Black Ops: More Than 2.6 Million Played Online Day One Logging 5.9 Million Multiplayer Hours On XBL

VG247 writes: On the day Black Ops launched, Treyarch’s community manager Josh Olin tweeted the game had over one million players online through Xbox Live.

Last night, Major Nelson tweeted the exact figures, and they’re a bit shocking.

According to two separate tweets, over 2.6 million uniques were logged day one on XBL for Black Ops, and by the end of launch day, over 5.9 million multiplayer hours were logged.

im kinda amazed it didnt do 3 mil like mw2 and reach did...but its taken top spot in live activity anyways so doubt it really matters

Bleucrunch5331d ago

I think this call of duty is the easiest of all of them...their is no skill required to get kills in this game..smh I love reach more because it is more of a challenge and you cant just come and noob your way to kills. When is killzone coming out?

Run + gun + die + respawn
Run + gun + die + respawn
Run + gun + die + respawn
Run + gun + die + respawn
Run + gun + die + respawn

Nothing different for me!
Same old Counter Strike gameplay...

JeffGUNZ5333d ago

At least it's run + GUN now instead of run + noobtube. Run + Knife at lightspeed. Run + Chopper Gunner. Run + no scope.

SixZeroFour5332d ago

i thought it was random tomahawk + run + gun + die + respawn

Bleucrunch5331d ago (Edited 5331d ago )

Yup sounds about right to me...another noob game there is no skill required in Call of Duty that is why everyone likes it so much....Halo, Killzone, and Resistance are much better and are not noob games.

Oh yea bubbles for you bro.

dragonelite5331d ago

killzone 3 is even easier then cod from what i heard from the beta folks. Killzone 2 fans feel betrayed.

JeffGUNZ5332d ago

haha as long as it is noobtube heaven I am fine. Haven't really run into too much random tomahawk action yet.

Halo_Reach5331d ago

Reach and Mw2 was in 24h ... bit different.

Anyway 2.6M x $ for Kotick...

Damn how i hate the fucker

Mannn… worlds scaries police chases… that took me back lol

Ape Escape.
Fun game but, wow, you need a college degree to understand the controls.
A remaster would also save you from having to constantly fight the camera.
Keep the music though. Those drum and bass tracks fit really well and haven't aged. Made me think that more games could work well with drum and bass tracks, but unfortunately it's a somewhat niche genre now.

Abear21138d ago

Max Payne Series
Infamous 1 & 2
NBA Street Vol 2
SSX
Skate

i could have sworn i read somewhere that Remedy is remaking May Payne 1 but things have been quiet lately

YourMommySpoils137d ago

They are making the first one, as we speak.

jznrpg138d ago (Edited 138d ago )

One of the few Xbox games I own. I have 3 copies of it because of the many discs it has, for just in case reasons

jznrpg138d ago (Edited 138d ago )

Xenogears, Xenosaga trilogy, Vagrant Story, Drakengards, Parasite Eve and many more but I’ll start with those

Good hopefully cheating will be normalized.

Most PC gamers cheat and the ones that don't have an advantage, as KB and mouse is the only way to play shooters seriously.
