No matter how haters want to spin this, it's a huge opening. COD is very much alive and the constant support that Blackout will receive will ensure this will have good legs.
Some people also like to forget this COD has come out one month earlier. You can't expect October sales to be equal or greater than November sales, when it comes to gaming.
I don't want the series to die but I really hope it's popularity declines a bit over the next few years.
Lol you are trying so hard.
Took the words right out of my mouth with your second comment shikamaru. Still haven't bought it even though the BR mode is fun. If Treyarch is cutting content (and still pushing the futuristic warfare) they aren't getting a full price purchase from me.
