Greetings, fellow earthlings! After the community's overwhelmingly positive participation in the May Event Poll, we are proud to present to the people of GUN...


That's right folks! Put down your primitive sticks and clubs and hop into your X-Wings, shuttlecraft or hoverboards as we take a trip to the distant future with this months' events.

The theme for this contest is Modern Science Fiction, so show us your very best submissions from games like Mass Effect, Dead Space, Portal, Star Craft 2, Halo, Warframe, EVE Online, Destiny, Overwatch, Firefall, Deus Ex, X-COM, No Man's Sky, Star Trek or any of the dozens of Star-Wars games. Avoid titles centered around post-apocalyptic sci-fi, however.

Think more phasers and lightsabers, not Fallout or Metro style survival.

READ THESE RULES CAREFULLY:

The Submission period starts today! Hooray!

I wish I could just submit my entire Subnautica screenshot folder.
I don't really own that much sci fi games so I had to do with some games with sci fi elements in them. Don't worry the screenshots are appropriate I think.

I believe exploring alien planets counts right?

Subnautica: Some Alien waters exploration:

Lets kick of my first couple screenshots with a game that needs no introduction, Metal gear Rising: Revengence, even if it's not innately as sci-fi as other games people are going to post I'm sure.

as usual, here's the link to the reshade I use Enh4nced

Changelog (for personal Reference):

Mass Effect Andromeda.. game blows me away, hope these screenshots to as well!

Spent about an hour trying to come up with good ideas for screenshots in Star Wars Battlefront, ended up getting about 15 of them that i liked so narrowing it down to 3 was actually quite difficult but i think these are the best ones i got.

Thank you to my fellow committee members for your tireless work on these contests! Your hard work is not unappreciated, and will not be forgotten.

Thank you again to everyone who participated, and I hope you had fun even if you didn't win! We'll be distributing rewards over the next day or two depending on how fast my mail is today...

This topic is now open for feedback and praise. Let the complements flow!
Keep it real GUN, you beautiful bunch of weirdos. See ya!

Darn, I was sure I had a chance here.

Oh well.
Like Hulkscousin said it was a pretty close match.
All of the winners look wonderfull and the one I liked the most even won.
Pretty funny how I found "Hauki is a kala's" Dogfight screenshot to be way better than his sith lord screenshot.

As always I will be looking forward to the next screenshot contest.
Hopefully a theme where I have more games at my disposal.

Congrats the winners! I enjoyed the contest, though I think I should've prepped better screenshots. There's always next time!

Yes! 3rd place is really nice. GZ to @"JJHughes" for 1st place you really deserved it!

Eh :-( Missed a good stuff to take part in... :-((
Beautiful screens! Respect for the winners! ;-)

Ok first place is has dropping g! Nice one! Second place... I have that similar screenshot with my Shep.. I mean Ryder. Lol!

For the last two weeks I've been doing exams, I decided to stay of GUN for a couple days to revise for my last exam (which was yesterday) and I come back to this.
I can't tell you how much this means to me, 'May' seems to be my month
congratulations to everyone who participated, There was alot of steep competition this time around, I was sure I wouldn't even place this competition.
And in the least arrogant way possible thank you to all the judging comittee for their hard work.
Can't wait for the next competition, what ever the theme may be.

EDIT. my game choice would be Insurgency btw
