I am currently holding off pre-ordering Crysis 3 only because I hope they will release a "Nano" like edition of the C2 package with the backpack and figurine does anyone know if there will be a C3 collector’s edition?

Cry-Adam confirmed to me that no such releases will happen with C3, at least before the initial release.

Whether there'll be a Collector's edition sometime down the game's lifetime, nobody knows.

Thanks for the speedy response, although its a shame I really enjoyed the extras from the c2 nano edition with the Alcatraz figure having a proud place on my pc tower and the backpack being used regular, it's a shame they won't be going down a similar route with C3...

weird, this game seems more deserving of that kind of special release
