As usual, Call of Duty is taking a bit of flak for announcing this year’s collectible editions, one of which is a $180 Black Ops 2 Care Package that comes with, believe it or not, your very own remote control UAV patterned after the Dragonfire Drone in the game. Detractors are already declaring what a silly offering this is on the basis that they have never paid more than $80 or $100 for any collector’s edition of anything.
Okay, admittedly the $180 price tag is really high. This much is apparent to anyone. Whether it’s ridiculous or not totally depends on your budget though. After all, if you don’t have a lot of money, the people saying they’d only pay $100 for a collectible game probably already sound absurd to you—so what’s the big deal about paying $180? Consider that a UAV by itself would probably cost you $100 or more anyway, and that the rest of the content (the same as the Hardened edition) costs the same amount of money that you’d pay for the Hardened Edition anyway. You can buy the Hardened Edition if that’s all you can afford—or even just pre-order the basic game if you don’t want to pay the extra $20 for the collector’s edition. So why shouldn’t Treyarch and Activision release a special Care Package edition for people who can afford it?
Whether or not the Care Package is worth it depends on your budget and just how big a COD fan you are. The fact is that Call of Duty has a lot of haters, which happens anytime something becomes as popular as COD is. That’s why so many people are saying that this is an extravagant thing. It has nothing to do whatsoever with the value that is being offered. Frankly it’s pretty cool that these guys worked on getting an actual flyable UAV put together which has the same basic design as the ones you use in the game. And that they then made that available to their biggest fans is really a creative gesture.
There’s a reason COD is popular—the game has a lot more fans than haters. If you’re a huge fan of COD, this franchise is probably a big part of your life considering how long it’s been around. If $200 isn’t out of your budget for something that makes you happy, there’s no reason you shouldn’t get your own UAV on November 13th with your collector’s edition of Black Ops 2.

i really don’t care about the price its not like I’m rich or something but something thats cost 180 is really nothing to me since thats half my budget of the month if I didn’t spend my money on this then i would just spend my money on other crap i don’t need
Too expensive
i think the price is reasonable, the UAV would cost around $100, but as much as i’d love to have it i dont have the extra $100 laying around to buy it, so i just went with the Hardened edition
Well for a collector the price is just fine but really your paying $100 for the quadrotor and care package i mean id rather buy the hardened edition
im getting that uav nd ima fly it. go hard or go home COD4LIFE
plus u get the zombie nuketown map, but does it include subscription for BO/Elite?
I really like the outlook of this article. Regardless of what others think or how much it costs, if it makes you happy and you have the coin, “Why not?”
I like the idea of a Drone Quadcopter being included in this package. So many friends claimed they were for sure not buying Black Ops II yet long behold they’ve managed to beat me to the ore-order.
I have looked everywhere for the care package, finally found it at gamersoutlet.net and I talked to them today and they have a few left. Good luck fellow gamers
