Black Ops 2 prestige/hardened edition

[OUTL4W]

Official Call of Duty: Black Ops II Facebook page has posted this picture with the caption: “Dan Bunting, David Vonderhaar, and the rest of the Treyarch team have been working on something special. Look what’s dropping tomorrow.” That picture is the care package for the Prestige Edition… We’ll have the details tomorrow!


Details of a Prestige and Hardened Edition of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 have begun surfacing out of this year’s GameStop Expo in San Antonio, Texas.

A recent GameStop press release detailing the third wave of pre-order bonuses for Black Ops 2 reads, clearly mentioning a Black Ops 2 Prestige Edition:

The Quadrotor XBOX Live Avatar Prop or the PS3 Dynamic Theme. Choose either of these exclusive digital items based on console preference and guarantee your download by picking up your game when it launches.
Treyarch VIP Experience Sweepstakes. Enter for your chance to win a tour of Treyarch Studios, a multiplayer session with developers, a swag bag with a signed Prestige Edition of Call of Duty®: Black Ops II, and more.
Entry into Turtle Beach Prize Pack Sweepstakes. Enter for your chance to win one of a 100Call of Duty®: Black Ops II Turtle Beach Ear Force X-Ray Gaming headsets.
Additionally, an announcement of a Hardened Edition and details of the Prestige Edition have begun surfacing out of the currently on-going expo. According to FPS General, the Prestige Edition will include:

Remote-controled UAV Flyer (presumably modeled after the Quadrotor Drone).
Exclusive in-game upgrades.
Exclusive Zombie Maps.
Nuketown 2025.
It is also mentioned that this edition in particular will present itself as a replica Care Package, though probably not as big as the in-game counterpart.

No word on whether an ELITE subscription would be included in the Hardened or Prestige Edition. However, more details are to come…

Thanks, Charlie Intel and John Caroll for the tip.

I don't like the idea of exclusive zombie maps or in game upgrades for an extra $90 on the base price. Hopefully they are offered in other DLC rather than being exclusive.

I kinda like the zombie maps, but I don't need to pay 90 extra dollars for a bunch of sweepstakes. Also the in-game upgrades have to be fair. What ruined BF3 for me was the fact that people payed to win. Also ELITE was a complete bust, you only get maps that seemed subpar or at least heard were subpar. Relaying back to the zombie maps, I don't play zombies all that often since I have stable internet. I'll only play it when my school is fixing it. So spending $50 on 1 zombie map and 4 multiplayer maps isn't worth it.
