Rising Gas Prices & Rising DLC content prices.
So on the third of May, Treyarch will bereleasingthe "Escalation" map pack for Call of Duty: Black Ops. Like the First Strike DLC pack, it will cost you around $15.00 (that's about 1200 Microsoft Points).
When the First Strike DLC content came out, a large number of people complained about it being too high of a price for a few maps and a number of those who did buy the pack complained that they didn't get their $15.00 -

Modded Controllers: Adjustable Fast Reload
Adjustable Fast Reload is a great Evil Controller that comes with 3 mod features. Rapid fire, auto burst, and adjustable fast reload. All of these work in Call of Duty: Black Ops, Modern Warfare 2, and World at War. There was a moment for a few months were our adjustable fast reload wasn't working in Black Ops due to a patch on the developers side of things that came out on the 14th of December, but back in February the game had been patched again and now our adjustable fast reload is back.,

Modded Controllers: Master Mod
Our Master Mod definitely deserves the name that we've given it. As a blogger for the site it's fairly easy to dismiss my opinion as bias, but it's really impressive how many mods we've managed to install into our Master Mod controllers. These modded controllers include: Rapid Fire, Auto Burst, Fast Reload, Active Reload, Rapid B, Adjustable Rapid Fire, and Dual Rapid Fire.

Yeah, so you, your friends, your friends' friends have probably thought the countdown site FindMakarov.com was going to be a upcoming preview of Modern Warfare 3, then all of a sudden,Activision comes in and says it isn't. So we wondered what the heck it was. Well the time was up and the site revealed something that Hollywood should learn from when it comes to making video game movies. Especially you, Uwe Boll, this is how you make a video game -

Looks like gamers have been awfully trigger-happy when it comes to Black Ops. Activision recently released statistics on Black Ops players and their ways of life, which basically sum up the fact that they like to shoot and they like to shoot a lot.
Lets remember Black Ops only came out in November. Since then, according to Activision, all players combined have killed 9 times the worlds population and have shot over 1 trillion shots.
Furthermore, over 147 billion COD points have been earned, approximately 2 billion planes and cars combined have been exploded, and, most interestingly, vindictive players have returned fire with over 10 billion paybacks.
Also, the top 3 guns used are the Famas, AK74u, and Galil, with the top ten perks being Marathon, Sleight of Hand, and Lightweight.

Rumors: Ghost Reporting in
A Ghost-centered Call of Duty Prequel in the works? Well that's what's being talked about rumor-wise lately. A lot of rumors with that Infinity Ward is working on the next Call of Duty which will take part in the past and focus on MW2's Ghost and how he became a member of Task Force 141. While these are just rumors, Infinity Ward's Community Manager's Robert Bowling has not confirmed but has not denied anything.
In addition it looks like that since it is Infinity Ward, it could be likely that if the rumors were true, they will build

Black Ops goes for a record number of
CEO Bobby Kotick claimed earlier in 2010 that Call of Duty is a networking phenomenon as it is a video gaming one. Activision decided to back that up by posting the numbers that proved so...and showed that they also surpassed Facebook's numbers. With more than 20 million users on COD: Black Ops, the game and its players have logged more than 600 million hours between its release and December 24th, 2010. Computing that, it means the average player has played around 87 minutes per day, while Facebook's per-day average usage amongst its people is 55 minutes per day.

Girl Gaming - Black Ops
When Call of Duty: Black Ops was getting ready to hit the market Activision and Treyarch put together a Prestige Edition and a Hardened Edition package of extras for their dedicated players. The Prestige Edition came with a copy of Black Ops, a Black Ops RC-XD Car, a premium steelbook casing, custom Black Ops emblem medal, a woods Avatar outfit, and four exclusive co-op maps. The Hardened Edition came with a custom Black Ops emblem medal, a woods avatar outfit, and four co-op maps. Awesome deal right? – For guys; yes, but for girls; well lets just say we received the short end of the stick on this one.
Unfortunately for those who have created a girl avatar on their Xbox Live accounts they

Before now there were apps for Black Ops multiplayer that would tell you about stats and basic information. They would run you about 99 cents on average. But if you spend a bit more, you can get an app with more details and advantages for your online play, its called VC for Black Ops.
The VC for Black Ops app has features that are to be the remedy to a lot of headaches to those who stay glued to the game (like a lot of us, myself included). Example, not happy playing with randomly selected people who spend most of the time trying to figure out how a claymore works (or keeps running into their own)? Use the match finder to set appointments with fellow app users. Need to build your clan to dominate online -

Activision makes sales numbers look easy.
Last year Call of Duty: Mondern Warfare 2 laid waste to day 1 sales records by making an estimated $310 million dollars within 24 hours of release. After Medal of Honor's lukewarm reception it was unclear if people would be willing to fork over more cash to another shooter. Activision proved that that was simply not the case. In a recent press release from Activision, they reveal that after 24 hours of sales Black Ops has not only done well, but that it's outsold Modern Warfare 2 making an estimated $360 million.
