Treyarch and Activision have officially revealed the Prestiege and Hardened editions for Black Ops 2. While last year you may remember that the Prestiege edition took a break from the COD franchise the Hardened edition of MW3 featured a subscription for Call of Duty Elite. It seems that this year no Elite subscription will be included with either editions of Black Ops 2 as the cash cow seems to be banking on a seperate parfait for Elite. While this doesn’t come as any suprise as the subscription was announced to be intergrated into the COD franchise this way. It begs the question… Will COD addicts or gamers continue to pick up the Elite Subcription?
That is all fine and dandy however lets get to the meat of the meal rather than talk about how cold the potatoes were. Black Ops 2 will come in 2 special edition varieties the first being the Hardened edition so let us take a look at the contents this little wonder will have!
