Gamers have told Newsbeat they've managed to get copies of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 more than a week before its release.
The title is not due out until 13 November but on Friday three gamers showed Newsbeat copies of the game which they claimed were genuine.
They also said they knew a lot of people who already had it.
It's also been reported that it's become available to illegally download via torrent sites.
The legal battle for the acquisition of Activision Blizzard continues, with Microsoft countering one of the FTC's latest moves and the Judge delaying a relevant ruling.
Look, to be honest the FTC should just stop.
MS has A/B and nothing has really changed yet...if you are worried about 5-10 years from now...just drop it cause the future is unpredictable.
Take this week's news, that 4 Xbox exclusive are going Multiplatform.
The FTC and the lawyers behind the "Gamers' lawsuit" against Microsoft over the acquisition of Activision Blizzard are denouncing the recent layoffs within the respective legal battles.
The legal battle between Microsoft and the FTC over the Activision Blizzard acquisition continues. The house of Xbox just scored a major point but the FTC is firing back.
Yeah man I think Microsoft here getting to probe is kinda wrong unless you only have accessed to necessary information not complete access imo.
Maybe Microsoft should also talk and get help from their "congressional influencers" at The Capital. They had plenty to say on the matter before the acquisition. They are mighty quiet after the purchase went through. Almost as if they had a stake in the matter.
You should be careful upsetting Sony too much Microsoft.
You might need them to sell your subpar games soon.
This isn't a major victory. They're essentially being allowed to call witnesses in regards to agreements they reached with Sony and Ubisoft which was initially blocked because Microsoft didn't make the request through the proper channels. This case is dead, there is no way the ftc will be allowed to unwind this acquisition.
All this means is being in the top of the leader boards is near impossible since all of them are probably playing the game 24/7....
Games always get out early. I got COD early the last two years by at least a week. There were thousands online playing already when I first put the disc in and most of them were terrible. Someone else getting the game early should have no impact on your enjoyment of the game, since your situation would be the same whether they got it early or not.
ALl that fuss because some got it 4 days early? I had it 8 days before release :-)

who cares about leaderboards , it's not like you are playing gt5 ....
the length of playing or the kill numbers or wins doesn't make you the best player , there are others who play really good and doesn't care about these leaderboards ..
