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.

At the end of the day for the price you pay you are still getting more than what you would from any other game out there so it's not surprising this is the case. As for all you guys saying it's getting worse, why don't you actually think about what you get compared to other games available to pre order at the moment.

iJarH3ad I'm not sure if I'm the only one.

It seem that every Call of Duty games is getting worst and worst.

I'm proud not to buy Call of Duty games anymore.

Just admit it, Call of Duty 4 is the one of the BEST game of all time and nothing will beat that incredible game, end of story.


I'm not sure if I'm the only one.

It seems that every new COD game out sells the previous COD game, and is always the #1 most played game on XBL until the next COD comes out.


not sure if you for or against CoD, but just because something sells alot does not mean it is good in anyway shape or form

I'm only getting BO2 for Zombies. Although I say that, I know I will find myself playing the multiplayer sometimes.

I hate when they post this bullshit... everyone already knows that the next call of duty is always going to beat the previous one. When one doesn't then go ahead and post that, cause that would be something id like to see.
