14 DAY TRIAL // Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 has just received a brand new title update on the Xbox 360 platforms that includes different tweaks, adjustments and improvements, but also sets the stage for the debut of new microtransactions that will arrive tomorrow, March 13.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 has received a variety of new patches in recent months after the release of the Revolution DLC on the Xbox 360 first and then on the PC and PS3.
Now, a brand new patch has just been rolled out according to Activision community manager Dan Amrich, who also mentioned that, besides different bug fixes and improvements, the update sets the stage for the debut of new microtransaction items.
More specifically, players will be able to buy from the in-game store lots of different things, from personalization packs for weapons, including a bacon-themed one, to extra slots, flags of different countries, and two special maps, Nuketown 2025, which is free, and Nuketown Zombies, which will cost a certain amount of money.
Check out a list of some of the things available as microtransactions below, via Amrich's blog.
Personalization Packs
Like dress-up for your favorite weapons. Each themed pack contains a unique weapon camo, three targeting reticles (one each for the Reflex, EO Tech, and ACOG sights), and a custom player Calling Card. All that stuff comes as a set for 160 MS Points.
Nuketown 2025
Folks have been asking me about the pre-order bonus map’s wide availability for some time now, so here it is – and it’s free, so all players can enjoy it together.
Nuketown Zombies
If you didn’t get Nuketown Zombies as part of the Hardened or Care Package limited editions of the game, now you can get it as a standalone level for 400 MS Points.
Extra Slots Pack
This one’s for the players who requested even more loadouts and/or are fans of Theater Mode. You can now get 10 more Create-a-Class slots (giving you 20 total if you’ve gone all the way up to Prestige Master) and significantly expand your media storage, allowing you to archive 20 more emblems, 32 more films and 40 more screenshots for 160 MS Points.
Flags of the World Calling Card Packs
These packs include national flag-themed Calling Cards from countries around the world. Packs are divided by geographical region and costs 80 MS Points per region pack.
Amrich emphasizes that all these items are optional and don't bring any advantage to players during actual online matches.
Expect more details to appear tomorrow, once the microtransactions go live.
