In fact, GameStop told Game Hunters that Infinity Ward’s baby is the most pre-ordered title in the company’s history.  GameStop VP Tony Bartel told the site, “As of today, the number of pre-order reservations we’ve taken for the game is the highest for any title we’ve ever sold in our 6,200 store network.”So feel free to Boycott all you want, but unless Activision replaces …
