Microsoft: Early MW3 playing “may” risk Xbox Live ban

4.6
Got a copy of Modern Warfare 3 early? Is it for Xbox 360? Online-connected? Protip: probably best not to play it until next week at least.Director of Policy and Enforcement for Xbox Live, Stephen Tolouse, has said anyone playing it before its been authorised for full play by Activision may end up risking a ban.

He said: “clarification: dblchk’d with Activision. Mw3 pre-release play not authorized. So pls be patient. Playing early may impact your account!”

It comes hours after he said that if anyone started playing the game, as long as it was a legit copy, was fair game.

Tweet went like this: “For those asking about MW3 pre-release play: If your copy is legit and obtained legitly, have fun. It’s a great game.”

Probably best to avoid going online with it until at least Monday. For those who haven’t come into possession as yet, it’s out on PS3, 360, PC and Wii on Tuesday.

I think right about now its safe to go online.. but about a week before the game comes out people deserve to get banned.

I just bought my MW3 game at gamestop in San Benito,Texas,78586 its the only gamestop in that town and they were having a early release today. I bought mine and my little nephew bought his, and so did about 30 other people waiting in line. They also stated that it was safe to go online with it.

There should be no surprise for anyone here. Yeah ok it's the "stores" fault for giving it out early, right.. While I'm sure that every person that was able to get MW3 early was well aware of the actual release date and knew the risk of going online before the ACTUAL release date. Now that there may be enforcement performed the fingers go pointing, and the saying "it's not my fault" lol
