Will there be TF2 hats for preordering?

I see what you did there!
Cross promotion can only help here. It would bring in many sales and that's what TW need. Don't forget that there's already a relaxed realism mode designed specifically to pull in the CoD/BF/TF2 crowd who otherwise might not touch the game (wtf!!1 no croshare thiiis is siht) so why not actively advertise to them? It's not as if adding hats to another game (already buckling under the weight other assorted headgear) is going to magically change the game mechanics of HoS.

I know you're half kidding Smokey but tbh it would be a bit cool to have *very mild* customizable uniforms. I'm talking different uniforms that were ACTUALLY used in quantity at Stalingrad. So you could have the standard German gray, snow camo, etc. Throw in the option to have a helmet or softcover like this for example:

Could be pretty cool. Though it could get out of hand. If everyone was running around with officer hats that would seriously kill the immersion for me.

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.

Its honestly a great way to get sales, I cant be sure how hard it is to work out a promo deal with valve. But I know a lot of people who paid 35 dollars to pre order sam and max just for the hat.

I play a lot of RO/DH and TF2 so I wouldn't mind a cross promotion. Hats are meh, however, I'd like to see some weapons even if they're reskins. Maybe the heavy gets a cartoony DP-28, sniper gets a scoped kar98 reskin, something along those lines

There seems to be a sort of "hipster" attitude around RO2 marketing
"RO2 will only be cool of no one hears about it through marketing"
"Games that are marketed well? Well they draw a large audience and are too mainstream for my tastes"
Heck people listen to yourselves! Reality is TF2 is nothing but a marketing tool to valve!! Why do you think it's free now? Every random person on the Internet is gonna install steam to play Tf2 and spend time playin it to get hats
Then valve gets other games promo'd by offering free tf2 hats! And heck, it works
As far as I could tell Shogun 2, Homefront, and others were all mediocre games with mediocre demos and previews that sold an iS2 load pre-release for some reason. Why? TF2 hats and weapons!
Itl get ppl to play the game we're all gonna love
So please
Stop with this hipster "no no don't market RO2" shenanigans
Sorry if that makes it too mainstream for ya

Thats a good way to put it.
Even if these buyers dont play it and only want the hat/item, its still a sale for Tripwire. And the money TWI makes will only benefit the players with future updates.
Dunno either, but Tripwire did it before with Killing Floor's Mr. Foster for the Pyro. So hopefully that was a good experience for them.

Putting in the cross-game promotion will only help TWI, it will get more sales for the game and it could possibly bring in some new players that will really love the game.
Nobody suggested TWI put hats into RO2 (well the soldiers already have hats on...).
Remember, there was already an "open letter to the community" made by a staff member. Don't act like you are better than the new people coming in because you don't play TF2 and COD. If some of the new people are just completely stupid, they'll probably end up playing on for a couple of weeks anyways.

Oh it's you...
Just a couple of TF2 server admins checking in to say we'll be setting up an RO2 server on release day.
BTW hats are too blase nowadays, especially with Soldiers running around with laser guns. How about an MG42 for the Heavy and a Mosin-Nagant for the Sniper as promotional items?

I recently tried TF2 because of the high rating it has received from players, and I wasn't impressed at all. All I could think of is these poor kids these days haven't seen enough games to know what is truly good. I've been war gaming on the PC for 30 years, and TF2 isn't all that.
