Analysis: Predicting Success of Black Ops Launch

November 9th doesn’t bring the release of the most anticipated game of the year—that honor arguably goes to Blizzard’s Starcraft II--but Activision’s Call of Duty: Black Ops will be the most popular game of 2010. In fact, the question on most people’s minds is not whether it will be a commercial success, but whether it can break the record sales of Modern Warfare 2.

"5.5 million units on day one, 10 million units by the end of November."

Considering its a the most popular multiplatform franchise this generation...its possible.

LoVeRSaMa5702d ago

They are aiming high, but people lost a lot of fair due to MW2, its possible Black ops could turn it around but if they don't the COD IP will surely suffer.

CombineElite5703d ago

Let me guess they are predicting 6 million units sold day one and 20 GOTY awards by day 2 and a Hall of Fame induction by the end of November.

Call of Duty is the most popular multi-platform game that i can remember so yeh it's gonna do big numbers.

I just hope it's more balanced and solid than MW2.

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.

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

YourMommySpoils475d ago

Black ops 4, because it was the last cod of duty I was able to dominate with a +2 k/d ratio. Before all the freaking cheating started to happen. It was nice catching people off guard and shooting at them first and getting the kill. Unlike now, where I shoot people first, but they gun me down with less hits, less time, literally feels like they can kill me in a split second. At times, they are able to run away after me shooting them way more than necessary, yet, the second I'm spotted, I'm dead, there's no me running away to cover. They can do cartwheels, summersaults, backflips and gun you down perfectly. They can shoot you across the map with perfect accuracy. They can jump around like morons and gun you down without even having to correct their aim. They have superman split second perfect reactions. That's the best way to describe it, everything they do is spot on perfect. They can spam and spray (no praying) their gun from far away, because they have no recoil or bullet spread. It always feels like I have to aim and also correct my aim when moving around, while these pricks don't have to do the same.

And yes, I know how to play fps games. I dominated many fps games like: Resistance 1&2, kz 2&3, Socom, MAG, Crysis, Gotham City Impostors, blitz brigade etc. all with 2-4 k/d ratio. Kz2 (lag input controls) and resistance (no aim assist in resistance) being the hardest and were the games I reached either close to a 3 k/d ratio or above.

I truly got to enjoy blacks ops 4 and got my money's worth out of it. Afterwords, I would either stop playing cod games after a while, because of the cheating, or would skip buying cod games for a year or two before buying another.
