Updated With Image!

Yep that's right and probably predictable Aswell.
It is called a "UAV Fyler" so far but will most likely be a quadrotor model!

Along with this you can also expect:


  • Exclusive in-game upgrades: Camo & Playercard
  • Exclusive Zombie Map: Nuketown - Take place in the past, so will be Set in the original nuketown and not in 2025.Will only be available in these editions
  • Nuketown 2025 multiplayer map - futuristic remastered version of Nuketown.
  • Steelbook case
  • Ps3 theme
  • Collectors Coins
  • Game Soundtrack


Official Trailer



This will all come in a replica care package box!

The hardened contains the above except the Drone obviously.

So what can we work out?
There will be multiple zombie maps on release.
In game upgrades? These will be a Camo an player are background.

As you can see from the picture the care package is huge!. The quadrotor looks similarly sized to the RC-XD and there are a few other stuff included also.
The steelbook looks crazy!

Now something else which catches my attention is no Elite subscription?
This assumes how elite works will change with Elite v2.

My theory as to why Elite wasn't included is simply because...
This will appeal to everyone. People who didn't want elite for mw3 couldn't get the extra which came with the Hardened edition because elite was the main aspect of the editions.
If Elite didn't interest you and you still wanted all these extras you can now have them without having to worry about elite. It means it's not restricted to those who want an elite membership next year.

In Flames Much?
Interesting business move.....
I have a feeling the marketing team believes elite has been a success and does not need to be added into something like this. Or they have big changes to elite or they want more money!! or something else.

Hardened edition looks decent.

Still £70 is still pushing it a bit, £30 on top of the regular edition :|


Ye I agree its pushing it atleast MW3 Hardened edition was worth it with the game, 1 year of Elite, and all the other stuff, but this just the game and a few maps :(

Yeah I admit that was the best offer, and the rate that they chucked out maps was pretty good.
Hopefully this includes the maps, I don't want to buy Elite on top of this :|
