Top 100 Voting
Your vote has been cast and the winners have been locked in. Soon it will be that time of year when we present the best mods and indie games of 2008 with the help of the US Air Force.
Posted by INtense! on Feb 6th, 2009
Running the Mod of the Year is always an incredible experience for us at ModDB. The stakes are high, the prizes and support of the competition is stronger than ever (with our announcement of the US Air Force's involvement today). The development scene is healthier than it has ever been, with so many deserving mod and indie games battling it out to become recognized as the best of 2008. After all, past winners, runners up and top 100 titles have gone on to become so much more, when a hobby becomes a job and a well regarded commerical success story.
Little over 24 hours ago top 100 voting closed in the 7th Annual Mod of the Year awards. You have spoken with your votes and the winners are locked in. In a few weeks time we will begin the "winners showcase" phase which runs for the remainder of this month. Each day an editors choice pick (across a number of categories) will be announced OSCARS style (i.e. nominee's then the winner). Expect an assortment of great titles to be coming your way. Then as the curtain closes the culmination of the competition occurs on the last day of Febuary as we announce the 2008 Mod of the Year.
Finally I would like to welcome the US Air Force as the major sponsor of this years winners showcase. With their support we know we can continue to grow this competition and help you continue to be recognised as the great developers and innovators you are.
It’s amazing how modders can take a game everyone knows and loves, add a little inspiration, imagination and hard work and create something completely new — a mod that is downloaded by thousands and worthy of great praise. It’s this ingenuity that makes us proud to be associated with the 2009 Mod of the Year Awards. After all, the men and women of the United States Air Force exhibit the same modder-like qualities every day. Whether it’s breaking the sound barrier for the first time, inventing GPS or developing software to fend off cyber attacks, we know what it’s like to have ideas that demand to be born. So congratulations to this year’s winner and all the participants. May your next mod be downloaded by millions.

US Airforce?
Now that's branching out a little...
They're probably looking for new recruits to go and "liberate" some country.
the average age for a gamer/modder is 20something and im pretty sure thats just what age they want new recruits. but it wont be that effective, seeing as how this is an international site, and not many people here agree with what the US army is doing to the world, hence your comment.
Its more like to convince us that the airforce is cool and we should support (it even if they get ordered to attack out country)

**** every branch of the military. You should only join to serve your country not because they have similar interest (which they don't). They are a workhorse and when you're told to do something you work your *** off 'till it's done. It's volunteer work and a sacrifice not a cool place to be. You become government property which sounds cool until you realize you're a slave and sometimes they like to experiment on you... Boot camp is the same **** that they put troubled youth through. They even ******* tell you to turn off your brain in boot camp. That's what they told me after threatening to beat me up and **** and get me thrown in the brig for wanting out near graduation. I am so ******* glad I got out of that **** hole. They even make fun of the civilians which are the people you're supposed to be defending. Their gay little lie for each other ****** brotherhood **** is more important to them. **** the air force and especially the Navy who used to advertise here last year. They also turn you into a bunch of lying snitches in bootcamp. I wouldn't trust some of the people who enlist with my dog let alone my life. One *** tried to force me to use my tooth brush in a urinal after I used it. The *** had no ranking above me even he was just a big power hungry piece of ****. FUUUUUUCK THE MILITARYYYYYYY AND THE ELITES THAT CONTRL THEM. :O
(buried)
Oh and I'd like to add that even the guys who worked at the training academy hated the Navy. The guys at the shooting range would rant about how we gunner's mates were replacements for american body bags in the middle east. Lots of other military men and women there love to get their hate for the military off of their chest. I feel sorry for anyone who thinks that our military is an honorable choice right now. Only losers join it and defend what they are doing right now just to give their **** lives some purpose. ******* morons...

Semper Fi.

You served a globalist agenda, dog meat. You didn't help one god damn american other than drain tax payer dollars but since they print money like toilet paper now the only thing you accomplished was invading other countries. I hope your radiated *** doesn't have cancer because I know a 4 year servant is a grunt. I bet you wish you stayed in after all those dead braincells. I hope you do ok in the civilized world. They aren't with you no more to babysit you, buddy.
Do me a favor and go back to your conspiracy theory videos, Turbofag.
Seriously, this guy has got to be the biggest joke I have ever seen.
Sounds like someone couldnt handel Basic Training. You probably got rejected cause you whine so much and now your mad at the government for not accepting your sorry ***. God Bless our troops!

join the military god bless you, losers.
Ivory gaurd i dislike this country so so so so so much. but the soldiers man you guys got real balls, i cant hate you guys you guys do some pretty rough ****, This guy probably failed highschool got a G.E.D. and thought o well hur hur hur i can go into the military and have easy living moment he found out the military required work this jackass decided that it wasnt his fault he is a 100% failure its everyone elses fault. I hope his mom throws him out of her basement. *salute*
It won't be effective since the only people who browse this site are nerds like us who spend their time finding mods for video games.
gamers making ignorant statements about politics, whoda thunk it
******** making ignorant statements about gamers, whoda thunk it
morons turning innocuous conversations about gaming into political flamewars? what a suprise
Can you people shut the **** up and concentrate on the topic at hand?
On the contrary, there was not even a hint of "politics" in my post. I suggest you read it again.
Perhaps we should refrain from feeding the troll... =/
Sell one F-22 Raptor and you have budget for 10 games HL2 class :D
It was this way last year. And I love the Air Force :P
Can we talk about mods?
You know... the MOTY awards are about mods.
That was a definite "What The?!"
(see Rove Live to know what that's about).
It's good when the planet's largest armed forces takes an interest in this sort of thing? I assume? It certainly grabs attention I suppose...
It certainly eclipsed my original intention of seeing who won when I was reading the article!
What I can only assume is a fellow Aussie, gidday mate :)
(Rove is hilarious)

Im not sure the American taxpayers would like this.. damn government.
(buried)
**** usa , damn criminals.
also.. stop killing innocent people so you can steal theire oil
You really are quite ignorant aren't you?
No he's not. He's simply stating what happened in the last few years. It's up to the USA to change this.
What my compatriot forgot is that we (romanians) also have troops deployed in Iraq. That kinda put us in the same boat with US, right?
Think a bit before making that kind of statements.

I think its kinde of ocward haveing the American military here, but isn't that a bit rasist to say ?
(buried)
Shut the hell up you stupid ***. The only reason that we are in Iraq was Bush, but he doesn't represent The USA anymore, so if you have problems don't post on a game website, go send a letter to Bush himself you coward
Aren't you a moron. Name a war where civilians weren't killed and the fact that these people use civilians as shields and they don't wear uniforms.
I'm not saying that USA should be in Iraq, we shouldn't, I'm saying that America isn't to blame for it, our past president was. Sorry for my above comment, he really upset me but I was out of hand there.
Is this what is known as a "Flame War"?
I think so....
(buried)
INCOMING FLAME!
I SAY YOU SHOULD ALL SHUT THE **** UP, except for captain source, the only person arguing about this who actually SEEMS to know whats going on. So, how about you go get a big cup of STFU and think before you say something stupid in the future.
is that how the military fanboys act?
@ Gen_Giggleguns I agree, If I wanted to argue then I would go to a debate website.
What happened to Mod Of The Year? I feel like I have went to a very bad United Nations Summit Meeting or something. *Clicks on Tiberian Dawn Redux Mod homepage before he gets caught in the flaming crossfire* :/
I blame the people who allowed his reelection.
In any case seeing the army invest in gaming makes me think "Maybe SkyNet isnt all that fat away"
Heh because gaming and skynet are one in the same :P
"I'm not saying that USA should be in Iraq, we shouldn't, I'm saying that America isn't to blame for it, our past president was."
Wrong. You elected that sucker. Twice.
Actually that's debatable. But facts and beliefs are rarely the same thing.
based on how this comment has been buried I'm guessing most of the people who pass through here are Americans...
Nah, he was just being a retard. There are better ways to express your opinion without acting like a ignorant *******.
Hey mods, if you're going to start deleting comments, why don't you delete ALL the stupid ones instead of cherry-picking mine?
Mods are biased. You should know that by now. One mod flamed me once and he was wrong. My karma was +5 and then the whole thing was deleted. they should know that even by bringing something as stupid as the military here they've ensued a **** storm. This is all really their fault.
There is no country stronger, safer, or freer than the USA. And if you people have a problem with that, then I don't care.
God bless the USA.
