So apparently the wold is making a big deal over this... I really don't see why.

If history serves to repeat itself in this case, the exclusive unlocks are available to everyone, but will be unlocked day one for those who get this pack. It happened in both BC1 and BC2.

The Gold Edition weapons were made available at Rank 25, and the "Find All Five" guns were bonuses for those who jumped on early with DICE's marketing for BC1; every weapon except the F2000 was made available about six months later, with the F2000 limited to BF Veterans.

And in BC2, people got the M1911, the Tracer Dart Gun, the Thompson, the Alt Weapons Package, and the Electronic Warfare Package, and veterans got all their gadgets and an M1 Garand, and there was even the AKS-74u for a pre-order bonus. These were all in the game, but made available day one for those who got these bonuses fr pre-ordering, and got the Limited Edition.

That most likely means that the DAO-12, the Type 88, the flash suppressor, and the flechette rounds are all in the game, but will have to be unlocked by everyone who doesn't get this pack. I just don't get why people are making stupid complaints about this. DICE wouldn't have this pack if there wasn't plans for everyone to be able to get the stuff included.
