The users with the most "Cool" votes on their Operation Flashpoint Video Capture Contest Videos will be the winners. The winners will NOT be chosen randomly. It's all about the votes, and whether or not the user has followed all of the steps to make their video eligible.

No. Aside from a title screen at the beginning, or credits at the end, the rest of the entire video MUST be raw game footage as recorded by Xfire Video Capture. No Machinima, editing, music, or additional content allowed. Videos found breaking this rule will be disqualified.

No! It's all about the best video and the votes it gets! A video can get cool votes for having awesome graphics, or because the graphics are bad! It's all about how you sell it.
