No specific day in February was specified, but with the announcement of the release came the news of the Halo Wars Limited Collectors Edition.

For an additional $20 over the standard edition this bundle includes:

• Halo Wars: Genesis – a graphic novel detailing a mission involving the Convenant’s interest in Harvest
• A unique Honor Guard Wraith for use in-game
• Early access to the three new Halo 3 maps that comprise the Mythic Map Pack
• Spirit of Fire patch
• The other is a collection of six Leader trading cards

If $80 seems a bit steep for a video game, even a collectors edition, keep in mind the Mythic Map Pack for Halo 3 will cost you $10 on its own.  So, if it makes you feel better think of it as a $70 collectors edition and the $10 Mythic Map Pack, which you were probably going to buy anyway.

Additionally, a few unnamed retailers will be giving away a download for a unique in-game Warthog sporting flame decals with pre-order of Halo Wars LCE.
