*Gets on phone*

I said Skyrim, dammit! Skyrim!

*End joke*

That's kind of pathetic considering the game comes out tomorrow.

"All right! Now that we have 6000 copies of the game, what do we do with them?"
"Play them?"
But there are only, like, two of us. What do we do with the rest?"
"Sell them?"
"How is that not going to get us caught? More importantly, who would buy a stolen product that they can just as easily get tomorrow? Hell, we essentially have to give these away now. I don't think we thought this through..."
"So, you still wanna play it?"
"Yes..."

Good one Matt.

Anyways considering the game comes out tomorrow...They probably just wanted to play the game before everyone else for bragging rights. Don't think they'd be nice enough to share... :wink:

A dope will pay a lot for MW3 before its official release. Even €1,725.

It's funny. I used to respect Call of Duty before Modern Warfare. Now it's all re-hashed map-packs and weapon-packs under the guise of a new game.

I loved the first Modern Warfare. It still has a warm spot in my heart.

What it did to gaming, though...man. What a shame. Even Ace Combat is Modern Warfare'd now.

I know what you mean. Just for the record, CoD takes no skill whatsoever IMO. Halo FTW! :mrgreen:

Preaching to the choir here. The last good CoD game I played was World at War. All the rest have been crap. I actually returned Black Ops within a week of getting it.

Its also indicative of society. People have to have something new every year. Seriously, annual releases is a little much. Its also disturbing when I hear 11 year old kids asking mommy to buy them call of duty in a game shop....and mommy actually does it.

They are going to make a mint selling those copies. To all those who keep saying "it comes out tomorrow, why rob the game?" ... well there is this thing called money, and people like to make it as easy as they can. Shifting 6000 copies of MW3 really wouldn't be that hard, especially if they sell them at a reduced price when the game is released.

Very much so what Dean said. These guys are currently rolling in the dough, albeit in the illegal dough. It's actually pretty hard to track that down, too. You could sell third party on some site like Amazon.com for an arm and a leg and be completely successful if you don't get caught.

I like, however, how all the comments on the sites I read are, "Dude, they should have taken Skyrim. Losers." So glad the world concurs with us.

They used knives and tear gas. You can buy that cheap in plenty of places in France. Plus since they're titled 'professional', gotta assume they have their sources.
