It's just a month away from the release of Halo Wars, and the Mythic Map pack for those who buy the game! Cryptic, who has been on Bungie.net only one month longer than me (bloody hell!), is announcing a great new contest to get those Forge juices flowing with the new maps. Registration starts today, so be sure to get in soon! A free year subscription to Xbox Live, or $50 of MS points are on the line! Check the jump for all the contest details...

Happy Halodays Wild Card Winner | mrsmiley { January 13, 2009 }
In case you didn't know, we help a final round to the Happy Halodays contest last week. In the Wild Card round, all the members of HBN had the opportunity to vote for their own favorite submissions. There was a good response, and I think the winner is quite deserving for his efforts. For those wondering, the "twist" was that the artist of the screenshot was all we counted for points, not the picture they submitted. So if someone had 5 votes for one pictures, and 5 votes for another, we just counted the artist as having 10 votes.
Yay.
Read on for the winner and runner-ups that YOU chose, and stay tuned for the grand prize winner soon!

Happy Halodays Round 3 Winner | mrsmiley { December 24, 2008 }
Round 3 of the Happy Halodays screenshot contest has come to an end, and I must say that it was the most difficult contest I have ever had to judge. After Bungie posted our news on their front page, we got over four times as many entries as previous rounds. The huge majority of these screenshots were great! Unfortunately, there is only one winner per round. Read on for the winners, runners-up, and some great honorable mentions.
