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

By Ryan Fleming December 20, 2012

If 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: Modern Warfare II doesn’t let Xbox or PC players disable crossplay

Players booting up the Xbox and PC versions of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II are discovering that the option to disable crossplay doesn't exist in-game. PlayStation players can freely toggle the option.

Crossplay has become an almost universal feature for multiplayer-focused titles. The Call of Duty franchise remains one of the biggest multiplayer titles in the world, and has been supporting crossplay for multiple entries now, so it came as no surprise that this year's Modern Warfare II would also allow players on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC to compete with or against one another. However, with the game's full release, Xbox and PC users have discovered that they are unable to choose not to be matched up with players on other platforms.

Call of Duty: Warzone and Black Ops Cold War AMP63 pistol: How to unlock it

Call of Duty Warzone Black Ops Cold War AMP 63

Call of Duty: Warzone and Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War players can now equip themselves with the AMP63 pistol. The weapon was previously leaked thanks to a glitch that made it appear in both games. However, starting today players can officially unlock and keep the new sidearm.

The AMP63 may soon become essential in everyone's loadouts thanks to its stats. What it lacks in firepower, the AMP63 makes up for in an extremely high fire rate. Player speed with the machine pistol is also increased, making it a fantastic close-quarters, shoot-from-the-hip style weapon.
