Great news to all XCOM fans, Enemy Unknown is now available for pre-order on Steam. But the way the offer their pre-order bonuses work this time seems rather new. Almost Kickstarter-ish, if you ask me. Depending on how many gamers have pre-ordered the game, you get the following rewards on release date:

Elite Soldier Pack

The Elite Soldier Pack will provide the ultimate tools for soldier customization in XCOM: Enemy Unknown, including:

• Classic XCOM Soldier
  Players will instantly receive a new recruit in their barracks inspired by the original X-COM: UFO Defense. The iconic soldier with the blonde, flattop hairstyle will return fully modernized.
• Soldier Deco packs
  Players can customize their soldier with several aesthetic upgrades to armor suits, including the new Hyperion and Reaper soldier armor kits.
• Complete color customization
  A variety of colors and tints for all armor sets in the game allow players complete control to customize their squad’s look.

Everything Above, Plus:

3 Exclusive XCOM TF2 Items:

• The Crafty Hair
  If you're ever planning on fighting aliens, this is the hair to have.
• Area 451
  If aliens ever invaded Badlands and used their special alien powers to make all of our heads look like alien heads, this is a scientifically accurate representation of what Pyro would look like.
• The Vigilant Pin
  This pin proudly states to all that you are at least vaguely aware of the possibility that maybe aliens exist.

Everything Above, Plus Civilization V!

As of today, the number of pre-orders have reached 80 percent of Reward 1. What say you guys help out? :D
