I don't know if you know this, but Call of Duty is kind of a big deal. You want cold, hard facts to back that up, do you? How about this little bit of knowledge: in one weekend World at War's newest map pack, Map Pack 3, was download over 1 million times. That's a big number and puts it in fine company with its brother and sister, Map Pack 1 and Map Pack 2, which also sold like candy at a fat kid convention on their respective debut weekends. Evidently, this means that all three map packs combined together have sold 6.5 million copies. It's Christmas time at Activision.
The third map pack featured monkey bombs, new maps and more zombies, all of which seemed to make it very popular. Then again, I'm pretty sure that by this point Activision could take a dump in a box and label it Call of Duty and people would buy it. More like Call of Doody in that case. Am I right?
Wait, come back! I haven't asked the obligatory closing post question yet. So, are you one of the million? There, all done. Go ahead on your way.

To answer your question: NO I'm not part of the 6.5 Million people.
The only thing I'm interested in is the Zombies, I once played this crappy mini game where you're a soldier in world war 2 or something, but it was shit. Der Reise is probably the most fun Zombie map.
