Following all of the Black Ops 2 Championship news is a bit of DLC, one of which involves BACON! It may or may not come as a surprise to you, but we here at The Game Fanatics are huge lovers of bacon. During one of our community game nights, don’t be surprised if you see one or three of us dawning the following gun camo.

Bacon

The bacon personalization pack is only one of nine new packs that will include weapon skin, three new reticles (reticles will only be available for ACOG, EOTECH and Red Dot scopes), and a calling card. All three will be themed to the pack. Some of the packs include a Dia De Los Muertos theme, Graffiti, and even Kawaii. Each pack can be purchased on XBLA for 160 MS points. If you care to look at all nine new themes, look no further.

The above link will also lead you to a new set of calling cards from around the world, as well as an extra slots pack for you classes.

Originally, Nuketown 2033 was only available to players who purchased Black Ops 2 at launch, but the map is now available to everyone for free. Another previous exclusive to Collectors Edition owners or season pass subscribers, the Nuketown Zombies map is available to purchase for 400 MS points.
