That's $1,000,000,000 wasted.

Call of Duty: Black Ops

15% Luck
15% Skill
70% Lag

And since it used the exact same engine as the previous two games, it probably cost them $10 million to make and made more than Titanic and almost as much as Avatar. The budget on Avatar was 237 million.

Finished it, it's rubbish. Preferred Medal of Honor, but that's rubbish too. I still play ARMA 2 all the time.

 

[gmarsack]

Totall agree killerclick. It was installed for all of about an hour on my PC and then uninstalled... waste of time.

Too bad it's 90% 10 year old's who play. What kid with a Box/PS3 doesn't have, "Duty" ? It's more mainstream garbage than MTV is.

So, who has seen this??

 

[Zerk]

600 million hours?

LOL, and thats just the MP.

Wait? is there a SP?

oh well whatever.

So lets see thats roughly 16 million copies sold on all consoles, and PC.
Roughly 10 million copies sold in the first 5 days.
Not really all that impressive when you look at it like that.

Seems to me after the initial first week of people bought the game word of mouth got out that its not really any different than the past 3 games and it kind of tapered....

Oh well Ill wait and see what the real call of duty people will do with there NEW IP since they are no longer with Infinity Ward.

then they cant complain about piracy....

Could've hit $2 billion if there was freaky alien sex in the game

 

[kingnoobe]

I don't care much for MW2, I like black ops a lot better. But to each his own.

Cool- But way overrated- ! Game isnt that nice as it could have been also due to its engine. Not well optimized..

 

[christop]

Lot of money..

Oh they can and they will. They'll look at piracy and say OMG we could have made 200 million more profit on top of the 990 million we just made! SUE THEM!

600 million hours... probably about 20 million "playable" hours. SOOO much lag. Probably last COD I'll be buying. All hype.

 

[Guest]

Wait, what about all the piracy & lost revenue due to people using the game illegally? oh wait, those concerns are only for games & media most people don't really want...

 

[nebun]

[citation][nom]blubbey[/nom]600 million hours in just over 6 weeks? That's impressive.[/citation]
that just tell you how addictive this game is, i wished the dx11 graphics were a little better

I'm still playing bf 2142 until a more complete BF comes out, I think many BF players would agree that 2142 is the most immersive\complete BF game. BC2 and COD's is fun but i get that tiny map feeling way too often. Maybe BF3 will bring some hope. FPS's on console just doesn't cut it for me so I might pick COD7 for pc when it gets around $30.
