Well, its not that you don't get all the commanders for free, more that progression system is slooow and random right now.

Everyone gets them, but they promised upcoming commanders for free if you buy deluxe edition.

30% extra price for the game to get nothing that was promised, sounds like a scam to me.

At the very begining there were 3 types of commanders: the ones that you could get by progression, ones that were given to people who pre-ordered and the ones that went only to people who got the extended/deluxe/whatever more expensive edition.

The commanders from last group couldn't even be bought by others for quite a long time after release. If I remember correctly they were released for sale about the time first iteration of war spoils came out. So it was something elite for the time. The only problem being that these commanders are generally trash ones.

It would have been unfair if these were better than vanilla ones though.

The Deluxe Edition of was a waste of money, that's the simple truth.

lol no. The commanders like lightning war armored assault were in the store a few months after release, atleast a year before the first warspoils came out.

Lightning war is in another group, of good, one could say p2w, commanders that were added just to be sold, months after release. But the original ones that were given only with the deluxe edition couldn't be bought in store at the time.

The problem is that the "Deluxe/Limited" edition was not really "Limited" so people were kinda screw on that sense. Besides a nice faceplate there was practically no difference between reserving the game or buying it on day 1.

PD: combined that with one of Relic's post saying that there won't be any microtransaction/DLC which would affect gameplay (commanders)... But this topic is just beating a dead horse.

Nah, lightning war was one of those. They were commanders that were just scrambled abilities from existing commanders, lightning war just happened to be one that wasn't trash.

And to add to elchino's post, the deluxe version promised more before the THQ liquidation. Afterwards, the rewards were scaled back when SEGA took over. But I think most were generally forgiving, since many had warned of the dangers of pre-ordering, and their warnings certainly came to pass.

OTOH, I imagine, though I don't know, that most of those who made pre-orders were just grateful to something from the new game, as opposed to losing their pre-order payments and getting nothing at all.

Were the pre-order group happy with the initial retail iteration of COH2?...history tends to suggest otherwise.

As someone who paid $100 for that piece of shit falsely advertised DCE, "grateful" is the last word I would use to describe getting that abortion of a product. If I didn't get either a game or my $100 back out of that deal I would've looked up Quinn Duffy's phone number and rang his house every day until he decided to send me $100 out of his own pocket.

I paid 70 bucks for it, perks of trading games with Russians before steam locked it all. No salt

And what about this:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/287371/

False adv at its best.

A faction that was advertised as a small, elite army with lack of resources got turned into Ost 2.0 with its core army overhauled, some of it's key advertised features/units removed/reworked.

A refund would be nice
