Contest: Win a copy of Halo Uprising (Update) photo

Halo: ODST's Firefight mode is all about working as a team. When it comes to team based stuff though, you'll sometimes get stuck with someone who sucks and will hold your team back. What if you had a choice though? What if you could pick anyone else to be on your team?

For this contest, I want you all to show me what three characters you would bring with you into a Firefight match. Take an image from Halo 3 and simply Photoshop in the three characters you would want. It can be a super hero, characters from another game, the Dtoid staff, the Care Bears -- whatever. The choice is yours.

We'll be judging on how good the Photoshop is and/or how funny the image turns out. So no quick/lazy Photoshops! The best image will win a copy of Halo Uprising. You have until July 2 to submit an entry in the comments below.  

[Update: Just a reminder that the contest ends this Thursday! Hurry up and get your entries in the comments below! -- CTZ]

Offering a Halo game here may not be a good idea.

I hate Halo but I love Bendis and Maleev, especially their Daredevil, so I may need to consider this.

Wait, what? Brian Michael Bendis is involved in this?

Shoot.

Well it looks like none of you deserve to win it then. Hopefully they pick someone who actually likes Halo instead of on the bash bandwagon.

Dang. It's been awhile since there have been Photoshop contests, and of course you bring it back for something I'd actually like to win. =/ I guess I could just buy it instead.

Why all the hate for Halo all of a sudden? I love Halo and the Firefight in ODST looks great fun. Also, define quick and Lazy ;)

Anyway, here is Me and my team, firefightin' it up.



In case you didn't know who is in it, it's (From left to right) Sgt. Cortez, Me, Lara's Doppelganger and Alex Mercer. Yeah!

I'd love to win a copy of this, guess I'll have to get working on a photoshop. For now, enjoy this picture of Matt with his shirt off (I will update the photo link with my entry when I get it done):

@ Freefall

All of a sudden? You haven't been very observant. The overwhelming majority of people on this website hate Halo, so get used to it.

I'm thinking about giving this a try, I missed out on the original comic books and having them all together like this is super convenient.

@Warzombie

Overwhelming? I wouldn't say that, there's always been the louder people who think its cool to hate on Halo, I don't know, guess it makes them feel better. But it's quite pointless to say it in a Halo contest, don't you think?

The time to hate on Halo simply because it's Halo has passed, kids. Grow the fuck up. You don't like it, then don't play it or pay attention to it. I don't care for the Final Fantasy series, but you don't see me insulting the franchise or its fans.

BTW who is that chick in yours? Is she a mix of that character from Tripping the Rift and someone else?

lol, she's the 3 boobed prostitute from the movie "Total Recall"
Volcanon's Avatar
Volcanon at 06/21/2009 01:33
I chose my 3 for the set of skills each character brings to the table. First, Ash. Besides being totally badass, he is an expert at dual-wielding and trash talking. Forrest Gump is completely selfless and will never leave a man behind. Also, he's fast as hell and has plenty of stories to tell between matches. And lastly, the 3 boobed prostitue from Total Recall. She already has experience surviving on another planet, and can also distract the enemy just long enough for Ash to deliver a chainsaw to the jugular. Also, she has three boobs, and there are 3 of us...another way to pass the time between matches.

@Volcanon

ooOOOh thanks!
Funny how I couldn't remember her. Been a while since I've seen that movie. I'll go rewatch it. Nice choice! I went with Giganta because I think she's harder to ignore. Though I could probably see the 3 bewbed babe from a couple miles as well! Imagine if Giganta was 3 bewbed... O.O
- again Thanks.

Entry #2


I'd take the Marines from the First Recon Battalion from the HBO series "Generation Kill".

Pictured (left to right):
CPL. Gabe Garza (Gunner), SGT. Brad 'Iceman' Colbert (Passenger), and CPL. Josh Ray Person (Driver)

If you have seen Generation kill, this is an obvious choice :)

I wasn't sure if I could do this the way I wanted to so have two.

The first is James Bond, Master Chief, and Iron Man.



This second one is as if I was playing as Master Chief: There's Wolverine, James Bond, myself (as Master Chief), and Iron Man.
