I never knew they did that until i got assassins creed 3 this past friday and it actually has a reset countdown for each leaderboard...i thought it was kind of cool.
P.s. I live in california and i know a "mom and pop" shop that usually breaks street dates.
@supersonic... U guessed right. @gatormatt... No, they don't... You can put a $5 deposit to reserve it... They have gotten games almost 2 weeks early in the past... Happened with modern warfare 2 and street fighter 4... The only downside (for most) is that you don't get any special pre-order bonuses like the major stores...
They're expecting halo 4 nov. 2nd but i may hold off a couple of days as i am liking amazon's bonus at the moment.
They never reset MW2 on the 360 when everyone had a pirated copy 2 weeks early. So I doubt it.
They threatened but never did it. You know why? Because some of those people got the game legitley from stores. Therefore the blame falls on the people that sold it to them and not them.
They were smart enough at the time to not punish people that actually paid for the game and if they are smart they will keep that logic.
Either way though whatever. Like I plan on buying another COD game when they can't even put in the effort to change the engine that has been used for 7 games straight.
360 just bans as they always do when cod/halo comes out. ps3 they never care as the cfw doesnt run day 1 releases with out work etc. pc doesnt work in mp until servers go up. so ya

I also had it (MW2) almost 2 weeks early and you are correct, they did not reset the leaderboards
CAUSE ITS THE SAME CRAP GAME EVERYTIME!
