Yeah, this is true. Once i got 25 kills with the Garand, it still didn't unlock. Now after I had 25 kills with all the SPECACT guns, it finally did.

It sucks that they are essentially forcing you to buy the DLC to get the all bronze insignia. I wonder now that if they plan to add more guns in the future that it will screw everyone over who doesn't have it again.

@Chantufan & SSD: EA bought DICE in '04-'06, most likely because of the success of Battlefield 2. So EA is most likely controlling the price of DLC and when to release it, but I could be wrong.

They also probably can't get out of EA's control, unless they make a bad game (very unlikely, since Battlefield is the best series ever) and get closed down because of poor sales. At least thats what EA was doing with some decent studios a few years back.
