Granted, it's still early yet, but it seems that copies of Treyarch's latest magnum opus are flying off store shelves at a record pace, if comments made by merchandising senior VP Bob McKenzie are any indication.

you know I really dislike about this game.. there's a bug or some sort when you have a carepackage call and everytime you switch your gun it pulls out the carepackage grenade call.... but overall pretty good game. I think Treyarch did a damn good job.

I've seen a ton of hype about it on social networks, more so than Modern Warfare 2 actually I must say.

I think Modern Warfare 2 sucked a lot of these people in and now they want more.

There were over 4 million players in game on Live at 2:00am last night right before I went to bed.

imo...They did one hell of a Job! even on the PC version!

-ingame console is back but very restrict
-lean support is back
-mostly the pc controls is back to CO4/WAW style "V for your Knife" and "4 for flash bang"

This game makes me wanna pitch MW2 in the trash. If you plan on getting this, get it!

I'm definitely not reinstalling MW2 again. I may install CoD4 sometime but I see BO being my go-to game for the foreseeable future
