Hey fellow addicts...I'm curious to see if any of you have participated in the national Halo tournament.

I got asked to play after a buddy of mine, who was on the list, couldn't make it.

I passed round 1 and progressed to round 2. The first game was Sidewinder, all vehicles, standard weapons, and radar. I came in second place with 24 kills and 3 deaths. The first place dude, of course, had 25 kills and 11 deaths. He barely beat me, but, fortunately, I was able to progress to round 2 since the 1st and 2nd place winners are able to progress.

Round 2 was Crazy King at Blood Gulch, all vehicles, standard weapons (Plasma pistol was the starting weapons - the one that charges up), and radar. In this game, I found my ass gently placed into a sling and then handed to me I came in sixth place after I discovered that the 1st and 2nd place dudes teamed up. Oh well...bad draw of competition.

Round 3...I wasn't in it, but, the map and rules were Sidewinder Snipers, no shield, and 10 kills. All of these rounds include a total of 8 players free for all.

So, who played in the tournament and who is still playing!!??!
