Black Ops 2 breaks GameStop pre-order record

4.5
Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 has broken pre-order records at retail giant GameStop.

Company president Tony Bartel said today: "Consumer anticipation for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 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."

Last year's Call of Duty game, Modern Warfare 3 recorded "the biggest entertainment launch ever" with an estimated sell-through of more than $400 million and more than 6.5 million units in the US and UK alone in its first 24 hours of availability, according to publisher Activision.

Bartel's comments were delivered as Activision announced that it has reworked its Call of Duty Elite service, which will no longer feature separate premium and free tiers. Instead, all service features will now be free to all, with additional game content to be delivered in four separate packages, which are available to pre-purchase with the Black Ops 2 DLC Season Pass.

Activision has confirmed a Black Ops 2 release date of November 13.

Barbarino I don't see the point in preordering, the store always has enough copies and you save $5.


Its not to guarante you get your copy like the sales person says its more like layaway you can pay now that way in case you dont have the money when the game comes out

With Gamestop the $5 is a deposit on the price of the game. So when you pay that $5 the game only costs $55.

MoDOT This is nothing when GTA 5 comes out BAM 25mil+ but I am one of these people.


there going to BE ALOT MORE THAN THAT! :D


Not everyone pre-orders though. It'll definitely sell a lot though.


modot,no doubt gta will be huge,but look at it this was cod sells 25mill every year,gta 25mill every what 3 or 4 years?so in the time gta sells 25 mill cod will sell 75-100 mill,plus all the dlc they sell.so yes gta will sell huge,idk if it will break cod,but then again many people get both and both have their loyal,i for one like gta but dont ever play it due to cod so i probably won't get gta for a while.
