I like those ideas, but, nobody want "in game" things ?

Only visual things of course (such as the various Marines chapter for the coming "Space Marines" of Relic).

In-game day 1 DLCs are generally hated by the sort of people who would be interested in RO2. Tripwire can go ahead and sell cosmetic items post-release though, the way it did with KF.

Can I just add to this. Given that we have a fixed release date there could be a pre order for this special edition that would end about 1 month to 2 weeks before the games release, with the intent of having the game ( and possibly the extra goodies ) mailed to the buyer in time for release. ( perhaps pre order would get you the game on steam.

Atleast by doing that they wouldnt get burned on leftover unbought collectors editions..

Here's my list:
I would like to get:

-Working PTRS with let's say 20/30 bullets.
-Working MG42, with a 250 round belt.
-A Mosin Nagant 1891/30 with bayonet.
-Every weapon would be nice :D
-A 1:1 T-34.
-German or Russian helmet. (I prefer the Russian one)
-Oh, and then, Volgograd itself.

Aside form the mandatory soundtrack (awesome idea).

I loved the collectors edition of the first STALKER.
The photographs they used for building the maps and such including a making of.

Love to see images of the grain silo in-game next to the real photographs.

But anyway no in-game items or anything, maybe RO character to play in KF (KF2?) but that's it:D

All of these ideas are great, and I would LOVE to see Tripwire launch with a special edition, but everything I've heard seems to suggest they're too busy with actually making the game to be bothered with stuff like this.

Regardless, I'll add my two cents :D
Separate versions is a great idea; a Zeltbahn/Plash Palatka, or a simple cloth field cap would be great options, and probably not too expensive. A "combat phrasebook" is a fantastic idea (both Russian and German in one book, of course), as is a map with information about the battles represented in the game.

I just came with an idea.

I loved the 'Red Orchestra History and Tactic guide', which came with the game as a pdf file.
I even made it hard-copy and put it on my shelf for some 'light' reading:D

So maybe a nice booklet of the next version of this guide (even little bit expanded with photo's and stories) for the collectors edition?

actually that review points out one thing I had not thought of till yet, currency. Anyone know how easy it is to get your hands on some ww2 vintage marks or rubles?

A little pewter IS2 would be cool. :IS2:

The best (and somewhat realistic) thing would be either a making of feature in video (with captions for other languages or the HOH) or in writing.

A 1:1 scale fake loaded stripper clip for a mosin/kar98 would be pretty cool, too.
