Regardless of the sales power of the other tent-pole releases of this year, few games – including the likes of FIFA 13 – have the capability to compete with Medal of Honour titles in terms of sales, and it is beyond doubt that this year’s addition to the franchise will continue the trend and be among the very highest selling games of the year. And though there will be some who see the annual Call of Duty release as the epitome of what is wrong with modern gaming, that has as much to do with the quality of the game as it does brand recognition.
GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 leap up due to summer sales
Wow, good games never get old I guess.
CoD will always be a beast of a franchise, and how awesome is it that you can just boot it up or pop it into your Xbox and play, MS BC is really a neat feature.
Many players on social media are now reporting unannounced matchmaking fixes have been put in place by Activision ranging from Call of Duty 3 to Modern Warfare 2 to Black Ops 2, on Xbox 360. Players are reporting that player counts are updating, lobbies forming, and matchmaking times have been reduced. Neither Activision nor Microsoft have commented on the matter when reached out to at this time. This is currently impacting both 360 and BC versions of the games. PS3 is not affected at this time.

Multiple users coming forward saying the games are finally working again after years of server issues. Note that not all issues such as player counts are totally fixed at this time however matchmaking is fully working again. With legacy Call of Duty games releasing on Game Pass within the next 2 years, it does make sense for these servers to eventually be corrected. Good to see the preservation of these legendary games. Hopefully PS3 receives the same treatment for these legacy titles!

Imagine that.
Conspiracy theory: MS have been planning on purchasing ABK for a long time. They let Sony outbid them for having console-exclusive CoD stuff/being first for certain dlc so the PlayStation player base would increase.
Years later, MS buy ABK, with plans to make CoD either exclusive/platform exclusive features etc with the release of a new console (Xbox Series X2?) So the established CoD player base migrates over to their platform, taking a huge percentage off Sony?
Wild theory
Game Rant Writes "Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 has been available for 10 years, and in that time, no other entry has topped its weapon balance and variety."
Although Black Ops 2 is one of the more loved entries in the series, there seemed to be an overall lack of recoil when I played back in the day, which made the guns feel toy-like. The overall art style didnt really sit well with me at the time either. A bit too cartoony. I think zombies could have been cool, but on the PS3, playing splitscreen made the frame rate drop to unplayable levels.
No problem. I know it won't be MY GOTY, thats all I care about.
Fall this year is pretty stale for me at least probably because I remember last year being so epic because of Batman AC. Also COD wont be GOTY but Im sure ill have a blast with the MP. I already tried it and its same old same old but still fun. LBP Vita deserves handlheld goty if not overall goty for how crazy it is to have that experience on the go.
Ill be getting NFS and COD and maybe Liberation for the Vita. Cant wait for next year GOW , killzone mercenary , Bioshock and GTA damnn those alone are enough to keep you occupied all year long.
No. This is Treyarch... How did they go from "possibly the worst developer in the industry" to "AAA team"?
They didn't.
Don't care if its GOTY, I just want my Care Package now.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahah...........
NO
