Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 dethrones Halo 4, enjoys 4th largest UK launch ever

Treyarch’s return with Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 has, unsurprisingly, taken the UK chart top spot. That’s nudged previous Gold medallist Halo 4 to 2nd place, with FIFA 13 holding 3rd.

Black Ops 2 has become 2012’s ”biggest launch of 2012” in the UK, and also claims the mantle of ”4th biggest of all time.” Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed III was 4th, with Skylanders Giants 5th.

Need for Speed: Most Wanted dropped from 4th to 6th, with Borderlands 2 holding 8th. Below is the UK all format chart top 40 for the week ending November 17th.
