yes, I thought it was fair. you preorder the game, you get the bonus. don't? tough gently-carressing luck.
edit: I love this censor.
So a game unbalancing bonus is fair to you?
What if in the pack there was a weapon which effectively made another useless, would that be fair?
No, it would not be fair to those who didn't pre-order, cool stuff outside the game yes, extra weapons the others can never get and were changing the game, no.
I am sooo very glad that fact was resolved as the basic orders are just as valid as the pre-orders in a game with multiplayer.
