Will there be TF2 hats for preordering?

Most people like me will be buying RO2 even if it lacks hat based warfare, but for the people that need hats to survive it should have some crossover promotion with tf2. This way it will boost sales and we can all get some nifty hats to show off.

I made this simulated picture to show what could be possible;

I sense thick sarcasm here, in relation to the PC Gamer podcast. They kept making TF2 referrences for some reason...

Actually sales-wise it's not as silly idea as one would expect, considering I know tad too many persons who pre-ordered certain games just to get hats for TF2 even when they have never played it. How good it would be for the community on the other hand is another question.

if they never play it, it won't affect the community at all, hell, have you ever looked at the stats for RO achievements? only 14% of the people who owns the game has the achievement of killing 10 enemies.

so, no, no effect on the community, but if TWI gets more money, means even better games in the future.

Actually that might be more due to the fact than when RO came out Steam Achievements were not in ^^.

Will people stop quoting the achieves as proof for anything?!

They were added in years after ROOST came out, I played hundreds of hours of ROOST (might have even broken 1000, it was all I played for over two years straight ). I went on to play ARMA before they added achieves so I dont even have most of them...

A TF2 promo is fine for silly games like KF and some of the indie games it's helped with, but RO2 doesn't need it IMO, and I'd be really surprised if Tripwire even considered it in the first place. Valve already cooperates with developers by putting their games on Steam. As if that alone isn't a huge amount of advertisement for small devs.

Such heavy handedness has made Halo and COD house hold names, and while you and I might dislike these type of one trick pony games, sales and popularity speak for themselves.

I'd rather TWI make sales, cater a little more towards these players, while keeping the game great for players like you and me.
