Call of Duty Hits $3 Billion

[ace_of_something]

$3 billion? That's insane. I'm flabbergasted. I think I just don't like shooters and will never understand the universal draw. (they all feel the same to me)

Well with 6 games in the Franchise it would bea kind of a let down it it was lower.

Actually, I think that half a billion dollars per game is pretty amazing going.

Good for Infinity Ward, but...

This just shows that most people don't care about things originality or artistic direction in games, it's a shame that more creative games will be lost in the shadow of generic war games like MW2.

Sure the genre of FPS is generic, but the Modern Warfare series is at least refreshing in the sea of WW2 FPS's.

And think! Bioshock 2 is coming Febuary! Pitch a tent a grab your Assault Rifle! You are one of the many waiting at the Bioshock 2 midnight launch! Including me!

Blasphemy!

A lot of that money should be going towards IW.

..stupid Activision <.<

Dear Escapist,

The fact that Call of Duty is successful is not news. I love you, but please please please stop pretending anyone cares. Everyone is firmly rooted in their camps, the people who are disappointed with mankind, and people who are addicted to an excellently produced but mundane-in-concept shooter.

The fact that it is successful isn't news, but the fact that it made $3 billion is. Just because you don't care doesn't mean no one else does. If you don't give a shit then just don't comment.

Wow, well, Infinity Ward earned it, those are some fine games. Bobby, please, don't open your fat mouth in public, it makes others feel uncomfortable.

Oh man, I can't wait! I really think that it will be better than it's predecessor and the multiplayer looks terrific.

The only FPSs besides BioShock 2 that I'm looking foward to playing are Call of Juarrez: Bound in Blood and Singularity.

Gamers: FUCK ACTIVISIOOOOON!

*proves them right*

 

[mrF00bar]

I think that even with all of the let downs for the PC community, MW2 will be the last good CoD game. It seems that they will probably turn into a money hungry demon and shit it all up.

 

[Flamezdudes]

Wow, Some bad series rake in money, but this is preposterous, and if it wins game of the decade, I for one, am going to be pissed off.

So shall i. Call of Duty doesn't desere these awards.

damn I want some of that money

Your not alot...your not alone

 

[ActionDan]

IW should separate from Activision and become their own company.

 

[ucciolord1]

Wellllll holy fuck. That is a lot of zeros.

Couldn't have said it better myself

Sooooo... looks like piracy is only a scapegoat when a game doesn't sell like a publisher thinks it should rather than considering it's something they did.

Dam my sloppy writing, i was refer to the playtime not the money.
Money wise... Wooooooo!

IW should separate from Activision and become their own company.

And then IW can fund their own £200 million dollar advertisng campaign!

Yay for Call Of Duty!
