The level All Ghillied Up from the 1st Modern Warfare game will be featured in Black Ops 2 (referenced, side story, etc).

Viktor Revnov (and Gary Oldman) comes back but a real character and not a fake identity thing. 

The opening week sales for xbox360 will be 6.6 million (1 million less than MW3) and have total lifetime sale less than 3 million compared to MW3.

The opening week sales for ps3 will be  4.3 million (700k less then MW3) and have total lifetime sale less than 2 million compared to MW3.

The next competing EA FPS likely Medal of Honor 2 will not outsell Black Ops 2.

What's up with all these prediction threads lately? :P

Opening week: X360 - 8,4 million PS3 - 5,7 million
Lifetime: X360 - 15 million PS3 - 12,5 million

Oh, and Medal of Honor will outsell that.

10% lower than MW3 opening week on both platforms. Lifetime .. no idea

The same as MW3, whatever that was. From then on I expect sharp decline. Oh, and shouldn't this be in the sales discussion forum?

It'll be better than MW3.

I think so too. The next one is where the decline starts.

Edit: Assuming you're talking about sales.

Sales will be on par or slightly worse than those of MW3. The console userbase is growing, and I don't see COD popularity waning in any way, so no clue why the franchise should deteriorate so rapidly according to some.

I prefer Treyarch story, although cinematics are not as breathtaking as MW series, they're still good. And the story in WaW and Blops was engaging.

Medal of Honor stands no chance of outselling this, maybe lucky if half the sales.

Black Ops will likely easily sell 20+ million copies and be the best selling game of the year.

More than MW3 - no idea how much it will be though

I predict it will be extremely similar to MW3, Black Ops, and even MW2.
