I don't think this is accurate. Based on the FAQ it sounds like its included in all launch copies of the game not just pre-orders. The misinformation is probably due to the retailers who list this as a pre-order bonus.

Vonderhaar specifically used the word "pre-order" in terms of the Nuketown 2025 issues.

Then my mistake. I was going by that news aggregate web site.
Interesting, thanks for linking that.
I wonder why they are making Domination round based now?

Partially a concession to e-sports, because certain map layouts favor one team over the other. It's a good change even for those who don't buy into competitive COD.

Thats dumb. There's no teamwork in COD anyway. Everybody does their own thing.
EDIT- And what Cosmo said.

Play with friends and communicate? Teamwork is all my friends and I know.
There is when you actually have friends to play with.
Besides, this seems like a great way to alleviate any map imbalances for one side.
This is a great move for everyone who plays CoD.
Seems like a good move for the most part, what is your problem with it? The only negative I can see is that it will make each game take a bit longer.
As someone who plays Domination way more than any other gametype that seems fine for me. Unless it's a 100% perfectly symmetrical map one team is going to get screwed on getting to the middle territory (how unbalanced this has been has always varied from map to map in every game). I'm assuming that it's still the same 3 capture points, but that the teams basically swap their starting points for the second round. Seems fair to me.
I do get the complaints though in that maybe you've set up base really well at a particular territory or whatnot and will lose that if it's in the first round and it forces the round change. Personally I'm willing to break each game into two "mini" games (if you will) to have a completely level playing field. I suppose it's hard to say 100% for sure without playing it, but at least on paper I'm okay with it.

There's a certain rhythm you have with continuous play. You can have a whole area on lock for the whole match. Breaking domination into rounds is going to kill all that.

Yes but is the old way gone or this is just a new extra way to play it? Why scrap the old way and force one new way for the user when you could have 2 ways to play and appeal to more people. This always baffles me.
I get that, and that is kinda what I am concerned about as well. I like how dom can be rythmatic in how you can play it and it flows smoothly. So I hope this change won't screw that up too much.
But this kinda is why they are making the change it sounds like. There are scenarios on certain maps where ya you can easily lock down both an exterior and the b flag and hold them a lot easier than the other side can. It's not always due to being 'better' than the other team either, it's just the map layout.
This change will make that more fair.

Blops sold the most because people were pissed that Activison flat out refused to patch MW2 & they wanted a MW game that wasn't broken.
Blops ended up being a disappointment & less people bought MW3 because of it. MW3 was also a disappointment & even less people will buy Blops 2.

I don't think so. I think more people will buy BO2 but only because it looks really good compared to both MW3 and BO and also looks to have significant mp improvements instead of just "copy paste" like the last 2 were.

It's a great idea. Not all maps are fair, this makes it fair.
If it ran at 720p, it still would be a step up from the other versions. DF will let us all know whats what between the 3 versions.

Domination is my favorite gametype and it seems like this is a change for the better. But it seems like when it comes to COD, people treat words like "fair" and "balanced" as negatives.
There are always ways around unbalanced maps. I just don't see it working well with a gametype that is so focused on the "flow" of the map. Personally I feel it kind of runs the adrenaline of it all.

Its controls are better than a keyboard and mouse?

In my opinion:
Mouse > Wiimote
Nunchuk > keyboard
So... 50/50.
And from what I understand, Wii U is getting Nuketown, but same pre-order deal, even though it comes later.
Round-based Dominations? Sounds neat, would alleviate some concerns of assymetrical map design like MW3's Mission where one team's able to throw a grenade to the middle capture point from their base at A and the other team can't (from C).
YES.
YES.

I'm really excited about this COD, something i haven't been about a COD game since MW2. But now that the game is floating around out there i really want to see some PS3 footage, I don't want this to be like BlOps was at launch.
