Soon the fanboy wet dream known as Halo 3 will be released, and considering the mass appeal and large xbox live community the DB has, Sarin approved a weeklong Halo 3 launch event. Because Bungie (Halo developer) made a sweet system of tracking individual match results, we are able to use Halo 3 like we would any of our official platforms, but matches will be played over Xbox Live. So for those of you interested in playing youll need a) and Xbox 360, b) Halo 3, and c) an Xbox Live Gold account
To signup for this event simply post a comment that includes your gamertag. Well use the tags given to create a list of eligible players, so make sure you sign up. The competition itself will run from the Saturday following Halo 3s release to the Saturday after that. That would be September 29th to October 6th.
Double CFs will be rewarded for the event. And the Top 3 placers will earn some sexy Halo-3 themed dossier rewards. The best win/loss records will determine the top placers, with ties going to whoever played more matches. Heres a sneak peak of one of the awards:

But...it's not a Star Wars game! We can't use it!
Hypocrisy aside, I've always been a supporter of the DB branching out in to other popular games. I do hope the event goes well, and serves as an example for how successful non-SW gaming in the DB can be.
Awesome man!!!!

Yes... all this hypocrisy. This weeklong event is just that - weeklong. Halo 3 won't become an official DB platform, nor will it be used in Gaming Nights, etc. If this goes well we'll see about running more competitions like this aimed at other non-SW games. But, most console games can't be supported for DB use simply because matches aren't recorded in the way Halo 3 records them. And, suffice it to say, the "honor system" isn't something I believe some DBers can handle.
That award image is hella cool.
Just FYI too -- the award is going to be put into your saber slot. It's not like a medal or anything.

If Myrmican seems to be playing really well, it's my boyfriend. If Myrmican suddenly jumps off the side of a cliff by mistake, that's me ;)
