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.

-Ryder- COD needs to hurry up and die already. they are just giving us the same thing year after year and knowing the whole world of 13 year olds will buy this game, they know it will be a success.


I guess Gears of War 1, 2, and 3 are all the same game because they barely change right?

It's called a sequel. Keep blaming record breaking sales on kids, it makes you look REAL stupid lmao.


lol.. COD4 and WAW were proper games... as they continued... 4 games later.... its gets VERY repetitive, plus its the same game with SLIGHT changes. TRUST ME. in no way am i EVER buying another new COD game. that goes for anyone else that reads this. i'm not hating on COD. but they truly ruined the series. if u don't like my opinion, too bad for u. those are my thoughts.

Each new cod game will probably beat its predecessor in sales

I didn't doubt it would, the first black ops broke records as well.
Even though I don't like COD, I'll be playing this one. Because zombies are really fun and entertaining.
