Call Of Duty: Black Ops 4 makes $500 million in opening weekend

Activision and Treyarch are rolling in it right now, as if they weren't already. Their pride and joy, Call of Duty: Black Ops IIII, pocketed $500 million from its opening weekend. The first-person shooter launched last Friday and, as well as making a pretty penny, i earned a wealth of impressive achievements, including a new digital sales record for Activision. 


 
To put this into perspective, some of 2018's other blockbusters, including Ubisoft's Far Cry 5, the previous holder for most sales of the year, grabbed $310 million - in a full week.

    The $500M sales were announced by Activision - based on the box sticker price so not what Activision gets remember - and estimated unit sales of 23.5M.

    This was on a par with last years release that got low 20Ms especially as it benefitted from extra selling days - apparently. Higher sales had been factored into the share price so it fell it seems. (Just no pleasing some folks.) Hope those who bought it have fun.

    Any wonder AAA Publishers have little interest in the MMOROG genre?

    And games "need" to be more expensive...

    Personally the only modern MMORPG trend that annoys me is the idea that MMOs need to be designed in a way to attract people who don't actually like MMOs. Which to me makes about as much sense as someone trying to figure out a way to get vegetarians to eat at their steakhouse.

    So no single player campaign, just extended tutorials with cut scenes. :-(

    Black Ops 4 doesn't have a campaign? Wow! Black Ops 1 was the last CoD game I played and it actually had an alright story. Although I wasn't going to play this but its direction saddens me.

    I dont know what the hell happened to both Call of Duty and the Battlefield franchise. I know they are both still making money but yeah, No thanks. If I'm looking for my FPS war shooter fix I'll go with Red Storm & Red Orchestra anyday over this trash.

    I wonder if the Battlefield V devs being 'on the right side of history' will make them feel better about those numbers.

    Yep sadly every FPS game will always have some type of Aimbot or hack );.

    Fun game though the only thing that sucks is very little cosmetic choices, and no actual good customization choices like in PUBG.

    I don't play this genre but is there really that much difference between 1,2,3, and 4?

    That's ok to bring back old chit chatter,i rather talk about legit AAA games than most of the crap i see coming through the turnstiles.

    Is there any difference?Well i guess the biggest difference i felt playing COD games was between Treyarch and Infinity Ward.I prefer Infinity Wards designs but i am not going to say Treyarch is bad or anything.

    If i could put it into perspective...
    I played weeks of COD games because i was bored with all the crap that came out.I followed another series for years but never broke down to buy it because,well i don't trust reviews at all.That was the Metro series,so i set out to play that series and started with Redux.

    I was all hyped,ready for what i THOUGHT was quality similar to the COD series and became disappointed more and more as i played.Eventually i put the game to rest and have no inkling to play it again.Sooooo i go back and start playing the Treyarch games,the Black ops series and i had a sigh of relief,i was like ok back to quality gaming,i am going to enjoy myself playing these games again.

    My point is that there is a VERY large separation in quality of games hitting the market,some actually deserve a 9/10 while others should be way down,like a 5 or 6/10 at best.
    One more perspective.....Destiny 2,a rather large popular expensive game.I lasted one hour and was AGAIN disappointed.So why this point?

    Point is don't worry if the Black Ops games feel similar,they are GOOD quality games,do yourself a favor and spend money on quality and enjoy some good gaming.
    Ok i lied one more perspective...If there were two games left on planet Earth,a COD game or ANY Arpg,COD was selling for $500 and the ARPG was $5,guess what game i would choose?
