Several teams? Is there more? Maybe it's not over yet. Hmm...

I would agree except that they shammed us on the 'hardcore fan' aspect of the contest already. I guess we can hope, but I'm just a little sick about the whole thing now.

I have an idea. Since me and Joey got work off already, let's get together this weekend. Then instead of playing halo, let's have a halo burning party. Oh and Mt. Dew is invited too. Just to burn though.

You know what though, I'm still a Bungie fan, Halo is still the best game ever, and I still can't wait for Halo 2. Who cares if we got scammed by some soda company. Big Deal.

Well, to me it's a big deal because Bungie allowed it's fan base to be taken advantage of. That's lame.

Hey raft, thanks for posting those pictures of the winners and your pictures. Your first picture is hilarious. On a different note, if you guys think you had big screens for those pictures, think again. We were in a freakin' movie theatre. My girlfriend developed slide film so we could have multiple Halo slides in the background of our picture. My friend and I were holding our limited edition Mountain Dew Xbox's, and there was some other crazy stuff going on. Also, I bought a 50 inch LCD projection TV just for Halo 2. :)

Well, I hope all the winners are posted eventually because the one's that I've seen are pretty funny. I thought my group had a damn good chance, so I'll have to show our pictures if they're not posted.

Our first picture isn't digitally modified, we constructed a master chief arm, and bought a tv and hollowed it out, a lot of work was put into it....

Hey look guys, I didn't send you the photos to get ripped apart! You wanted to see, so you did! None of the sponsers is going to show you. I think four big screens proves my dedication.

BTW, we are not shop workers! We work for a private Internet company. So while your trying not to knock the winners, you are. We were smart enough to not take photos in suit and ties.


Everyone needs to snap back to reality! I could give a crap about the way society works! I just want to play Halo. The ad is crap anyway. There is no guarentee that the ad will even be printed. It MAY appear in a Dew ad.

Here is the point! YOUR NOT MISSING OUT ON THAT MUCH...unless you live close by. Like someone said, if the ad is printed they will make millions and six people got $100 dollars. It is geniuse!! Also, we have no guarentee on how much game play! They said a few hours! That's $500 bucks an hour for me to play Halo2. Which will probably be Zanabar which people played at E3.

It's 4:00 and no one has confirmed anything to me other than an email and phone call last night! I have to book a flight ASAP to get there by tomorrow! If they care so much about there hardcore fans, why is this crap so damn confusing? It's not like they don't have billions! If they paid our way, they still made money off of us because of all the money we have spent through life on Xbox and Dew.

I'm sorry rip. I know you guys love Halo, and your pictures were great. I'd still shell out a lot of cash to play a little bit of Halo 2, it's worth it!

No. I was hoping we'd all find out today. The winners should be posted somewhere, if not here on Bungie.net.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I wasn't ripping (pardon the pun Rip) the winners. I'm just saying it looks like the Dew people weren't looking for creativity and dedication as much as they were looking for a certain group of photogenic people. That's not knocking you guys, that's knocking Dew and Bungie for not being up front about what really mattered in this contest. Obviously creativity and hardcoreness were not essential.

Don’t hold ANYTHING BACK – show us ENERGY and ENTHUSIASM – GO NUTS. You know what we’re talking about.

showing enthusiasm and energy for Mountain Dew and Halo 2.

Each entry will be judged for originality and creativity.


You see, when I entered the contest, I was under the impression that I could win by putting time, effort, and creativity into the picture, as Bungie and Mountain Dew stated. I finished the project for the 1st deadline hoping there would only a few entries, furthering my chances of winning, but I was let down by the extended deadline. I thought my crew’s creativity would keep us on top. If this contest was actually on what they said it was, creativity, enthusiasm, and energy, instead of some BS video game beauty pagent, I would be a lot happier. I’m not angry about losing, I’m angry that the winner wasn’t creative to any degree. Next time don’t waste my time if your going to lie about what the contest is really on.
Rant over.

Damn straight. If anyone has seen Raft's crew's 1st entry pic, you'll understand why he feels the way he feels. It's clever, it's creative, it's coordinated, it's funny, it's unique, it's freaking awesome, and for them not to have been in the winner's circle is extremely lame.

I agree, I am not bashing Rip's crew. I do feel that Raft's crew should have at LEAST been in second. Their photo is pretty cool.

Good gawd, we're not bashing the winners, we're bashing the Dew morons who were shady in misrepresenting what it would take to win this contest. Take a lot at Raft's crew's pictures and tell me that they shouldn't have won. Seriously. I mean, not even 2nd? Lame.

We edited this one just for the heck of it. The one we sent in didn't have the stuff at the top.
