Registration for the online tournament will open up sometime in March with the actual competition going down in April with winners walking away with prizes and instant gaming fame. And to prepare for April's Halo 3 Championship Tournament they'll be holding monthly Combat Training Exercises to build excitement. The first event being Sniper School which is now open for registration, followed by Heavy Weapons on February 9th and Vehicles on March 1st. You'll have to register for each Combat Training Exercise when the time comes, so watch for those.
Finally, the US Army will be sponsoring a Destination Experience site on Xbox Live that will serve up videos, tips and expert Halo 3 advice. Get in on the action by registering for Sniper School right now, join all the other events through March, learn to pwn like a pro and come April you'll have a chance to prove yourself in the online tournament. We expect that you'll do just fine.

The Destination Experience site on Xbox Live is sweet. I wish game publishers will follow. If you haven't seen it yet you should go check it out now ;)

This is because the America's Army game sucked isn't it? You'd think Call of Duty 4 would be a better recruiting tool. Unless of course they've got their sights set on the teens and will have the future weapons out when they're of age.

When you sign up for Sniper School, you're actually signing up for the Army. Sgt. Slaughter just came to my house and picked me up by my face and said, "You're mine now, maggot". Scariest thing ever. :(
Really. :)

Desperation seems to have swept over our Armed Forces if they're looking to recruit gamers instead of soldiers. That is, unless they're developing their Cyber Army. I'd be more inclined to fight stuffs iff things were all cyber-punky like Ghost in the Shell. Fully-prosthetic disease-free robot sex? Yes please.

Unless they bring in dedicated servers, I have no interest in a tournament that will be determined by whoever gets host.
