It’s no secret that the highly anticipated new first-person-shooter, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 was going to inspire some intense reactions from fans, but the stories surrounding the game’s release are just getting more and more bizarre.
In France, not one but two shipments of the game were robbed at gunpoint. Thieves made off with thousands of copies of the game worth hundreds of thousands of Euros.
Meanwhile, in Aurora, Colorado a 31-year-old gamer’s pre-order was botched by the local Best Buy store. Instead of accepting the store’s offer for an upgraded version of the game, Lomorin Sar went off the deep end:
Employees at the Aurora Best Buy location told authorities that they were “scared for their lives” when Lomorin Sar, 31, allegedly claimed he would shoot people in the parking lot if he could not purchase the military simulation game “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3,” NBC affiliate 9-NEWS reports.
“Investigating officers issued a criminal summons to a man who threatened to carry out his own version of modern warfare at the electronics store. Fortunately, this situation did not end in violence,” said Detective Bob Friel, according to the Aurora Sentinel.

This is just stupid lol. I mean CoD IMO is a crappy game. It got stale after World at war. But I guess just goes to show you what some people will do for a game >.>
