More On: Red Faction: Guerrilla
Starting today, THQ announced an achievement contest for the upcoming 3rd-person sci-fi action shooter, Red Faction: Guerrilla.  The challenge:  Submit a thinking-outside-the-box idea for an Xbox 360 Achievement and/or Playstation 3 Trophy -- and if you win, your Achievement/Trophy will be programmed into the game.  They already have the basic stuff, like Kill X Baddies With Y Weapon, and Complete That Level, etc, but they want to draw upon the creativity of the gaming community for that final achievement.  Deadline is September 26th.

CREATE A RED FACTION: GUERRILLA ACHIEVEMENT

 

 

Eligibility 

The “Create a Red Faction: Guerrilla Achievement” contest (“Contest”), is open to registered members of the Red Faction: Guerilla community forum (“Forum”), who are 18 years or older at the time of entry.  Red Faction: Guerrilla Achievements must be submitted to THQ Inc., and/or its subsidiary, Volition, Inc. (collectively “Sponsor”) at the following address http://community.redfaction.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=803.

Submissions will be accepted starting on September 16, 2008 at 12:01 AM Central Time (CST) and will be accepted until September 26, 2008, at 11:59 PM CST:   On or about September 29, 2008, the top 5 submissions will be selected by the Sponsor’s design team.  On or about September 30, 2008 at 12:00 PM CST the top 5 submissions will be posted on the Forum where members of the Forum can begin to vote for the best Red Faction: Guerrilla Achievement.  On or about October 3, 2008, at 11:59 PM CST voting closes and the Red Faction: Guerrilla Achievement with the most votes will be chosen as the winner.

 

How to Enter

1. The Achievement/Trophy (“Entry”) must be based on what was available during the MP Beta on Xbox LIVE.  Any weapons, backpacks, hilarious moments that you ran into during the beta are fair game for an idea.  This is only for the multiplayer component of the game. 

 

2. You should provide a title for your Entry as well as a single-sentence description of how to get it.

 

3.  We want you to think outside of the box.  The rest of the "normal" Achievements have already been created, such as those relating to game progress or a certain number of kills.

 

4.  Maximum of 3 Entries per username.  You are welcome to go back and edit your original post at any time to add / remove your ideas, but once we announce the close of the Contest (we'll give fair warning), there is to be no more editing.  Please put all 3 of your ideas into a single post.

 

Prizes

One (1) 1st Prize will be awarded and will consist of one (1) copy of Red Faction: Guerrilla Collectors Edition (ARV $89.99). Winner will select either the Xbox 360 or PlayStation PS3 platform or (1) copy of Red Faction Guerrilla Windows PC Standard Edition (ARV $49.99); (1) developer team T-Shirt (ARV $25.00), one (1) poster (ARV $10.00), and a profile on the main website.

Winner Selection

The top five (5) entries which are deemed "plausible" by the Sponsor., design team will be voted on by the Red Faction Guerrilla community in a new poll.  Whichever entry receives the most votes, will become the winner and be added to the final game.  1st prize winners and runner up winners will be notified by Personal Message and will be required to execute and return a notarized Affidavit of Eligibility & Release of Liability form, and (except where prohibited) a Publicity Release form within ten (10) days of issuance.   Failure to return all required documents in this time period may result in the winner being disqualified and an alternate winner selected.  If a prize notification or prize is returned to Sponsor as undeliverable for any reason, prize will be awarded to an alternate. Runner up prize winners will be notified within sixty (60) days of the selection date with the delivery of their prize by mail or other delivery service selected by Sponsor.  No substitution by a winner for their prize.  In the event a substitution for a prize becomes necessary due to unavailability, a prize of equal or greater value will be substituted at the sole discretion of Sponsor.  Prizes are not transferable or redeemable for cash.  All Federal and state tax liabilities are the sole responsibility of the winners. Acceptance of a prize constitutes permission (except where prohibited) to Sponsor and its designees to use of winner's name, address (city and state), likeness and statements for publicity purposes without additional compensation or limitation
