The friendly competition between Activision's dual Call of Duty studios has led to something of an arms race. Infinity Ward makes a nuclear blast, so Treyarch makes horrific flamethrower deaths. Infinity Ward makes a hit multiplayer perks system, so Treyarch makes Nazi Zombies. So when the Modern Warfare 2 Prestige Edition included night-vision goggles, perfect for keeping track of that girl who just doesn't understand she's supposed to be with you, Treyarch must have known they had to outdo it somehow. And boy did they.
Activision announced the Hardened and Prestige editions for Call of Duty: Black Ops today, which include most of the usual bonus goodies you'll find in collector's editions -- along with an RC surveillance car for Prestige buyers. The vehicle is based on a bonus perk from the game's multiplayer, and can transmit color video and audio from up to 200 feet away. No price was mentioned for the limited edition package, but it will include all of the goodies from the Hardened Edition as well: a custom Black Ops medal, Avatar outfit, and four cooperative maps.
At this rate, we fully expect Modern Warfare 3 to come packaged with a fiber optic camera hidden in a teddy bear. You know, for that special someone.
