Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3

THE BUZZ: If you somehow manage to secure a cop of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 early, you may want to resist the urge to play it—otherwise, you could risk facing the Activision ban hammer.

Stephen Tolouse, Director of Policy and Enforcement for Xbox Live, originally said that it was fine to play legitimate copies of the game before release, however he has since backtracked stating: ”Clarification: dblchk’d with Activision. Mw3 pre-release play not authorised. So pls be patient. Playing early may impact your account!”

EGM’s TAKE: So, if you have a copy, then it is strongly advised that you wait until Tuesday to start playing.
