During the weekend it was reported that a consignment of video games, worth in excess of 400,000 Euros, had been stolen by organised thieves during a truck heist in Créteil, south Paris.
According to the reports the vehicle was rammed; in the commotion two armed thieves emerged from the offending car and used tear gas to subdue the driver before driving away in the delivery truck.
So far we know that the cargo was a shipment of video games, other sources indicating that these were in fact copies of Activision’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

The real news i guess is that the games multiplayer looks woefully generic now.
After watching a ton of vids claiming to contain cool new stuff all i could see was a bunch of ageing surf dudes (Sledgehammer apparently) raving about how awesome it is that death match kills drop glowing dog tags.
hazelam
were they specifically after the game or was that just part of the load on the truck?
i bet it wasn’t like in the fast and furious films.

Ruddy hell. :O *hears the Daily Mail have a orgasm over this news*
I wonder if someone will buy the stolen copies for £1075 each? ;)
SpikeyMikey23
Bet that guy who bought one for $2000 is kicking himself, he’s probably just been offered a copy down the pub for $50

LOL this CoD is making my day.
Please do keep them coming, I want more of these comments ^^
I still can’t believe a few shops selling game early but with extra price *Looking at GForce with MW3 Standard – £70 until Tuesday – £44*

I managed to get a copy from GForce but only paid £44.99? Must have been the shop in Glasgow city centre selling it for £70
Crazy_Del
Yeah it was in Glasgow they started selling on Friday!

Sounds like somebody’s been playing Payday…
This is of course bad, but it still gives the game free marketing.

This probably explains why so many French speaking players were online when I was playing over the weekend.
I never heard one American voice during the whole time I played.
Awayze
I heard IW are resetting everyones stats on Tuesday night. xD

If they did they I wouldn’t be to bothered as I am only level 20 in multiplayer and level 10 in special ops survival.
I played the single player first and have only invested 4 hours in online play so no great loss :)

This just shows how hardcore MW fans will go through to get a copy before anyone else…Guys?!The game is out on tuesday?!
Smallville2106
Hardcore is not really the word that I would use. Plenty of other choice words spring to mind. lol
