So, I saw on Amazon.com that they offer a special "pre-order gift" to those who pre-order the game:

Go to war in an exclusive vehicle!

Pre-order Crysis now and you'll also receive the exclusive unlockable 'NK Amphibious APC'.

After the game ships pre-order customers will receive an e-mail from Amazon containing a redemption code and instructions for downloading the APC.

Anyone know what this is all about? Is it for Single-Player or Multi-Player?

This too I have been wondering about. I mean, how can it be implemented in multiplayer? You'll end up with the 'haves' and the "have-nots" and I do not think Crytek wants to do that to their fans, especially upon the initial release of their game. It'll already be divided enough at the start with those who have dx10 and those who only have dx9. We do not need a 4 way split.

Remember everyone this game is published by EA. They milk every dollar out of it.

Yeap, but I still didnt fall for it :D

"This item will be released on September 11, 2007. Pre-order now! Ships from and sold by Amazon.com. Gift-wrap available." Anyone get that part? http://www.amazon.com/Electronic-Arts-Crysis/dp/B000PS2XDO/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/105-1200047-8545223?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1183309431&sr=8-1

LOL i didn't even buy the game partially for the reason that they wanted me to buy that verson for an extra bloody gun. That just makes me angry.

Yes, but some of us allow it to happen:D

So, getting back on point, does anyone have any ideas about how this vehicle will be implemented? Whether it will be a Single-Player unlock, or a Multi-Player?

And I still don't understand how ordering the game from a particular store will influence whether you can use a particular vehicle in-game. Seems strange.

I think that it will be mp based and that it will be relatively like other apc's, except with a different skin.

Oh and lets compare EA and where it got with its greediness. ;)
