This isn't the actual golden Lancer. Someone at Epic Games Forums posted a picture of what he think it would look like. Epic hasn't released the official screenshots yet, but I hope they do use this design.

Gold LANCER Screenshot
"This isn't the actual golden Lancer. Someone at Epic Games Forums posted a picture of what he think it would look like. Epic hasn't released the official screenshots yet, but I hope they do use this design."I do too. I like it a lot.
"I cant believe people are actually shelling out JUST for that. I mean, I could see if you wanted the other stuff, but paying for the LE just for that is ridiculous."Well I'm a sucker for LE of games, I don't know why but they come with cool stuff, casing and everything. I do agree with you about people paying extra just for the golden lancer, but I doubt that many people are getting the Limited Edition just for it.
"Personally I don't like the look of the gold on it. If you get that edition for the other stuff can you still not use the gold lancer in game?"The limited edition comes with a special code that you have to input if you want to use the gold lancer. So if you don't want the gold lancer, I guess you just don't input the code.
Pretty manipulative. Turns me off the game altogether. I bought the limited edition of GoW1, the fucking tin was a piece of shit, where they actually stuck the game DVD in was crap & the art book wasn't anything I'd pay extra for. Basically I would have rather had a regular Xbox 360 case. Paying $10 for a slightly different colored in-game item seems dumb.
Sweet, the golden lancer is just a bonus i actually care about the case and all the other crap that comes iwth the limited edition.
But iam a whore for a Special Edition of anything, you would not be surprised how many times i got burned on special edition DVD's.
Regardless the gold lancer is pretty cool, but really who uses the lancer online that much? It's usually an all out shotgun brawl.
Now a gold gnasher would be awesome.

But, I love the look of it (should have hired him!)."This isn't the actual golden Lancer. Someone at Epic Games Forums posted a picture of what he think it would look like.

Hopefully we officially found out what it looks like soon...

Looks legit to me, but who knows.
"Looks more bronze than gold. I feel misled."Yea it kind of does, but I'm kind of starting to like it more than the photoshoped one.
"HandsomeDead said:I'm not... but I'll get over it. ;-)"Looks more bronze than gold. I feel misled."Yea it kind of does, but I'm kind of starting to like it more than the photoshoped one."
"HandsomeDead said:Yeah but in action I good see the official full gold lancer looking good . It is not like I will be using the lancer that much but when I do they will know it is Hongkongphooey"Looks more bronze than gold. I feel misled."Yea it kind of does, but I'm kind of starting to like it more than the photoshoped one."
"Jolly_Lolly said:Yeah it will be a lot more noticeable this way, but I'm still on the fence whether or not I should get the LE, if only they included the golden hammerburst as well...don't feel like standing in a line like a dork :P"HandsomeDead said:Yeah but in action I good see the official full gold lancer looking good .

Get hyped limited Edition only way to go and you cant pre order it anymore
"That is ridiculously cool, really cannot wait for the 8th (UK) Limited Edition Preorder a-comin'"It doesn't look too bad. They will have to fear my pimpness.

I really like the look of it for some reason but it makes me want a Red and Black Lancer

"Is the golden lancer supposed to show up on your MP preferences screen like the hammerburst? I put in the code, downloaded the 108k file, but the normal lancer still shows. I haven't jumped into a MP game yet, but I'm hoping it shows up in there."Yeah when you go into the multiplayer lobby you go to options then MP preferences and you can choose your preferred COG or Locust as well as your start up weapon, and if you have the GL you can choose it.
