Today’s Call of Duty: Black Ops II
title update on Xbox 360 includes the various tweaks, adjustments, and
improvements you would expect, but tomorrow — Wednesday, March 13 – you
might also notice some new, optional in-game purchases called Micro
Items. This content contains either personal customizations or nice
little luxuries that I’ve seen players request; none of them affect
gameplay, but they are small, specific ways to enhance your online
experience. Full information will be available at callofduty.com tomorrow, but here’s a snapshot of what will be offered starting later this week:
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.
One notable example: the Bacon Personalization Pack (!) wraps your
favorite weapon in the most delicious cured meat known to man. I like
that Treyarch has a sense of humor.
Everything is better with bacon…right?
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.
At the end of the day, all of these items are completely optional,
and were created for players who’ve asked for more customization
options. If that’s not you, that’s fine; everybody gets Nuketown 2025
for free, so definitely take advantage of that. For complete info, check
out the official site starting tomorrow. And yes, these will be coming
to other platforms as well; when I know a date, I’ll post about it.
