GameStop president Tony Bartel said: "Consumer anticipation for Call of Duty: Black Ops II 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."

Already the most pre-ordered and we are not even in November yet.

Is this only in the UK?

No, this is Worldwide.

Oh, then vgchartz has this game severely under-tracked.

It amazes me how this series only grows bigger each year.

I have a feeling that this series will never die and continue to be annually released like Madden and Fifa.

BenVTrigger = Tony Bartel ? lulz

Finally! The truth has been revealed. :D

OT: No real suprise (unfortunately IMO) this is the last one I expect to outsell it's predecessor though.

not sure if it means most preordered off all time counting whole preorders of other games like you think or most preordered compared to other games the same time before release but nonetheless it means it is likely to break records and sell more than anything else in history on day one.

i will preorder mine tomorrow so add me to the list of massive preorders

Dont they say this every single year? Every cod is getting bigger, this isnt a suprise.
