    10 hours unlock time to 20 hours. Anyone who has purchased to retail at midnight onwards can play instantly. That is all.

    Also, Treyarch are patching the game at launch for their own server admin tools.

    Stay tuned for flaming.

    Makes Steam ordering a bit pointless then, no midnight release, and it's €10 to €15 cheaper in B&M stores.

    steam is a load of balls, its a massive price difference between them and the shops this time.
    and the midnight thing is an annoyance too.

    Refuse to buy from Steam anymore....
    €59.99 for Black Ops is taking the piss...mates in the UK can get it for £40 so can't see why we're paying an extra €15 or so for it here...bloody gougers:mad:

    Steam isn't all bad, this is just a case of it being balls about unlocking.

    It's great when the price is right.
