I'm going to the midnight release for Black Ops 2 this year at GameStop, and this is my first midnight release ever. I was wondering:

1) When would be the best time to show up?
I'm planning on getting there at like 11:30 p.m. Is that good enough? I know I'll have to wait in a big line, but can I still get that slip thing?

2)How long does it take to get through the lines?

Any answers to these questions would be very appreciated! Thanks

Well if you're under 17 don't bother going. And if you're older than get there at like 10. The line at my gamestop is about 40 yards long t 1130

I am 17, but I'm going with some friends that are 21 and 16, so that makes me hope my 16 year old friend can get his copy.

Call and ask when they will start giving out numbers on receipts. Go in at that time or like 10-15 minutes before (there will be a line waiting to get numbers). Once you have your number feel free to leave and go back at 11:50 and find the people with one number above and below you.

If you decide to not get a number MAKE SURE you go in and get your receipt finalized first, that way when they start giving out copies you just walk in, show receipt, walk out. Once they start giving out copies the line actually moves quicker than you think, last year I was number 54 and was in and out in 5 minutes, for Black Ops 1 I was in the 200's and it was roughly a 20 minute wait.

I just turned 17 and I went to borderlands and my friend ( he is 18) tried getting my copy and they wouldn't let him because he is not a legal guardian....

If you pre-ordered you are GUARANTEED a copy and that copy will be held 48 hours after release.

Your a freking idiot... You should NEVER EVER! go to any midnite release at 6 or 7. I dont care what it is that is just stupid. They have a grouping system for CoD releases so if you get there midnite the night before you still may have to wait on a big line. Dumbass

According to one of my friends, last time he went to a midnight release, he just brought in his receipt to finalize that he paid for it, then they gave him some slip and he just waited in line, no number in line or anything.
