Halo 5: Guardians Tournaments Will be Live at Microsoft Stores in North America and Australia7/23/2017 Halo, since Halo: Combat Evolved graced store shelves has been a steadfast "couch-game," one which spurred the development of the competitive console market and console multiplayer as we know it today. To celebrate Halo's legacy as a community game, Microsoft will be hosting monthly Halo 5: Guardians tournaments at 50 microsoft store locations in North American and Australia. Microsoft claims that these tournaments will be reminiscent of "overnight LAN parties at a friend’s house or their first tournament at a local gaming center," and I for one cannot wait to find out. I encourage Microsoft's initiatives that cultivate the community following of Halo. Directly from Microsoft: Beginning August 6, and open to all players, the Microsoft Store will host a series of monthly tournaments featuring various formats to help players meet, share fun and memorable experiences, as well as win some prizes along the way. Here’s a look at the schedule:
For each tournament, all participating players will receive a Gold REQ pack, while the Top 3 players/teams will take home Platinum REQ packs. Additionally, each month, 5 lucky participants will receive limited edition controllers. To top it all off, if you participate in all three tournaments, you’ll be entered to win an all-new Xbox One X! Here's a look at the participating stores, and you can register for the first tournament on August 6 here.
