Meh, they beat FB games, not exactly impressive.
What do you mean when? It already has and they haven't been screwed yet. Apparently history has taught them nothing. (Guitar Hero, Tony Hawk)

Where's your fragging logic, Activision? Going away from the numbers and whether or not this is true, how is that an accomplishment?
Your AAA-super budget title with giant marketing campaign and a loyal fanbase has more players than a browser based indie title? Well big fragging deal.
Transformers 3 was watched by more people than those who have read I am Robot, but where's the comparison? There are quite likely people who like both, but in many cases, those who like to play Zynga-style timekilling games like Farmville will not enjoy being repeatedly shot in the face with a HK-PSG 1 from half the map away just after spawning, because they most likely will not be into FPS games.
I am going off on generalizations for the sake of a point here. There are gamers that like both, but there is most likely the majority of Facebook app fans who don't own a gaming console or don't play Call of Duty competitively.

NEWSFLASH: Call of Duty has flashier graphics and game physics than Farmville. can you explode a pumpkin in Farmville with a tactical nuclear device? I think not.

In other news, water is indeed wet.

Makes sense. Farmville runs on 30 fps.
Haha this made my day
AND farmville is not for people with a life.

Seriously, CoD is just a multiplayer based ego-soothe at this point, anyone without ego issues just doesn't care about the franchise anymore. They've made what...2 good games out of the genre? (I am of course referencing to CoD2/4 singleplayer, multiplayer has always been for kids)
True although I'd disagree with farmville players not having a life, its for people who don't have time to play real games, I tried farmville its impossible to spend more than 10 minutes playing it without spending money on extra energy

Well Activision, Call of Duty also has more whining 8 year olds screaming in my ear than any Facebook game...

Is that something to be proud of?

seriously, what does Call of Duty has to do with Facebook?

one is supposed to have players, it's a game

the other is a service provided by a social network

so a game where mostly 13 year old ADHD kids play beats a network where 30 year old ADHD kids play. why should people with IQ above room temperature care?

"Call of Duty has more players who pay-to-play online than any Facebook game and our players pay more per player on average than any Facebook game.

"They're also more engaged - the percentage of Call of Duty's monthly unique players that play the game every day is higher than that of the top three Facebook games."

Well, no shit sherlock. If more people were more engaged and spending more hours playing free to play web browser based games rather than your multi-million dollar triple A title your shareholders would have shit themselve in fear and fired you.

I'm not so sure if Call of Duty is more popular than Farmville.
