One Halo 4 champion to win $200,000

4.5
Microsoft and Virgin Gaming have announced the Halo 4 Global Championship, which will see one Spartan claim a grand prize of $200,000. The tournament officially begins on July 5 at the Rooster Teeth Expo and opens to Xbox Live on July 15. Another live event will take place at Gamescom in Germany from August 21 to 25.

There will be five weeks of free-for-all competition on Xbox Live, which will require players to complete at least 20 games a week on specific playlists. 6 finalists from each live event and 20 from the Xbox Live competition will then compete on Microsoft's home turf in Seattle, with the winner pocketing a cool 200 grand. Another $100,000 will be distributed among the remaining 7 finalists, with 2nd place receiving the lion's share at $75,000. All participants will be eligible for randomly drawn prizes, including Xbox 360 games and Avatar items.

This is a lot of money to be handed out for a video game contest. I guess this shows the great state that the gaming industry is in at the moment

RaheemSterling_31 But CoD championships are usually in teams of 4.

So the winnings will be shared out.


Teams of 6, and the winnins obiously get shared. Wouldn't you share it? :D


No it's teams of 4. This comes from COD: Elite on how to qualify for the championship.

"You must play as a team of 4
All 4 members of your team must be registered on Call of Duty ELITE."

I wish I was good enough to compete in these things :P

daw Woah , that's a lot of money. But nothing compared to CoD championships.


I think COD has a bigger amount of players than Halo does so they can throw many around like that. Still though, $1,000,000 from COD and $200,000 from Halo seems a little ridiculous for winning a gaming championship ._.
