That one has a 90 average rating on the platf

Hopefully the base game gets a discount soon as well.The release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 1 and 2 on PlayStation didn't bring about any changes to the Xbox versions in terms of how they play, but a few changes were evidently made to the how they've been priced on the Microsoft Store.To be honest, we don't tend to track DLC price changes all that often, but lots of people have been reporting over the past few days that over 30 pieces of DLC have suddenly become free for Black Ops 2 specifically
