Halo Championship First Prize Set at Staggering $50,000

Halo Championship First Prize Set at Staggering $50,000

Remember all those times your mom and dad tried to convince you that playing video games was a complete waste of time? Now we have fifty thousand little reasons that may just prove them wrong!

The prize pot has recently been revealed for the upcoming Halo Championship Series, which ups the prizes to a grand total of $100,000 for all eighth place winners and above. Here is how the increments break down for each (via the folks at GameSpot):

  • First place: $50,000
  • Second place: $20,000
  • Third place: $10,000
  • Fourth place: &8,000
  • Fifth/sixth place: $4,000 each
  • Seventh/eighth place: $2,000 each

343’s Franchise Media Director Che Chou also posted an update to the game’s official blog , detailing how the rules shake out for popular modes like CTF, Oddball and more:

  • For Capture the Flag matches and Assault matches, the exact score will be taken from the time of the interruption. For example, if a team is leading a match 4-0 and there is a match interruption, the match will be replayed with an aggregate or “understood” score of 4-0, rather than a full 0-0 restart.
  • For Team Slayer matches, the exact score will be taken from the time of the interruption. For example, if a team is leading a match 35-30 and there is a match interruption, the match will be replayed with an aggregate or “understood” score of 35-30, rather than a full 0-0 restart.
  • For Oddball and King of the Hill, the match will be replayed with both team scores rounding down to the nearest 5 point increment. For example, if a team is leading 118-63 at the time of interruption, the match will be replayed with an aggregate or “understood” score of 115-60.
