Major League Gaming is going to hold a pre-release Halo 4 tournament at its Fall Championship, coming up soon in Dallas, Texas. Halo 4 doesn't arrive until November 6, but if you're in the Dallas area you can challenge other players in a series of 4v4 matches, all for a prize pool of over $40,000.

The tournament will start up on November 2 at 5pm central time, and then be streamed live on MLG's website all weekend long, leading up to the final match on Sunday evening at 4:45. All the while, commentators Dave "Walshy" Walsh and Andy "Bravo" Dudynsky will provide insight on the game and its players, and even if you're at home you'll get to see a whole lot of Halo 4 multiplayer. It's just the thing to have your Battle Rifle, Magnum and Needler all primed and ready when the game comes out the following Tuesday.
