I played it for about half an hour today and I'm so disappointed. They ruined domination with the stupid switch sides, flag reset, and time limit.I just cant go back to playing this.

I'm having loads of fun playing halo 4. I really hoped Ops 2 was going to be like Ops 1.

I think that' sthe problem I'm having with it.

Thats too bad. I'm on 360 and it's been pretty smooth so far. There are a few connection issues here and there but for the most part it's been okay.

SMGs are really good at this game but I think they did a good job in creating good line of sights for all classes. Snipers have been running rampant every game I play. Sometimes it's even been a bit annoying. I think they finally managed to get it right that SMGs should be winning against assault rifles in close range and ARs are not all powerful guns in the game.

If I were you I'd probably try playing some other objective based team modes than free for all since FFA tends to have the smallest maps selected for it (and hence SMGs). You'll get a true taste of the game by trying everything it has to offer rather than being one dimensional.

Just goes to show how forums/internet don't equal the real world. I doubt there will even be many threads made about the game (aside from sales) despite its popularity. Anyway, I'm getting it with my Wii U on Sunday. Should be fun.

There are no numbers relesed yet but the game outsold Modern Warfare 3.

"Although numbers are yet to be revealed, it was reported that the new Call of Duty title was able to outperform the record sales Modern Warfare 3 set last year. Considered as the “most ambitious Call of Duty ever”, Activision’s Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 set a “historic launch” that has “humbled” game publisher giant. As stated by CEO Eric Hirshberg:"

8 million is not WW.

It just proved the news from Metro is wrong,the 8 million is wrong,not it's not worldwide,they said it's worldwide,but they're wrong or it just a number from their guess,that's it.

I already said this news isn't official,but just you act like it's official and keep "blah blah blah it's not WW it's US+UK",it's so fucking funny you think i said BO2 sold less than MW3 but my first reply in this thread already said "I don't think so".

I'm on 360 too and like I said, no technical issues for me really except the occasional lag. And yes, SMGs should win at close range, I just don't like how 95% of my encounters are CQB. I've also never been shot in my back soo much, lol. I'm sticking with FFA because it's all I ever play, I'm not gonna gonna try to force myself to like it that much. I told myself I'd give it a solid week of play and that's what I'm gonna try and do. It's not a big deal, I have Halo 4 multi which is really good. Since MW2 though, I've liked to break things up with some COD multi but it looks like that trend is comming to an end for me. For now at least.

Official words from Activision Blizzard.

“With first day sales of over half a billion dollars worldwide, we believe Call of Duty is the biggest entertainment launch of the year for the fourth year in a row.

Life-to-date sales for the Call of Duty franchise have exceeded worldwide theatrical box office receipts for “Harry Potter” and “Star Wars,” the two most successful movie franchises of all time. Given the challenged macro-economic environment, we remain cautious about the balance of 2012 and 2013."

$500 million in 24 hours... 25% more revenue than Modern Warfare 3.

The 8 million for US + UK seems right after all.

That's over 8.1 million,and not surprised even closeto 8.5 million(or more) since it doesn't have limited 360 this time

Oh btw,it didn't said any record this time,and it's 500million worldwide,400million was US+UK (http://www.vg247.com/2011/11/11/mw3-sells-6-5-million-units-worldwide-in-first-24-hours/
