This makes me sad.

[jack who]

DONT BUY THAT SH!T!!

[-MD-]

I love Treyarch's Call of Duty's but I just cannot support this franchise anymore. I didn't buy MW2 and I won't buy this.

[DJKGBYF]

It doesn't matter, for every one person that doesn't buy it, at least five buy it.

[xDaRkModEx]

you mean 20 would buy it ;)

[Montrealien]

yep, for every N4G user that will speak out against Activision, 35 thousand people who have no idea what N4G is, will buy the new Call of Duty.

reality bites

fact of the matter is, I will be buying it, because I like war shooters, and if it is a good game, I could care less about who publishes it, and the politics that surround it. I play games to escape and Activision's business tactics are not important to me. I worry about real world issues when I am not playing video games not this video game diva crap, they are freaking video games after all.

[orange-skittle]

That's because you're either broke or you're no good at it. Either way, I understand. Stay thirsty my friend

[coojo]

cant wait allready preordered on amazon :)

[bjornbear]

dry and stale...

COD has become the Blue Waffle of gaming

[xg-ei8ht]

Here's the game and here's it's people.

On retail shelves and here comes the sheeple.

[dizzleK]

same little bitches,
crying about glitches
they whine and they tear
but drop $60 each year
this dead horse has been beaten to dust,
buy this shit, more good games for the rest of us

[dragonyght]

so much cry for attention...its sad really

[Raptura]

blah blah blah blah blah

[unknown100]

Im buying it just for zombies....im not buying anything that says modern on it or that is from sledghammer games.

[XerockX]

but you will end up getting it anyways.

[Senden]

This won't sell as well as modern warfare 2.. Treyarch makes 7/10 fps games.. united offense, cod3, world at war all seemed to lack that something special which made IW's games stand out.

[xDaRkModEx]

That's because before Treyarch had to make other games while making a cod game. IW only develops cod and cod only. Treyarch had to make Quantum of Solace, Web of Shadows and World at War at the same time!

edit. btw cod uo was an expansion made by Gray Matter Interactive.

[Ps_alm3k]

millions of people will buy it still. *sigh*

[SDF Repellent]

If it is fun and it has great reviews. Isn't that what games is all about?

By some of the comments here, you will not buy the Next Bungie/activision because it will be published by the evil empire.

[jmallymav]

i have no problem with MW2..still own it, i didnt play WoW but will not miss out on blackops

[crapgamer]

Probably sell more then 10 million.If it sticks close to that mark then....
6.5 million on the Xbox 360
2 million on PC
1.5 million on PS3

[Karooo]

11 million 360
8 million PS3.

Why do you need to do this fanboysim? its completely lame

[karl]

=)

[orange-skittle]

But I am getting a copy. You nerds can pledge allegiance and bandwagon follow all you want, but I play games....phuck yall haters. Activision could give a rats azz what you nerds feel on the internet. Look how well your petition did last year when they said NO DEDICATED SERVERS. Give it up

[Tony-A]

No thanks, Activision (sorry Treyarch). I've had my fix and, while I was one who was hoping that COD would come back to take the "throne", I can't do it anymore.

Too much of the same thing. It's what made me get tired of DDR when that was big and Guitar Hero after it. I'm sure it's going to sell a ton anyway, but I'm done.

"Man, I wanna get that COD4 game"
"Oh man, I wanna get that World at War game"
"OMG, I have to get MW2!"
"OMFG, definitely gonna have to get Black OPS"

Are you serious? This isn't Madden, ok? Enough already. That's all I hear from the Call of Duty fiends.

Bring on Medal of Honor. Maybe EA can take care of a franchise.

[Paradise Lost]

I know Treyarch will make this game better...because it's Treyarch and they listen to their community.

They even look in their forums for ideas/bugs !!!

[EliteAssassin81]

I love Treyarch, they make great games. I will be getting this at a midnight launch. They don't let cheaters run their game like IW.

[iliimaster]

you people are sheep if you buy this game thats assuming 3mnths ago they released MW2 ... (just kidding but it seems like it dont it) glitch fest.... this is like buying madden and then buying madden again because they changed the guy on the cover...

[AliTheBrit19]

Yep

It could be a terrible game (not saying it will be) and it would still sell this amount, its all down to the Call of Duty brand name now.

[MetalNCarnet]

I've been on an Activision boycott since last year. (didn't even purchase MW2). Last game I bought was Guitar Hero Metallica (fan). But since then, none.

[gumgum99]

and the sad thing is: It probably will.

sigh...

[biggame901]

It will probably reach this total, but I won't be included in that 10 million. I will not support Activision and their manner of business. Period.

[Bolts]

No matter how generic it is millions will lap it up.

[rezzah]

If you dont believe me then you should draw a couple dots on paper and call it Pokemon. No matter what you say it wont be the same. (cod 3 and 5)

[L3W15-3AFC]

i wont be buying this, that is for sure.

I LOVED COD4 like most of the World population and enjoyed COD5, but Modern Warfare 2 was a step to far, i think i didnt like it as much because i had better games to play at the time.

I wont be buying this though, il rent it for a week and play through the story ok, and im sure il enjoy it but i wont be buying it.
