I'm not a huge gamer myself, but recently heard about a competition being put on by XBox called "Battle of the Branches". Service members (and likely veterans as well) can compete for a national title of best 'Call of Duty' gamer and win some pretty significant prizes. Interested to know who might partake.

Honestly, I love tournaments. I'm not a great player but I do like playing. If the tournament were free for me, no entry fee, I would participate.

This is especially true if I got what this dude got in 2012:

I think it's fake but I don't doubt it either!

No, but I will bet on my 9&12 year old grandsons to whip some butts.

I tried playing Call of Duty, but after five days of never getting past the first challenge of the first level, I decided there are some dogs too old to learn new tricks!

Would you compete in a national 'Call of Duty' tournament for the military?

I put maybe, but not because of the prizes. Honestly I'd love to do it but I doubt I'd get far!

I'd get smoked out on the first round, but it would be fun to see which branch might win.

I won't compete myself, as I'm not a fan of the arcade-style FPS, but I'll have to forward this to a friend who I'm fairly certain is the best Halo player in the military, so I'm sure he has a shot at CoD! Thanks for the post.

Video games are just a relaxing downtime thing for me to relieve stress. I would get destroyed in one of those competitions, now my 17 yr old would do it in a heart beat.

This was another good laugh here, Chip. I still can't believe 1M+ folks WATCH other people play video games.
