Since the campaign of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 works offline, hackers have cracked it before the official launch.

    You can’t get a full version because the base game requires thousands of players before it’s a viable product. Getting an early copy of COD is like sneaking into a concert venue 3 days before the show.

    Honestly, I dont see how this is anything but good for them. Its a COD game, I’m betting <1% of their sales are folks who just want to play the campaign. Being pirated is like releasing single player as a demo to entice people to buy multiplayer.

      See? THAT’S why Stop Killing Games is bad! Imagine they had also cracked and released the private servers that they would have had to prepare!!!1111oneeleven

      Yeah, that and all the studies that show piracy is good for sales. And the whole “all of the top 100 highest grossing games of all time minus gtaV are free-to-play” thing people tend to forget

        Well that and abusing addicts through microtransactions. Free to play was just to reach more addicts.

      Probably not, but the article doesn’t actually say whether it has DRM or not. Honestly “article” is generous, it reads like this one guy’s thoughts put to paper.
