EA Announces a Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Limited Edition will be released along with the regular edition of DICE's upcoming military shooter sequel. The Limited Edition will have six customizations available from the start that must be unlocked in the standard edition (depicted in these screenshots). They are upfront in saying this will "give players a day one advantage in multiplayer matches," but the weird part is that this does not come at a premium; they say the Limited Edition will be the same price as the regular edition.

Four vehicle warfare unlocks will immediately enhance the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 best-in-class online vehicle warfare experience, delivering extra firepower, radar, and armor for the vehicles. Additionally, the tracer dart attaches to any enemy vehicle and allows RPG-toting teammates to track, lock on, and destroy their adversary. Seasoned veterans of Battlefield 1943™ will be able to immediately re-acquaint themselves with two classic and highly powerful weapons, the M1A1 submachine gun and the M1911 pistol.
