After 365 days of waiting, the 5th Annual Mod of the Year Awards have kicked off - the definitive event that showcases the best mods in the world and recognizes the mod teams behind them. The "MOTY" is a tribute to the creativity, dedication & hard work YOU (the mod developers) put into creating unique gaming experiences that enable us gamers to "Play Something Different".
The rules are simple and the prizes are big. Mod DB brings you the best mods in the industry. You decide which ones are worthy of recognition. From Nov 15th to Jan 1st, industry professionals, gamers, developers and YOU will cast your vote to decide which mod will attain the ultimate prize and become Mod DB's 2006 Mod of the Year.
Thanks to our sponsors, this year we have greatly enhanced the program with video content and interactive features, so please watch our introductory trailer below and join us on an unforgettable journey as we present the 5th Annual Mod of the Year Awards.
For the mod teams - expect to hear from us heaps soon because we want you to get your trailers up and in-front of the millions of fans and getting votes! For the gamers - expect a barrage of new and exciting content to come your way throughout this 3 month celebration. So grab some mods and get voting!
Nice vid! Padman FTW!
Hey this video rocks! ^^
Hi friends, i really like that moddb trailer and one scene is included from the Q3A-Mod World of Padman, that's great! If you want to vote for us, check our profile (https://www.moddb.com/games/world-of-padman). And there'll be an audio award? That's great! WoP has a lot of song from dieselkopf, a swedish industrial band. They made some tracks espacially for the mod, some very nice music. Green Sun, my band, recorded a hymn for WoP in the last couple of days but the song is hold back to promote the standalone later. Stay tuned and thx for the possabilities here on moddb.com.
Cool a "Unreleased moty" catigory!
vote = Moddb.com
D.E.A.D FTW
Hell yeah for the KF footage in there > :D
VOTE KF for MOTY
Moddb.com
lol, (yeah, im corny as **** - but everyone else is on this bandwagon, so you may as well humor me)
Great video :)
Moddb.com <--- stand alone games deserve a chance :)
LOL, I saw Stellar Conflicts logo in there. Too bad its dead because of lack of PROGRAMERS (Hint). I might have to make a trailer anyway. Hell if it wins something, maybe a programmer will come along.
Are you giving out one gaming rig to each winning team, or a gaming rig to each winning team member?!
Might sound like a stupid question but I feel that you didn't explain enough how prices will be dealt with. :P
What is that zombie mod in the trailer??? What is the name of it and whats game for it??
Will there be parties anywhere? I'd like to go to a Moddb - Party and make it a really cool event. Here in Hamburg I could organize this easily, but it needs to be thought over. Wouldn't it be cool to make the mod-community more open to outsiders? Because whenever I tell one of my friends about modding games they are like: "wtf are you doing?" Most people don't have the slightest idea such a cool thing like modding exists.
And even though it will get harder (with the new engines) to keep up with commercial projects, the originality here will win everybody over, I think.
So thanks Moddb, think about making "happeningS" out of the award. The only problem I see is that a lot of people who mod are to young to go to the kind of party I'm talking about. But otherwise: MAKE IT BIG! Moddb grows all the time. We need a voice to speak to the outside world someday...
There is an editors choice audio award! It will happen, we are working on tons of features and we'd like the important of good sound to be one of them!
We cannot ignore one of the senses :D
Very, very exciting stuff all around!
I second that party idea!
I hope you are all going to vote!
Exclamation mark all round!
!!!
I saw Eternal Damnation in there, awesome!
To all mods I am running my radio and my radio show. If you have time I run my shows Wednesday and Friday. If you want some exposure and pr please contact me for a interview and we will promote your moddb status and profile.
That was an awesome video. I'm very excited for this year's MOTY. It's going to be the best yet. :)
Keep up the voting people! Let the best mod win :D!
cool stuff
So you'll be able to see how many votes are logged - you just wont see who is winning :P
We don't want to spoil the surprise...
Nice video. =)
I'm not sure whether I like the idea of big prizes.
Cool cool, cant wait to read about the best mods. =P
Btw, I thought I read somewhere that the Empires mod Mod of the year trailer was uploaded, but I dont see it anywhere. >_>
What is US NAVY doing to sponsor ?
Thanks for the logo apparition! Good luck to everyone!
:D liked the video, vote Reborn all :D
lady N thinks that an OB mod needs to win an award ;)
lady N thinks she shall link to her mod now: Moddb.com
lady N thinks that MOTY is a terrific thing and that she needs to stop talking in 3rd person (its the rain i tell ya!).
All very cool stuff, but where is the Empires trailer? I know that it was uploaded a while ago, but I don't see it anywhere.
Go Hammy-bob mod!! XD
We'll be uploading a lot more trailers to the Movie Theater page, so don't worry, guys. :)
WOOHOO! Let the madness begin! :D
Looking awesome! Impressive sponsors this year around, and damn, that's an awesome video! Can't wait to see which mods *YOU*, the *players* of ModDB select!
The sound effects in that video were.. kinda lame, heh.
I got this announcement -3131253923 seconds ago
What's the future like?
lol, corny video.
and of course to others dedicated modders and everyone else around. The trailer is so good, that I'm actually going to buy it, move into it and travel around... GET IT trailer like a motor vehicle trailer where not so wealthy ppl live... *ban the dumb *** a.k.a. me/just kidding, hey I'm a kid... I'll stop now*... :thumbup:
Don't see your arses helping out with this massive undertaking. So put up or shut up.
Ummm, acording to ModDB, i recived this message 100 years from now.
I got mine in July of the year 7963 AD.
That video kicked ***! :)
very cool video!... with the xmas vibe coming too, love this time of year, lots of bored modders indoors, out from the cold..working hard...shear joy.
Visit this profile Moddb.com and than decide about your vote for this mod :)
That Empires vid need to be in here... :D
Nice vid! Digg'd.
BTW, it's Operation Peacekeeper, not Operation Peacemaker.
Woot, let's get this party started!
But giving one gaming rig to an entire mod team? I smell some nasty fighting among the winning teams :P
In light of all the mods round this page.
Let the best one win!
Now begin the voting XD
No Empiresmod in the video? I hope it on the theatre soon!
