Limited edition/special edition

I heard the Sh 4 special edition was pretty bad, I WANT MY REQOGNITION MANUAL

And please do not make exclusive in-game content for pre-oders, special editions and retail-specific pre-orders. Only physical goodies, that most people could care less about, but leave the game complete and equal for every player.

The only problem I have with a recognition manual is that it will be outdated the minute a patch or mod adds new ships.

A whiz-wheel would be beautiful, especially if based on Hitman's work.

The problem is that the Devs have no control over this. It's handled by a totally different arm of the company.

How about a big red button that you plug into your usb port and you can use it for launching torps

That would be cool.

I have a profile on my Saitek X52 that lets me use the up down flip switches to raise/lower my scopes.

Damn never thought about using mine. Too bad there isn't much chance for TrackIR support.

That IS a neat idea.

Yup, that's why the SH4 limited box was so bad, why can't they simply pass the artwork through the game's project manager for their seal of approval?

Seems like the trend in Manual's in today games is PDF format.

You have a better chance of getting a little sub shaped whistle than, a decent Manual.

So right.

I like the idea of a whiz wheel.

It would fit in the game case and make up for the crummy manual.

I created a wiz-wheel not so long ago that I would would love for them to include (could be made using thin perspex).

This time I want a pen that actually writes more than one paragraph before running out (the realist in me does not expect much beyond that).

I liked how World in Conflict's collector's edition came with a pebble from the Berlin wall.

I agree with the OP, give me an indepth, full-colour manual, a recognition manual, or something similar in the Collector's Edition. Lots of gimmicks out today like flags, mouse pads, t-shirts and whatnot, but I'd prefer something useful, unless it was something really special like the Berlin wall thing above.

The WiC Collector's Edition also included a couple History Channel DVD's... maybe SH5's Collector's Edition could include a copy of Das Boot with a commentary track from... the SH5 devs?
