Call of Duty: Black Ops

Key Points:

• Microsoft has set the price of Call of Duty: Black Ops 1 and 2 at $39.99 each on PC and Xbox stores, excluding DLC, with individual DLCs priced at $10 and season passes at $30, down from previous $15 and $50 prices respectively.
• Activision plans to launch ports (not remasters) of these classic Treyarch games for PS4 and PS5 in July, but has not announced pricing or DLC details, causing concern among PlayStation fans about potentially high costs for decade-old games.
• If PlayStation prices mirror Microsoft's, players could pay up to $80 for both games plus $140 including season passes, sparking backlash from fans who feel these prices are excessive for older titles with minimal enhancements.
• The original Black Ops and its sequel remain highly regarded, with IGN scores of 8.5/10 and 9.3/10 respectively, and the ports are highly anticipated ahead of this year's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 release.
• The ports are expected to include Campaign, Multiplayer, and Zombies modes, but lack of clarity on DLC and pricing has left the community worried and vocal about the perceived value.
