38: Prize purse set at £1,000
The prize purse for the Modern Warfare 2 tournament has finally been announced and is set at a disappointing £1,000. With so many speculations over the weekend and prize purses ranging from anything between £5,000 and nothing, Multiplay have finally announced the prize purse for the Modern Warfare 2 tournament and set the amount at a mere £1,000. Although already expected to be this low by nearly all participants, it is still a ridiculously low amount for what was announced as "the most anticipated game of the year" and " the first ever Modern Warfare 2 tournament in the world with support from Activision.
How those £1,000 will be divided remains to be seen but it has also been confirmed that due to contractual obligations Multiplay are unable to offer a prize purse for a Call of Duty 4 competition to be run alongside the Modern Warfare tournament.

By contract set by activision, they screwed over the COD4 community, to be able to host a MW2 tournament. Nice move!
