here's the real questions:
  1. How did Amazon get this "unofficial" boxart? Did they create it themselves or was it given to them by TW as a "first-draft" example?
  2. If it was given to them by TW, is the tweeked logo now the official logo? I for one hope so since it looks 100x better. :)

Honestly I could really care less about the box art, I'll probably get it from Steam anyways, I care more about the game itself.

I have a feeling they might have gotten it from the TWI Presskit. I think this picture is in there.

I think nice art would be cool if i get a special edition(it one was made). Art is importand for retail because it will get peoples attention, the more retail copies sold the better for us.

*wonders why he even thinks about the boxart for a game hes most likely buying through digital retail*

you assume whoever the "he" is that you're referring too would be buying through steam and not a boxed version.....some people still like to buy boxed games, believe it or not. (i'm not one of them.....unless it's a collectors edition with contains extras not available in the digital version) ;)

the pictures of the two soldiers were in the presskit, but i don't remember seeing an updated version of the logo.....everything TW has shown has the "Heroes of Stalingrad" portion in the top with the "Red Orchestra" portion in red as the subtitle. since the game was announced, people in these forums, including myself, have suggested keeping the same pattern as the first RO, which was "Red Orchestra" as the title (with the added "2" this time) and the setting (RO1 was "ostfront 41-45", RO2 would be "Heroes of Stalingrad") in red as the subtitle.

at the least, it's nice to see how much nicer this version of the logo is, despite my distaste for the rest of the theme.....so if this new version of the logo is not from TW, i'd hope they look at it to compare it to their current version and seriously consider making the switch since it looks WAY better. if it was given to amazon by TW, then thanks for changing the logo :)

in an era where boxed games give more content and are just as expensive if not cheaper than digital releases....
Seriously for example armed assault was like 40-50 euros on steam and i got it for half of that buy getting it boxed.

Apparently there were some issues with the censors on their planned game cover, so they've gone with this one:

It's like how much more black could this be? And the answer is none, none more black.

Kinda looks like dark maroon to me.
