[Tagred]

Pick up your weapons, gather your strength and prepare yourself for ultimate combat in the first ever European Halo® 2 Championship.

Yes, today is the day to answer the call to save Earth and all of humankind in the tournament we've all been waiting for. Gamers have two weeks from today, 7th March, to register in what is the first stage of the Halo 2 Championship, hosted on the Xbox® LiveTM service. Registration closes on 20th March when eight winners will battle to win the title of UK Halo 2 Champion and, ultimately, the chance to take part in the Xbox Live Halo 2 Worldwide Finals in April.

What is the prize?
The top eight players from UK will fight it out in the second stage of the tournament which takes place on Saturday 9th April, 2005. But there can be only one national winner. The winner will not only take the title of UK Halo 2 Champion but they also win a state of the art Samsung digital camcorder, an exclusive, special edition half-sized Master Chief statue plus a Halo 2 Championship Plaque and commemorative Halo 2 T Shirt all worth nearly £1000. Of the 14 European countries taking part, one Halo 2 Champion from each nation then has the opportunity to go through to the Worldwide Finals which will be announced later in March.
