    I think all who didn't pre-order and get a copy early are gonna luck out.

    I pre-ordered but the Gamestop guy made it seem to me like I didn't need to.

    He was saying that they aren't printing up pre-order codes on the receipts as per usual. He said "it's already in the game box" referring to what you're talking about.

    The Elite Soldier Pack that comes with early release copies of the game. Like in the pic Skyboxer showed, it has that sticker at the bottom next to the 9.5 GI rating sticker.

      Some please tell me that it's only the demo mission that is scripted, and the real game is dynamic.

        Almost the entire game is randomized. I didn't play the demo, but the tutorial is scripted. Maybe it's that?

          Just the tutorial, the game is mainly randomized.

                  Ahhhh you know what I'm going to say.

                  Having a blast with this.


                  Am I nuts to have a Manage only Mode game of The Show playing PiP while I'm playing this?

                            Also I do remember someone saying you should start from scratch after doing the training??? Any help/tips for a first-timer to get me going would be appreciated.
                            You will be able to tell. Once the game stops basically telling you what to do during you mission and in between the tutorial is over.

                              CMH...

                              From what I can gather...the DLC is going to be maps and armor.

                              The pre-order bonus was the elite pack(I pre-ordered on Steam...and didn't get the pre-order bonus for some reason..perhaps because it was 24 hours before release)...and the ability to more fully customize your players(better customization of the armor and giving nicknames(I can only rename)

                              One thing.....I wish they would let you edit the country of origin for you player(unless that is available to the pre-order bonus players)

                                Nope. You can't edit country of origin with the preorder either (or if you can, it's well hidden). I wish you could edit that too though.

                                As for the nicknames, you have to be given one by the game first. Once a solider is given a nickname, then it's editable like the other names.
