'Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2' 'Hardened' And 'Care Package' Editions Detailed

Eurogamer is detailing the contents of Treyarch's coming "Call of Duty: Black Ops 2" special editions, currently available for pre-order at various retail outlets. While neither special edition includes Activision's "Call of Duty: Elite" premium service, there are notable differences between the two versions in price and content. The lesser of the two editions is the "Hardened Edition," whereas the higher-priced "Care Package" edition offers some really interesting bonuses.

Possibly the most interesting addition to these special editions is the remote-controlled Dragonfire Drone. That kind of remote-controlled toy is special only to the "Care Package" edition of "Call of Duty: Black Ops 2" and won't be sold in stores. "Call of Duty: Black Ops 2" is in stores Nov. 13, with a score by Jack Wall and Trent Reznor, and is written by David Goyer ("The Dark Knight" trilogy).
