Is anyone going to a midnight launch to buy this game? Has anyone been to a midnight launch before because i'm tempted to go.. are they generally quite busy meaning i might not get a copy or do they just stock loads?
 
I've been to midnight launches at asda a few times and once at gamestation. They'll have more than enough copies as they need alot of extra copies to stock the shelves the next day as well.

For a game like CoD you'll need to get there a good hour and a half/2 hours early, it's normally the busiest launch in my experience. The queue is normally up to the door when midnight comes.

If you have a supermarket like asda locally go there instead of gamestation/game. It shouldn't be quite as busy and might be a bit cheaper too.

Been to Fifa 12's since I was still out, but others? No, not really worth the time in my opinion. Just wait till the next morning.
 
Call of Duty midnight launches are notoriously busy, provided you live near a major shopping hub. If you're out in the middle of nowhere then you should be fine.

Get there early.

I got to the MW2 midnight launch an hour and twenty minutes early and was relatively close to the front, by midnight there was a queue out the door (Of Tesco).
 
Don't matter to me, had my pre-order since June, so I'll just waltz in tomorrow afternoon and pick up the copy they're holding for me.

Way easier than midnight release :P
 
Report: Modern Warfare 3 Stolen From Shipping Company, Pirated Report: Modern Warfare 3 Stolen From Shipping Company, Pirated

Look, video games turning up on torrent sites around the days of their release is a given. Happens with almost every game published these days. But no game is bigger in 2011 (at least in terms of sales) thanModern Warfare 3, and the tale of how it's been lifted and pirated is an interesting one.

According to a report on VentureBeat, a copy (well, half a copy) of Modern Warfare 3's PC version - not due out on shelves for another two weeks - has already made its way out of a shipping warehouse in Fresno, California andfound a new home on the internet is reportedly finding new homes via pirated copies of the disc.

The same report says that investigators working for Activision, scouring for traces of the game, are now making their way across America knocking on front doors, politely asking people to either delete their copies or face a $5000 fine.
The same thing of course happened with the last game in the Modern Warfare franchise. And if you think Activision are kidding around with these investigators and threats, you should check out what happened to cdelamo815 when he tried to sell a pirated copy of Modern Warfare 2.

Pirated Modern Warfare 3 discs are already spreading (exclusive) [VentureBeat]
 
A friend of mine was at the midnight launch last night, only went to bed 2 hours ago. Not a good idea.
