Pre-order GR:AW 2 and get a free gun [Update]
If you head over to UK store GAME and hit up the Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2 page, you will notice that they are offering something pretty cool if you pre-order the game from them. In return for the pre-order, on the day of release you will receive a code via email that unlocks a new weapon, the ‘Famas’.
This is a free in-game item which must be downloaded using a code. Internet connection (Xbox Live) is required. Code and download instructions will be emailed once the game is released. Please ensure your account email address is valid. Customers who have already pre-ordered this game will also receive the bonus item.
I can’t confirm whether this is an unlockable weapon in the game or not, but it’s certainly a nice bonus to get you going in front of everyone else. It’s unusual to get a decent deal ahead of the Americans, though it’s a bit of bad luck should you have already pre-ordered the game.
Update: As Studley points out, Chris Bray Lead Multiplayer Designer, GRAW 2, Red Storm Entertainment has pointed out over on 360Fanboy that the weapon is already available in the multiplayer part of the game (hence why you may have used it in the demo ;)). The code simply unlocks the gun for single player use.
The game ships this Friday in the UK, and no doubt people are getting very excited over this. The prequel was pretty good, and I’m sure most of you have had the chance to check out the single and multiplayer demos that are available for the sequel and have based your opinion around them. Expect a full review from Xboxic soon.

Game did the same thing with an exclusive car for Test Drive too. I would’ve thought it would be pretty strange for the gun to be in the game only for Game purchasers though, I’m sure we’ll have other ways to get it (hopefully not having to spend gamerpoints though).
Not convinced I’m going to buy this anyway, Rainbow Six was (and still is) more interesting than the original GRAW, and the two recent demos haven’t convinced me.
Rainbow 6 may not look as pretty as GRAW but it’s hard to top the multiplayer of it.
I JUST pre-ordered from Gamestop this morning and didn’t get anything. Oh well, GAME is European anyway and I’m not
Giv famas gun!
hmmmm famas’ suck its a french weapon there are much better tactical weapons out there, but its nice to get something before the yanks
LOL, I bet some Americans who read that tilte will think they will get an actual gun, not to be rude, but after seeing on Bowling for Columbine and seeing all you have to do is open a chequing account at a bank to get a gun. But regardless, still a good game to get excited about, but not the greatest of pre-order stuff, though I guess your lucky to get anything
You also need a gun permit.You need a clean record and 3-6 months.Guns are great!America is not
really infested with gun wielding idiots.
Some states have different laws though and in
Middle America things can be different.
In New Jersey it’s not so easy to get a gun legally.Its easier to get illegally.
Actually, that’s what I thought when reading the title (I’m American for any newer readers).
Then I spit chewing tobacco into my spitoon, told Maw to get the vittles ready and drove my pick-up truck to England so I could pre-order this and get me a free huntin’ rifle so I can go on a hunting trip with my Vice President.
Please explain to me and all those gun victims out there WHY GUNS ARE GREAT. Why do you consider instruments of MURDER to be GREAT ?
“America is not really infested with gun wielding idiots.”
This reads like a very bad joke after your initial statement about how great guns are.
The weapon itself might not look that great, but put this in solid snake’s hands and he will save the world from nuclear holocaust !
Shut up you tit wank.
I hate stuff like this.
its true…snake can make a man out of a pussy french gun:) and always remember.. no-one can do tight corners like snake..NO ONE! if you havnt made snake do tight corners…play metal gear…now…spin your stick…ohhhh yeah tight corners baby!
this weapon is already in the game. Played with it on multiplayer demo. Weak…
Chances are you do have to unlock it in the main game then, otherwise GAME are just false-advertising.
Update: The gun is unlocked for all in multiplayer. This exclusive just allows it to be used in singleplayer. Confirmed by GRAW dev team:
