After Call of Duty Black Ops Declassified (how is that for a long name)was officially revealed during E3 in LA, we were left guessing what the game is actually going to be about.
Apparently it will not have a campaign in the traditional sense according to the game's description at WalMart and Amazon. The game will feature Spec Ops missions and multiplayer for its 50 Dollar price tag.
Maybe we will be proven wrong in the end but this is, to the best of our knowledge, will be the game.

We knew Activision and TreArch's Call of Duty Black Ops would sell gangbusters but I think many were a bit surpised when it beat Modern Warfare 2's sales record for 'Day One Sales'.
Activision has now reported that Black Ops sold well over half a billion Dollars worth in 5 days. Worldwide Gross Sales have reached 650 Million dollars which beats Modern Warfare 2's 550 Million last year in the same period.
In addition, according to Microsoft, the game has had logged over 5.9 Million multiplayer hours on its first day on Xbox LIVE and counted 2.6 Million unique users. Both of those statistics are new Xbox LIVE records.

According to a tweet by industry insider and host of GTTV Geoff Keighley, Call of Duty Black Ops outsold Modern Warfare 2. Day one sales that is, while MW2 sold 310 MM USD on day one last year, Black Ops managed to increase that by 16 percent by selling 360 MM.
This might put to rest the Infinity Ward vs TreyArch conersations for a while.
[Update 1] - Activision has now send out an official press release regarding sales numbers and confirmed that 5.6 Million copies of the game have been sold in North America and the UK on day one alone. Modern Warfare 2 sold 4.7 Million copies in the same time last year.
While Black Ops appears to be a very good game with a current Metacritic score of 90 it sure feels a bit like Modern Warfare 2's success really drove the brand ahead.
The question is, if Modern Warfare 2 was not the run-away success last year, would Black Ops have been on the map as much as it is today.

I would love to try the 3D tech but those TVs are not too cheap tp come by as of yet. I will be enjoying some deep under cover Black Ops in regular plain old 2D. That is 2 dimensions folks.
