Hell yeah has this happened. PS1 vets have been asking for
  • first pick for character and outfit names - this I find understandable, as it pertains to "keeping your identy" from PS1 on to PS2
  • getting the old CR5 backpack as a visual PS1 vet recognition - this has its own, long thread
  • various other cosmetic freebies, from the old PS1 voicepacks to the old body armor looks (of course upgraded to PS2 standards)
  • now this one who even wants something that gives him a tangible in-game benefit and saves him actual cash

All of those suggestions stem from an attitude that us vets are somehow special and are entitled to something extra, which I find really annoying.

I've played PS1 extensively for many years, I've dumped a lot of cash on subs, have earned way over 100k kills and hundreds of thousands of OP - but I don't expect this new game to treat me like some VIP.

Sure, PS2 wouldn't be coming if it wasn't for the long-time vets. Give 'em some extra ribbon to put on their uniform, I'm cool with that. I just don't think people realize how disproportionate some of the other "vet reward" suggestions are, including this one.
