The 3rd annual "Rocket's On Prisoner" Award's can be reffered to as the Academy Awards or Oscar's of Halo. CAG's own rywateska had his Farewell Montage nominated, along with a few other videos, for a shot at one of these "Oscar's".

After a small delay the The 3rd annual "Rocket's On Prisoner" Award's are beginning to be released! To date four Ceremonies have been released. Best Trailer, Best Music Video, Best Documentary and today...Best Montage. Thanks to the support of the CheapAssGamer community my Halo 2 Montage, Farewell, was able to pull in enough overall votes to win the category! I'd like to thank everyone who watched, supported, and voted for Farewell! It is awesome that the Best Halo 2 Montage of the year can be found right here on CAG! I'll write up more on my thoughts once the final ceremony is posted.

Hmm...must be too many CAGs rushing to vote. The link is correct.
I'll take the front page post down for now.

That seemed to work. ;) Watching that video reminds me why I should never try to play FPS's online.

It's annoying how you have to vote for every category. I haven't seen most of these things. I just did random for the other categories.

This was one of the best Halo movies I've seen and he's a CAGer so he got all my votes. Nothing comes close to Warthog Jump IMHO for pure HA HA and OMG factors but this was damn good. I'm extremely impressed with his no scope abilities if those were all competitive games and not staged.

I watched them both this morning and thought they were pretty good. They actually made me want to start playing Halo 2 again on Live. I was already running late to work as it was though, so I haven't voted yet, but I'll be sure to do so tonight. Some of those kills are just hilarious.

Where are the links to the other videos?

It doesn't make sense to vote for one video when none of the other nominees have been seen.

BTW, tossing the plasma grenade onto the Warthog was amazing. Funnier still was the dupe that was wearing a plasma grenade as a backpack.

Just click on the "nominees" page at the top of the "voting" page to see all the videos. And some of those nade tosses are still fun to watch for me to this day, haha!

So what's the story behind the name of the awards? Are the trophies shaped like the Rockets on Prisoner or is it a reference to a landmark Halo movie?

To the best of my knowledge the name comes from the Halo CE map Prisoner. A popular gametype that is played on it is Rockets. My best guess is that they took the name from there.
