For our final contest we pay homage to the Battlefield series, with Battlefield Trivia. It's time to dust off those thinking caps, and get some lemons.

To enter, all you have to do is post your answers to the questions. The first person to get them all right wins. The prize for this one is a copy of Battlefield 2142, courtesy of Electronic Arts, and a Fang Gamepad, courtesy of Ideazon Precision Gaming Tools.



1) In the 1942 map Bocage, what appeared on the mini map yet was missing in the game?

2) DICE History: The silents was a demo group for what type of game?

3) DICE hired which full conversion mods (almost) entire staff?

4) Electronic Arts hired BF Pirates mod tool creator _________ ____________ to act as BF2 Mod Coordinator.

5) Trauma Head (team behind Desert Combat mod) had attempted/prototyped which feature in the BF2 Black Hawks?

6) DICE changed the flags in 1942 to please what government?

7) Battlefield Bad Company will be powered by which engine?

8) In 1942, what sound did your character make after free falling for a very long time?

9) Who was the first Supreme Commander for Battlefield 2142?

10) What is the average airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?




There's no deadline for this one, so good luck to everyone.

Congratulations to Kellogs for winning the trivia contest. He will be receiving a copy of Battlefield 2142 courtesy of Electronic Arts, and a Fang Gamepad courtesy of Ideazon Precision Gaming Tools. To everyone else, thanks for entering and good luck in the future, as Battlefield Nation will host more contests. Also, some of you guys need to go back and watch Monty Python and the Holy Grail, you guys would never get past the bridge keeper.
