Call of Duty: Black Ops II gets its launch tomorrow, and in probably the year’s biggest gaming release it’s not surprising that many stores will be opening at midnight to satisfy the appetite of the hordes of fans desperate to see what all the fuss is about.

Just checked out that GAME offer..not as easy as just trading in (sorry if someone already said this).
Looks like you have to buy BLOPS 2 online from them, then trade the games in afterwards with the proof of purchase and they refund you.
Seems a pretty convoluted way of doing things but then again it is GAME and they do seem to want to go out of business as soon as they can.

Also seeing as I just signed up to say that in case anyone is interested in it (i kind of am) someone has posted some Declassified footage here. According to IGN looks like reviews are gonna be late as no one got review copies – make of that what you will. (it’s probably not much cop i guess)
This actually looks better than I thought it would, though that doesn’t say much really!!

Son just got back from tesco. He was told the points deal was pre order only and wouldn’t do the deal so that’s bullshit from them. Lots of people in the queue got pissed off when told this.

I had the game yesterday afternoon and had a good few hours on it. Its feels and (imo) plays exactly the same as Blops1 which I wasn’t a massive fan of.
If you venture on to MP, pick a class with an MP7 or create one when you get a chance. Everyman and his dog is using it. Way overpowered with zero recoil.
Using the other guns I was scoring low and getting killed a lot. As soon as I changed, I started hammering people and getting very high kills and low deaths.
