If you play Silver matches, you will get ~30k for completion. If you play Gold and successfully complete the mission, you will gain about 70k in half an hour. You will need really good team players and balanced classes to succeed though. IIRC, even if you fail in Gold but gone pass Round 5, you will get at least 30k, which is still better than Bronze. I've almost no problems with EA servers.
