I wasn't even aware of this contest until I checked this week's news on Bungie five minutes ago.
The results are posted at Games In Action forums, here: http://forums.gamesinaction.com/ibb/posts.aspx?postID=20089

RUNNER-UP: M12 "Heavy" LRV
Personal Critique: Not very good concept, or paper rendition for that matter. I'm amazed it got as far as it did, and if it is "Heavy," why didn't he just call it an "HRV?"

THIRD PLACE: M12 Heavy LRV (also)
Personal Critique: Beat out the above entry, although both have the same, uninventive name. However, it is another excellent APC concept to come out of the Halo fanbase, and a pretty good piece of artwork, too.

SECOND PLACE: "Brute Maul"
Personal Critique: This made 2nd Place? Are you kidding me? I guess there weren't many entries.

FIRST PLACE: the A30-SF "Dragonfly"
Personal Critique: Superb idea, planning, layout, and all-around execution of concept. From the .GIF Introductory Presentation to the beatifully detailed piece-by-piece 3D model to go with it, it is highly deserving of its #1 status. I hope this guy enjoys his free copy of Halo 3 Legendary Edition.

Looks like a contender has arisen for the Hoplite-Phoenix. Too bad MINED didn't enter.
I'm sure he could have beaten that piece of shit MS Paint weapon out of Second Place.

Dragonfly = <3.

The rest are decently drawn, the first HRV is kinda fail as far as ideas go, though.

Not everything has to be some insanely complex, fully-modeled idea just to be good, though the Dragonfly was anyway.

Fuck that, H2V.

Both, because H2's engine has a feel of suck.

Halo 2's engine kicks the living shit out of Halo's. It'd look awesomer on H2.

Well, unless someone saved it to their "My Pictures" folder, I don't see how it's going anywhere.

Edit: images are back.

I disagree. It might look better graphically, but otherwise, my opinion stands. The H1 engine just has a better feel to it.

I think you mean the game itself, not the engine.

I like that second Heavy LRV. It's like the human version of the covenant shadow. mb even a chaingun position somewhere, and that would make an awesome land stransportion vehicle in MP, for fight and for machinima.

Mostly the physics of the game, and the graphic style.

PErsonally, I think the tortoise or turtle watever one it was shoudl have been 2nd. It looked very haloish to me

Graphics style is art, not engine. And Halo's physics were nearly non-existent.

Dragonfly reminds me of a UT vehicle. The brute maul looks like it was drawn for Invader Zim.

Why do you insist on liking an inferior engine more when the game's appearance and atmosphere have nothing to do with the engine, aside from obvious technical constraints? :confused2:

Okay fine, it's the physics. They weren't technically great, but they have a certain feel to them that I prefer to Halo 2. Halo 2 was too much of a departure from the feel of Halo 1.

You guys have just been going back and forth about Halo Blam! vs. Halo 2 Blam! and I still don't know why.

I'd blame that on the game itself, not the engine. Halo with H2's engine (aside from having a lot more graphical potential) wouldn't be a whole lot different.

Tbh the Dragonfly looks a bit Covy in design, what with the curves and what not. Still say the only true equivelant I've seen so far to the Banshee is the Hoplite.
