Oooh. I wanna be the guy on the right. Anyways I'm really digging this idea Scotty. I've always loved MOTM, and its been a great and friendly competition.

So what exactly are your views on mod of the month?
I think that it should be brought back because it will produce a lot of amazing mods.

do yo want it back?
Hellzz yea

Do you want the same rules as last time? If no, what would you like to see changed?
Wasn't here for the original Mod of the Month, but I heard there used to be a lot of flaming. So I think that if someone flames they should be banned from MOTM for the next contest.

Do you think its needed?
Not really, but it would be fun.

What kind of rewards would you like to see put in place for the winner?
I truely don't care.

This sounds like a good idea, considering many modders are taking a break on h2 and all ready look towards h3.

There should be a section for great sp mods to, although size of patchs would be larger.

As for prizes, who doesnt want a cool sig?
You shouldnt offer to make a better skin or mod out of it though, cause its like a slap in the face after somone has worked so hard to make it the way they wanted. (just my opinion).

I would love to see mod of the month brought back. It really inspires people to actually make good mods and not 100mb+ mods with no theme(not that no theme is always bad).

ScottyGEE · Post by **ScottyGEE** » Sun Jun 10, 2007 9:43 pm

yarly it does... but the issue of large patches still remains...

I will do this if there is a server host who will host all motm submissions and winners. Or at least, will host current MOTM submissions but all MOTM winners.

I jsut want an easy to manage and view place for all MOTM stuff..That way theres no jumping through hoops and viruses and other stupid things to get a mod.

I don't think there is a way around big patches,
But Im sure someone could make a new patch app?

ScottyGEE · Post by **ScottyGEE** » Sun Jun 10, 2007 10:07 pm

Nah, Iron_Forge has done really well with serenity, I dont think it could be topped...Thats why I think we just have a repository for motm mods...So even though its just a large patch, at least theres no problems with downloading it or the patch being deleted from rapidshare or whatnot

little_shadow · Post by **little_shadow** » Sun Jun 10, 2007 10:33 pm

Yeah and im sure, most of the time the map may be worth if it has a bigger patch, but bigger isn't always better.

I think that MoTM winner should have hosting on halomods...lol. Thats the only "good" prize that I can think of, plus it weeds out, "bandwidth-wasters".

Tell me if I have got this wrong but couldn't a file larger than 10MB be hosted on halomods or is that an impossibility?

I point this at the fact that most new modding territory lies in SP maps so they are inherently larger.

ScottyGEE · Post by **ScottyGEE** » Sun Jun 10, 2007 10:54 pm

I'll ask Kirk about that when he gets back I think. Good idea.

ive spoken to the person who owns my server and they have kindly upped my storage space and bandwidth so i can host

Scotty did you ever get my PM? I have 300 GB+ of web space and 3 TB of bandwidth lol

newbymodder · Post by **newbymodder** » Mon Jun 11, 2007 6:05 pm

well when i came to halo mods the mod of the month really wasnt too hot i like the idea of giving credit to the modder that did the best of that month then of mabey either 6 months or a year but what i would really want is to have a vote on what is the best i guess you could say advancment of the year

mostly because we have learned lots of new stuff like larger bsp's and revolutions in modding so if once a year we could bring up what helped halo2 out the most that would be cool jsut to give the credit to the modders who get overlooked for making either new programs or new ways of making halo2 funner and more interesting

Heres an idea for what you win for MOTM.
Every 3 months, there will be a forum where people can vote on their favorite MOTM of the 3 mods, and the winner gets put into the outstanding mods section. Not sure if that would be a big enough inspiration for MOTM though, but it'd be for me.

theycallmechad · Post by **theycallmechad** » Mon Jun 11, 2007 9:45 pm

I say I should run MOTM, but I doubt that's a consideration.

Good luck with what you do, though.

outstanding is very much just a popularity contest...

And...No^^
