Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is roughly ten days away from release but according to Venturebeat, pirated copies of the game are already circulating the Internet. It seems Disc 2 of the game was stolen from a packaging factory in Fresno, California by an employee who then leaked it online. He/she couldn’t nab the first disc because security apparently was pretty tight.

Houston we have a pretty big problem

Activision of course have thrown their investigation in high gear and are trying to crack down everyone who’s playing the game. How they’re doing this is beyond me as pirated copies, in most cases can’t be played online and if these pirates don’t appear online, how will they track them down? This whole song and dance of desperately trying to put a lid on piracy isn’t new for Activision. This happened last year with Black Ops and the year before that with Modern Warfare 2 and even then, both games sold phenomenally well.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 releases on the 8th of November 2011 for the Xbox360, PS3 and PC.

Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
