Don't you think you may have made too many assumptions you consider "accurate" at this point?

Lets examine that logical conclusion of yours:
Tweet Source:
Spoiler: show

never said it won't be available after game launch or exclusively for those who pre-order the game.
Saying you won't be able to get these guns through the deluxe edition post release is jumping to conclusions that suits you, either because you want it to be true or afraid it will be so.
And spreading false information.
I could have swore I also saw a tweet that said that the weapons are only available for preorder. It's possible I misread a reddit title as a tweet. There's no reason to be so accusatory.

I'm curious how the whole exclusive weapon thing will work out. Regarding pre order the guy who gave the Q&A Answer might just have phrased it wrong. Origin does not mention pre order for the deluxe edition and I'd expect they would rub it in your face in big letters. At best these are just reskins for people that like to pay 10 bugs more. Having different weapons for $$ is tricky - beside people being upset they just exist. If they are slightly more powerful in one aspect people that did not buy them will cry pay to win. If they balance them out (aka nerf) the people who bought them will complain. Even if they blindly bought them pre release.

Anyway ... did you really read through all tweets since Feb. 10th? Only the tough ones get into the garden (sorry, literal interpretation or a german slang rhymen, but you probably get it ;-)

This blew BF4's 3 Gold Battlepacks away.
All this for only 130 bucks! What a buy!
The Veteran backpack isn't only for veterans apparently because if you only buy Hardline but pay enough for it you still become an automatic veteran! :thumbup: Not to mention they didn't even try to sell the other backpacks
Suppression Battlepack
Never run out of ammo again. Okay, we exaggerate…but this Assault Rifle does has the largest magazine capacity. Plus get an XP boost and a unique camo skin for your weapons.
