It’s a busy period for FPS fans with the recent release of Battlefield 3 and its main competitor being just around the corner, but if you’ve managed to bag a copy of Modern Warfare 3 early, you’ll need to keep it sealed.
Tweets from @Stepto, the Director of Policy and Enforcement for Xbox LIVE, and @AceyBongos, Xbox Social Marketing Manager for the EMEA region confirm that early access isn’t allowed, even if your copy is legitimate.
@Stepto clarification: dblchk’d with Activision. Mw3 pre-release play not authorized. So pls be patient. Playing early may impact your account!
AceyBongos Check that @stepto tweet I just retweeted – even if you have a legit copy of #MW3 early for whatever reason, you’re advised not to play it.
Modern Warfare 3 is set to release on the 8th of November, so there’s not long to wait. To keep you going in the meantime, you can catch up on the recently released trailers.
