Best Non-Halo Map (like all those sonic ones I keep hearing about...)
Best Small map

And also to the following:
Best Vehicle
-Flying
-Real-life recreation (doubt we'll have any this time around)
-Other
Best Scenery Piece

The following requirements MUST be met by the map:
1. The map must be in a cache form by March 1st
2. The map must be nominated by February 28th at 11:59 PM EST

Yah i know this isnt a rip off of my post i just think you will be overwelmed by all the stuff people will send you. BTW i'm not just saying this because it's in my post but the best small map ive played is desert_island. Somehow i got 4 people that had the map online at once, and it was a BLAST! (this will be deleted if you don't get a file up) And how did you get your sig to blend with the background of halomods?

[FleetAdmiralBacon]

I'll add the current nominations with the categories in bold, and on march 1st, I'll have polls up

[Sain]

Best Vehicle hands down is the bulldog from Chronopolis.

[FleetAdmiralBacon]

I haven't driven it yet!

I'de nominate my own Draco, but seeing as I'm one of the judges, It would be unethical. Not to mention, it won't be done enough by march 1st

[=Hunter=]

If I can get my M16 properly finished before then, I'll enter

[FleetAdmiralBacon]

You would have to be nominated, but from the looks of it, that wouldn't be too hard

[=Hunter=]

I'm guessing that was a compliment, thanks

I'm thinking of getting Reaper to re-convert it but this time do the smoothing and such himself, so it's 100% perfect. Tabasco was having some trouble with the smoothing, presumable lost in the translation, I guess

Gonna try skin it myself when someone UVs it, that should be, erm, interesting...

[FleetAdmiralBacon]

Nominations end next week!
Just another notice, any map in cache form can be nominated, that includes betas. Also, weapons and vehicles do not need to be in a map, they just have to be tagged and working. The tuturial map can be used for judging them in-game.

[FleetAdmiralBacon]

Oh, and I can't accept the draco nomination cause it won't be a cache file by then.

Personally, i don't think any custom vehicle is good. But the first one the "wowed me" was the Fighter Bomber from Hugeass. But as far as scenary......i have no clue! But i will give you something, I nomanate for best scenary, Bumpy Rocks by Sunny Sharma.
