Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, the predecessor to Black Ops, also accumulated over $1 billion in global retail sales but it took the game slightly longer to do so. Last month, Black Ops set a new record for the video game industry by selling 5.6 million copies (more than $360 million) on its first day and then broke theatrical box office, book, and video game sales records for five-day worldwide sell through in dollars (more than $650 million).

Black Ops is the seventh installment of the popular Call of Duty military-themed shooter franchise. Activision Blizzard originally said that it did not expect Black Ops to outperform Modern Warfare 2 even though two months ago it said preorders for the former were selling faster than those for the latter did.
"In all of entertainment, only Call of Duty and "Avatar" have ever achieved the billion dollar revenue milestone this quickly," Bobby Kotick, CEO of Activision Blizzard, said in a statement. "This is a tribute to the global appeal of the Call of Duty franchise, the exceptional talent at Treyarch and the hundreds of extraordinary people across our many Call of Duty studios including Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer that work tirelessly on the franchise. Our ability to provide the most compelling, immersive entertainment experience, and enhance it with regular, recurring content that delivers hundreds of hours of audience value, has allowed Call of Duty to continue to set sales and usage records."
BC2 sucks! Black Ops RULES!!!
Its World at War all over again. Or COD3. Treyarch. Their games are nothing more than mods of the Infinity Ward games. Bad Company 2 is totally awesome tho and kicks MW2 and Black Ops square in the nuts.
I never purchased MW2, no dedicated server, no sale.
I did buy Black OPs
Bad Company 2 is totally awesome.
Bad Company 2 is the worst game to hit the market this year, sharing the podium with Medal of Honor.
While the game engine was aesthetically pleasing it is one of the worst performing engines to date.
EA are on a low content game design which only favours EA, they're just going to keep rorting the consumer with paid dlcs until they push Battlefield 3 and then they'll do it all over again.
In the same time it takes most companies to produce a content rich game EA pretends to put out a content poor game with the excuse that they were fine tuning the game, launch of their last two fps titles shows that to be a lie, and then they release content that was ready for release as two paid dlcs.
EA are becoming worse than Activision.
Hooray! The worst 2010 shooter got over a Billion dollars in just over a month!
Best post so far, short and right to the point, BC2 and MOH just way better!
I must admit that i bought Black Ops on release date, i was thrilled and i love the SP-mode, then the Mp-mode just made me love this game even more. I can say that im 1 of those that had/have absolutely no issues with the performance since i hit around 140fps average and i do understand some ppl have major issues on that regard.
The MoH and Bc2 i recently purchased through the steam holiday sales and tbh its not my thing, u might sit there and call me all kinds of ugly things now, but i spend more then half my ingame time running in Bc2 just to be raped by snipers, tanks or heli´s in an instant. The game feels slow and i think there are other issues aswell.
MoH is bad, bad, bad and very bad. dont like anything of it, the maps are too narrow making it a gauntlet so its like being back to cod4 with too much trenchwars.......
What i do like about Black Ops is that the game moves faster then me (on pc that is) meanning if i get better and faster, the game will allow me to. but Bc2 will never let me go, it feels like my char is running around with 100 bricks under each arm. Yes i suck at flying a heli (still feel sorry for the last dude i killed by crash) and with the small amount of time i have playing shooters, cod just lets me rape face right away and the maps are very well made in my opnion, they have diversity, shortcuts, optional routes which increases the dynamic of each game, i do agree some ppl will say its the same each map, but all shooters goes through phases but if u think outside the box it brings me lots of fun ....and frustrations ofc, which is why i like cod, coz obviously if u care...u care.
If u read all of this post i thank u now. happii new year :P
