demon_54 wrote 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.


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.

Yeah, I have been to many midnight releases, and I have never gotten a number. When I went to the Halo 4 release, they put an X on the receipt and then you went to the back of the line. I got there at about 11:25 and it was packed, and that wasn't even as a big as the Black Ops 2 release. I would recommend getting there at 10 or so, since this is the biggest game launch in Gamestop history.

depends on how many people live in your area and if you wanna be first in line, or if you don't mind being like 12th inline.

I would say it takes about 2min per person to pay and get their games. GameStop does alot of pre paying tho so it streamlines the process.

I would go at 10 if it was just me, but my friends are coming too, and they are really impatient lol. I'm more worried about them not finalizing my reciept because we are getting there at 11:30

Well, from my experience you go in the receipt with your pre-order and they will check it or something along those lines, and then you wait in line.
