That's happened to me 5 times in the last 6 weeks, I can post pictures of them if you want.

The econometrics of the store are really fascinating.
I just ran the numbers for myself using two of the common metrics I've seen thrown around the boards (700k credits and 1Mil credits) per upgrade, and the results are really interesting.
With 78 UR upgrades to go that's either 67 Million (@700k/upgrade) credits required or 95.8 Million (@ 1mil/upgrade). This number includes estimates for a certain number of JEPs bought in order to keep my consumables fully stocked. That number also assumes that I'm exclusively playing platinum, it jumps considerably if I downgrade to just gold (need more JEPs).
I calculated either 552 or 788 PSPs required to complete all unlocks, and including credits spent on JEPs, that would require 463 or 661 Platinum extractions to complete. At an estimated 25 mins per platinum extraction (assume some speedruns and some dragged out pugs to arrive at 25 min avg.) that's 193 and 275 additional hours of gameplay to max my manifest.
At an estimated average 2 hours of gameplay per calander day (less on weekdays more on weekends), that's 96 or 138 days before my manifest is complete. That's 14 and 20 weeks respectively, or 3.2 and 4.6 MONTHS respectively.
I think i'm probably being WAY to conservative with the credit estimates for JEPs and it's probably much smaller than that, but i'll stick to it for the sake of consistency.
By the same token it would cost between a mere $1,655USD (700k/upgrade scenario) to $2,364USD (1mil/upgrade scenario) to pay for all my packs using MS points.

When you get top score, you get URs faster! >
not true but I would say playing at higher difficulties will get you stuff faster
Second account since I have no access to my first one
Reserve Pack and Arsenal Pack only (after maxing uncommon weapons)
Yeah, I was just joking becuase I was playing with him when I got the pack, and I had outscored him in that match.
And the manifest is going pretty well

It is bad if everybody who get double UR in one pack rightfully post a thread about it.

I'm a little confused as to what you're trying to say..
I've gotten double UR drops before, I've just never gotten two guns to X in one pack.
I found it funny because after the match, I said to the guys I was playing with..
"Last pack of the day, I have a Eagle and Valiant at 9.. C'mon RNG give me something good!" *Please Wait*
...
...Back story end.

I just got a PSP with
+5 Thermal Clip Packs
Explosive Rounds III
Densified Ammunition V
Blood Pack Punisher I
Black Widow III
Isn't that awesome? I mean, Explosive rounds man! I bet they blow up and kill all the Cerebros. Then Commander Mass Effects wins the game!

I haven't received one ur in almost 2 weeks, roughly 4 million credits. I find it harder to play this game everyday because of that.

Got what will be my final double rare last night (Valkyrie 9 and Valiant 10). All I have left is the Valkyrie 10 to complete my manifest.
dl.dropbox.com/u/9181219/IMG_6009.JPG
I've gotten 9 double UR packs since I played the game. Best one I got personally was the Wraith 10 and Black Widow 10 in 1 pack

Today I got about 8 or 10 UR upgrades. all of them were 2 at a time. I thought it was the store giving out more since the new DLC since this happened then too but with the new characters and also with some URs. I finally realized that TIME is a variable in the drop rate of UR weapons and probably characters. High score may also be a variable because both times before the I got the constant drops of URs I had:
1) not been buying ANYTHING but Jumbo packs
2) had played A LOT of bronze solos with favorite characters.
3) had taken time off from the game (weeks to a month).
4) had gotten high scores several times on teams or because of playing solos
When I came back or purchased and played then spent a lot credits I ended up with a lot of URs and 2 at a time. I also got all the new characters very fast. I think there's a time factor element involved as a variable.
Here's what to do:
Don't buy anything but jumbos for basics for at least two weeks but a month is better.
In case high score is a variable, work with a team of friends and set it so you get high score for a few matches if you don't play solos.
When you go back to buying the packs it will give you lots of double drops. I won't do anything but jumbos now until weeks have passed. Then when I spend the credits, I get lots of URs right off the bat with my first few packs. This has happened to me several times. And it always happens after I take time off from the game weeks to a month. I come back and it forks over URs when it didn't give me anything for millions of credits spend but level IV ammo. Time is definitely a variable. No other reason why all of a sudden I get 4 or 5 double drop URs (two also had new mods) when I hadn't been playing in a while (so I wasn't spending) or just had been buying jumbo packs. Meanwhile, lots of people are buying regularly and getting level 4 ammo. The minute I get level 4 ammo and no weapon or character drop is when I go back to jumbos and wait another few weeks then test it. If I don't get anything good in two packs. I wait two more weeks and test it again - only buying jumbos. Saving credits and playing silver with friends and solo bronzes.
TIME has to be a variable in drops. It is the only logical reason for why I've had these double UR drops several packs in a row after not buying anything but jumbo packs in a while.

That's happened to me a few times, doesn't mean RNG is good.
