How do I unlock the M1 Garand in Battlefield Bad Company 2?

It mentions something about being a "Battlefield Veteran", what does that mean?How do I unlock the M1 Garand in Battlefield Bad Company 2?
Below I'll provide each and every step I took to getting the gun.





Let's get this straight.

First, and this is very important. You will need two Battlefield games registered under your EA/PSN linked account. And that's important too, you'll need your accounts linked. You can download the demos for either BF2 or BF2412. I haven't verified that 2412 works, but BF2 did for me. I also used BF Heroes.



Here's the thing, BF1943 and BFBC2 don't seem to work on the veteran site currently, despite my owning both. So I had to use this work around.



Ok, now that you've got these prerequisites out of the way, you'll need to log into http://veteran.battlefield.com/. From the drop down list you can pick the demos you downloaded, for me BF Heroes automatically showed up. Once you have this done continue down to the steps to unlock your Garand.



NOTE: IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT YOU NEED TO REGISTER THESE DEMOS AND/OR BF HEROES UNDER THE SAME NAME AND ACCOUNT THAT YOU HAVE TIED BETWEEN YOUR PSN AND EA!



I'll lay out how I did it step by step.



1: What I mean is when you go to www.battlefieldbadcompany2.com, make it looks like this, www.battlefieldbadcompany2.com/login. Then you can log in.



2: Now change the address manually to www.battlefieldbadcompany2.com/stats. This will bring up your stat sheet, and it will most likely not be updated, but that's ok.



3: Now, on the stat sheet you should see a little avatar/icon of a soldier of some sort on the upper left hand of the screen. Next to this icon, to the right a bit you should see Position, System and Veteran Status. This part is simple. Simply click on Veteran Status.



4: This is assuming you have at least two games registered. The BF2 demo worked for me, so I can confirm that you can use that, as well as signing up for Battlefield Heroes, which I also did. These two games alone will give you Veteran Rank 1, enough to unlock the M1 Garand.



5: Ok, now that that's all said and one, log into the game, and go to "My Stats" under the Multiplayer option. This should update your stats and recognize the signal for your Veteran status, thus unlocking the Garand. If it worked you'll get a little confirmation message stating so.
