‘Call of Duty: Black Ops 2’ Special Editions Announced for XBox 360, PS3 and PC

It’s already going to be the best-selling game of 2012. Even Activision Blizzard’s PC darling Diablo III can’t compare to the multiplatform might that is Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. For most gamers, it isn’t a matter of “if” they are going to get the game as much as it is “when” and “where” they plan on getting it. But now, with the announcement of three different special editions, “which” becomes the biggest question for them to answer.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 will have two versions coming to the XBox 360 and PlayStation 3 and one digital download version. The Hardened Edition will retail for its standard $79.99 for XBox 360 and PS3 as will the Digital Deluxe Edition for PC download. There will again be an epic collector’s edition to go alongside some of the Call of Duty masterpieces of the past as well-known as the Care Package. You can check out the full list of what comes in each special edition below but there are a few cool things to note.

The pinnacle of excess comes this time from the Care Package. In addition to all materials that come in the Hardened Edition, it comes with a MQ-27 Dragonfire Drone. In addition to using them in the game, now you will have the opportunity to harass friends, family and pets in real life with this flying terror. Sadly, it doesn’t come with a fully loaded machine gun like it does in-game. That would have made for some interesting hunting sessions for players of the game in heavily wooded area during deer season.
