MLG details pre-release Halo 4 Tournament for Dallas

Halo 4 may not go on sale worldwide until November 6, 2012, but Major League Gaming has announced the game will form part of its Dallas Fall Championship from November 2-4. MLG has now detailed more on tournament itself, which will take place over Saturday 3 to Sunday 4, and takes the form of a four vs four tournament in competition for $40,000 in prizes.

MLG has announced that the competition will be screened in a dedicated tournament area at the event itself, as well as on the organisation's website from Friday November 2 at 5 p.m. CST. The live stream will be hosted from Friday by Halo Pro Dave “Walshy” Walsh and Halo coach Andy “Bravo” Dudynsky.

Competitor passes are currently available for purchase from MLG for $280, which includes places for four team members and one coach. Those who enter the competition will be going up against teams such as MLG Halo Champions Instinct and Status Quo, Call of Duty team Optic, and players including Ogre 1.
