you had to either go to the midnight release or buy the special edition
you got the gold lancer from the special edition and the Gold hammer burst from the midnight release

you might still be able to get these codes from your local gamestore. Ask if they have extras.

Is there any way to get the gold hammerburst now? I ordered on Amazon.

Its impossible to get any of the Golden weapons unless you buy one, or you have a game store thats nice and gives them out (Read: Unlikely)

If you would have attended the midnight release of Gears of War 2 at Gamestop you would have received the Hope Runs Deep theme, the Golden Hammerburst, and maybe the first edition of the Gears of War comic book. The Golden Lancer only comes with the Limited Edition game. All of the items were free except for the game of course.

I forgot to mention that you get the Flashback Map Pack with both editions of the game for free as well.

For the golden hammerburst you must attend a midnight launch of the game ( Not just from gamestop) and for the lancer you must buy the limited edition version of the game.

Any of these can also be obtained by copying it off of an xbox from someone who does have these guns with a memory card.
