To celebrate the release of Gears of War 2, Epic Games offered a gold-plated Hammerburst assault rifle to everybody who attended midnight launch events on November 7, 2008. This was given in the form of a unique code that could only be used once. The Hammerburst is the standard weapon used by enemy Locust Drones.Gears of War Wiki: Gears of War Hammerburst
In addition to the exclusive weapon, midnight launch attendees received a code to download the Flashback Map Pack for free. The pack consists of five popular maps from the original Gears of War game: Canals, Gridlock, Mansion, Subway and Tyro Station.
Note that those who ordered the GoW 2 limited edition received a gold-plated Lancer assault rifle. This is the C.O.G. equivalent to the Hammerburst.IGN: Gears of War 2 Fans Worldwide Preparing for...Launch (October 14, 2008)
