Putting a damper on your Call of Duty spirits, however, is a new report from Cowen and Company analyst Doug Cruetz that found that Advanced Warfare pre-orders are tracking 50 percent behind Ghosts‘ pre-orders, and 80 percent behind per-orders for Black Ops II. Cruetz believes that this is due to the huge number of games that are coming out in November.
Call of Duty faces a very competitive slate following its launch on Nov. 4, with Halo, Grand Theft Auto, Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, and Dragon Age all scheduled for release between the Nov. 11 and Nov. 18.
What do you think of all this Call of Duty news? Will you be getting Advanced Warfare, or are you getting some of the other games that are coming out in November?
