Ideas for contests?

What do you guys think would be some good ideas for contests I can run to give away beta keys? :)

I have some ideas but it can’t hurt to have more!

Cheers!

P.S. This weekend I went BUNGEE JUMPING for the first time! Pics soon.

    1. Screen picture contest/ Cover design ideas for OF manual something arty etc.
    2. For those of us who are less artistic and more literal, maybe a facts about WW2 or facts about gameplay for CoH contest.
    3. My personal favourite give beta keys to ppl who request one…
    4. Just give everyone fair warning this time round.

    The most hilarious screen capture from COH without any photoshop retouch.

  3. Sash Says:

    Something that isn’t time dependant! 3AM CoH tourney ftw (or lose, I forget around the 2 AM mark)

  4. re-con Says:

    5. Unit phrase contest. Come up with a phrase a unit can say in different situations.

    How about ‘Best camo face paint pic’ ?

  6. HYBRiS Says:

    Please arrange more mod and map making contests, that results in stuff that the community actually need.
    That or plain 1v1, 2v2, 3v3 or even 4v4 tournaments would be nice to boost up the community.

    How about a contest where only nyyti wins? (I want key ^^)
    …..
    ok j/k

    Map making contest/ best screenshot/ comic?

    Also yay for bungee pics….though I would have appreciated the video about it (>.

    Honestly, I would like to see that Relic gives a closed Beta key to however is willing to take time for doing something like re-con suggested above:

    1. Screen picture contest/ Cover design ideas for OF manual something arty etc.
    2. For those of us who are less artistic and more literal, maybe a facts about WW2 or facts about gameplay for CoH contest or something like suggestion for eventual faction or doctrine/company for upcoming CoH tittle.

    Not simply giving them away freely, but giving them to hardcore CoH player that will take time to make a little story or dig up WW2 facts or doing an artistic arrangement or I don’t know what, but it will show that these persons simply take the time and want to be involved in the closed Beta process and also are willing to give their time to make the next CoH a really fun and as much as possible balanced right off the bath game !

    Because the way it was done for the 1 vs 1 Tournament was a fiasco. So giving plenty of time and being clear about instruction on “how to” needs to be a top priority for the next event.

    Cheers!

    Funny screencap taken by enterant or maybe captions to an existing screencap.

    That would be a simple comp that anyone can enter that isn’t limited to people in certain timezones and hopefully show that the enterant has a true love of the game ;)

    6. Design a CoH forum skin for RN

    Winner gets key and skin for the forum.

  11. Archer2338 Says:

    Nice, how was it?

    And my idea, a few people think like me, apparently.

    Give beta keys away to the people who can write up an original article about WWII facts.

  12. Blechdose Says:

    It’s not an idea for a contest, but I would take a look at which people have contributed a lot to the COH forum and offer them a beta key. I think this would be a great reward for dedicated members of the community.

  13. Dubby Says:

    Keyes for the best one line audio scripts e.g. “Eye’s and ear’s engineers” and taglines “Opposing Fronts

  14. Dubby Says:

    Keyes for the best one line audio scripts e.g. “Eye’s and ear’s engineers” and taglines “Opposing Fronts ‘enter some text here’”. Oh and keyes for all CoH players in Ireland.

    \* double post, stupid keyboard, sry

  15. Pyros Says:

    I think the screenshot/game cover contests sound really cool. I’d really like to see what people could do for an Opposing Fronts cover. Sure, they could take screenshots of the game, but since Opposing Fronts isn’t out yet, I think we’d see some pretty creative entries…

  16. iplay2win Says:

    what about somthing like usfull tricks for current coh. it would be aimed at a good type of person to have in the beta ^^

  17. Third Says:

    A contest of comming up with contests on how to get keys? :D

  18. Buggo Says:

    Thanks for the ideas guys! I have already run a “Forum Veteran” contest on RelicNews and GameReplays… stay tuned for more!

  19. cheeseman Says:

    No contest for DoW fans?Awwww,we gonna feel so left out.

    Anyway,i think a mod contest for CoH and DoW will be a good idea with some money as prize.

  20. Unkn0wn Says:

    Should consider mapping/modding contest as they’re an important part of the community aswell and have a hard time getting acknowledged as it is :P

  21. TheBorkster Says:

    I’d like to see a contest about something artisic pertaining to CoH. Like maybe a short story, screenshots, songs, and whatever fits your fancy.

  22. FanaticOpposition Says:

    How about a contest for those with cool looking signatures that they made themselves for the GR boards? I spent 2 hours making mine and if thats not dedication, and those that do it dont deserve a key, then I just dont know :)

    Besides it would be a grwat way to get people to showcase and vote on cool sigs :) would be fun just to see them all in one thread, key contest or not.

  23. Stokes Says:

    A screenshot thing or a Sig contest might be cool.

    Another one is mabye ask people “Why do you want to join the OF beta?” That might be a cool one too.

    Damn I can’t wait to play OF. I’ve never been so excited about a video game, LOL.
