Game On! Halo 3

We’ll admit it – we’ve been getting trounced in the Game On! challenge lately. And we’re very much of the mind that if you’re losing it’s time to change the rules, so we’re going to make this one about what a couple of us here reckon is the best game ever (and what we can kick your ass at): the amazing Halo 3. With Reach on the way, what better way for us all to get in the mood for the next chapter of the Halo saga?

So here’s the deal: on Tuesday 10 August at 8PM, we’re going to form a 360 team of up to four (comprised of Dave, Sam, Dan and Pete) and you’re going to do the same. We’re quite happy to have multiple teams all battling it out for glory – you’re all going to die anyway right?

Then we’re going to face off in an action-packed best-of-five series of custom games with a mixture of Slayer and Objective-based games depending on what people prefer – and it’s going to be amazing fun.

Your incentive to come along, as well as fun with us, is a bevy of fantastic prizes that we’ll be giving to the winning team. And if you do beat us, there’s a good chance you hear a couple of us crying online as our pride evaporates in a haze of plasma fire.

So come and join us! These have all been great fun, and it’s a chance for you to play with us – come and show the love. We promise to kill you quickly.

If you want to end up getting politely Halo tea-bagged by your favorite magazine team (we hope we’re your favorite magazine team. Why wouldn’t we be? Is it the tea-bagging?) here’s what you do:

1) Send us a friend request to ThreeSixtyMag.

2) We’ll accept and we’ll be friends for life – short as that may be for you.

3) Join us via our profile page where it says ‘Join game in session’ and we’ll be waiting in a lobby just for you guys at 8pm on Tuesday 10 August.

4) Face off against us in the best-of-five series of Halo 3 matches and hope to God your reflexes are up to it.

5) Prizes will be given to the team that beat us the most times.

6) Enjoy the sweet taste of our salty tears if we lose, and whatever happens we reserve the right to call ourselves ‘Team Spartan’.
