Get your DMR's and BR's at the ready Spartans! 343 Industries have again joined forces with Virgin Gaming for another Halo 4 Global Championship, offering life changing prizes of half a million dollars rewarded to the winners of the tournament.

 The competition is set in the form of a series of various live events online over the next few months. The top eight Spartans will walk away with big cash prizes while the overall winner takes an impressive $200,000 for their hard work and dedication.

 The first tournament kicks off this weekend at the Rooster Teeth Expo in Austin, Texas, with the European live tournaments set for Gamescom, Germany this August. If you can't make it to such event's fear not, you can compete over Xbox Live from the 15th July through to August. 343i is also promising "special prizes" on a weekly basis to those that participate in the tournament for free over Xbox Live.


 Six finalists from these live events and twenty from the XBL online events will be flown all expenses paid to the finals which will be held in Seattle, Washington, where they'll get to battle it out for the title of 'Ultimate Spartan'.

 Sounds impressive, right?
