History buffs and tactical shooter fans got a pre-order kit that actually felt like a piece of the war. The Brothers in Arms Road to Hill 30 Limited Edition Pre-Order Kit on PC arrived in a tin case and packed more narrative depth than most full collector's editions.

Inside that tin, you get an exclusive DVD loaded with content: a 27-minute making-of documentary with behind-the-scenes developer interviews, tracks from the orchestral score, excerpts from the game's screenplay, and a 14-minute gameplay demonstration with commentary from Director Randy Pitchford and Historian Colonel John Antal. Then there's the Pvt. Johnny Rivas diary, an 8-page book produced by Penny Arcade. That collaboration alone makes this a curiosity piece for collectors who follow gaming history's stranger crossovers. Exclusive postcards round out the set.

The tin case gives this kit a tactile, wartime feel that fits the subject matter perfectly. Gearbox treated this IP with genuine respect for the source material, and the pre-order kit reflects that. For World War II gaming collectors, the Penny Arcade diary and the orchestral score excerpts make this one worth the search.
