Activision gives back to the U.S. Armed Forces, providing free copies of Call of Duty: Black Ops II
Call of Duty: Black Ops II might not have won any awards at this years' VGA ceremonies, but that doesn't mean it's a flop; the game reached $500 million in gross sales in just 24 hours after launch.
Now, Activision's taking action and giving something back to the real soldiers who are actually out there in the field; the men and women for whom war is more than just a video game.
The publisher is donating free copies of the game to multiple military bases and hospitals across the world (mostly overseas) through a USO / Armed Forces entertainment tour, which features three of the games top actors; including Kamar de los Reyes (Raul Menendez), James Burns (Sgt. Frank Woods), and Rich McDonald (Commander David Mason). These actors will be playing against armed forces personnel on the donated copies and will tour from January 28 to February 4.
