So apparently a few PC edition copies of Black Ops 2 are a bit shall we say messed up.
According to Kotaku and a number of reddit posts PC versions of the game have come with Mass Effect 2 written on the installation disc and not Black Ops. What makes this even more confusing is the fact that Disc 1 has black ops 2 written down so PC players wont know of the issue until they place disc 2 in during the insulation process where you guessed it they may get a certain surprise.

So from someone that has worked in the industry I can answer your question which is probably "how the hell did they screw this up?"
Well although EA and Activision may be competitors and rivals, businesses tend to share manufacturing processes. So its likely the manufacturing plant encoded black ops 2 onto the first disc and then somehow got mass effect 2 on the second disc. This is probably not the fault of either Activision or EA but the manufacturer but this is still very serious.
Can you fellow escapists think of a time where this has happened before? It's the first time I have ever heard of it happening. Will be interesting to see how Activision respond to this.
