Company of Heroes 2 pre-orders begin rolling out on Steam and Origin
By Tim Colwill on September 21, 2012 at 11:54 am
THQ and Relic have begun taking pre-orders for Company of Heroes 2 on both Steam and Origin platforms. Any and all pre-orders will automatically unlock a “global pre-order bonus” of two vehicle skins for the medium weight German Rotbraun and Soviet Leningrad vehicles.
Steam pre-orders seem to be the better deal of the two, offering access to the Pre-Purchase Tiered Reward Program Thingy whereby more pre-orders means more unlocks for your Steam account in Team Fortress 2 and Dawn of War II: Retribution. Origin customers get an extra skin for the Soviet Bryansk Front vehicle, which is, you know, nice.
THQ has also announced a digital collectors edition, which includes access to the first three single player “Content Packs” when they become available, as well as the “Command Pass” which will “entitle players to download new bonus multiplayer maps as well as take part in exclusive member’s only events”, a shiny special heavy German Whitewash and Soviet Winter Cobblestone tank skin pair, and a Veteran badge. Perhaps most excellently, the digital collectors edition also comes with a free copy of the original Company of Heroes, as well as all its expansions.
The regular edition is running at $79.99, while the digital collectors edition is at $129.99.

I cant wait for it, although im holding off the pre-order for now.
Same here, as much as I loved the first game. $80-130 just seems too much for a digital edition, shouldn’t the customer get as least -some- savings from the cheaper digital distributions? For the same price on many other games I could have a boxed collector’s edition from Ebgames with a statue or some nick-nacks.
There won’t be a physical CE, so if you want the extra content you’ll have to order through Steam/THQ.
Also, the Australian prices for the digital standard and CE are $20 and $30 respectively higher than what our friends in the US have to pay…:-(
well that just sours the whole deal.
are they really bringing $80 worth of new material to the table when I bought the (fantastic) original for $2 a matter of months ago?
Like always, you should never pay these Gouged Australian Prices on steam anyway. Base game is $60 and digital collectors is $99 from Gamersgate, and thats without the 15% IGN discount.
sorry, but NOTHING beats cjs-cdkeys and also piracy methods
THQ can go die in a hole if they want to gouge us on Steam.
