Ratatatat, Call Of Duty: Black Ops Is Going To Be Huge.

The US retailer's reporting that pre-orders for the latest Call Of Duty have already out-stripped the previous game; with the big hype machine still to kick in.

According to the chain's SVP Bob McKenzie the title has seen "all-time record reservations" and are ahead of Modern Warfare 2, the game which smashed about a billion records when it launched last year.

To be fair, Call Of Duty: Black Ops looks poised to be the best CoD game in quite a few years. Treyarch's still got a lot to prove to some sceptics, but we're confident they're going to be the Call Of Duty a-team after this entry. We just had a feeling pretty early on, y'know?
