EA and Virgin Gaming announce $1.6 million Battlefield 3 competition
Well, it’s time for prove her wrong, once and for all! To celebrate the October launch of DICE’s Battlefield 3, EA and Virgin Gaming have announced what they’re calling the “largest console videogame competition in gaming history.” Players from around the world are going to be able to compete in an online tournament in Battlefield 3, blowing apart other gamers to reach the grand finale, in which they’ll be able to take a shot at their share of the $1.6 million prize at a live event. See? And she said gaming would never make you a millionaire – you’ll show her yet!
“We’re always looking to raise the bar for our members, to give them truly epic gaming experiences they won’t find anywhere else and Battlefield 3 hits the mark,” said Zachary Zeldin, Co-Founder of Virgin Gaming. “This partnership with EA and DICE is exactly the kind of relationship it takes to deliver on that goal, and we can’t be more excited to be working with them to host the greatest competitive gaming event I’ve ever seen.”
We’re not too sure that it’s the largest console videogame competition in history, but it’s still pretty big, and pretty damn cool. You can check out the official website for more information and to get further prepared for the start of the competition – that $1.6 million isn’t going to win itself.

Poetic--Skype-- Lmao EA copys everything from activision, e.g. Call of Duty= Battlefield, Now codxp and there doing a tourney live event.
Straight up they better start making there own **** because all of there stuff sucks
Everybody please take note: this is what the average call of duty fanboy sounds like. That is all.
You'd swear Activision never stole ANY ideas from other shooters. Because obviously Call of Duty was the first shooter ever, invented everything and constantly pushes the bar with brand new never before seen gaming content yearly!
Sadly, only the first sentence is true..

Wow. Learn your history Battlefield was before CoD, and Counter Strike was before either of them. If you wanna say who stole shyt from who, CoD stole Bomb or Search and Destroy and Team Deathmatch from Counterstrike. Battlefield came up with everything on its own, Rush,Conquest, Destruction in the enviornment. I'm not trying to give you my life story but your stupidity really set me off.
