WAR item for Red Alert 3 pre-orders News • News • Eurogamer.net

News PC Xbox 360

In-game helmet that turns you into a bear.

Those pre-ordering Red Alert 3 will get an exclusive in-game item for Warhammer Online, which appears to be a helmet that turns you into a bear. Bizarre.

The offer, apparently restricted to GAME, includes standard and Premier editions of Red Alert 3.

Remember, those pre-ordering Red Alert 3 will also get a code to download Red Alert 2 for free. Offers, items, lusty females; EA is certainly drawing attention to the game.

Warhammer Online launches on 18th September, although pre-orders of the title will be invited in early and given exclusive in-game items.

Head to our Warhammer Online gamepage to catch up with the latest MMO to pose a threat to World of Warcraft.

so long as it's just a visual thing and doesn't provide any sort of stat boost, I'm fine with it. Infact, if Blizzard could give us WoW pets based on what other Blizzard games we own, that'd be rather spiffy.

Imagine how this could affect World of Warcraft if Blizzovision started doing this with some of their games.

Anyway, it's a clever marketing strategy.

I've got both pre-ordered anyway, so it's just a nice bonus!

Pre-order Red Alert 3 and get a boring sequel and a presumably fun MMORPG (void in your wallet included)
