Without a doubt the most highly anticipated game of the month is Activision's Modern Warfare 3, the latest in the Call of Duty blockbuster franchise.
This weekend, it appears part of the PC version of the game was stolen from a shipping warehouse in California.
The disc has inevtitably leaked its way to warez, p2p and torrent sites.
Because the disc is disc 2 of a two-disc set, it isn't particularly useful but some pirates have already tried playing it online.
Activision is shutting down that kind of behavior, however, with one pirate claiming he was fined $5000 for trying to play the game. "Do not buy MW3 before release date. They will come get you. I already went through it," said the pirate.
MW3 will be released on November 8th and Activision is expecting 20 million sales across all platforms in 2011.
