As with many retail games today, the recently announced Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 will have access to special content for those who pre-purchase it at Gamestop. Instead of one batch of items, the numerous bonuses will be released in four separate waves. The first wave will include a limited edition two-sided poster, and a rare Prestige token for use in Modern Warfare 3. It is also confirmed that preordering will net gamers access to all future waves.
