MW3: Pre Release Madness

Submitted by UnashamedVandal; November 04, 2011


Stephen Tolouse, this may be a man you might of heard of, if not Ill tell you who he is. This man is responsible for Policy and Enforcement for Xbox Live, in fact he is actually the Director for it, and this surprised me...a lot. You see this man is single headedly responsible for confusing thousands of egger Modern Warfare 3 hopeful fans by sending extremely confusing messages. Recently Stephen Tolouse stated that anyone caught playing Modern Warfare 3 online on their Xbox account before the designated release date is risking a ban. Okay Mr. Tolouse, what if I pre-order the copy legitimately and I receive it a day early, then can I play online? Yes, wait...no...wait I dont know. For those of you that are now confused...dont worry so am I. After making this announcement regarding the ban on accounts, he then stated that those who receive their copy early by legal means should have squat to worry about, sounds straight forward. However after saying this, the Director followed up by posting on Twitter that it is in fact not okay to play before the release date and urges fans to remain patient. Just to make a bad situation worse, Kmart have starting dispatching orders earlier due to a shipping error. So the big question is...can you play your copy online before the release date? Who knows? By the looks of things Stephen Tolouse doesnt. Source: 1337Squad Let me know your thoughts.
