Halo 3 tournament sponsored by US Army..

[SymphonicX]

Does anyone else find that a little disturbing? First the MOD advertises using an xbox 360 controller...now full blown military involvement in Halo3...? Hmm...I dunno...this just smacks of "recruitment drive".....I dunno...mentioned this on Bungie forums....they weren't too bothered about it...but something inside me pangs when I think of this...

what do you think?

theres a lot of teenagers in the world anti war and anti bush administration nowadays, so im not surprised in one bit the military would use a tactic like this to "get down wiv tha' kidz"

Hmm...I dunno...this just smacks of "recruitment drive".....

I would have to agree. Kind of messed up...

[SymphonicX]

See all I got on the b.net forums was "people can think for themselves" and "samsung sponsored the European tournament, but I dont own a samsung TV"....I tried to explain that wasn't my point, that it was sending out a bad message, but then some idiot came back with how I must hate all Americans and think I'm some sort of moral God because I am somehow dissatisfied with my own life - t'was at that point which I kinda denounced his points and moved on...if that's the way people want to respond, then screw them, I aint gonna argue with kids.

Argh.

The US military want to teach kids how to teabag terrorists. :D

Ladies and Gentlemen

It is with great pleasure that I present the award for victor of the Bungie and US Army sponsored Halo 3 tournament to Psycho_666 - aka Julian Merryweather - first prize: a one way ticket to Iraq! Congratulations and we hope you enjoy your prize. Please collect your body armour from the room on the left and remember that in reality, trip mines don't make loud beeping noises and will most probably take your legs off!

Round of applause for Julian everyone!!

Hellsing - bravo for "crotch-knock". :lol:

[Danny]

"crotch-knockkin' ", thats mans teabaggin' boy. :lol:

[MinionZombie]

Although crotch knocking kinda sounds like two dudes jiggling their three-pieces together, knocking them together like wine glasses or something ... *clink clink* ... toast proposals a-go-go...

Teabaggin' sounds way more giver/taker.

"I got hit in the balls ... by a guy name cock-knocker!" :D

[ProfessorChaos]

it'd be hilarious if the final game of the tournament was televised and the dude who won started tea-bagging/crotch-knocking/mushroom-stamping the loser on live tv.

btw, i've got friends playing in this tournament, but i've decided not to even bother, cuz there's guys who been straight blastin on this game for 12+ hours a day since september, and i seriously doubt i'd stand a chance.
