Play a multiplayer game

Happened before with the Hammerburst, and also the Banjo demo - bumped the price up so people weren't getting freebies they shouldnt, or early.#

Quote:

A Microsoft representative has informed Joystiq that the public availability of the Gears 2 Gold Lancer was made in error. Yesterday, we reported that the exclusive Collector's Edition weapon had appeared on the Xbox.com Marketplace for all to wield.

According to the rep, everyone who obtained the Gold Lancer from the Xbox.com Marketplace will have the item removed from their games in an upcoming fix, in order to keep the weapon exclusive to Gears 2 Collector's Edition consumers. "We're currently attempting a fix that will expire all codes that were unexpectedly released in error through Xbox LIVE Marketplace," the representative noted.

How Microsoft will remove (or possibly disable) the art asset file and differentiate between legitimate owners and those who grabbed the guns as they fell off the back of the truck is unclear. A request for clarification on how or when the fix would be implemented has gone unanswered, but we'll update you as soon as we know more.

Bummer hope we'd get to keep it

I've played multiplayer, I didn't have a gold Lancer :/.

Awww. Annoyingly I own the collector's edition too but it was pre-owned, none of the codes had been used except the golden lancer one :/

So you got the flashback map pack? That's surprising, it was the first time I did when I got Gears 2

leowyatt · 29-01-2009, 15:01

I still haven't used that code

Yup

Quite handy as I bought the CE off work for £26.99 then sold my normal copy of Gears 2 with the map pack code for £30

Many people play GOW2 online? I bought my Xbox 360 for mainly online play. I love GTA4, but there never seems to be anyone playing it online. :/

However I'm going to get GOW 2 soon, it looks impressive.
