Congrats winners! I thought the Windows one was really funny. Hopefully at least the (literally) game-stopping bugs get fixed and this game can get the love it deserves.

Wow really?! That was probably my worst caption!

Not a bad list though and coolguycooldude deserves the win for the C.E.L.L soldier male model one! I even PM'ed him about its greatness!

thanks Crytek! (although I would have liked the Retaliation DLC :) )

Well...I may seem like I'm biased because I had an entry too...but I agree with majstor...I only really found the soviet russia and 'protect me windows' ones funny. I think they chose the winners based on amount of effort though...nevertheless congrats all winners and entrants!

We asked the question if it had to be funny, they didn't respond, guess that means no.

We didn't want to limit creativity too much :)

Everyone has a different sense of humour so it's impossible to choose a top 5 that everyone agrees with but we went through every entry here in the office and picked out our favourites to narrow them down together.

We look forward to more creative and funny input from future contests to come. So if you didn't win this time, there's always next time with more awesome prizes to be won! :D

Cheers!

Awesome! I'm second :D
I didn't expect that and I didn't think that this one was my best, but I'm so glad that you liked it. Good choice with the 1st winner, really fabulous ;] I think everybody agrees with that. We also PM'ed each other with Ordinary_Story, I though his other one caption was funnier, but this one is very good too. Thank you Crytek and congratulations to all the winners!

Congrats Tobiasz! I think "Battle of waterloo" was too tasteless in humor to win..but we both know those are the funniest ones ;)

but, Great list of winners! I remember laughing at each of the winner's caption's at some point of time. esp, Jodeth's "Y u no bump fist" one lol

I didn't know either but I just gave it a shot, to help the nostalgia.
Btw, the rules didn't say it had to be funny.

Well I don't know, I liked some of my other ones but I don't know if I had a best one, maybe "battle of waterloo" or "Dystopian after party" came close..but they were all funny in their own stupid way..

I really liked making fun of Gould, the lady lumps one, the anti-joke one but I guess my favourite would be "Dystopian After Party" for all it's subtle characterisations.

Haha, I guess it wasn't chosen cause it was comic styled instead of plain caption. At least we know the contest wasn't rigged :D Yours were clever cause you combined your pics into another pic, plus the way you posed the CELL soldiers was amazing. It was good as anyone could pose in gmod. Genius stuff man!
Maybe later Crytek will have a comic contest :3
