It's probably time to follow Captain Price's orders and "go dark". Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is due out at the end of this week, but it seems some players got their hands on early copies a few days ago. A couple of people have shown their possession of the first person shooter, and it's likely spoilers will spread online -- if they haven't already.

Twitch streamer VonGarcon is going one further, claiming to have multiple copies of the game. He plans to sell them online for $250 apiece.
With Infinity Ward keeping much of the story under lock and key, it'll no doubt be frustrated by the broken street date. If you've any interest in the shooter's campaign, we'd be wary of places like Reddit for the next few days. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare officially launches on 25th October, so there's not long to go now. Oh, and needless to say, don't fall for any scalpers.

When is the review coming?
I'm excited for the campaign!
I guess you can't stop the smaller game shops selling things early.
Hopefully the servers won't be turned on till the 25th.
the single player campaign need a day one patch. so there is nothing to be leaked, and if this is true i will cancel my pre-order. i am not buying a game on disc i cant even play the single player campaign offline. activision have stated in their tos that they can shutdown online and remove anything online when ever they want. and since this game depend on online im not gonna waste money on it. this really killed all my hype for this game.
@TheBuzz honestly mate, just get the game and enjoy it. By the time they switch anything off there will be a new game to worry about. You’re only annoying yourself.
@Boucho11 but you see i also collect games so buying a game that can not be played offline makes it worthless. because when i sell my collection i will get no money back for this one. its a 70 dollar straight in the toilet and flushed. that is why i also never buy digital.
@TheBuzz Ok, I do understand that, but, most games now require some sort of a day 1 patch? I feel your pain with regards to collecting games but I think that’s the way the industry’s going unfortunately. It’s not £70 down the toilet if you enjoy playing the game, even if you only get a year out of it it’s still money well spent.
@TheBuzz Call of Duty games rarely hold their value regardless so you probably shouldn't expect much of a return anyways
$250 a piece?
Man, nothing like a markup just to play the game a few days early.
Not that I intend to buy this anyway but you will get years of play out of this before anything has the plug pulled on it. Certainly 70 quids worth of enjoyment if COD floats you boat.
Heard there are some boycotting this over the scandal with acti-blizzard over their stance with free speech, human rights, etc. Guessing it won't make much of a dent in sales though, these things rarely do but perhaps there will be a big impact if things carry on.
junk franchise from a junk publisher. who cares.
Those look like he got them from Redbox or something.
@Deadlyblack I guess some people are willing to pay insane prices to get something super early.
Scalpers should be the least of your concerns, supporting this communist company is what should bother you. Can't believe people are so selfish they would still consider buying this trash.
Not gamers.... Just worthless.
@TheBuzz just read an article that states it's playable without a day one patch. Just need to set your console to (offline mode). I WAS the same way a collector but recently I've given up for a new hobby that can't be controlled by a third party. Games just aren't the same with the junk they put in. Microtransactions , season passes, loot boxes, required internet for a single player, etc etc.
@Nintyfan @Deadlyblack
On communism/current China hot topic, I mean out of all the shady things games and gamers have stood by and deemed acceptable, or turned a blind eye over the years with an ever increasing array of mental gymnastics, I can find it incredibly easy to believe people would not only play this, but they would fork out a $180 premium to play it two days early.
I mean look at WWE 2K20 and Fallout 76, they've turned out fundamentally broken stuff and we just lap it up collectively, so no way people turn their nose up at a half decent hyped game for morals and integrity; just look at the world we live in.
Infact if anything, fair play to China and their companies, the NBA said something they didn't agree with and they collectively took a bigger stand towards what THEY believe in then we ever would, whether we in the West find it distastefull or not.
I’ve seen copies coming in at Walmart, but people need to calm some about breaking street date. It’s two days away, hardly for another $160 for the game.
