January 8, 2008 - Microsoft Game Studios and the U.S. Army today announced that U.S. gamers will have a chance to prove their skills in the first ever Halo 3 Championship Tournament, hosted exclusively on Xbox Live.

Gamers will have the opportunity to participate in a series of Halo 3 Basic Combat Training exercises leading up to the tournament. Designed specifically to prepare gamers for the Championship Tournament, these Basic Combat Training sessions will help gamers hone their skills with different weapons groups by offering exclusive training videos.

Registration for the first of three training sessions begins on Jan. 7, with gameplay beginning exclusively on Xbox LIVE on Jan. 19. Winners of these Basic Combat Training sessions will receive prizes, including Microsoft Points, exclusive "Halo 3" art, and more.

The Basic Combat Training schedule is as follows:


Registration begins: 1/7, Training begins: 1/19 – Sniper School

Registration begins: 1/28, Training begins: 2/9 – Heavy Weapons

Registration begins: 2/18, Training begins: 3/1– Vehicles


To further ensure that players are trained to the top of their games, the Army is also hosting a Branded Destination Experience site on Xbox LIVE. When the program begins, gamers will be able to access the site via their Xbox LIVE dashboard, gaining access to a Tips and Tricks section containing several videos and dedicated to providing the best combat strategies and advice experts have to offer. Gamers can even download free Themes and Gamer Pictures to commemorate their participation in "Halo 3" Basic Combat Training.

Gamers will be able to sign up to participate by logging onto the official Web site here: http://www.xbox.com/usarmy. Official rules and additional information can also be found on the site

I remember when I used this space to put cool looking links to my chapters back in the day. I don't even know why I'm using it now. Why are you even reading this? You must be interested in me. Still reading?

Wow, how I wish I had XBL. I should be getting it, hopefully.

They need to release the patch before the Tournament. This game doesn't play play right sometimes. And it has been proven a thousand times over. God I can't wait to get my commando shoulders.
