Considering the only new guns you can get are if you buy the Gold Edition, it's no different than limited edition games. They don't even make a difference, if you're even slightly skilled you can make it to rank 25 and get them for free #-o Well, you can also get the guns individually off the XBL marketplace, but that's beside the point. My point is that charging people to unlock high-level equipment in any game is a bad policy. EA has been doing this for a very long time and it's starting to piss me off. They did this in Battlefield 2, 2142, Tiger Woods, Prostreet, etc etc. It's EA, if there's a way to squeeze their customers for more money, you can be sure EA will do it.
