You free for Halloween?

Then don’t miss this HALO-ween Halo:Reach Tournament.

Tournament details:

7 qualifying rounds with the first round starting at noon Pacific Standard Time. Up to fifteen contestants will compete each round, with the top 2 advancing. Each round will consist of as many games as we are able to fit into the round, which lasts approximately an hour and a half. The gametypes/maps will vary according to player input, but will be focused around Slayer variants. Points will accumulate throughout the round. For each game played during that round, points are awarded as follows: 1st place – 3 points, 2nd place – 2 points, 3rd place – 1 point. At the end of the round, the two contestants with the highest point totals will advance to the Championship round.

Championship Round details:

Once the last qualifier is concluded, the 14 finalists will compete in the championship round. I anticipate this will start at 10:30 pm. Again, the gametypes/maps will vary according to player input, but will be focused around Slayer variants.

Prize details:

The winner of the Championship round will win a $60 credit to the Gamestop store of their choice.

So I logged into Xbox Live today and the ad for Halo Waypoint was there. I had been working so hard I forgot this was coming out. I immediately downloaded the app, and launched. Pretty cool portal, and they did a good job making it easy to activate and get around the various screens.

For those of you wondering about Halo Waypoint…here are some links:
