I was watching TV last night and saw this commercial for a battlefield 2:Modern Combat tournament. Get this top prize for the tournament is $250,000. I got to thinking and this really pissed me off. I might have this wrong but once you buy the game for xbox or PS2 you just play it online via xbox live or whatever the PS2 has. My guess is EA doesnt get any money from either of those services so once you buy it you can play it online.

So the part that pisses me off is why the people that buy it on PC get fucked. We are the ones that have been BF1942, BFV, BF2 not to mention every single expansion pack. Not to mention they stick it up our ass a little harder by charging us to  rent servers. Then they repay the community by handing out over $300,000 in total prizes to the console players. I'd like to see that money going to the players that made the battlefield series what it is. Cause there the ones paying for it.

Heres the link below .... let me know what you guys think

Likely they do it to push the BF franchise into a new market because it's hard to get it.

Plus, your cockeyed idea that this 300,000 for the tournament is unfair is total BS. Have you forgotten that all of those years of tournaments, sponsorships, prizes and awards for each of the BF series in the past? Total those up and you're probably going to make that 300,000 look like monopoly money.

Yea but has EA ever handed out 320,000 in one tournament?

Wait, what your saying is that EA sucks because they don't have enough tournaments for PC users of BF2. That is one sad, sad reason to hate them. Does it really matter if they have tournaments? Why do people always have something against EA. I don't get it.
