Halo Wars Limited Edition Packs New Halo 3 Maps
by Chris Faylor, Nov 06, 2008 10:04am PSTPublisher Microsoft today revealed the Limited Collector's Edition version of Halo Wars (360), the final strategy game from the soon-to-be-closed Ensemble Studios.
Arriving in February and priced at $79.99--$20 more than the $59.99 standard edition--the Halo Wars LCE will sport a snazzy metal case and the following bonuses:
- Three New "Halo 3" Multiplayer Maps - Be one of the first to experience the Mythic Map Pack from Bungie which includes three new maps, "Assembly," "Orbital" and "Sandbox"
- Halo Wars: Genesis- a beautiful graphic novel by Phil Noto, Graeme Devine and Eric Nylund chronicling the first military campaign against the Covenant. The novel centers around the Sprit of Fire on a mission to discover why the Covenant are so interested in the world of Harvest
- Unique In-game Vehicle - "Honor Guard" Wraith
- Six Leader Cards - Leaders possess elite skills which can turn the tides of battle
- Spirit of Fire Patch - Start the journey as an official Spirit of Fire crew member
In addition, select retailers will award players with a code for a "special in-game Warthog vehicle with flame decals" in exchange for a pre-order.

$60 for a simplistic, mediocre RTS + $20 for 3 new maps? Pass.

who comes up with this fluffy crap? some marketing dipwad at the publishers? please don't tell me its the developer.
Better yet, how awesome would it be if they later released some functionality that enabled the 360 game to use a mouse through the USB port? Almost everyone has a computer w/ a USB mouse, so it'd make sense as an optional control scheme! Oh man that'd be awesome

I don't mind CE releases at all - I think they are great actually. As long as they keep things the same INSIDE the game, no matter what version you bought.
