ModDB - Mod the Year 2009 Winners Announced

[Gben 20]

Winners of the ModDB "Mod of the Year 2009" were recently announced. Renegade-X, the Unreal Engine TC, received a nomination for best multiplayer's mod in the editor's choice. Twin projects from Bluehell Productions, Red Alert: A Path Beyond & Red Alert 2: Apocalypse Rising from the original Renegade engine, were giving honourable mentions in the players choice category of Best Indie Game. In the countdown to the Players Choice Mod of the Year, Zero Hour's C&C Shockwave placed 9th in Mod of the year, and Renegade-X picked up a second award by placing 5th in this category as well.

 

As a reminder: any Indie game or Mod must place higher than it has in previous years and must have had a significant update in 2009 in order to qualify: otherwise an honourable mention is given. For those interested here are the winners:

Unfortunately we weren't techically eligible to actually "win" this time around; we had Cold Fusion come out 11th hour basically as it was, having forgotten the MOTY as a focus. I think we also need to score *first place* to win again. Edited February 7, 2010 by Chronojam

Top 5 two years in a row is good enough for me

Hey I forgot to congratulate everyone... congrats!

 

I was really pleased to see a wide variety of mods make the final nominations and players choice... not just filled with half life zombie clones!

I guess competition rules help in some cases...

Forget about the KW Patch 1.03, Gben. You haven't forgotten about the KW Mod SDK that can change it all when it will be released.

 

Even Renegade-X winded up in fourth place for the Mod of the Year award.
