Black Ops Launch Gets Six Hours Of Live Coverage

Judging by Activision’s Live-Aid-esque coverage you’d think they had solved world peace rather than launching a game. Those of you who are really, really, really interested in Black Ops can watch almost six hours worth of live coverage via the COD Facebook page – alternatively Jack Duckworth is going to snuff it on Corrie this evening; that’s probably just as enjoyable.

Here is a breakdown of the shows on Activision TV tonight, as described by Activision themselves.
