GamingBolt : Much to the relief of Activision and Olin, the same guy has disclosed that he does not possess a copy of the game and that it’s unlikely that it will be leaked.

So what was the earlier mess about and why did Acti claimed that this guy is a robber?

cyborg5369d ago

did took off a copy from the factory but looks like either he sold it back to activision or the cops got the better off him. A similar incident happened with MW 2 too. Hope, this is true and the game's not leaked.

Red_Orange_Juice5369d ago

the game will be leaked this way or another before release date, there is no need to make articles about it

mjolliffe5369d ago

Either one, but it doesn't matter now. As long as the game doesn't get leaked now. There's just no point.

TrevorPhillips5369d ago

Like seriously couldnt you wait 3 weeks for the game

cyborg5369d ago

getting it for free and not helping activision get any richer than they already are. If this was leaked, it would have spelt doom for acti's bank account.

I am happy though, that still doesn't justify piracy

jony_dols5369d ago (Edited 5369d ago )

Activision is the one company i which i'd advise people to pirate their games.

They epitomize everything which is rotten in the modern gaming industry.

If your broke and can only afford to buy one game this November, pirate Black Ops and spend your money on a small indie game instead and give to devs that actually need your money. Rather than Activsion who don't even appreciate it, and then wave it in your face.

Baka-akaB5369d ago

it wouldnt be smart to advise it anyway . Chances are people are just getting hooked or annoyed enough to wish playing it online like all of their friends

Acquiescence5369d ago

I fuckin' hate hackers, but I hate Activision even more.

pr0digyZA5369d ago

Treyarch is a good company, so why should they lose their jobs over Activisions, because I can guarantee that Activision heads wont get pay cuts if the game is leaked to millions of people.

jony_dols5369d ago

Yes, because i'am sure Activision & Treyarch aren't going to break even on Black Ops.

EscoBlades5369d ago

Sounds like he is covering his ass. We'll see if this holds up within a week.

codyodiodi5368d ago

..is a message board a reputable source for news? The message board doesn't even contain a link to the other message board they took a picture of. Then the picture included doesn't even show the persons name on the forum.

Something doesn't add up with these stories, I think the leak is still coming, from the same people too, until I see a better source for this.

While i appreciate the gesture.... all of these retro classics have been made available everywhere else. I am hoping to see some other Activision properties make their way out of the shackles of the 5th, 6th and 7th gen. Licensing be damned... bring back the Transformers Cybertron games.

P_Bomb40d ago

Love the Cybertron games! TF games have been shit lately. Would love to see that era revisited. I even did the multiplayer!

MrBaskerville39d ago

Is the retro classics for all consoles?

Obscure_Observer40d ago

Metaphor on Gamepass just announced! O.o

Seriously, this is the best generation of Xbox ever!!!

We can´t catch a freaking break from awesome games arriving all the time!!!

Deathdeliverer40d ago

It’s a HELL of a game. If you like JRPGs in the family of Persona, you will be in heaven… that is until you hear the various battle music…. then you’ll be somewhere BEYOND heaven!

babadivad39d ago

Just finished Clair Obscur. This should be fun.

Only a big company that has interest in gaming like Microsoft or Tencent could have acquired Activision. Extremely low interest rates at that time certainly helped.

Not exactly sure that a merger with EA would’ve benefited any of their franchises or gamers. I imagine it would’ve been like the activision blizzard one were each publisher retains their own identity. So Activison-Blizzard-EA. But who knows.

fsfsxii137d ago

If it was owned by EA, COD could’ve disappeared a looong time ago. They have no clue how to manage franchises.

Gamingsince1981124d ago

It's a shame EA didn't buy them then, COD should die, it's past its prime and has been since black ops 2, I started playing it when cod 4 mw first came out and it has been downhill since.

SoloGamer1136d ago

thank goodness we dodged that landmine 😒
