Call of Duty Black Ops 2 adding microtransaction to PS3 and PC

Microtransactions isn't a new thing for Black Ops because it has been previously released on the Xbox 360 beforehand. Black Ops 2 players were able to purcahse in game perks like extra slots to create more classes, and more space to upload images and videos to their channels. The price for adding these perks to your game were 160 Microsoft points ($2 US Dollars)


These types of microtransactions are about to be released on the PS3 and PC versions of Black Ops 2. This will all be released for the PS3 and the PC version of Black Ops 2 on April 12, 2013. Also gamers on these platforms will be able to download Nuketown 2025 for free on April 12.

I know many gamers do not like the thought of microtransactions being involved in their games. In this case I don't mind because it doesn't provide players with unfair competitive advantage. Games that have these transactions that creates a pay to win incentive for gamers to go through microtransactions. Its great that this is only cosmetic bonuses because these are stuff I am sure Black Ops 2 gamers are willing to purchase. Many do complain that they need more class slots, and space to upload videos and images to their channel. In the future I hope Activision doesn't push gamers to go through microtransactions to obtain more class slots   when the game launches. I hope they continue to go with this route that allows gamers to obtain these class slots through their prestige system. Rather than having players pay for class slots, and give players the options to obtain classes if they want to pay for it

Call of Duty Black Ops: MLG Dallas Grand Final- Fairko vs Unite

Last week there was a very competitive call of duty black ops event hosed by MLG (Major League Gaming). Many teams came to this event, but the two teams in the final scrapped their way to the grandest stage of them all in Call of Duty Black Ops 2.

The match up is between Fairko vs Unite. These two teams are very popular in the Call of Duty pro circuit, so it was only fitting these two teams faced each other in the finals

Below is a video link of my favorite round in this match up. I believe round 5 was the funnest round to watch between these two teams

Also here is the final round in that battle

Winner of the event: Fairko Impact they showed the pro gaming community that they are the must beat team in Call of Duty Black Ops 2. This team's teamwork is just uncanny, and they are very skilled. It looks like they will be owning the MLG circuit for months to come. Being on the top means that many teams will be gunning for them, so they will have to make sure they are on their "A" game.

 Fariko Impact Owned MLG Dallas this weekend proving they are an elite team in Call of Duty
