Join Sniper School with Halo 3 and Play & Win [update]

by Dustin Burg { Jan 8th 2008 at 12:15PM }

Update: Oops, we sort of mis-read the prize payouts. Each day you play you get an entry into the giveaway, but no daily prizes will be awarded. Instead, there will only be one drawing that will award 1,251 winners. Our odds and excitement just decreased.

In an effort to give back to the Halo 3 community and ~~recruit soldiers~~ promote Army awareness, the US Army and Microsoft have partnered to give out all kinds of goods in their latest Halo 3 Sniper School Play & Win giveaway (which looks to be open to US residents only). Starting right now, you can make your way to Xbox.com and register your gamertag to prepare for the week long Sniper School fun which kicks off on January 19th and runs through 25th. Every day you play Halo 3 matchmaking, you'll be entered into the drawing where they'll be giving away one limited edition Halo 3 Giclee Print print as well as 1,250 800 Microsoft point redemption codes totaling ~~over 8,750~~ exactly 1,251 individual winners. But remember, you have to register first and play Halo 3 daily from the 19th through the 25th to win.

While you're waiting for the Play & Win party to begin, may be entice you with a free Sniper School theme and gamer picture set download? Yeah, we thought so.

Oh bummer, I thought this was going to be a Halo 3 sniper school, not an even sponsored by the U.S. Army Sniper School.

I could really use some Halo 3 Sniper instruction, gawd I suck with that thing.

Finally! Ive been thinking about joining the Army. This Sniper School makes me want join right away!

I might send in a few envelopes, but the odds on this one will be a lot longer than the other sweeps due to Halo 3 popularity. All I can hope for is 98% of the players don't register...

And if all other Halo players in the world appear to go in a same bus, and the bus will appear to have crashed who will get the prizes?

PS: Chuck Norris could snipe you bitches with a shotgun :-)

Lol, Xenocidic - they're not even being THAT covert about it anymore it's just a weary old Uncle Sam, "Er.... Join the Army please... it's a lot like Halo... I guess?"

Bloody competition is only open to U.S Residents as usual! You'd think if the U.S wanted snipers it'd recruit the British!

M. Dizzy @ Jan 8th 2008 1:08PM

Ummm...1 grand prize winner plus 1250 800 MS point winners equals over 8750 winners?

Must be that new math I've been hearing about.

M. Dizzy @ Jan 8th 2008 1:09PM

Ahhh...I've got it...DAILY drawing.

Stan @ Jan 8th 2008 1:35PM

I like the picture pack but holy hell is that theme ugly.

MarMar @ Jan 8th 2008 2:21PM

well bush is saying on tv right now that units are withdrawing from iraq and not being replaced, so i gues the army wont be needing my services. thanks bush have fun with your texas tea.

LiquidPlague @ Jan 8th 2008 2:29PM

That theme would make more sense if they were promoting Call of Duty 4.

Boff @ Jan 9th 2008 5:14AM

Agreed. Halo's not exactly a war simulation is it??
(Not that I've fought in any wars mind you.)

COD4 would be the obvious choice. Maybe they're all Halo fanboys in the military top brass!

Sniper School? Every time I read that it reminds of that mental peado twat and young boy going on a sniping spree in America. Was it the Beltway Sniper?
