This seems like it will work a lot better than Advent Rising's contest. And I do have a $15 EA Store card. But, I don't think I will. Nice idea though, EA.

The winners will no doubt be the ones who live closest to the EA servers since the "patch" has caused horrible lag problems for most people. Maybe they can play on the LAN Oh... wait... no system link support. Good work EA....... pinheads.

Thats insane. Why even bother though, really in my opinion you just have 0 chance of winning

[mrmp3]

I heard ranking system is kinda messed up too from what I've seen and heard, but no real detail though.

[mattgame]

That money is mine!!

[DOG]

that is a lot of money. I have never tried the game. but it must be good.

1/4 of a Million!!, glad Ea has that kinda cash to just hand out. They should rather put that into making some better games.

Guess how many 360's you could buy with $250,000

[mattgame]

I'm almost there, I'm almost there!!

[Ninjermy]

What a ridiculous contest idea. Seriously I would have been more happy if they divided the money into 250 amounts of 1,000$ and gave those out randomly to BF2 players or to like the top 250 of random weeks or somethin. Not some dumb 250k lump bulls****
