GameStop announces Call of Duty: Black Ops contest, reveals higher pre-order total than MW2

By JC Fletcher
In an announcement about GameStop's new Call of Duty: Black Ops "Surprize Attack" contest, which will give items like "Fighter Pilot Experiences," ghillie suits, and Jeeps to lucky customers who don't mind the novelty spelling of "surprise," GameStop merchandising SVP Bob McKenzie revealed a surprising statistic about the prospects for Treyarch's upcoming game. "GameStop is tracking to all-time, record reservations on Call of Duty: Black Ops," McKenzie said. "We are ahead of where we were with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 last year, which previously set the industry standard."

The fact that more people have pre-ordered Black Ops at GameStop suggests more pre-orders for the game in general than its predecessor — and let's not forget, that one came with night vision goggles!
