Some copies of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 have Mass Effect 2 on the second disc | News | PC Gamer (http://www.pcgamer.com/2012/11/13/some-copies-of-call-of-duty-black-ops-2-have-mass-effect-2-on-the-second-disc/)

I find this quite hilarious, I wonder what the legal proceedings that will happen?

[samejamesbond]

Well, it's most likely both companies are going to sue the shipping company.

[Seahawk]

Wow, that looks like a mixup at the manufacturing plant.
Some disc manufacturer somewhere is going to be in some very deep doo doo.

At least the PC users can download the game off Steam with their CD keys, but man that's going to be a looong download.

[Slime Slayer]

I love their solution..."ehhh... just download it."

[Dudebro]

Pretty funny that it's not even ME3 and it's not the same companies. Someone is getting fired.

If you've got one of these disks and you're fast enough, Bioware is handing out download codes for the entire Mass Effect trilogy.

Well that's very nice of them.

Whoa, that's cool of them, considering they are the last people in this story that are to blame. I'm worried about this "if you're fast enough" though, how many are they giving out? 10 - 12? That's pretty scummy if they just see it as quick publicity.

@SteveCass - it's the first fifty to submit a picture of them holding their copy of Black Ops II Disc 2 that has ME on it.

[Dudebro]

It's not scummy of them at all. If they don't limit it people will abuse their kindness and get tons of free codes to spread online or sell.

I seriously think people need to be wary of these things. If there was a serious mix-up now, what'll happen in the near future?

[CatalystiCam]

I wouldn't complain. Get a bioware RPG instead of some crappy Black ops 2 bonus disc. I'd just roll with it, of course that's just me because I dislike Call of Duty, and like Bioware.

[ARedLetterDay]

I love Call of Duty, and probably am the only person on the site that does.
Not a big fan of the community and the fans, but it's really fun and requires more skill than people seem to believe.

[CatalystiCam]

I don't hate it I guess. Get me with the right group of friend's that are playing it, and I can enjoy it (I can enjoy just about any game with friends though). I prefer less realistic shooters mostly.

[Slime Slayer]

The game sucks because of it's 80 million dollar budget, 75 million went to marketing.

The heck did you get those figures from?

[Slime Slayer]

It was just a number I made up to illustrate my point.

[ARedLetterDay]

Yeah, I was about to say. One of the most expensive games to make was Mass Effect 2 and that was in the neighborhood of 40 million something.

Dude, Shenmue was 100 million.

[ARedLetterDay]

47$ million at the time, which nowadays equates to 64$ million today. Both games combined cost about 95$ million today. Still makes it probably the most expensive game, but my point remains. Most games cost around 25 million to make, on average.

[Slime Slayer]

Well whatever your average is, you can be sure the COD titles are spending the majority of their budget on marketing.

I don't love it but I like it. I won't spend any money on them though. If someone lets me borrow it I'll play it. I mainly just use the riot shield and derp around, so it might be best for everyone if I just didn't play at all.

[ARedLetterDay]

Same thing with me. I don't buy them mostly because I spend my money on games I really, really want. Someone lets me borrow them, I'll be more than happy to play them.
