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.

"MoH-Warfighter" has certainly slipped quickly as has "Sleeping Dogs", with "007 Legends" rightfully falling almost off the chart altogether.
I watched "HALO 4 - Forward Unto Dawn" and have to say, again, I wish they'd port the complete series to PC, including the RTS.

MoH timed it perfectly then, releasing just enough before CoD for people to pay attention to it :).

I'm a bit surprised that Skyrim is still selling so well after all this time, for almost a year.

What a surprise....., nobody seems to think of the fact that CoD is on multiple platforms, Halo 4 just on 360.
