Activision has revealed that Call of Duty: Black Ops players have amassed over 1.2 billion hours worth of online game time since it launched in November last year.
The news broke during the publisher's annual investors call which also revealed that revenue reached $503 million for the first quarter of the calendar year, substantially improving on last year's figure of $381 million.
An increase in DLC sales and PC revenue is being attributed to the jump.
