They knew the game sucks so they try to bribe you with Mass effect 2 :)

/jk. I don't know how that would happen. But i do believe you can just download it though steam for us PC people.

"Optical discs like CDs are spelled with a "c," and other kinds of computer storage media such as floppy disk drives and external hard drives are spelled with a "k.""

But yeah, I mispelled it.

My PC has a cup-holder that opens and closes. Is that where the disks go?

This. Many people who lived through the floppy days got into the habit of spelling "disc" with a K.

Was an Activision employee playing Mass Effect 2 during work?

EA and Activision sharing printers, perhaps?
Still, really clumsily done and should never happen.

Probably using same company for disc and such. Outsourcing that is.

They the (manufacturing company) might be in big trouble in this case...

So.... wait. You get two games? For the price of one? And one of those games is good(ish)? What's the problem here? Steam downloads your game automatically so the disk isn't really needed.

I'm pretty sure that since the Mass Effect data is on the actual BlopsII disc, you just can't install it.

Some people don't have a fast internet. Also, you don't get the steam redeemable code for ME2.

True, but you get a copy of Black Ops II on steam and a copy of ME2, possibly DRM-free.

Most likely, you get an install disc for ME2 but no CD-key. Making it pretty much unusable. So all you get is half the shitty game you bought and a useless install disc for a better one. Of course, they can just activate the game on Steam but it still suck when you're installing a game and have the wrong disc in hand. Someone at the manufacturing plant is probably gonna get fired over this.

Because you cannot quite know how did an EA game end up freely on a BO2 disc. Conspiracy theories unite!

The discs are pressed with Black Ops 2 labels despite containing the data for Mass Effect 2.

Must have been a manufacturing plant error. Though how it could have happened is beyond me, as these things are supposed to be tested when they get off the production line.

Good question is why ME2 disc would still be produced. If that disc isn't for the collection...

Maybe EA paid the printing company to mess with discs to sell more copies of MoH? :)

At least they get a CD key with the game, or if not, they should.

Really I think they will only giveback money. So I recommend you to buy it on Steam or another website for Download, or go to a physical store.
