And once again, Call of Duty breaks yet another record...

Quote :

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 is officially GameStops’s most pre-ordered title to date. The retailer has also predicted that the game is likely to be its ‘biggest game launch of all time’.

IGN reports that the statement includes comment from GameStop president Tony Bartel, in which he said, “consumer anticipation for Call of Duty: Black Ops II is tremendous. We are seeing the highest pre-orders in history. With its current pace, this Call of Duty is on track to break records and is likely to be our biggest game launch of all time.”

That suggests big numbers indeed. Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 also received a launch trailer last night. If you missed it, hit the link below. Oh and crank up your speakers for a loud dose of AC/DC.

The game launches worldwide on November 13th.

To be honest, some of the hate Call of Duty gets is really unnecessary. I mean, the games aren't THAT bad. And beside the broken Multiplayer, the campaign and specOps/Zombie modes are pretty fun to play.

It looks like it's not slowing down any time soon.

Nope. It seems the casual market is taking over. Gets stronger year on year, and more publishers will see this and try to replicate, whether it be more FPS's games, or more games becoming more streamlined and OTT action.

Sad times.

I dont hate call of duty but I am kind of sick of all its sales. I dont blame activision for getting these sales, but I cant help but wish these sales go towards other games that need it. I want the gaming industry to expand in other ways than shooters.

It will eventually end.

I put $20 on number Modern Warfare 15.

I may pick up BLOPS 2 when it goes down to like $20 in the discount bin.

That's going to be a long time. MW2 is still $30 and BLOPS is still $40.
