DT’s ‘Better Than Socks’ Holiday Giveaway: Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 for the Xbox 360

Black Ops 2 giveaway headerIf you judge these things by sales figures, for the last few years there has been an undisputed king of the gaming world, the Call of Duty series. Each new annual release frequently makes well over a billion dollars, a figure that only a few years ago we would only joking suggest that a game’s sales totals would reach. Yet Call of Duty continues to break its own records, again and again. The newest member of the Call of Duty family, and this year’s offering, is no exception.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 raced through the billion dollar mark, and continues to have a massive online presence all around the world. That isn’t likely to change any time soon, which means that Black Ops 2 will remain in heavy rotation for several months still, and with the many upcoming DLCs offerings on the way, there is little chance of it growing dull. So for those looking for a game this Christmas (or shortly after), we are happy to offer you a shot at taking home the biggest game of the year.

Check out our full review of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 for more details.

Here’s all you have to do to win: post a comment below letting us know what game coming out next year has you most excited. Once you comment, you are set.

The contest will run from now through Monday, Christmas Eve. This offer is open only to North American residents, and it is specifically for the Xbox 360.

Good luck to everyone, and from all of us at Digital Trends, Happy Holidays to one and all!

Congratulations to our winner, Sandy Bruce!

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Review

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is the first game in the series to feature a battle royale mode, inspiring the spin-off title Warzone to improve upon that foundation. Blackout mode drops you and 87-99 other players onto an enormous map to fight to the death. There are a ton of different weapons at your disposal, but it can be difficult to determine what you should use when you’re new to the mode and its stealth-oriented approach to combat. Cold War didn't bring back this mode, leaving Blackout as the only Black Ops specific version of a Call of Duty battle royale.

the best mp5 loadouts in call of duty black ops cold war loadout

One of Call of Duty's most iconic weapons is the MP5, a lightweight, powerful SMG that works in many situations. In Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, the MP5 makes its triumphant return, but with the slew of possible attachments and perks you can equip, it might be tough to pick the best loadout for the weapon. After all, Treyarch has implemented way more customization options than before, which is ultimately a good thing, but it can lead to being paralyzed with all the choices available to you.

Fortunately, we've spent a considerable amount of time with Black Ops Cold War and the MP5, and have a good understanding of how the weapon works. Here, we'll let you in on some of the best loadouts you can use with it, including the best attachments, equipment, and perks to get the most out of the MP5.
