We just received word from Gears of War 2 community manager SixOkay that Microsoft is aware of the problems some are having with downloading the Gears 2 Limited Edition exclusive golden Lancer and they're looking into a fix.
"I just wanted to send around a quick note to you all that we have indeed heard some reports from folks who are having troubles downloading the Golden Lancer. We are aware of the issue and looking into what might be causing the problem. Once I have more specific information I'll let you know what's happening."
We've been hearing reports from the X3F community that, when entered via Xbox Live, the the Gears 2 LE exclusive golden Lancer redemption code fails to download any content and instead displays an error message. We'll keep you updated when we hear more.

How do you set whether you want to use the gold weapons or not?

In the multiplayer settings, you can choose your favoured weopon.. between Lancer & Hammerburst. If you have a gold weopon downloaded/earned, it's an extra choice each.
so on the option default its lancer, press right for hammerburst, then again for a gold one, right again returns to lancer, unless you have a 2nd gold..

it's probably going to be released as DLC at some point or another anyways. But seriously, who cares? It just makes you more visible...

Its on the Flashback Map card, peel the strip, you'll see 3 codes: Map, Lancer, 48hr code.
Also, seems like the Gold Lancer is now working...lots of users are reporting this on the Epic forums.

I dont care much for this but I buy used games often. Sometimes ill buy new games, sell them and then end up buying a game I once owned off ebay for cheap.
So for anyone who buys a used version of Gears 2 is screwed out of the Flashback Map Packs. I dont think it will curb used games sales if that's what they are hoping for. I guess it is their right to do it, but ill be the first to say I dont agree with it or like it.

So true...i have read every page of the manual. I will probably get rolling an hour earlier than you, though. Good Warring to you!
