Story

SIR! We got a problem! A nervous Private runs into HQ waving about what seems to be a piece of paper within his hand, he slams it down on the sturdy wooden desk while gasping for breath as the General stares intently at the new recruit. Silence ensues before it is broken by the General stating one simple word "Speak". The Private nods and stands at ease as he begins to retell the tale.

"During a patrol, we spotted a light camp off in the distance but you see, before we could get anywhere near it, we spotted a messenger. We decided it was worth checking out since messengers are few and far between, at least visible ones anyway. It did cross our minds that this could be some sort of bait but yes, we followed and intercepted just before the messenger got to the camp, we found him to be carrying a message for the Nationals, an encrypted one at that but it seemed two National camps communicating between each other. I'm guessing they are planning something, sir." The Private takes a deep breath as he gains a grumble of discontent as a reply, the General looks perplexed at the document, twirling his mustache as his mind wanders, suddenly he stands, slamming the note down along with the palm of his hand onto the desk. A low growl of frustration is heard as he glances about the able bodies in the room.

"Private, I'm all good for pranks but this is by far the worst I have seen! Do you expect me to believe that this is real? It doesn't have any letters on it, let alone words! You are forgiven as I suspect another in the ranks has put you up to this but a word of warning...any more of this horse play and I'll have you gone!" The Private stares in astonishment for it was true, everything he said was true, however Major Benson whom had been previously speaking to the General cleared his throat for attention.

"Sir, I don't think this is a prank, this is in fact something the Nationals would do, look on the back, they have foolishly left clues for the other camp to follow in order to decipher the message. If I saw it correctly, it states that the letters needed to understand the note are dotted about the Battlefield. Sir, with your permission, I wish to send out some Heroes in order to find these letters and figure out this message, it maybe a wild goose chase or it may end as a cruel joke but we must take action on it if it means we know their next move" The General ponders the notion after the moving speech of the Major before nodding with a reply

"Alright, do it but I'll have this Private's head if it ends up as nothing but cods wallop! Dismissed" The Major and Private salute their commanding officer before gaining a return salute, they immediately fled the camp to seek troops for the mission ahead.

We have a (EVGA) Nvidia 9800 GTX+ graphics card to give away to one lucky Heroes player in Europe!

So what do you have to do in order to win this most awesome prize?

We have devised a Scavenger Hunt!

Dotted about several websites are letters that make up a phrase related to Battlefield Heroes.

The contest will last for 7 days and every day we will provide a new clue, right here.

On day 7 we will not send you out any more; instead we will give you the last word to complete the phrase, jumbled up, of course

It is then up to you to seek out all the letters and arrange them into phrase we are after.

Follow our BFHeroes Twitter to be alerted to the new clues that we will give each day.

Once you believe that you have figured out the winning phrase keep it safe.

On the last day of the event, we will UNLOCK THIS THREAD for you to post what you have found.

PLEASE NOTE:
Be advised that if you post more than once in this thread, only your FIRST response will count.

Perfect first post. Haha.

[BesiX]

I've got a hunch what to look for, but I just can't use all the letters

[CrySpy]

I tried to solve this, but the lack of dedication stopped me. Maybe if I had my old graphics cardc I woulda been more dedicated. Anyways, I am excited to see the sooulution and who the winner will be.

Good luck mates!

[BesiX]

I just hope that the maker of this contest didn't miscalculated the letters, since they already had troubles with their word counter... The letters I have left after I put some words together just don't make any sense to me really.

If I'm right about this, I should get the prize really, since I already addressed 2 issues about this contest already (+ this one if it's true).

"(EVGA) Nvidia 9800 GTX+ physx card"

Just taking a guess ...

[Cis1986]

Battlefield Heroes is best experienced with a Nvidia graphics card.

[FiLoZoF_CRO]

goodman, could you like , give us a hint on how the sentence should sound or what its related to?

[BesiX]

It's related to BFH, but I still think the contest maker screwed up.

ugh, you have too much letters dude (over 52)

[Siderberry]

no thats right, it has 57 letters

[BesiX]

Count your letters again, it's 57 letters in total. Exactly the same as the posted sentence.

[v0j4]

battlefield heroes is best experienced with nvidia graphics cards.

slight variation...

[BesiX]

I bet it won't be "cardS", since we can only win ONE

[FiLoZoF_CRO]

eerm no!
in the contest there were 53 words and in the last clue there were 11
so its 64!

probably
but "Battlefield Heroes is best experienced with a Nvidia graphics card" is grammatically incorrect, lol
'a' should be 'an'.. but then the number of letters exceeds 57...

[Dr. Onningholm]

This is the correct answer:

I WISH EXPERIENCED BATTLE VETERANS RECEIVE A HIP GIFT DRUID CODICILS.
