$10,000 Heavy Gear 2 Tournament Last Call

$10,000 Heavy Gear 2 Tournament Last Call is today’s promo hook. Publishers are throwing prizes, rebates and giveaways at players, because apparently just selling the game is not enough anymore.

The useful part: The event will be managed by Case’s Ladder and all matches will be played on Mplayer.com. The event will be a single-elimination, bracket style tournament, where the four finalists from the online competition will be flown, all expenses paid, to beautiful southern California. Once there, the finalists will compete at Activision’s offices in Santa Monica for the big cash prizes and have a chance to meet the Heavy Gear development team. Listed pricing shows $10, so this is not vapor sitting on a press sheet.
