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. Check it out:
