replyThis 'trend' of having special content for those getting various CE packages is not so good in my opinion.
I don't mind CE releases at all - I think they are great actually. As long as they keep things the same INSIDE the game, no matter what version you bought.-

Paying for maps is a problem in general. It divides the online community. It's especially bad in Halo3 because of the way they split up the matchmaking playlists. Want to play team SWAT? Not if you didn't by the new maps. Too bad for you.

Like I said - I do not mind CE releases at all.
Everything that is added outside the game is more than awesome. I have certainly bought my share of games / movies released this way.
What I do mind is one game having different versions of gameplay. That should be the same for everyone who buys game X. It has nothing to do with getting what you pay for. It is minor changes yes, but the experience isn't the same for all - which it in my opinion should be.-
Hopefully that vehicle is just a different skin and not a strategically unique unit. Otherwise that's pretty lame, especially for an RTS.

What kpxkrnjc means that if people may more why shouldn't they get more all around. It does have something to do with someone getting more by paying more. In my view, if I was a developer, I would thank my hardcore fans who bought and shelled out extra for the CE of my game by not only giving them a making of DVD, metal case and art book but something cool in game too. It's what should make a CE special, one of the reasons why it is a CE. It's not like others didn't have the opportunity to get the CE of a game also.
