Author Topic: BattleField: Bad Company 2  (Read 1956 times)

I went out and reserved a copy of BF: BC 2 tonight. It was a pre-release, limited edition thing, and the game's coming out tomorrow. I get a special gun (I think it fires ~680 shots per minute!), and a new game mode. Somewhere, though, I thought you also unlocked things such as a beacon pistol, which you shoot at vehicles to set a designator for RPG's, also secondary vehicle fire (I.E. a small gun on the tank barrel, etc.), and vehicle strength increase, more, and so on and so on forth. But at the store (GameStop), it only said the new game mode and the new gun. Anybody know anything about the unlocks/reserved a copy? Discuss.

Let me pull up the preorder benefits...

EDIT

The Limited Editions comes with:


4 x Vehicle Warfare Unlocks
Improved Vehicle Armor - An Up-Armor package mounted on all vehicle types decreases the effect of both explosive and penetrating warheads, significantly improving vehicle survivability.

Vehicle Alternate Fire - Additional weapon packages mounted for the driver of all armored vehicles, greatly expands the range of targets the vehicle can successfully engage and destroy.

Vehicle Motion Sensor - Upgraded Sensor to locate enemy units in direct proximity to the vehicle.

Tracer Dart Pistol - Launched by compressed air, this magnetic dart attaches to any vehicle surface, allows friendly shoulder launched rockets to lock on to and track moving targets even beyond line of sight.

2 x Classic Battlefield 1943 Weapons
M1A1 Sub machine Gun - Popular with Paratrooper and Commando units in WW2 for its rate of fire and stopping power, the M1A1 is still seen in the hands of paramilitaries today. Reliable but heavy, this classic weapon is still a powerful force in the hands of a Battlefield Veteran.

M1911 Pistol - Adopted in 1911 by the US Army the M1911 saw heavy service in WW1, WW2, Korea and Vietnam. Highly customized M1911 are still favored by Special Operations forces for reliability and the power of its large .45 caliber round

Reserve Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and get instant access to the AKS-74 sub-machine gun for multiplayer action. Firing over 650 rounds a minute, this silent but deadly little beauty will give you maximum pwnage over your friends and enemies.

I think you get these for preordering

loving awesome. Now I really can't wait to get home from school tomorrow; my mom said she'd pick it up. I'm also waiting for the weekend. I'm off computer and such because of bad grades, but my parents said they'd think about letting me have a friend over to play with me. *Looks at WhatevaGuy.

Same, i'm real excited ^_^

Cept i got it on steam, so i'ma get to DL it as soon as i get up.

DICE taking the stupid unbalancing factors from Call of Duty and putting them in Battlefield, yeah..... Its stupid that the Pre-order people get Over powered stuff while the normal players get raped by it.

Yeah, just whine and complain about things you have no idea about.

All of those perks are simply "day 1 advantages", and only temporary.  See, those perks are earnable by all of the people who didn't preorder, so eventually the playing field will be level.

Beta was OK but i'm not gonna buy it right away. especially for 60 bucks

50 bucks for PC.

Why would you ever get a shooter for a console?  Stupid thumbsticks ruin everything.

Damnit,damnitdamnit.

Waiting all day to DL and now won't let me play because i don't have a valid cd key :/

Anyone had some problem?

Clearly you can't see that its not a one day perk, its a permanent thing we keep. Though if its earn-able by everyone then whatever I don't mind it as much.

The band that sang the song in the commercial is my favorite band

Clearly you can't read posts correctly, because I obviously meant "day 1 advantages" as "by day 2 everyone else will have them".  I never said they would go away after day 2.  All of those perks are earnable by everyone else.

Yes, Queens of the Stone Age are awesome.
