Call of Duty: Black Ops tops $1 billion

Te map pack is coming out and I was wright for all the maps! You cannot do anything and Treyarch is going to have more money... what a shame 15$

modern warfare2 is better than one!

1 billion!? Bad quality equals good sales?

now they are gonna charge 15 bucks for 4 maps and a zombie level, at least its better than infinity wards map packs

I guess they don't need infinity ward after all.

zombies should let you use your multiplayer load outs after round ten or so

that's the profit before any map packs hit the market. They are going to milk it!

i only bought it for zombies

still wont buy this trash

@raphaeljoash Are you joking, this is all because of CoD 4 because if that sucked the series would have died and battlefield and halo would have taken the spotlight. Also MW2 sucked because once again CoD 4 saved its @$$ because everyone was like "oh, well Infinity ward is made it and they made CoD 4 so it will be good" and well to be honest CoD WaW was not that big a deal although it was a great game

@GSTom11: soo true. Medal of Honor gave out a free map pack, so should Treyarch. Black Op's is a great game. And it is better than Modern Warfare 2. But it has seriousl flaws. I'm still pissed at the shoddy weapon attachments with the overlord perk. Can't use a red dot and and grenade launcher? And what's with forcing gamers to play game modes they may not like to get certain pro perks? But I'm hoping the next add-on will be good. To all the BO's haters who said it wouldn't beat MW2! Cheers!

You would think with all this profit Activision would do something to THANK THE GAMERS. How about a free map pack for once as a thank you.

Urm yeah...so what's the point of this news again? Are you(Activision) will give me a free expansion or a map pack? No? Then buzz off.

I would be surprised if it DIDN'T make that much. No offense to Treyarch but there pants are caught on Infinity Wards Coat Tails. Oh, and PS: Buying the map pack for a ridiculous $15 now means that they can safely charge $20 for it later and so on. Its called supply and demand and we all demand WAY too much.

Cool.

not playing it yet

well deserved

Videogames are bigger than movies now, its a fact

Great game, but not amazing.

Call of duty has the best and the most intense multiplayer period. I really dont give a F whether bobby kotick kills kittens and punches puppies to make money but COD is sheer fun to paly nontheless.

wow, this would not be happening if you guys would just stop buying the game! you all complain about how tired you are of it and all, but you end up buying the game anyways, so with all you guys doing that, why stop cod there?

now mods will get me :D

Britney Spears, McDonalds, American Idol, Call of Duty... Mass market trash is mass market trash, whatever the genre.

Okay! Give back the love and give everybody free map packs!

This is because of Mw2 if Mw2 sucked as hell this game wouldn't even sell...

@firgie Pretty much people are so hooked on FPS's their friends buy it just to play with them. I already told all my friends I wouldn't buy it because it's the same thing you played in MW2...and I was right. Makes me glad I didn't buy this game, only way I play it is borrowing from a friend because he's back on WoW playing Cataclysm. Honestly I'm pretty much done with CoD, after how many titles using the same engine how many problems have they fixed in it? None, they just keep adding crap and people keep eating it up, whatever wonder how many will eat up that map pack they're releasing?

@inferno394 I'm sorry what game do you play that doesn't make you a sheep? Who are you kidding seriously? Your know different what so ever.

Is the caption on the photo incomplete ???

Wow, so many sheep in the world.

Pride goes before a fall. This crazy windfall is exactly the thing that will convince Activision that, if Call of Duty can make a billion once, it can do it, three, four, five times a year. I've known for a while CoD would follow the rise and fall of Tony Hawk and Guitar Hero. It's all going down from here, folks. Enjoy CoD while it's still hot and not a laughingstock of the industry.

Great. But is Black Ops actually better than MW2? Or does this just look suspiciously similar to a bubble? Next, (or maybe after two more iterations) Call of Duty: Black *pop* Ok that was awful. I'm genuinely sorry.

Why are they still suing EA $400 million then?! Oh my, Activision, you are truly the greediest gaming developers out there...INDIE DEVS FTW!

Darn !!!! I still am playing Medal Of Honor Online and have no time for this .........I guess I have to give it a try and leave the MEDIC CLASS - LESS medal of honor for good ,,, I mean seriously why isn't there any medic classes in MOH !!!!

Even if you put thumbs down to all of my comments its the truth

Talk about... filthy rich

@Gelugon_baat In response to your reply, though I agree that the majority of the people probably are disappointed due to the comparison, I am not. I knew full well that the companies creating the game were different and I wasn't expecting any similarities other than genre. In my review, I only compared the two games because magazines, internet sites, and blogs kept comparing the two games and stating that Black Ops and Treyarch had taken over the franchise. While I agree that Treyarch is doing an admirable job of attempting to fix all the issues, I believe that better beta testing and a bit more time would have probably been more beneficial. To the game, of course, not the sales.

That's a crazy load of money.

This are the First Strike maps for MP: Berlin Wall ; Discovery ; Kowloon ; Stadium ; This is the zombie map: Ascension..... sorry for writting 6 different comments but I just got the informations

All this maps have been canceled and probably will come out in other map Packs: Havana ; Hotel ; Jungle ; Munich ; Landing ; Pentagon ; Port ; Rooftops ; Sandstorm ; Sea Lab ; Shipyard ; Underwater.

For PS3 and PC the map pack will come out on March or April.. it will be also on Wii, maybe

There should be 4 MP maps an a Zombie map

The map pack coming out is First Strike on February 1st, 2011. It will cost 15$ or 1200 MS Points.... this for XBOX360

good marketing is all...

It's like a big wave. Everyone wants to play the next fps. Someone should make a really bad game and see if it sells well. I'm betting it would.

what a great game! everyone knew it was going to be like this

thanks to the people that play 12 hours a day!

@Lastemperor28 Then why are we constantly hearing about xbox hackers and ps3 hackers and how terrible the wii is because of hackers? I hear nothing about the pc because no one cares. The pc market is as strong as it will ever be thanks to inflated hardware costs. The ps3 takes a simple usb dongle to hack the xbox is a simple firmware change process and the wii can be hacked 6 ways from sunday. The wii has really nothing but shovelware but the good games they do have sell well. The xbox has had a firmware solution since almost day one yet has the highest attach rate of the current console market. The ps3 has only in the past 3 months been hacked to play pirate games yet has sold the least amount of games. How can piracy be as bad as the say when the console with the most game sales is also the console that is the most hacked? oh and not even the short busers think its harder to pirate console games than pc games so what does that say about you?
