Over the weekend, a truck carrying a video game shipment in France, which was worth around 400,000 Euros, was robbed. The shipment reportedly contained 6,000 copies of "Modern Warfare 3." The delivery truck, which was
traveling in Créteil, south Paris, collided with a car on Saturday.
While stopping to handle the situation, two masked individuals appeared
and used tear gas to distract the truck drivers. The individuals then
stole the video game shipment that the truck contained.
Activision,
MW3 publisher outside of Japan, has gone back and forth lately about
whether or not it would place a ban on those who played the new game
online early. Initially, Stephen Tolouse, director of Policy and Enforcement for Xbox Live, tweeted "dblchk'd with Activision. Mw3 pre-release play not authorised. So pls be patient. Playing early may impact your account!" Later, Robert Bowling, Infinity Ward creative strategist, tweeted that no ban would be placed on those that played online early.
"No plans to ban legit fans, but
try to wait til midnight launch on Tuesday to play #MW3," Bowling
tweeted. "Can't wait to jump online with everyone then!"
But with inevitable leaks and
online gameplay via the reported heist, they may rethink the ban.
However, the game is already expected to be released at midnight
tonight.
