Halo 3 Tourney - Confusion Reigns
Okay, this one's messy. Last week, we posted a note that said that a tournament that was originally scheduled to be hosted by Xbox.com and the US Army had been cancelled, and that you should ignore all the press releases that were appearing around the net on other gaming sites, because they were being posted in error. We said this because we had gone to Xbox.com and asked for clarification - and were told that it WAS a mistake, and the tournament HAD been cancelled. Today, we got word from Bungie that it WASN'T a mistake; that a press release HAD gone out, officially (though not to us, and surprisingly, not to them), and that everything was explained in this press release. (Of course, they didn't have a copy to share with us, because nobody sent them one. They just know it's actually on because they've been tasked with the playlist additions the tourney will require.) So: the tournament described in the news posts at TeamXbox, Xbox360Fanboy, Joystiq, and dozens of other sites around the web IS happening, more details will be forthcoming, and we'll stop doing independent research when we're confused, because obviously that makes it worse. (It would be really, really, REALLY nice if someone involved in handling press releases for Halo-related stuff actually included us on the list of sites RECEIVING those releases... but I'm pretty sure that's a pie-in-the-sky dream. I mean, we're just a Halo fansite, nobody listens to us.) (Louis Wu 18:18:48 UTC)
