With November 13th marking the release date of Call of Duty: Black Ops II, millions of gamers were eagerly anticipating the latest entry in Activision's massively-successful shooter franchise. Some of them received a not-so-pleasant surprise, one which had nothing to do with the quality of the game.

Soon after the release of the game, some PC players were reporting that they had installed the first disc and inserted the second disc...only to be presented with an installation prompt for Mass Effect 2. Due to what could probably be best described as stunning and hilarious incompetance, the manufacturer of the discs seems to have put a BioWare-developed/EA-published game in instead of a Treyarch-developed/Activision-published game.

The story doesn't end there, as BioWare found out that their game had been misplaced on the Black Ops II discs. Their response?

"If the universe thinks that you should be playing Mass Effect right now, who are we to argue?"

The first fifty people who submit a photo showing their incorrect Black Ops II disc will receive a code from BioWare to download the PC version of the Mass Effect Trilogy for free.

Thanks to BioWare and an inept disc manufacturer, some lucky people are going to be getting four games for the price of one. You might even say that it's amazing that some people are going to get a good game out of buying Black Ops II.
