You may want to reconsider. PC Blops is HORRIBLY optimized. MW2/MW3 actually runs nicely...Blops terrible. From personal experience, MW2/3 runs great on all systems while Blops was a disaster on both PS3/PC
I know people have complained about the PC version of Blops, but maybe my computer is just odd, but I was able to run BLOPs on my PC very well and my computer sucks.
Will buy this when it comes out but not pre-order
but black ops 1 wasn't going up against battlefield 3This is self-defeating. It claims that Black Ops 2 is on track to do better than Black Ops1 and MW3 because the preorders are 10x Black ops 1 and 1.3x MW3, but also has to admit that MW3 preorders > Black Ops pre-orders, when we all know that MW3 hasn't sold as well as Black Ops in the long run.
Thus, first day pre-orders mean fuck all, and this press release is meaningless.
And to top it all off, it's not even comparing like-for-like, as BO2 was announced far later in the year than either of its predecessors, meaning more people were always going to be itching to preorder it. Compare the first 3 months of BO1 or MW3 preorders to day 1 BO2 pre-orders for a fair comparison.
Treyarch at this point is vastly superior to the shell of IW left by the exodus, so BLOPS2 has to be better than the shitfest that was MW3. Kinda curious as to what they'll do, but good good, it's so ugly.
Same release date as Halo 4 huh. Studio 343, your move.
Yeah, myself and quite a few of my friends were rolling at the 92 fps lock for 99% of hour 200+ hours on mid-tier videocards.
It is a week before but that is still way to close. I really think they are going to lose sales due to this. So many FPS fans will be looking forward to Blops2, I wonder if they will pick up another time intensive shooter only 7 days earlier.
Honestly I'm still not sure why so many dislike MW3 here...
The campaign was a fun romp for me like any COD campaign, and the multiplayer plays just like previous CODs...though I did only play it for a few months, but I don't recall anything so different about it...certainly not to the point that it's a "shitfest".

I'm surprised that its higher. The trailer was such an indecipherable clusterfuck. Maybe that appeals to the bros? DUDE DID YOU SEE THE NEW BLOPS TRAILER? I HAVE NO FUCKING IDEA WHAT'S GOING ON, SO IT MUST BE GOOD.
The audience is annoying, but I can live with them. But now they're really starting to be sheep.

The creativity of the industry is going bankrupt at this rate.
The haters are far more irritating.
For serious.I know, remember those generations before when we used to get games like Journey, Flower, and Catherine? Now it's 100% bro games.
Which basically means it makes no sense. ROBOTS, THEN DRONES, THEN AN OLD ZOMBIE TALKING, THEN AN APC, THEN HORSES, ALL WHILE DURING EXPLOSIONS. THEY NEED MEN LIKE US OH YEAH SO EPIC.The trailer wasn't hard to decipher at all... It was a typical COD trailer.
Arent people tired of always playing the same new Call of Duty every year, just with different maps and guns for 60$? Or are they really adding new interesting stuff? Sorry, havent played a Call of Duty game for years.

At least I could pretend to follow along with the original mw's threadbare story. This is just them ripping off tom Clancy, poorly.
Not to sound mean really, but you have no room to talk then.

But that's why im asking, why are they so popular? I always had the feeling that new Call of Duty games only changed the maps and guns with only slight improvements in gameplay and graphics, so if they're really adding more stuff to make it worthwhile to pay 60$ every year, then i want to know.

Damn seriously? Fucking WHY????
I saw the trailer, it looks like garbage ( graphics wise, let's be honest here those textures were disgusting and I'm no graphics whore ) graphics wise. Sure we don't know much about the gameplay but aside from the fact it might not be as linear as previous games, it's probably gonna be more of the same.
I think this is a very sad trend in the gaming industry.
I talked to a few very big call of duty fans who play only that and Fifa, and they said this looked stupid more like Halo. I didn't bother arguing with them because it looks nothing like halo but eh.. they will probably buy it anyway.
Sales are likely getting more front-loaded. It wouldn't surprise me if total sales don't exceed Black Ops.
I'm sorry but that preview trailer looked like shit to me.
Heavily front loaded sales plus a different feel and look to this COD peaks interest for everyone. I was one of those that said I was probably done with COD, but BO2 is a nice change up from previous installments it seems so my interest has been rekindled. Now......the chances of them repackaging it every year from here on out start to get slimmer and slimmer. Interest will fade more than likely after this installment.
Not only that but they seem to be the only console FPS to actually run at 60 frames. I thought MW3 looked fantastic for the amount of shit going on and the fact that it ran at a fairly rock solid 60 frames.What some people seem to forget is that the CoD games are still excellent FPS. Sure the engine is old and the gameplay might be more of the same but it's still better than most of the other games out there. Well, this year there's Halo 4 but i dont think there's a single PS3 FPS to get excited for besides BLOPS2.
Yep. MW3 opened better than BlOps and is tracking behind it, and I imagine that this will open better than MW3 and track even behind that.
