Spec Ops: The Line has been pushed back and previewed across several years, but now we finally know it'll cross the finish line come June 26. Take-Two revealed as much this morning in a PR missive which also detailed the "Premium Edition" of the first-person shooter. Said premium edition will feature a variety of multiplayer bonus content to folks who pre-order the game from "participating retailers" (none are listed, but we're thinking places like GameStop and Amazon are fair bets).

Perhaps "Premium Edition" doesn't sound militaristic enough for you? Thankfully, Take-Two totally thought of that, which is why part of the premium edition's content is getting access to the "FUBAR pack," containing various multiplayer customization options ("unique and visually distinct items" ... to everyone who pre-orders the game). Additionally, premium content includes an AK-47 unlock and an Officer Class promotion (which confers" several team-based advantages") at rank one, as well as double XP for the first week of online play.

Bizarrely, 2K Games producer Denby Grace openly calls out the unbalance in this pre-order scheme, saying "People who pre-order the game are going to have an immediate advantage in the multiplayer mode." G ... great?
