IGN: Let's say I go out and buy the standard edition for $59.99 and my buddy goes out and buys the Gold Edition for ten dollars more. What am I going to have to do to be able to play the same game with the same content as my buddy?
Karl-Magnus Troedsson: This is what the big confusion is about. I think we clarified what the other five weapons were. You have to do the marketing programs that we're going to announce further ahead. The last five Gold Edition weapons, this is where the confusion is and this is what we want to clarify. We are not charging for any guns that are out there. We read the forums, we read all of the articles and listening to the storm that is out there, we're not going to charge for any of those guns.
IGN: So there's no charge for the Gold Edition guns?
Karl-Magnus: No, there's no charge for any of the guns in the game. All of the guns in the game can be achieved without purchasing them. All guns are available to everyone. However, we want to give some exclusivity to those who buy the Gold Edition. They will get the five Gold Edition weapons from Day One when they put the disc in. People that don't buy the Gold Edition can get the five additional weapons by getting to the final rank in the game. There will be a golden, shiny five-weapon unlock when they hit level 25 in the game.
We've just learned the exact details behind the marketing campaigns that will be tied to the five weapons that are in neither the Gold nor Standard Edition of Bad Company. They are as follows:
Demo Unlock - Play either the Xbox 360 or PS3 demo and receive a weapon unlock.
Veteran Unlock - Register with the Battlefield Veterans program and receive a weapon unlock.
Website Unlock - A weapon is unlocked when you first check your stats on the Battlefield: Bad Company website.
Pre-order Unlock - A new sniper rifle is unlocked when you pre-order the game.
Newsletter Unlock - Sign up for the Battlefield newsletter and you'll get a new weapon.
