The Wargamer

Tripwire Interactive has just announced its "Killing Floor Grindhouse" Custom Map Making Competition.  This is no small contest.  Tripwire is ponying up  $20,000-worth of prizes. In addition, Tripwire is partnering with Nvidia and Logitech to bring gamers a truly spectacular mapping contest for the zombie-slaughtering co-op hit that is Killing Floor. Killing Floor is now being offered at a "recession-friendly price".  Players have already created hundreds of custom maps, which inspired Tripwire to offer an economic stimulus package: the headline prize will be an awesome $10,000 for the Grand Prize winner.

The contest will run in two Waves. Wave 1 completes July 31, 2009, with a First Prize of $5,000 for the winner, while the runners-up will get prizes including Nvidia graphics cards and Logitech goodies. Wave 2 is the Big One, completing September 18, 2009. The Grand Prize will be $10,000. Yes, a full Ten Thousand Dollars for the winning entry! There will be more Nvidia graphics cards and Logitech goodies for runners-up in Wave 2.
