People will argue that Black Ops brings replayability like no other title, but at the end of the day..Activision are still grabbing money at every opportunity possible.

Take this upcoming Limited Edition for example..$59.99 for the same game, with First Strike DLC with it.. why not Escalation or Annihilation too Activision?

Oh no says Bobby, that would be giving the community far too much, we can't have that can we?

PROCEED WITH MAP PACK 4. FULL STEAM AHEAD.

That's pretty dirty tbh.. what's the point rereleasing the game with just 1 of the 3 DLC packs?

Personally though, I don't mind the DLC as it means more map options when you play. Seeing how close the map packs were released though will undoubtedly piss off quite a few people but I'd personally be happy if more companies adopted the same approach providing the quality isn't compromised. Still it would be nice for a free map now and again to show some loving for the loyal consumers who buy each map pack.

C'mon...do you REALLY have to ask them that. :p

On a side note, Annihilation I can understand since it's fairly recent, but they could have thrown in Escalation.

Black Ops 1 Nuketown versus Cold War Nuketown '84

From DownSights: "Black Ops is not Black Ops without Nuketown. Following the tradition of releasing Nuketown for Black Ops games, the new Black Ops Cold War game also offers a revamped Nuketown called Nuketown '84.

Nuketown '84 has the same dimensions and map layout except for the aesthetics. The map's aesthetics have changed to fit the 80s theme, with destroyed buildings and graffiti-filled walls compared to a clean 50s suburban neighborhood seen in Black Ops 1."
