Why am I not surprised?

Zzzz Zzzz

Did we really expect anything different?

Makes me wonder if the next COD will do better, i honestly didn't think that Black Ops would sell better than MW2.

San Andreas is the game I've spent the most hours playing. It's pretty cool that's it on #5.

Everytime when i ask someone if he likes or hate call of duty they all don't like it. Yet everyone keeps buying.... Im so glad i didn't bought black ops.

I know right?! i remember a lot of people on forums were saying how they weren't gonna buy the game, then they found out that it was gonna have zombies and that was somehow a selling point for a lot of them. Later they come back on the forums after buying it and bitch about how bad the game is, yet they still continue to play it.

MW2 was a huge sucess. I mean everyone got it. I love that game!
Black Ops I thought was gonna be great but less than MW2. Everyone got it. Played it. It sucks.

Americans buying a game about American Black Ops dominating enemies of America namely Russia and Vietnam while the usual power chord music plays when you fly an American jet like the SR-71 and do OTT rappeling from an American Huey and then a massively OTT ending where the entire American Navy is gathered in the same square mile of water while American jets fly over and American flags flutter in the breeze while once again power chords play in the backround?

No way....

You think people bought it for the story? They didn't give a shit about the American drenched campaign, they care about the broken multiplayer.
