Black Ops Has Made A Cool Billion Bucks.

December 21st, 2010 by Caffeine Powered

Not that I ever doubted the Call of Duty juggernaut, but I’m still fucking impressed. Today, Activision announced that Black Ops has surpassed one-billion dollars in worldwide sales. Jesus Lord. That’s a lot of motherfuckers playing, which is why it makes sense that  to this date “more than 600 million hours have been logged.”

Shit is selling at an impressive clip, outpacing last year’s Modern Warfare 2. This is undoubtedly awesome news to Treyarch fanboy and fangirl assholes, who will assuredly be parlaying this information into forthcoming message board arguments.

Activision Devil Guru Bobby Kotick was absolutely stroking his cock in virgin blood when he commented:

“In all of entertainment, only Call of Duty and “Avatar” have ever achieved the billion dollar revenue milestone this quickly. This is a tribute to the global appeal of the Call of Duty franchise, the exceptional talent at Treyarch and the hundreds of extraordinary people across our many Call of Duty studios including Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer that work tirelessly on the franchise.  Our ability to provide the most compelling, immersive  entertainment experience, and enhance it with regular, recurring content that delivers hundreds of hours of audience value, has allowed Call of Duty to continue to set sales and usage records.”

Can’t stop. Won’t stop. Call of Duty don’t quit!

    Jesus, dude… I knew it would sell, but I honestly thought people might be starting to get sick of CoD and might hold off on this one… though that certainly wasn’t the case for me. I’ve already played this one more than I played MW2, though I still think the campaign was a pile of shit :p

    I play shockingly little of Blackops. It isn’t because I don’t enjoy it, but I haven’t had the time/inclination to choose it over WoW or homework, or reading. Now with break upon me, I’m hoping to dive into it a bit more. I liked MW2, I like this shit. I think I don’t play it enough to have a discerning taste. Does it control well? Yes. Can I shoot guns and throw grenades? Yes. I’m sold!

    I like the MP significantly more than MW2 because of a few simple things: No Juggernaut perk, no Stopping Power perk, no Martyrdom perk, decreased explosive damage and no ridiculously powerful grenade launcher bullshit. Also, the fact that you can’t earn killstreaks by getting kills with other killstreak rewards balances out the game a hell of a lot. These few little things took a multiplayer experience that I liked but ultimately couldn’t put up with and turned it into something I’ve put probably 50+ hours into in just a month.
