During an investors call today, Activision announced that 1.4 million copies of Call of Duty: Black Ops' "First Strike" map pack were sold "in the first 24 hours" of its February 1 debut on Xbox Live. At $15 a pop, that's $21 million in gross revenue in a single day -- on a single platform!

No surprise tbh. Call of Duty is a crazy seller and will be for a few more years at the very least.

Yeah I'm honestly wondering why people here act surprised only so they can rip on the game for no freakin reason. Ok you don't like it, big whoop don't buy it then instead of insulting others for enjoying things you can't.

1.4 players just wasted 15 bucks each. You can actually buy good games with those money, like Metal Gear Solid 4 or Gears of War

I bought it and I don't even on the game for 360. Seemed like the right thing to do.

I'm sorry, but how? Because they want an add-on for a game they enjoy? I would fully agree that CoD is a rehash, and the DLC overpriced (personally I think we should go back to the 'expansions' every once and a while). What makes you people so holy? You play BF:BC 2,thats itright? I am sure an avid CoD player could hate on that as much if not more then your hate on Black Ops. I won't deny BC 2 is a good game, and BF 3 looks great, but this eliteism is ridicoulous. I enjoy Black Ops, and I bought both of the DLC, if that means I don't have "good" taste in games, then so be it. The value is obviously worth it to the buyer, I do not regret First Strike, and so far Escalation is enjoyable. Is it such a foreign idea that you can play and enjoy more then 1 game? This has no affect on you, you could complain that DLC is ruining the industry, hell I think DA 2 milking is worse then BOs, but honestly, its the same agrument when Mw2's map packs came out, and yet there are still good DLC worth their value.

Sorry for getting on the soap-box, but the elitesm is really dumb:P

On-topic, thats impressive, not surprising though, I prefer FS over escalation so far, though I stil enjoy the latter.

Essentially, they're tools... here we go again. Activision selling an overpriced map pack. At least get on the level of Battlefield's DLC i.e maps, weapons, vehicles, new factions..etc, etc.

Cool you just called 1.4 million people tools. :roll:

Wo, I didnt even mention BF but its nice to know your knee-jerk mentality means you are Cod defender to the death. I really dont care what youenjoy, or what you spend your money, it just saddens me tosee people feeding the machine nickles and dimes you for mediocre product,

And top continually support Activision of all companies, saddens me greatly indeed, atleast when gamingis in the toilet, I can stand proud and say I did defended it.

He just called CoD a rehash series. He's hardly defending it. Just stating the truth. :|

It's cool you try to force your opinion as facts though. What you find mediocre could be amazing to someone else.

Oh god this conversation is familiar. I'll support what I want thank you. :]

The BF reference wasn't nessisarliy at you, but whenever CoD is brought up the BF elites follow. And I'm not a CoD defender (Hell, my purchase of MW3 is unlikely) simply tired of the snarky eliteism. What mahcine are people feeding, they are getting they're moneys worth ( I know I did) I know the product I buy. I dislike Acti, but am I going to not a buy a simple 15 dollar DLC because I disgree on how they run the company? And what is proud to stand by? You didn't buy the latest CoD, that (obviously) minor hit agaisnt sales isn't going to stop the direction of the industry. Also, alot Iposted was mor at the gneral 'somemillion people are idiots' crowd' just htought a reply and posting all of that at once would have been easier:P

I think people hate on CoD too much. Yes they are milking the series in the worst way with yearly installments and over priced map packs, but the game really is a polished product. I stopped enjoying the multiplayer after MW2 and the inclusion of lulz OP killstreaks, but the actual guns and shooting feel great.

I don't hate on CoD...i still play CoD 1 (& UO), and CoD4 online... I'm just hating how malicious Activision is when it comes to the green. I remember when IW used to give maps for free and the only thing we paid for was expansions (i.e United offense)..complete with new maps, vehicles (yes, vehicles), weapons, and even SP missions. At least Dice kept their expansion model intact, and you get real content for the same price that one would pay for a MW/BO map pack.
