Does anyone know if the hardened edition will include the DLC map pack season pass? This was the case with MW3, but I can't find this specific info/bullet point on the new hardened edition.

The only reason I'd get the hardened edition is for the season pass, I don't want to pay extra only for shitty merch like collectors coins and soundtracks ! ;)

@porterpj: I don't believe it does. The hardened edition does not look like it's worth $80 to me.

Also I don't want to make a thread just to say this, but Call of Duty Elite will be free for all Black Ops 2 players, no more subscription cost.

I was surprised by this too; not sure why no season pass option. Does anyone know what the collector's coins are for if not maps?

There is a season pass option, it's just not offered as part of Elite. It's $50 and instead of being spread out monthly as it was last year for Elite members, it's split up between the four map packs as it's always been done.

Also, no the Hardened (or even the Care Package) editions of Blops 2 do not have a Season Pass included.
