I'm tired of WW2 themed games, but congrats to them

No big shock. They were head and shoulders above the rest. The only other mods I played that made me think I was playing a different game were air buccaneers, which sucked, and alien swarm, which got old.

I don't think it's like any other WW2 game. It's much different, gameplay wise.

I don't get it. The prize doesn't seem to match the name of the contest.

$1,000,000 over 4 rounds with multiple contests.
There have been cash prizes/computer prizes given to winners/runners up of previous rounds of the competition, so overall the value of the prizes is $1,000,000.
The main prize is "only" worth $400,000 though ($50,000 cash and $350,000 engine).

Well I suppose the engine could be worth more if they actually make a game out of it, but then again it could be worth nothing if they do nothing with it. I'd rather take the $400k in cash

 

[TrueEevil]

me to but unreal engine is equally as awsome (potential profit)

Big turn out.

I hope a publisher picks them up, its practically money in the bank. All they would have to do is say "look at counterstrike, put the mod on a disk and charge $20".
