Day!
(I less than three all of you here)
that guy is hilarious
he deserves his own machinima (first person suckiness)
because we know the majority of gamers aren’t MLG and are more inclined to be like him (yeah…I would know…)
does it spell a word, or is it just letters?
