Wow...Call Of Duty really wanted game :D I saw a game shop near my work place there was a big line waiting for MW3 this shop was selling it couple of days early.

iJihaD4574d ago

"a value estimated at around.." ?? REALLY?

You guys can't even know how much EXACTLY "6000" Copies cost?

crxss4574d ago

sounds like The Fast and The Furious plot lol

princejb1344574d ago

call of duty fever, reminds me when gta4 came out, people were waiting outside gamestop for people who bought it than jumped them for the game

Mystogan4574d ago

they wanted to make sure that nobody buys this crap.

Lavitz20124574d ago

If that was me i would have blown it up.

ATi_Elite4574d ago

So many comments.............But what caught my attention was that the Pirates used Tear Gas!!!!!

I would expect Tear Gas for a Bank robbery or armor car heist but automatic weapons and Tear Gas to rob some guy making $9 hr. driving a van?

luckily there were no "Killstreak" involved!

Jneal74573d ago

I blame Grand Theft Auto (Sarcasm)
What's worse than robbers? Robbers with bad taste in videogames. They should have taken a good game like Skyrim

YodaCracker4573d ago

I blame Saints Row. I hear they beat the driver with sex toys before fleeing with the truck.

these dudes really love call of duty

Pl4sm44574d ago

no .. this proves that cod fans are desperate ,crazy , and will do anything

KonGreat4574d ago

or just some people see a way of a easy money. If they sold the games at quarter of the price they'll still have 100,000 euros.

hotskys4574d ago

aww someones mad that no one ever did this for their favorite game because it's not as wanted.

TheDivine4574d ago

LOL its not cod fans its organized crime. Theres always hiests going on. Some factory worker tipped someone off about a shipment and they robbed it and prob either gave the informant a cut or killed him to cover theier tracks.

Thats what i would think rather than some nerdy teens going OMG TEH COD I NEEDZ IT NOWZ!!!

Grendizer4573d ago (Edited 4573d ago )

i can see how this went down.. a bunch of cod elites.. dressed up in camo armor with some walki-talkis and the night vision goggles from mw2.. they also used the rc from bo.. "remember..no camping"

lugia 40004574d ago

Why do some people love COD that much?

WANNAGETHIGH4574d ago

Bcuz its FUN. People love to hate what's successful but the haters forget they are fans who don't care what they say.

Morons that allow themselves to be milked continuously by this company is the definition of irony.
Spend more $$ and you'll end up In easier lobbies so you win both ways when ya spend that cash

melons34d ago

Controversy in the COD community feels like it happens within an alternate timeline. Activision will take the piss with something, there will be a momentary fuss about it, and then they will forget about it and carry on anyway. Repeat this cycle literally every year for the rest of time.

Gridknac34d ago

They call that a crack head! Thats what this is really about, its an addiction. People who dont smoke cigarettes look and laugh at the addicts that spend $8-$10 a pack, but they cant help themselves, they are addicted. That same analogy applies perfectly to the whole MT industry. Only an addict that was not thinking clearly would spend this kind of money on something so frivolous. A round of multiplayer provides the same high a person gets from scratching a lotto ticket, or putting money on a sports bet. MT in general need to really be regulated because you have a generation of kids becoming adults who grew up only knowing the MT era of gaming. Its normal to them and they will in turn teach their kids the same by just being a gaming parent and getting their kids involved with them in gaming. Thats why no matter how ridiculous the headlines keep getting out of the MT industry, it never seems to fade or go away.

I'm so tired of hearing about what they're doing with this game, its never going to change and it's never going to value the consumer over money, furthermore the people who engage so heavily in the microtransactions I guess allegedly are having a blast and can't wait to do it some more this year when the new version of the game drops.

Cheech And Chong Are Coming To Call Of Duty Because Everything Must Be Consumed

The famous comedy duo is the latest example of pop culture becoming one big grey blob

Christopher49d ago

Certain to have some sort of reference to their online store for CBD/THC chews, which is advertising heavily online the last month or two.

Sciurus_vulgaris49d ago

The randomness of the multiplayer characters is one of reason I quit playing COD after briefly returning in 2022. We got Space Marines, rappers, tree monsters etc. all in a series called “ Modern Warfare”.

OtterX48d ago (Edited 48d ago )

I think if there was ever a time for a competitor to rise up and take away some of Call of Duty's thunder, the time would be now. A military shooter that takes itself seriously, not sold out to Fortnitism. Easier said than done, I know... but the time is ripe.

I can't stand this stuff either.

Palitera48d ago

There are tons of MP shooters that make no profit, if you're looking for one of those

fsfsxii48d ago

You guys have been saying this shit since 2009. Fortunately, nobody’s bringing down cod anytime soon, if ever.

crazyCoconuts48d ago

I agree. I really didn't like how the silliness takes away the gritty origins. That and all the crazy effects... dunno. I'm still playing it but I'd love for someone to steal their cheese and cater to grittier players

OtterX48d ago

@fsfsxii It's not so much wanting COD itself to die as it is wanting this silliness to die. Like CrazyCoconuts said, it takes from the grittiness. Many OG COD players want a straightup Military shooter experience, not silly costume time at Carnival.

is this what the kids want these days a pair of iconic stoners who were big in the 70s and have kind of held on I enjoyed their movies decades ago but I never recall the movie where cheech infiltrates a enemy base while chong snipes for support guess I must of missed that one

Man I'm getting to old for this

Knightofelemia48d ago (Edited 48d ago )

Cheech just looks so wrong in the picture.

Profchaos48d ago

Why just why. cod up in smoke

anast48d ago

They charge too much for a game that is kitsch.
