Pre-ordered it on Steam and was wondering if there is a pre-load option (or if there is going to be one)? It would be nice to start playing at midnight with a minor activation patch instead of downloading the whole game.

Don't worry, it's only about a 2-3 GB's a maximum of 20-30 minutes of downloading in worst cases. You'll be able to play soon enough :)

I doubt it. Steam only offers this rarely, and usually only for high demand releases that might otherwise bog down the download servers too much (Black Ops 2 and such). Also, I believe the release time is around 1PM EST (19:00 CET), not at midnight. Midnight releases are another thing that Steam isn't doing often.
