Devs Playing MW3 on Xbox LIVE

It looks like Modern Warfare 3 is hot of the press due to developers of the game playing it on Xbox LIVE.

Modern Warfare 3 went gold last month but that didn't mean it was completed. Microsoft and Sony had to certify the game and then copies have to be made and shipped to stores all over the world.

It appears that the game has passed the certification process and the first few final copies of the game have been created. Ghosty on our forums noticed Infinity Ward creative strategist Robert "Fourzerotwo" Bowling playing a certain Modern Warfare 3 on Xbox LIVE. Other than having countless amounts of people now stalking the accounts of developers to see what they're playing, what else does this mean? Chances are millions of copies are now being produced and shipped in time for the game's release in 24 days.

Ghosty also noticed Bowling played five Spec Ops levels called Invisible Threat, Little Bros, Stay Sharp, Milehigh Jack and Hit N Run. Along with Spec Ops, he managed to fit in some time on the Single Player campaign by playing 'Prologue' and 'Dust to Dust'. Apparently he was also 'In a Party' for about an hour, so either the servers aren't up and running or no one else was online and available to play multiplayer. Bowling's Xbox LIVE profile is currently restricted meaning only 'Friends' can see his games library and what he is currently playing. A few other developers have done the same, so it's likely Bowling isn't the only one to have a copy of the game or that he's using a practice disc.


With it looking like the game is now out in the open, expect plenty of leaks to hit the net. What comes with leaks? Spoilers. So avoid Call of Duty and gaming websites within the next few weeks if you wish to experience the game feeling fresh on November 8th.
