Bringing back the multiple tiers including statue, DLC and more
Activision today announced and detailed the Black Ops 2 special editions, and they've brought back the multi-tiered system after Modern Warfare 3 skipped out.
So Call of Duty fans can either choose from the $179.99 "Care Package" or somewhat more affordable $79.99 "Hardened Edition." Both actually include the same content, from DLC to soundtrack, with one exception -- and what a pricey exception it is. See, that extra $100 actually gets you an exclusive remote control MO-27 Dragonfire Drone (and a really big box), which is actually pretty badass if you ask us. Okay, so an RC drone isn't exactly a pair of working night vision goggles, but the potential for amusement is practically endless there.
Here's a rundown of the Care Package:
- Call of Duty: Black Ops II
- Remote Controlled MQ-27 Dragonfire Drone - Command cutting-edge technology, exclusively for this once-in-a-lifetime combat collection.
- Nuketown Zombies Bonus Map - Battle hordes of Zombies in this beloved 1960s nuclear neighborhood.
- Nuketown 2025 Bonus Map - Relive the close quarters chaos of this classic fan-favorite map re-imagined in a 1960s visionary depiction of the "model home of the future."
- Collectible 2-Sided SteelBook - Limited edition game case featuring exclusive artwork.
- (2) Challenge Coins - Limited edition challenge coins that serve as your key to exclusive digital content.
- Weapon Camo - Rank-up in style with an exclusive multiplayer weapon skin.
- (2) Player Card Backgrounds - Liven up any killcam with two exclusive player card backgrounds, inspired by Nuketown 2025 and Zombies.
- Official Call of Duty: Black Ops II Soundtrack - A digital copy of composer Jack Wall's epic in-game score with Theme by Trent Reznor.
- Xbox LIVE CLAW Avatar Prop - An exclusive avatar prop, deployable to a dashboard near you.
- Xbox LIVE Zombies Avatar Costume - Show off your pride with an avatar costume built exclusively for fans of the Call of Duty undead.
(PlayStation 3 versions include a dynamic multiplayer theme of the Turbine map as well as a dynamic Zombies theme that shows off Call of Duty: Black Ops II Zombies)
For PC owners, Acti has the Digital Deluxe Edition available, which is priced the same as and includes everything from the Hardened Ed. You know, minus the tin case and console-only stuff like Avatar items and dashboard themes.
Don't feel too cheated, because Activision and Treyarch are throwing in a voucher for World at War to make up for the console exclusives. Take a look:

Mainly for zombies, but the extra goodies are awesome too
Also, good to see PC gettign a descent cut, WaW alone is worth 10 quid at least, so throwing that in along with a few other things makes it a nice package, if i had a descent gaming PC (and i didnt already have WaW) i would be getting this on PC.
