    Pre-order from shop not internet...

    There's the one and only Gamestop which I've seen in Barcelona. I asked when the game was going to be out and it was the 26th. They told me that it was better pre-ordering because it gets big when a game like this one is out. So my question is, can I pre-order it from there and still get that stupid weapon unlock just like if I had got it online? So, will the weapon unlock code come with it? Cause in a way it's easier to me to pre-order it there than on the internet.

    As far as i know, i think you have to get it online from a participating shop to get the code. Otherwise it just remains locked.

    Depends how big you are on sniping, as the unlock is the QBU-88 rifle.

    You never know, once the games out an easier way of unlocking it will surely surface.

      It's that I don't know if to pre-order it or not and I thought that maybe you could get the weapon pre-ordering from a shop directly instead of pre-ordering online.

        Im not sure about which shops got the deal where you are, you might wanna check around some of the bigger online stores, as they should tell you if they have the code.

        Play.com seems to be the only one here in the UK that got the pre-order code deal, and they make a point of telling you they have it. So im assuming the same should go for whatever online shop you use.

        If not, just got for whatever your more comfortable with. I'm afraid i cant offer any other advice than that.

          AFAIK, you can't get the code if you're not in the UK/US... The website has only UK/US retailers listed so... :cry:

            :cry: well that sucks don't it? I'll have to ask my grandpa to get it for me but I won't cause I'm not so desperate, I don't mind because EA is just buying us off for a stupid weapon which will be good probably

              Wow, UK/US only, that so harsh!

              Talk about alienate the rest of the world.

                I don't know where you guys have gotten this "US/UK only for the sniper unlock" info... But it can't be right...

                Since the gamestore where i pre-ordered my game already has the sniper unlock code and they are sending with the game, to who ever pre-ordered the game.

                I don't know why the BC page shows only UK/US retailers, but as i already said, it isn't that only UK/US people get's the sniper code...

                  Who you ordered with Stonecold?

                  Its weird the site only lists the US and UK, the Bad company website seems to be really badly managed. I mean, are we gonna hear about the veteran unlock before the game comes out?

                    I ordered the game from this Finnish gamestore, it's called DiscShop...

                    When i called to that place(like a month ago), they said that they are clearing it up with their EA contact. After a while the message appeared to their site saying basically that "we got the code, everyone who pre-ordered the game will get the sniper rifle"... And they even have pic of it in the site...



                    And i think we just have to keep our eyes open when the vet program comes alive..

                      I think I'll try and pre-order from a UK retailer and I'll probably get the games sent cause Amazon is on the list and sometimes I get stuff from the UK Amazon. So I might try that one.

                        i think the only UK retailer doing the Pre-order codes is Play.com

                              Do you think its worth shot of contacting EA support because i pre-ordered mine here in Australia through a store, but i havent been given an unlock code whatsoever.
