EA's poured millions into the development of Battlefield 3 (http://joystiq.com/game/battlefield-3); what's another $1.6 million handed out to its players?
In conjunction with the competition specialists at Virgin Gaming, EA is holding a "Battlefield 3 Worldwide Conquest Tournament" in early 2012.
Details are slim at the moment, but the competition will take place online, leading up to a live finale and the dispensation of said $1.6 million. For an idea of the scale of this, Virgin's Killzone 3 challenge (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/06/22/virgin-gaming-holding-40k-killzone-3-tournament/) had $40,000 at stake, and that was backed by shaving cream money. Thick, foamy shaving cream money.
